刘易斯·卡罗尔(Lewis Carroll, 1932-1892)在《镜中世界》(Through the Looking-Glass, 1871)一书中的诗——Jabberwocky
原文:
Jabberwocky
'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"
He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought --
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought
And as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!
One, two! One, two! and through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.
"And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!"
He chortled in his joy.
'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

Il brilgue: les toves lubricilleux
Se gyrent en vrillant dans le guave.
Enmimes sont les gougebosqueux
Et le momerade horsgrave.
德文:由Robert Scott翻译
Es brillig war. Die schlichten Toven
Wirrten und wimmelten in waben;
Und aller-mumsige Burggoven
Die mohmen Rath'ausgraben. |
