汉译英——乡愁

一抹冰蓝 2006/10/25

转帖两译版： 版一 When I was a child, my homesickness was a small stamp 　　 Linking Mum at the other end and me this. When grown up, I remained homesick, but it became a ticket 　　 By which I sailed to and from my bride at the other end. 　　 Then homesickness took the shape of a grave, 　　 Mum inside of it and me outside. 　　 Now I’m still homesick, but it is a narrow strait 　　 Separating me on this side and the mainland on the other. 版二 Homesick For youth, Homesick was a tiny Mail Stamp, I was on one corner, Mother’s on the other; As grown-up, Homesick became a narrow Ship Ticket, I was on one end, My new-wed on the other; Later, oh, later, Homesick was a short Tomb Stone, I stood in the front, Mom’s buried behind； Now-a-day, Homesick becomes a shallow Ocean Strait, I am on one side, Mainland home is on the other.
