无言之爱,却句句皆情
在中文里,“只字不提爱”是一种微妙而深刻的艺术表达方式,它让人感受到情感的细腻和深沉。这种艺术风格,在英文中同样可以找到其独特的体现。本文将通过一系列诗句,展现“无言之爱”的美,虽然没有直接提及“love”,但句句都是对爱情的歌颂与描绘。
# 1. 《十四行诗》——莎士比亚
在莎士比亚的经典作品中,《十四行诗》(Sonnet)系列是诗人情感表达的精华。这里选取其中一首来展示:
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimmed;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimmed;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander’st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou growest:
So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
尽管这首诗中没有直接出现“love”这个词,但它通过赞美夏日的美丽来隐喻对人的爱慕。莎士比亚将爱人比作夏日的温暖与美好,表达的是永恒不变的情感。
# 2. 《夜莺颂》——济慈
约翰·济慈在《夜莺颂》(To a Nightingale)中写道:
When old age shall this generation waste,
Thou shalt remain, in midst of other woe
Than ours, a friend to man, to whom thou sayest,
