泰戈尔原文:

The movement of life has its rest in its own music.


冯唐版:

生命的运动在它自己的音乐里安歇


郑振铎版:

生命的运动在它自己的音乐里得到它的休息。


我的翻译:

生命的乐章在它自己的乐曲中休止。

movement

n.

1.[c][u](身体部位的)运动,转动,活动an act of moving the body or part of the body

2.[c][u]移动;迁移;转移;活动an act of moving from one place to another or of moving sth from one place to another

3.[cspv](具有共同思想或目标的)运动a group of people who share the same ideas or aims

4.[pl](尤指受监视者的)活动;行踪a person's activities over a period of time, especially as watched by sb else

5.[sing]~ (away from/towards sth)逐步的转变a gradual change in what people in society do or think

6.[u]~ (in sth)(尤指某一工作的)进步,进展progress, especially in a particular task

7.[u][c]~ (in sth)量的变化;增减a change in amount

8.[c]乐章any of the main parts that a long piece of music is divided into

乐章:是一个由多个内部完整的部分组成的大的经典音乐作品(如交响乐、协奏曲等)中的一个完整的部分。在一部音乐作品中,各个乐章一般按分明不同的速度、风格和节拍而排列。乐章的题目一般说明其速度(如快板、慢板等)、风格(如"热情的快板"等)或形式(如"小步舞曲"等)。

在bing词典中看到的movement还有“乐章” 的意思,直觉泰戈尔应该是想表达“生命的乐章”而非“生命的运动”。在百度看到乐章的概念,让我忍不住想到“休止符”,想到表妹学古筝时候该停顿的时候自己打折拍子嘴里念念有词:“xxxxx空,空。”(xxxxx是什么dao,ruai,mi,fa,sao,la,xi之类,没学过声乐,暂用拼音代替了)乐章是一个大作品,每个乐章之间的风格速度都不同,那么,肯定会出现停顿的时候。再说了,若是不停顿,一口气唱完一首歌也不现实啊。

联想到人生,人生也不是百米赛,非要一口气冲到底。人生更像是马拉松,跑跑停停,停停跑跑;或者高级点的跑步的人可能会用慢跑代替快跑,用急行代替慢跑。就像手机,也不是一直有电吧,总得有个休息的时候吧?!人,活着,都有自己的时间表,没必要事事强求自己。就像网上流行的那首小诗:

纽约时间比加州时间早三个小时,

New York is 3 hours ahead of California,

但加州时间并没有变慢。

but it does not make California slow.

有人22岁就毕业了,

Someone graduated at the age of 22,

但等了五年才找到好的工作!

but waited 5 years before securing a good job!

有人25岁就当上CEO,

Someone became a CEO at 25,

却在50岁去世。

and died at 50.

也有人迟到50岁才当上CEO,

While another became a CEO at 50,

然后活到90岁。

and lived to 90 years.

有人依然单身,

Someone is still single,

同时也有人已婚。

while someone else got married.

奥巴马55岁就退休,

Obama retires at 55,

川普70岁才开始当总统。

but Trump starts at 70.

世上每个人本来就有自己的发展时区。

Absolutely everyone in this world works based on their Time Zone.

身边有些人看似走在你前面,

People around you might seem to go ahead of you,

也有人看似走在你后面。

some might seem to be behind you.

但其实每个人在自己的时区都有自己的步伐。

But everyone is running their own RACE, in their own TIME.

不用嫉妒或嘲笑他们。

Don’t envy them or mock them.

他们都在自己的时区里,你也是!

They are in their TIME ZONE, and you are in yours!

生命就是等待正确的行动时机。

Life is about waiting for the right moment to act.

所以,放轻松。

So, RELAX.

你没有落后。

You’re not LATE.

你没有领先。

You’re not EARLY.

在命运为你安排的属于自己的时区里,一切都准时。

You are very much ON TIME, and in your TIME ZONE Destiny set up for you.
