作品原文

林徽因 《十月独行》

像个灵魂失落在街边，
我望着十月天上十月的脸，
我向雾里黑影上涂热情
悄悄的看一团流动的月圆。

我也看人流着流着过去来回
黑影中冲着波浪翻星点
我数桥上栏杆龙样头尾，
像坐一条寂寞船，自己拉纤。

我像哭，像自语，我更自己抱歉！
自己焦心，同情，一把心紧似琴弦，——
我说哑的，哑的琴我知道，一出曲子
未唱，幻望的手指终未来在上面？

作品译文

Alone in October
Lin Huiyin

Like a soul lost in the street,
I look up to the sky, to the face of October;
I scribble my passion on the foggy shadow,
Quietly having a look at the moving moon.

I also watch the people coming and going
And breaking on the surge among the dark shadows,
I count the Chinese dragons engraved on the bridge railings,
As sitting in a lonely boat tracked by myself.

As weeping and murmuring, I feel much regretful!
Anxious and compassionate, a heart strained like strings
I say that the mute qin, as I know, no melody wheezed out,
Fingers of fancy do not pluck the strings at last?
