All This I Did without You

没有你，万般精彩皆枉然

背景音乐：

Isaac Shepard - Triumph of Love

作者/Written by Gerald Durrell

译/自由的风

朗读/Gwen

I have seen a thousand sunsets and sunrises-

我见过千般日出和日落

on land where it floods, forest and mountains-

大地上的森林与高山

with honey-coloured light

被镀上一层蜜色光泽

as sea where it rises and sets

在它升落的海面

like blood orange in a multi-coloured nest of cloud

好似五彩云团里的一颗血橙

slipping in and out of the vast ocean

出没不止，在那浩瀚汪洋间

I have seen a thousand moons

我见过千般月色

harvest moons like gold coins

满月好似金币

winter moons as white as ice chips

冬日寒月白如冰屑

new moons like baby swans’ feathers

新月宛如雏天鹅的绒羽

I have seen seas as smooth as if painted

我曾见过大海静谥如画

coloured like shot silk or blue as a kingfisher

色似锦缎，若蓝如翠羽

Or transparent as glass

或通透似玻璃

or black and crumpled with foam

或乌色泛滥出泡沫

moving ponderously and murderously

汹涌得沉重 又狠恶

I have felt winds straight from the South Pole

我曾感受过的风，凛冽自南极而来

bleak and wailing like a lost child

刺骨哀嚎，仿若迷途的孩童

I have lain in water warm as milk, soft as silk

我曾躺在温润如奶 柔滑如丝的水中

while around me played a host of Dolphins

以客道迎待周遭的海豚

I have met a thousand animals and

我遇过千般生灵

and seen a thousand wonderful things

见过千般绝妙的事情

All this I did without you

经历这一切 却没你携手

This was my loss

于我尽是枉过

All this I want to do with you

希这一切所历 有你在左右

This will be my gain

于我便尽是收获

All this I would gladly have forgone

我愿放弃这所有

for the sake of one minute of your company

只为换你一分钟相伴

for your laugh, your voice

换你的笑语，你的声音

your eyes, hair, lips, body

换你明眸秀发朱唇玉体

and above all for your sweet, ever surprising mind

最重要的 换你那美妙而几可惊叹的心智

which is an enchanting quarry

那迷人的宝藏

in which it is my privilege to delve

惟我一人，有权探究
