The Night Has a Thousand Eyes

Francis William Bourdillon

The night has a thousand eyes, 一千颗星辰照亮着夜空

And the day but one; 但只有一个太阳能点亮白昼

Yet the light of the bright world die, 如果这世界会有黯淡的时候

With the dying sun. 那一定是太阳离开世界那天

The mind has a thousand eyes, 一千双眼睛扰乱着思绪

And the heart but one; 但只有一双眼睛能萦绕心头

Yet the light of a whole life dies, 如果我的生命会有黯淡的时候

When love is done. 那一定是你的爱离开我那天

Poet to love than to the sun, compared to rational Stars. When the sun is gone, even though stars, can not illuminate the earth. As a person even if Caigaobadou, without love, his life will lose luster - no wonder that ancient and modern "wake up the right to hold the world," the heroes are still Dream evening thinking "Zuiwo beauty knee" Ah! This short poem written quite simple and obvious folk style, very suitable for singing. In addition to thousand and dying away, all monosyllabic words; before and after the two stanzas of the sentence, the structure is identical, only for a few key words. Yin is not only up and circle again, abundant charm, the philosophy is also gradually deepened, the final derived conclusion: "to lose heart as there is no daylight love the earth." Such expressions are very consistent with the theory of classical Chinese poetry of the "mood" (more than: "He objects to this object metaphor," Xing: "He made out of this and intended to") of the Road, see the text although the East and West different, but the "Poetic" is still connected.

诗人把爱情比作太阳，把理性比作星光。当夕阳西沉，尽管繁星点点，也无法照亮大地。正如一个人即使才高八斗，如果缺乏爱情，他的人生就失去了光彩－－难怪古今“醒握天下权”的英雄豪杰们都还朝梦夕想着“醉卧美人膝”呀！这首短诗文字浅显颇有民歌风味，非常适合吟唱。除了thousand和dying以外，都是单音节字；前后两诗节的句型、结构完全相同，只是换了几个关键词。不但吟起来循环反复，韵味盎然，在哲理上也是逐步深入，最后导出结论：“失去爱情的心灵如同没有日光的大地”。这样的表达方法也非常符合中国古典诗歌创作理论中的“比兴”【比：以彼物喻此物；兴：言出此而意彼】之道，可见东西方的文字虽然不同，但是诗心仍然是相通的。

夜晚陈怀义译

夜晚有一千只眼睛，

白天却只有一只眼；

而光明的世界之光

却随落日一起消亡

头脑可容纳千种思想，

人身却只有一个心脏；

而人的整个生命之火，

却随爱情消逝而灭亡

赏析：这首诗是用对比、反衬的方法描写说明事物。第一节说的自然现象：夜晚、星星和太阳；夜晚有一千只眼睛---是写星星，满天星星像一只只眼睛，成千上万只眼睛，又像千万盏灯光；白天只有一只眼---太阳；‘而光明的世界之光，却随落日一起消亡’太阳一落---夜晚。

第二节说的是人的生命思想和爱情的关系：‘人的头脑可有一千种思想。人的整个生命之火，却随爱情的消逝而灭亡’“生命诚宝贵，爱情价更高，”人间如果没有爱，生命也就没有什么意义了。这首诗虽短只有两小节，但从大自然说到人类，思想深刻，语言简练，结构严谨，值得一读。
