本期音频：为你读诗---《Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night》不要温和地踏入那静谧良夜

作者Dylan Thomas，是英国作家、诗人。评论界普遍认为Thomas是继奥登以后英国的又一位重要诗人。Thomas的诗作中所蕴含的内容较具有梦幻色彩，通过对于意象的描绘所创造出来的诗境往往引人入胜。Thomas很注重押韵，其诗以易于朗诵闻名。

这首《Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night》（不要温和地踏入那静谧良夜），是Dylan Thomas在父亲生命垂危，已经放弃活下去的期望之时创作的。他希望借此唤起父亲战胜死亡的斗志，不放弃任何活下去的希望。

《Do not go gentle into that good night》

不要温和地踏入那静谧良夜

Dylan Thomas

狄兰·托马斯

Do not go gentle into that good night,

不要温和地踏入那静谧良夜

Old age should burn and rave at close of day;

暮年应在迟暮时燃烧呼啸

Rage,rage against the dying of the light.

怒斥吧，怒斥那光明的微灭

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,

智者临终前深知黑夜到来

Because their words had forked no lightning they

他们的智言将不再迸射闪电

Do not go gentle into that good night.

他们并不温和地踏入那静谧良夜

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright

善良的人啊，当最后一波浪潮呼啸而过，尽情哭喊吧

Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,

微小的行动也能在舞出辉煌

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

怒斥吧，怒斥那光阴的消散

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,

追逐太阳并放声歌唱的勇士们

And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,

幡然醒悟，但为时已晚，他们沉浸在悲痛中已无法自拔。

Do not go gentle into that good night.

不要温和地踏入那静谧良夜

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight

行将就木的人带着迷茫的眼神

Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,

那目光却能行像流星一样绚烂

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

怒斥吧，怒斥那光阴的消散

And you, my father, there on the sad height,

我的父亲啊，你在这伤心欲绝之际

Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.

我祈求，用你的热泪诅咒吧，祝福我吧。

Do not go gentle into that good night.

不要温和地踏入那静谧良夜

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

怒斥吧，怒斥那光阴的消散

诗中“Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light.”，这句诗在科幻电影《星际穿越》中也被反复吟诵。它表达的是，只要人活着，或早或晚，无法避免地都会面对死亡，但无论是谁，无一不是心存敬畏。而面对死亡的态度最能反映出一个人的智慧。古今中外的很多智者都提出这样的训诫：把活着的日子过得精彩，是人面对死亡最好的方式。
