The Love Song Of J. Alfred Prufrock (Soundtrack)-Karl Verkade

[00:05.64]Let us go then, you and I,
那么我们走吧，你我两个人， [00:08.98]When the evening is spread out against the sky
正当朝天空慢慢铺展着黄昏 [00:14.27]Like a patient etherized upon a table;
好似病人麻醉在手术桌上； [00:19.64]Let us go, through certain half-deserted streets,
我们走吧，穿过一些半清冷的街， [00:23.91]The muttering retreats
那儿休憩的场所正人声喋喋； [00:25.10]Of restless nights in one-night cheap hotels
有夜夜不宁的下等歇夜旅店 [00:29.59]And sawdust restaurants with oyster-shells:
和满地蚌壳的铺锯末的饭馆； [00:34.63]Streets that follow like a tedious argument
街连着街，好象一场讨厌的争议 [00:37.98]Of insidious intent
带着阴险的意图 [00:41.42]To lead you to an overwhelming question ...
要把你引向一个重大的问题…… [00:46.32]Oh, do not ask, "What is it?"
唉，不要问，“那是什么？” [00:49.97]Let us go and make our visit.
让我们快点去作客。 [00:53.89]In the room the women come and go
在客厅里女士们来回地走， [00:55.83]Talking of Michelangelo.
谈着画家米开朗基罗。 [01:00.52]The yellow fog that rubs its back upon the window-panes,
黄色的雾在窗玻璃上擦着它的背， [01:05.75]The yellow smoke that rubs its muzzle on the window-panes,
黄色的烟在窗玻璃上擦着它的嘴， [01:10.68]Licked its tongue into the corners of the evening,
把它的舌头舐进黄昏的角落， [01:14.70]Lingered upon the pools that stand in drains,
徘徊在快要干涸的水坑上； [01:19.54]Let fall upon its back the soot that falls from chimneys,
让跌下烟囱的烟灰落上它的背， [01:24.29]Slipped by the terrace, made a sudden leap,
它溜下台阶，忽地纵身跳跃， [01:30.07]And seeing that it was a soft October night,
看到这是一个温柔的十月的夜， [01:34.45]Curled once about the house, and fell asleep.
于是便在房子附近蜷伏起来安睡。 [01:40.78]And indeed there will be time
呵，确实地，总会有时间 [01:44.31]For the yellow smoke that slides along the street,
看黄色的烟沿着街滑行， [01:47.90]Rubbing its back upon the window-panes;
在窗玻璃上擦着它的背； [01:50.96]There will be time, there will be time
总会有时间，总会有时间 [01:54.64]To prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet;
装一副面容去会见你去见的脸； [01:57.98]There will be time to murder and create,
总会有时间去暗杀和创新， [02:02.59]And time for all the works and days of hands
总会有时间让举起问题又丢进你盘里的 [02:06.16]That lift and drop a question on your plate;
双手完成劳作与度过时日； [02:10.28]Time for you and time for me,
有的是时间，无论你，无论我， [02:13.72]And time yet for a hundred indecisions,
还有的是时间犹豫一百遍， [02:17.08]And for a hundred visions and revisions,
或看到一百种幻景再完全改过， [02:19.55]Before the taking of a toast and tea.
在吃一片烤面包和饮茶以前。 [02:23.92]In the room the women come and go
在客厅里女士们来回地走， [02:26.09]Talking of Michelangelo.
谈着画家米开朗基罗。 [02:31.09]And indeed there will be time
呵，确实地，总还有时间 [02:34.75]To wonder, "Do I dare?" and, "Do I dare?"
来疑问，“我可有勇气？”“我可有勇气？” [02:40.39]Time to turn back and descend the stair,
总还有时间来转身走下楼梯， [02:43.95]With a bald spot in the middle of my hair—
把一块秃顶暴露给人去注意—— [02:47.41](They will say: "How his hair is growing thin!")
（她们会说：“他的头发变得多么稀！”） [02:51.19]My morning coat, my collar mounting firmly to the chin,
我的晨礼服，我的硬领在腭下笔挺， [02:56.06]My necktie rich and modest, but asserted by a simple pin--
我的领带雅致而多彩，用一个简朴的别针固定—— [03:03.49](They will say: "But how his arms and legs are thin!")
