聂鲁达 Sonnet XVII

Sonnet XVII Pablo Neruda 巴勃罗·聂鲁达 第17首十四行诗 覃学岚 译 I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz, or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off. I love you as certain dark things are to be loved, in secret, between the shadow and the soul. I love you as the plant that never blooms but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers; thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance, risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body. I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride; so I love you because I know no other way than this: where I does not exist, nor you, so close that your hand on my chest is my hand, so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep. 我爱你，但不会像爱刺激的玫瑰、黄玉 或者康乃馨火舌般的花蕊那样。 我爱你，像爱某些隐秘可爱的东西那样， 在阴影与灵魂之间，偷偷地爱你。 我爱你，就像爱从不开花，身上却透着 看不见的花的光芒的植物那样； 由于你的爱，某种纯真的香味 自大地升起，隐隐活在我体内。 我爱你，对爱的方式，时间，起点概不知晓。 我爱你，爱得直截了当，既不复杂也不骄傲； 我爱你，因为除了爱你，我不知道 别的办法：你我形影相随，唇齿相依， 亲密得我胸口上你与我的手莫辨彼此， 亲密得我进入梦乡，你也会双眼紧闭。
