徐志摩《偶然》翻译
偶然 徐志摩
我是天空里的一片云，
偶尔投影在你的波心--
你不必讶异，
更无须欢喜--
在转瞬间消灭了踪影。
你我相逢在黑夜的海上，
你有你的，我有我的，方向；
你记得也好，
最好你忘掉
在这交会时互放的光亮！
“浪漫主义诗人”印象的徐志摩，这首诗歌的象征性——既有总体象征，又有局部性意象象征——也许格外值得注意。这首诗歌的总体象征是与前面我们所分析的“诗题”与“文本”间的张力结构相一致的。在“偶然”这样一个可以化生众多具象的标题下，“云——水”，“你——我”、“黑夜的海”、“互放的光亮”等意象及意象与意象之间的关系构成，都可以因为读者个人情感阅历的差异及体验强度的深浅而进行不同的理解或组构。这正是“其称名也小，其取类也大”（《易·系辞》）的“象征”之以少喻多、以小喻大、以个别喻一般的妙用。或人世遭际挫折，或情感阴差阳错，或追悔莫及、痛苦有加，或无奈苦笑，怅然若失……人生，必然会有这样一些“偶然”的“相逢”和“交会”。而这“交会时互放的光亮”，必将成为永难忘怀的记忆而长伴人生。
在网上搜到两个英文版本，大家可以评价一下她们和原诗在形和神两方面的异同
Fortuitousness
Being a cloud in the sky
On your heart lake I cast my figure.
You don't have to wonder.
Nor should you cheer--
In an instant I will disappear.
On the dark sea we encounter
In different directions of our own we steer.
It's nice for you to remember.
But you'd better forget the luster
That we've been devoted to each other.
Chance
I am a cloud in the sky,
A chance shadow on the wave of your heart.
Don't be surprised,
Or too elated;
In an instant I shall vanish without trace.
We meet on the sea of dark night,
You on your way, I on mine.
Remember if you will,
Or, better still, forget.
The light exchanged in this encounter.
