王和卿《一半儿·题情》 -经典诗词英译-中英双语赏析

朗读这篇文章

《一半儿·题情》是中国伟大戏曲家关汉卿创作的组曲，由四首小令组成。这四支曲子用同一曲调，调各一韵，描绘一对青年男女一见钟情、别后相思的爱情发展变化的过程。这组曲子写得大胆泼辣，略无顾忌，有审美情感浓烈的一面，而无审美情感隐秘的一面，体现了关曲雅俗共赏、本色当行的特色。

一半儿
 题情

王和卿

（一）

书来和泪怕开缄，

又不归来空再三。

这样病儿谁惯耽[1]!

越恁瘦岩岩[2]，

一半儿增添一半儿减[3]。

注释：

[1]谁惯耽：谁能长久地忍受。

[2]痩岩岩：瘦弱的样子。

[3]一半儿增添一半儿减：增添了愁苦，减少了体重，而曲中并不说破，含蓄婉转。

Tune: Half and Half
· Parting Grief

Wang Heqing

（I）

When I receive his letter, my tears rain;

I am afraid to open it, for again and again

He said he’d come back, but in vain.

How could I not grow thin and my grief be appeased?

When one half has decreased, the other has increased.

（二）

将来书信手拈着[1]，

灯下恣恣观觑[2]了。

两三行字真带草，

提起来越心焦，

一半儿丝挦一半儿烧[3]。

注释：

[1]手拈着：紧握在手中。

[2]观觑：偷偷地看。

[3]一半儿丝挦一半儿烧：一边思量着，一边赶紧把信烧掉。丝：思。

（II）

I take his letter near at hand,

And read it by lamplight carefully.

He wrote carelessly these two lines or three,

Which I am anxious to understand.

Half of his letter is torn apart,

Another half burns my heart.

（三）

别来宽褪缕金衣，

粉悴烟憔[1]减玉肌。

泪点儿只除衫袖知。

盼佳期，

一半儿才干一半儿湿。

注释：

[1]粉悴烟憔：指面容憔悴。

（III）

My golden robe turns loose since my love from me parted;

My powdered face and jadelike skin look broken-hearted.

Tears dripping drop by drop only known to my sleeves, I

Wait for him with a sigh,

My sleeves are half wet and half dry.
