斑驳之美 – 霍普金斯(英音)

PiedBeauty

by GeraldManley Hopkins

请跟英语兔我一起读:

Glory beto God for dappled things—

事物陆离斑驳，光荣归上帝—

For skiesof couple-colour as a brinded cow;

因为有炫彩天空像牛身的花斑；

Forrose-moles all in stipple upon trout that swim;

因为有水中鳟鱼身上玫瑰红点，

Fresh-firecoalchestnut-falls; finches' wings;

有栗子落下如旺火；有雀儿的双翼，

Landscapeplotted and pieced--fold, fallow, and plough;

有分片成块的土地—或起伏，或轮种，或耕翻；

And álltrádes, their gear and tackle and trim.

各色行业，用具与装置齐全

All thingscounter, original, spare, strange;

一切相对，新奇，独特，怪异；

Whateveris fickle, freckled (who knows how?)

变动的都带斑点（谁又知如何？）

Withswift, slow; sweet, sour; adazzle, dim;

快必有慢；酸必有甜；暗必有明；

Hefathers-forth whose beauty is past change: Praise Him.

万物生于他，他的美常在不易：要赞他真灵。
