【To A Woman (A une femme)】

Victor Hugo (1802-1885)

  Child! if I were king, I would give the empire,

  And my chariot, and my scepter, and my people on their knees

  And my crown of gold, and my baths of porphyry,

  And my fleets, for which the sea cannot suffice,

  For a look of you!

  If I were God, the earth and the air with the waves,

  Angels, demons bowed before my law,

  And the deep chaos with fertile entrails,

  Eternity, space, and the heavens, and the worlds,

  For a kiss from you!

【《致女人》】

(法國)勝利者·雨果“哲人”(1802生—1885卒)

【紅霞譯】

            寶貝！如果我是國王，我情願獻出王位，

            我的戰車、權杖、跪拜的子民

            我的王冕金冠、斑岩浴場，

            還有大海無法容納的艦隊，

            只為換取你的一個眼神！

            如果我是上帝，我情願捨棄大地、天空和海洋，

            天使、惡魔在我的律法面前俯首稱臣，

            我情願捨棄飫甘饜肥的渾噩、

            永恆、宇宙和極樂世界，

            只為換取你的一個親吻！

【注】孔卡爾諾“角岬”圍城是法國西北部中世紀的軍事要塞，始建於14世紀，由國王路易“名將”十四的忠實顧問——“尊者·神父·沃邦”(Sébastien le Prestre de Vauban)設計構建，藉以扼守大西洋，英法兩國為爭奪這座防禦小島曾多次武力交手，如今已穩居法國第三大鮮魚港口，除了沙丁魚生產和罐頭加工業的悠久歷史引以為傲而外，它還是歐洲領先的金槍魚碼頭。
