Blow, Blow, Thou Winter Wind

         by William Shakespeare

Blow, blow, thou winter wind,
Thou art not so unkind
As man's ingratitude;
Thy tooth is not so keen
Because thou art not seen,
Although thy breath be rude.
Heigh ho! sing heigh ho! unto the green holly:
Most friendship is feigning, most loving mere folly;
Then, heigh ho! the holly!
This life is most jolly.

Freeze, freeze, thou bitter sky,
That dost not bite so nigh
As benefits forgot:
Though thou the waters warp,
Thy sting is not so sharp
As friendship remember'd not.
Heigh-ho! sing heigh-ho! unto the green holly:
Most friendship is feigning, most loving mere folly;
Then, heigh-ho! the holly!
This life is most jolly.

不惧冬风凛冽

   威廉•莎士比亚

不惧冬风凛冽,
风威远难遽及
人世之寡情;
其为气也虽厉,
其牙尚非甚锐,
风体本无形。
噫嘻乎!且向冬青歌一曲:
友交皆虚妄,恩爱痴人逐。
噫嘻乎冬青!
可乐惟此生。

不愁冱天冰雪,
其寒尚难遽及
受施而忘恩;
风皱满池碧水,
利刺尚难比
捐旧之友人。
噫嘻乎!且向冬青歌一曲:
友交皆虚妄,恩爱痴人逐。
噫嘻乎冬青!
可乐惟此生。

诗歌赏析

  以上这首小诗出自莎翁的著名喜剧《皆大欢喜》(As You Like It)。剧中,亲兄弟反目成仇,弟弟篡夺了哥哥的公爵爵位,将他驱逐出城。公爵与他的随从来到了阿登森林,在那里过着无忧无虑的隐居生活。这首诗就是他的随从在森林里唱的一首歌。

  虽然这首诗只是一首小曲,但它在剧中有着点题的作用。诗中所提到的“人世之寡情”、“受施而忘恩”都暗指公爵的弟弟不顾亲情、篡位夺权的无情行径。诗歌第一部分描写冬天的寒风,然后将它与人的无情无义相比较,认为寒风的刺骨比不上“人世之寡情”。诗歌第二部分描写了冬天的冰雪,认为寒冬的严酷也比不上“受施而忘恩”。

  公爵和他的随从被逐出了环境优越的宫廷,在民间生活中深深地体验到下层人民的疾苦,充分经受了大自然的考验。但他们宁愿忍受大自然的无情,也不愿回到宫廷里那种尔虞我诈、勾心斗角的环境中。诗歌充满了对世态炎凉的厌恶和对田园生活的向往。

  虽然诗中表达了一些看破红尘的悲观思想,如“友交皆虚妄,恩爱痴人逐”,但是对于一个处于生活最低谷的人来说,一时的悲观情绪是可以理解的,同时也不一定成为一个人一生处世之准则。在读此诗时,我们应该更多地看到它对见利忘义和一切丑恶行径的唾弃以及对友情亲情的无限向往。
