兩個月前某日早上,聽了一個對談。
兩位老太太剛重新翻譯了Rilke的”Letters to a Young Poet”,談及第四封信。信中Rilke在耐心地提醒年輕詩人;
”Live the questions now.
Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.”
聽罷有點觸動,提起粗黑筆在本子裡寫下「你尚未成為的」。
人的大部份說話都是嘴巴在說、腦袋在說、情緒在說。而有些更重要的其他,是你的靈魂在替你講話。

這首語用力驚人的詩,你讀過嗎?
來跟 Sonny老師的翻譯&教學札記 學簡單英文表達

在拜登的就職典禮上
22 歲非裔美籍詩人 Amanda Gorman 上台讀詩
這首詩的選字雖然平易近人
但巧妙運用了每個字詞的雙關和歧義
用寫作的角度來說,可謂語用力驚人
報導給出了這個主標題:
The Hill We Climb: the Amanda Gorman poem that stole the inauguration show
The Hill We Climb 是詩的標題
steal the show 指「搶盡風采」
inauguration 就是「就職典禮」
副標題這麼說:
The 22-year-old poet wowed the crowd with her reading during Joe Biden’s swearing-in
wow the crowd 指「讓群眾驚豔」,wow 當動詞有「讓人說 wow 」的意思
swearing-in 指「宣誓就職」
接著讓我們一起來讀詩的第一節:
When day comes, we ask ourselves where can we find light in this never-ending shade?
(當白晝降臨,我們問著自己:在無盡的陰影中如何找到光亮?)
👉 light(光亮)和 shade(陰影)對比
👉 never-ending 永不結束的
The loss we carry, a sea we must wade.
(我們承受著失去,還須度過一片汪洋。)
👉 lose 是動詞,loss 是名詞
👉 wade 指「涉水而過」
We’ve braved the belly of the beast.
(我們抵擋著艱險危殆。)
👉 brave 當動詞用,有「勇敢面對、敢於承受」的意思
👉 belly of the beast 意指「非常危險的境地」
We’ve learned that quiet isn’t always peace,
(我們知曉沉默不代表和睦)
👉 learn 除了「學習」,還有「知道」的意思
and the norms and notions of what “just” is isn’t always justice.
(「正直」的思維和規範,不一定等同正義)
👉 norms and notions 押頭韻 (alliteration),吸引讀者注意力
👉 just 可以當 justice 的形容詞,例如:a just/ an unjust man(一個正直/不正直的人)
And yet, the dawn is ours before we knew it.
(然而在我們知曉之前,黎明就屬於我們)
Somehow we do it.
(我們終究挺了過來)
👉 somehow 原意為「不知怎地」,常用來形容「非常艱難、不知怎麼辦到」
Somehow we’ve weathered and witnessed a nation that isn’t broken,
but simply unfinished.
(我們歷盡滄桑,親眼看見一個國家並非殘破,只是尚未完整)
👉 weather 當動詞時指「遭受風雨吹打」、witness 指「目擊」
👉 能想到 weathered and witnessed 兩個 w 的組合,功力非常高強
光是一個詩節
就有太多靈活但又不會太難的單字用法
值得我們攝取學習
所以建議大家養成沒事就翻翻英文報章的習慣
隨時 pick up 幾個單字或表達方式
把學習英文融入自己的生活中
才能維持學習動力,不斷進步!

