A Man's A Man For A' That
人总是人,不管那一切
Robert Burns
罗伯特.彭斯
Is there for honest poverty
That hings his head, an' a' that
The coward slave, we pass him by
We dare be poor for a' that!
For a' that, an' a' that,
Our toils obscure, an' a' that;
The rank is but the guinea's stamp,
The man's the gowd for a' that.
是否有人因清白的贫穷,
便垂头丧气,这样那样的?
这种怯懦的奴才,我们不睬他--
我们敢于做穷人,不管那一切!
不管那一切,那一切,
我们干的活儿低贱,这样那样的,
官位不过是金币上的图案,
人才是真金,不管那一切.
What though on hamely fare we dine,
Wear hoddin grey, an' a' that ?
Gie fools their silks, and knaves their wine--
A man's a man for a' that.
For a' that, an' a' that,
Their tinsel show, an' a' that,
The honest man, tho' e'er sae poor,
Is king o' men for a' that.
我们吃粗茶淡饭,
穿破旧衣服,这样那样的,算得了什么?
让蠢人穿绫罗绸缎,让恶棍去花天酒地,
人总是人,不管那一切.
不管那一切,那一切,
他们虚有其表,这样那样的,
清白的人虽然一贫如洗,
却是人中英杰,不管那一切.
Ye see yon birkie, ca'd a lord,
Wha struts, an' stares, an' a' that ?
Thou' hundreds worship at his word,
He's but a coof for a' that.
For a' that, an' a' that,
His ribband, star, an' a' that,
The man o' independent mind,
He looks and laughs at a' that.
你看那个家伙,被称作"老爷",
高视阔步,这样那样的?
尽管上千人任凭他使唤,
他不过是个傻瓜,不管那一切。
不管那一切,那一切,
他那绶带,星章,这样那样的,
有独立见解的人
看了只会嗤笑那一切。
A prince can mak a belted knight,
A marquis, duke, an' a' that!
But an honest man's aboon his might
Guid faith, he mauna fa' that !
For a' that, an' a' that,
Their dignities, an' a' that,
The pith o' sense an' pride o' worth,
Are higher rank than a' that.
君王可以钦赐佩带册封爵士,
侯爵、公爵,这样那样的!
但是清白的人可不服他的管--
老实说,君王的权力对他毫无作用!
不管那一切,那一切,
他们权势显赫,这样那样的,
洞察真理的睿智,值得自豪的品格,
高于那一切。
Then let us pray that come it may,
As come it will for a' that,
That Sense and Worth, o'er a' the earth,
Shall bear the gree, an' a' that!
For a' that, an' a' that,
It's comin yet for a' that,
That man to man, the world o'er,
Shall brithers be for a' that.
那么,让我们祈祷,但愿那一天会来到--
不管那一切,那一天必定会来到,
那时智慧和品格将在全世界
赢得胜利,这样那样的!
不管那一切,那一切,
那一天就要来到,不管那一切,
那时普天之下
人人皆是兄弟,不管那一切。