（她们会说：“可是他的胳膊腿多么细！”） [03:10.05]Do I dare
我可有勇气 [03:10.66]Disturb the universe?
搅乱这个宇宙？ [03:15.44]In a minute there is time
在一分钟里总还有时间 [03:17.91]For decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse.
决定和变卦，过一分钟再变回头。 [03:24.76]For I have known them all already, known them all:
因为我已经熟悉了她们，熟悉了她们所有的人—— [03:29.90]Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons,
熟悉了那些黄昏，和上下午的情景， [03:34.12]I have measured out my life with coffee spoons;
我是用咖啡匙子量走了我的生命； [03:38.68]I know the voices dying with a dying fall
我熟悉每当隔壁响起了音乐 [03:42.88]Beneath the music from a farther room.
话声就逐渐低微而至停歇。 [03:48.74]So how should I presume?
所以我怎么敢开口？ [03:52.60]And I have known the eyes already, known them all—
而且我已熟悉那些眼睛， [03:57.50]The eyes that fix you in a formulated phrase,
熟悉了她们所有的眼睛—— [04:00.71]And when I am formulated, sprawling on a pin,
当我被公式化了， [04:04.29]When I am pinned and wriggling on the wall,
在别针下趴伏， [04:08.04]Then how should I begin
那我怎么能开始吐出 [04:10.44]To spit out all the butt-ends of my days and ways?
我的生活和习惯的全部剩烟头？ [04:13.67]And how should I presume?
我又怎么敢开口？ [04:16.55]And I have known the arms already, known them all—
而且我已经熟悉了那些胳膊，熟悉了她们所有的胳膊—— [04:20.32]Arms that are braceleted and white and bare
那些胳膊带着镯子，又袒露又白净 [04:24.21](But in the lamplight, downed with light brown hair!)
（可是在灯光下，显得淡褐色毛茸茸！） [04:28.89]Is it perfume from a dress
是否由于衣裙的香气 [04:32.10]That makes me so digress?
使得我这样话离本题？ [04:36.04]Arms that lie along a table, or wrap about a shawl.
那些胳膊或围着肩巾，或横在案头。 [04:41.16]And should I then presume?
那时候我该开口吗？ [04:44.27]And how should I begin?
可是我怎么开始？ [04:49.64]Shall I say, I have gone at dusk through narrow streets
是否我说，我在黄昏时走过窄小的街， [04:54.09]And watched the smoke that rises from the pipes
看到孤独的男子只穿着衬衫 [04:57.00]Of lonely men in shirt-sleeves, leaning out of windows? ...
倚在窗口，烟斗里冒着袅袅的烟？…… [05:05.07]I should have been a pair of ragged claws
那我就会成为一对蟹螯 [05:07.00]Scuttling across the floors of silent seas.
急急爬过沉默的海底。 [05:13.28]And the afternoon, the evening, sleeps so peacefully!
啊，那下午，那黄昏，睡得多平静！ [05:17.61]Smoothed by long fingers,
被纤长的手指轻轻抚爱， [05:21.34]Asleep ... tired ... or it malingers,
睡了……倦慵的……或者它装病， [05:28.43]Stretched on the floor, here beside you and me.
躺在地板上，就在你我脚边伸开。 [05:33.66]Should I, after tea and cakes and ices,
是否我，在用过茶、糕点和冰食以后， [05:37.52]Have the strength to force the moment to its crisis?
有魄力把这一刻推到紧要的关头？ [05:42.43]But though I have wept and fasted, wept and prayed,
然而，尽管我曾哭泣和斋戒，哭泣和祈祷， [05:47.48]Though I have seen my head (grown slightly bald) brought in upon a platter,
尽管我看见我的头（有一点秃了）用盘子端了进来， [05:53.42]I am no prophet—and here’s no great matter;
我不是先知——这也不值得大惊小怪； [05:58.79]I have seen the moment of my greatness flicker,
我曾看到我伟大的时刻闪烁， [06:02.68]And I have seen the eternal Footman hold my coat, and snicker,
我曾看到那永恒的“侍者”拿着我的外衣暗笑， [06:10.29]And in short, I was afraid.
