中英对照赏析|My birthday 过生日

My heart is like a singing bird

Whose nest is in a watered shoot;

My heart is like an apple tree

Whose boughs^{1 are bent2 with thickset fruit;}

My heart is like a rainbow shell

That paddles in a halcyon^{3 sea;}

My heart is gladder than all these

Because my love is coming to me.

我的心像只鸣啼的小鸟

在柔润的技条上筑着巢;

我的心像棵苹果树

被累累的硕果压弯了腰;

我的心像个虹彩的贝壳

在平静的海上轻轻荡漾;

我的心比这类还更欢畅

由于我的爱情已经来到。

Raise me a dais of silk and down;

Hang it with vair and purple dyes;

Carve it with doves and pomegranates

And peacocks with a hundred eyes;

Work it in gold and silver grapes,

In leaves and silver fleurs-de-lys;

Because the birthday of my life is coming,

My love is coming to me.

为我造一座丝绒的讲座

用金色和紫色颜料涂染;

在上面雕刻鸽子和石榴

还有孔雀长着一百只眼;

再用金银葡萄把它妆扮

树叶和鹫尾草银光闪闪;

由于我的过生日已经到来，

由于我的爱情已经来到。