拜登的就職典禮上,有個鎂光燈焦點,她是22歲年輕非裔詩人Amanda Gorman,也是有史以來美國總統就職典禮上朗讀詩歌的最年輕詩人,她下台後,美國媒體一致好評,說她的亮眼表現簡直偷走了整個舞台,她ig也硬生生從不到九萬人追蹤,到現在已經有將近兩百六十萬個追蹤者,機會來了,Amanda Gorman成功抓住,也是新的美國夢的代表。
Amanda Gorman來自自由的洛杉磯,去年從哈佛畢業,還在就學的時候就已經嶄露頭角,2017年成為美國第一位National Youth Poet Laureate得主,一直以來她的作品都聚焦在種族平等、反性騷擾等議題,點開影片看看她的朗誦,站在全美國人、全世界的人面前,她台風穩健、絲毫不怯場,用自己的詩作The Hill We Climb抓住了所有人的目光,但我們沒看出來的是,她從小患有語言障礙,無法發出部分字母的音,能這樣站在台上,不知道在台下花了多少努力。
Amanda Gorman在朗誦中強調:「美國人已經體驗過不願同甘共苦、分裂國家的那種力量,這股勢力為了拖延民主發展,也會導致國家被摧毀,但這項行動沒有成功,雖然民主可能遭到耽誤,但是卻永遠不會被擊敗。」她也說:「一個瘦巴巴的黑人女孩,身為奴隸後代,被單親媽媽扶養長大,但是卻能夢想有一天當上總統,現在正在為總統朗誦詩詞。」
五分多鐘的演講,得到全場鼓掌跟歡呼,希望這些激勵人心的詩句,能彌補美國被選舉撕裂的傷痕,我很喜歡她的詩作的結尾,就分享這段不負責翻譯給大家:
當晨曦來臨時 我們可以走出火焰帶來的陰影
When day comes, we step out of the shade of flame
絲毫不畏懼地 讓黎明綻放 只要我們自由釋放
And unafraid, the new dawn blooms as we free it
只要我們足夠勇敢 就永遠能見證光芒
For there is always light if only we’re brave enough to see it
只要我們足夠勇敢
If only we’re brave enough to be it
☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️
以下是Amanda Gorman 《 The Hill We Climb》全文 :
When day comes, we ask ourselves
Where can we find light in this never-ending shade
The loss we carry, a sea we must wade
We’ve braved the belly of the beast
We’ve learned that quiet isn’t always peace
And the norms and notions of what just is
Isn’t always justice
And yet the dawn is ours before we knew it
Somehow we do it
Somehow we’ve weathered and witnessed
A nation that isn’t broken but simply unfinished
We, the successors of a country and a time
Where a skinny black girl descended from slaves
And raised by a single mother
can dream of becoming president
only to find herself reciting for one
And yes we are far from polished, far from pristine
But that doesn’t mean
We are striving to form a union that is perfect
We are striving to forge a union with purpose
To compose a country committed
To all cultures, colors, characters, and conditions of man
And so we lift our gazes not to what stands between us
But what stands before us
We close the divide because we know
To put our future first
We must first put our differences aside
We lay down our arms
So we can reach out our arms to one another
We seek harm to none and harmony for all
Let the globe, if nothing else, say this is true:
That even as we grieved, we grew
That even as we hurt, we hoped
That even as we tired, we tried
That we’ll forever be tied together
Victorious not because we will never again know defeat
But because we will never again sow division
Scripture tells us to envision that everyone
Shall sit under their own vine and fig tree
And no one shall make them afraid
If we’re to live up to our own time,
Then victory won’t lighten the blade
But in all the bridges we’ve made
That is the promise to glade
The hill to climb if only we dare it
Because being American is more than a pride we inherit
It’s the past we step into and how we repair it
We’ve seen a force that would shatter our nation rather than share it,
Would destroy our country if it meant delaying democracy
And this effort very nearly succeeded.
But while democracy can be periodically delayed,
It can never be permanently defeated.
In this truth, in this faith we trust
For while we have our eyes on the future
History has its eyes on us.
This is the era of just redemption we feared
At its inception we did not feel prepared
To be the heirs of such a terrifying hour
But within it we found the power
To author a new chapter
To offer hope and laughter to ourselves
So while once we asked, how could we possibly prevail over catastrophe?
Now we assert: how could catastrophe possibly prevail over us?
We will not march back to what was but move to what shall be,
A country that is bruised but whole,
Benevolent but bold, fierce, and free
We will not be turned around or interrupted by intimidation
Because we know our inaction and inertia
Will be the inheritance of the next generation
Our blunders become their burdens but one thing is certain:
If we merge mercy with might and might with right
Then love becomes our legacy, and change our children’s birthright
So let us leave behind a country better than the one we were left
With every breath from my bronze, pounded chest
We will raise this wounded world into a wondrous one
We will rise from the gold-limbed hills of the west
We will rise from the windswept northeast
Where our forefathers first realized revolution
We will rise from the lake-rimmed cities of the Midwestern states
We will rise from the sunbaked south
We will rebuild, reconcile, and recover
In every known nook of our nation, in every corner called our country
Our people diverse and beautiful will emerge, battered and beautiful
When day comes, we step out of the shade of flame
And unafraid, the new dawn blooms as we free it
For there is always light if only we’re brave enough to see it
If only we’re brave enough to be it