一句话，我有点害怕。 [06:15.93]And would it have been worth it, after all,
而且，归根到底，是不是值得 [06:18.98]After the cups, the marmalade, the tea,
当小吃、果子酱和红茶已用过， [06:21.64]Among the porcelain, among some talk of you and me,
在杯盘中间，当人们谈着你和我， [06:25.43]Would it have been worth while,
是不是值得以一个微笑 [06:27.87]To have bitten off the matter with a smile,
把这件事情一口啃掉， [06:30.58]To have squeezed the universe into a ball
把整个宇宙压缩成一个球， [06:33.00]To roll it toward some overwhelming question,
使它滚向某个重大的问题， [06:35.88]To say: "I am Lazarus, come from the dead,
说道：“我是拉撒路，从冥界 [06:38.42]Come back to tell you all, I shall tell you all"—
来报一个信，我要告诉你们一切。”—— [06:43.15]If one, settling a pillow by her head,
万一她把枕垫放在头下一倚， [06:45.66] Should say: "That is not what I meant at all;
说道：“唉，我意思不是要谈这些； [06:51.17] That is not it, at all."
不，我不是要谈这些。” [06:54.97]And would it have been worth it, after all,
那么，归根到底，是不是值得， [06:58.24]Would it have been worth while,
是否值得在那许多次夕阳以后， [07:00.29]After the sunsets and the dooryards and the sprinkled streets,
在庭院的散步和水淋过街道以后， [07:03.95]After the novels, after the teacups, after the skirts that trail along the floor—
在读小说以后，在饮茶以后，在长裙拖过地板以后，—— [07:10.23]And this, and so much more?—
说这些，和许多许多事情？—— [07:14.50]It is impossible to say just what I mean!
要说出我想说的话绝不可能！ [07:20.06]But as if a magic lantern threw the nerves in patterns on a screen:
仿佛有幻灯把神经的图样投到幕上： [07:25.02]Would it have been worth while
是否还值得如此难为情， [07:27.33]If one, settling a pillow or throwing off a shawl,
假如她放一个枕垫或掷下披肩， [07:31.68]And turning toward the window, should say:
把脸转向窗户，甩出一句： [07:35.05]"That is not it at all,
“那可不是我的本意， [07:38.48]That is not what I meant, at all."
那可绝不是我的本意。” [07:42.99]No I am not Prince Hamlet, nor was meant to be;
不！我并非哈姆雷特王子，当也当不成； [07:47.68]Am an attendant lord, one that will do
我只是个侍从爵士，为王家出行， [07:51.47]To swell a progress, start a scene or two,
铺排显赫的场面，或为王子出主意， [07:54.80]Advise the prince; no doubt, an easy tool,
就够好的了；无非是顺手的工具， [08:05.39]Deferential, glad to be of use,
服服帖帖，巴不得有点用途， [08:09.17]Politic, cautious, and meticulous;
细致，周详，处处小心翼翼； [08:12.98]Full of high sentence, but a bit obtuse;
满口高谈阔论，但有点愚鲁； [08:16.76]At times, indeed, almost ridiculous—
有时候，老实说，显得近乎可笑， [08:20.92]Almost, at times, the Fool.
有时候，几乎是个丑角。 [08:27.42]I grow old ... I grow old ...
呵，我变老了……我变老了…… [08:34.77]I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled.
我将要卷起我的长裤的裤脚。 [08:39.41]Shall I part my hair behind? Do I dare to eat a peach?
我将把头发往后分吗？我可敢吃桃子？ [08:46.00]I shall wear white flannel trousers, and walk upon the beach.
我将穿上白法兰绒裤在海滩上散步。 [08:51.61]I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each.
我听见了女水妖彼此对唱着歌。 [08:58.65]I do not think that they will sing to me.
我不认为她们会为我而唱歌。 [09:04.49]I have seen them riding seaward on the waves
我看过她们凌驾波浪驶向大海， [09:09.09]Combing the white hair of the waves blown back
梳着打回来的波浪的白发， [09:13.68]When the wind blows the water white and black.
当狂风把海水吹得又黑又白。 [09:21.16]We have lingered in the chambers of the sea
我们留连于大海的宫室， [09:24.33]By sea-girls wreathed with sea**** red and brown
被海妖以红的和棕的海草装饰， [09:30.44]Till human voices wake us, and we drown.
一旦被人声唤醒，我们就淹死。
