诗词英译赏析（寻鹿记汉诗英译）
诗词英译赏析（寻鹿记汉诗英译）不同的路将通往不同的远方，经过在我们的危险旅途中被温柔地述说。像一棵棵树一样在山谷边渐次展开。但这次不再作为具体的事物，而是作为被虚构的对象，作为想象的鹿，
寻鹿记童作焉
“树深时见鹿，溪午不闻钟。”
深秋如约降临，峭壁上的草木枯黄。
一群鹿停下脚步，顶起头上的枯枝，
像一棵棵树一样在山谷边渐次展开。
但这次不再作为具体的事物，而是
作为被虚构的对象，作为想象的鹿，
在我们的危险旅途中被温柔地述说。
不同的路将通往不同的远方，经过
季节递嬗的路口，穿过玫瑰和荆棘。
你远眺，有时是歧路，有时是断崖。
生活流亡之地，命运的地图被碾碎。
我在初启封的迷宫走失，跌跌撞撞。
而一条条新的铁轨，径自向前延伸。
本来是状如麒麟的神兽，头上带角，
背后有一双巨大的翅膀。后来成为
算命先生推演命运的一条主要线索。
曾经毕生所求，都是所谓功名利禄。
我们溢出我们自身，体内却在生锈。
身体奔向高处，心却游向了湖心亭。
经历一场盛大悲喜，最后再来预设
返航路上的情景。一滴露水在秋天
刚刚形成，将无尽的宇宙囊括其中。
一批批寻鹿的人，匆忙地经过这里。
但如果驻足凝视这露水，露水凝视
你内心深处，无数的星辰将照耀你。
Deer Seekers
by Tong Zuoyan
“Deer are seen in deep woods by a creek far from midday bells.”
Autumn comes as promised over the cliffdrop with yellow grasses.
A herd of deer come by raising their twiggy antlers
like trees fanning out in the valley one by one.
For sure I am not talking about red deer or white-tailed deer
but something quixotic an allegorical deer
an idea that we hold dear to heart on a treacherous journey.
Each fork on the road takes you to a different horizon to
new forks in new seasons through rosebushes and brambles.
Prodding forward you might find a lost trail or a precipice.
A life in exile a map with known destinies torn apart
meanwhile the new door opens into a jungle where I scurry and stumble.
And there are new tracks each paving its way forward.
It was a heavenly beast horned like Kirin
paired with gigantic wings. Then it became
a hot trail for fortunetellers to deduce prophesies.
All that we wanted in life was power success and money.
But under the splendid exterior the heart is thick with rust.
Our feet reach the higher ground but long for a pavilion in the lake.
The odyssey is near the end glories and sorrows fading
time to contemplate closing the circle. An autumn dewdrop
freshly coalesced holds a universe within.
Deer seekers come rushing in and out in droves.
Ah if you stop to behold the dewdrop it will
enter your heart and the stars will shine their light on you.
