【赠德利君一语浅作】请玉与君吾友德利

On November 6, 1928, he wrote passionately, "Bye, Again, Cambridge" returned from Cambridge, on a ship backhome. This poem Published on December 10, 1928. ( Vol.1 No10 ) when he chaired as an Editor of a "New Poetry publication" .
He says: Quietly, (as ) I'm leaving , speechless, as I came in silence. Yet, delight rhymes heard within. I wave (my love), to thee, Cambridge, O, a hundred time good byes whispered, (in the air,) the clouds in colors, painted in the sky...
(Silently, as I turn, speechless, 'n quietness in heaven. Silence, 'n my footsteps, when soft music played；So lightly it flies, 'n my sleeve; In a bitter sweet, whisperings, 'n the clouds above, are left colored in the sky...)
Butonly three years after this poem had written, sadly an planeaccident shortened his life, when he was only 35. However, he is still alive, as his name and poems remain, in people's mind.
Life is short but journey is long however, we will go on the journey we start, crossing the bridge; Yes, we shall walk on, and on.

Thank you for your gift – your beautiful translation. I’m very glad toread your master piece, the version of “Chance” by Xu Zhimo. This isthe first time for me to read his poems with my heart. This poem is oneof his most famous classics. I love it so I translated the whole poemand present my version to you in return. Poem-translation is my newfield. It is you that led me to enter this beautiful garden ofpoem-translation. As doing other things, we cannot make poemtranslation confined to a certain style. You have your style, he hashis, and I have mine. Now I’d like to show you my style. Whilecomparing on the whole, I feel that yours is liberal translation（意译）but mine is literal translation（直译）. I quite agree with what you saidabout his poem. In order to make myself well understood, I’d like tomake an explanation in Chinese. Hope you don’t care.

Few days later, I am going to say good bye, to all of you, to this program, toPatricia, she brought us many joys on a journey, walking on a bridge from here tothere, from past to future. She helped me writing a bridge too, a beautiful bridge on Hamilton bay, from where I often walked along the lake shore home in the summer breezes.

附：宋译【偶然-徐志摩 诗】- 08 年夏日
《偶然》
徐志摩
我是天空里的一片云，
偶尔投映在你的波心——
你不必讶异，
更无须欢喜——
在转瞬间消灭了踪影。
你我相逢在黑夜的海上，
你有你的，我有我的，方向；
你记得也好，
最好你忘掉，
在这交会时互放的光亮！
Chance
Translated by Deli Song
I am only a cloud in the sky,
Just by chance mirror in your wave mind -
In surprise no need,
Let alone in glee -
In a flash traces wholly passed by.
We encounter on the sea at dark night,
You have your direction, and I have mine;
Good you remember,
Better you forget,
The light bursting out at our meeting time!
From Internet source, Study purpose only, Discussion welcome
Readers discretion advised!
