张培基英译中国现代散文选(一)之《墓》
墓
——郭沫若
昨朝我一个人在松林里徘徊，在一株老松树下戏筑了一座砂丘(1)。
我说，这便是我自己的坟墓了(2)。
我便拣了一块白石来写上了我自己的名字，把来做了墓碑。
我在墓的两旁还移种了两株稚松(3)把它伴守。
我今朝回想起来，又一人走来凭吊(4)。
但我已经走遍了这莽莽的松原，我的坟墓究竟往那儿去了呢？
啊，死了的我昨日的尸骸哟(5)，哭墓的是你自己的灵魂，我的坟墓究竟往那儿去了呢？
注释：
(1)“戏筑了一座砂丘”的意思是“堆起一座砂丘以自娱”，现译为I amused myself by piling up a small sand-hill，也可译为I piled up for fun a small sandhill。“筑”在这里作“堆积”解，故译为piling up，不宜按字面译为building或constructing等。译文中的small是添加成分，原文虽无其词而有其意。
(2)“这便是我自己的坟墓了”含有说话者的意图，故译文用祈使句表达：Let this be my own grave，和This shall be my own grave同义。
(3)“稚松”即“松树苗”，故译为pine sapling。
(4)“凭吊”在此作“探望”解，译to pay a visit to即可，不必译为to pay homage to或to pay respects to等。
(5)“啊，死了的我昨日的尸骸哟”译为O ye remains of my yesterday’s dead self，其中ye作“你”解，属古语，在此用以烘托散文诗的格调。
The Grave
——Guo Moruo
Yesterday morning, while wandering about alone in a pine forest, I amused myself by piling up a small sand-hill under an old pine tree.
“Let this be my own grave,” said I.
Picking up a piece of white stone, I scribbled my name on it and said, “Let this be my own gravestone.”
On either side of the grave, I transplanted a pine sapling to keep it company..
This morning, recalling the grave, I went to pay a visit to it.
But the grave was nowhere to be found though I searched every nook and corner of the dense forest. Where was it gone to?
O ye remains of my yesterday’s dead self, it was your own soul that had come to mourn at the grave! Where was my grave gone to?
