【Ulysses】

Umberto Saba (1883—1957)

          In my youth, I sailed

          the Dalmatian coast. Tiny islands

          rose from the surface of the waves, covered

        with algae, slippery, beautiful as emeralds in the sun,

          where an occasional bird paused searching for prey.

          When the high tide and night submerged them,

          sails under wind-dispersed offshore

          to escape the peril. Today my kingdom

          is that no man‘s land. The port

          lights its lamps for others; still driving me on

          to the open sea, my unbroken spirit

          and the aching love of life.

【《怒神》】

阳光斗士•萨巴(1883生—1957卒)

              在我的青春，我航向

              达尔玛西亚海滩。岩石

              从波浪的表面升起，

              狡猾，铺满杂草，

              鸟向猎物疾飞，过于急切

              而不能停下，于翡翠绿

           它们阳光里的化身。当高高的波浪

              和夜晚淹没它们，船

              向深处转向，绕开

              它们的陷阱。今天我的帝国

              已不是人的土地。港口

              为他人点亮它的灯光；一个未驯服的

              灵魂，仍在召唤我出海，

              一种对生活的可怜的爱。
