向太阳
Facing the Sun
一我起来
1 .I Get Up
我起来—
I get up一
像一只困倦的野兽
Like a drowsy beast
受过伤的野兽
An injured beast
从狼籍着败叶的林数
From the forest of dry scattered leaves
从冰冷的岩石上
From an ice-cold rock
挣扎了好久
Struggling for some time
才支撑着上身
I manage to prop my body up
睁开眼睛
And,open my eyes
向天边寻觅……
To seek out the horizon .…
我

是一个
Am a traveller,
从遥远的山地
Come from far-off mountain regions
从未经开垦的山地
From mountain regions yet uncultivated
到这几千万人
To this city of millions
用他们的手劳作着
Who labor with their hands
用他们的嘴呼嚷着
Who yell with the mouths
用他们的脚走着的城市来的
Who tramp over the streets of the city
旅客，
And my body
我的身上
My aching body
酸痛的身上
Is left with a persistent fatigue
深刻地留着
From conning a long distance
风雨的昨夜的
In the wind and rain last night
我终于起来了
I get up at last
我打开窗
I open the window
用囚犯第一次看见光明的眼
And with the eyes of a户~who~light for the first time
看见了黎明
I see the dawn
—这真实的黎明啊

于是我想到街上去
Then-I decide to go into the street

Good morning,
你站在十字街头
Policeman who stands at the intersection
车辆过去时
Waving your white-sleeved arm
举着白袖子的手的警察
As the traffic goes by;
早安呵
Good rooming,
你来自城外的
Grocer from the outskirts
挑着满箩绿色的菜贩
Toting baskets brimming with vegetables;
早安呵
Good rooming,
你打扫着马路的
Red-skirted street-cleaner
穿着红色背心的清道夫
Sweeping up the thoroughfares;
早安呵
Good rooming,
你提了篮子，第一个到菜场去的
Brown-skinned, young housewife
棕色皮肤的年轻的主妇
Bringing your basket , the first to arrive at the market .
我相信
I don't belive
昨夜你们决不像我一样被不停的风雨所追踪
Any of you could have spent the night As I did Pursued by ceaseless wind and rain,
被无}卜的恶梦所纠缠
Entangled in an endless nightmare:
你们都比我睡得好啊!
You all slept better than I1

我沿着高墙
I followed the high wall
走着又走着
And walked, and walked,
我的灵魂
My soul-
不论白日和黑夜
whether night or day-
永远的唱着
Intoning over and over
一曲人类命运的悲歌
A sad song about the destiny of mankind

阴暗而低沉的天幕下的
Through the sunless fields
没有太阳的原野
Under a dark, overcast sky
到山巅上去
To the mountaintop

和那成百的烟突
With their smokestacks by the hundreds
成千的电线杆子
Their utility poles by the thousands

Forming in its network
密丛的森林里
A dense overgrown forest

It rouses our cities and villages
也从那隐蔽着无边忧郁的烟雾里
From the mist veiling our endless melancholy

我们仰起了沉重的头颅
We have lifted our heavy heads
从濡湿的地而
From the sodden ground
一致地

A wounded soldier
支撑着木制的拐杖
Propped up on wooden crutches
沿着长长的墙壁
Goes along the length of the wall
跨着宽阔的步伐
Advances with large strides
太阳照在他的脸上
The sun shines upon his face
照在他纯朴地笑着的脸上
Shines upon his honest, simple, smiling face
他一步一步地走着
He moves forward step by step
他不知道我在远处看着他
Unaware that I am watching him from a distance
当他的披着绣有红十字的灰色衣服的
As his tall figure draped in a gray uniform bearing a
高大的身体

Is more magnificent than Napoleon's bronze image
八今天
8.Today
今天
Today
奔走在太阳的路上
Rushing along the sunlit road
我不再垂着头
I no longer hang my head
把手插在裤袋里了
Hands in my pockets
嘴也不再吹那寂寞的口哨
Nor whistle that lonesome tune
不看天边的流云
I do not look at the clouds drifting on the horizon
不榜徨在人行道
Nor pace to and fro aimlessly on the pavement
今天
Today
在太阳照着的人群当中
In the midst of crowds in the sun
我决不专心寻觅
I will no longer search for
那些像我自己一样惨愁的脸孔了
Those with faces as downtrodden as mine

Today
太阳吻着我昨夜流过泪的脸颊
The sun caresses my cheek on which tears flowed last night
吻着我被人世间的丑恶厌倦了的眼睛
Caresses my eyes weary of gazing at the world'shame
吻着我为正义喊哑了声音的嘴唇
Caresses my lips whose voice is hoarse from crying for
吻着我这未老先衰的
Caresses my still young but already aging
啊!快要询楼了的背脊
Ah almost bowed arthritic back

“向我来
"Come to me
从今天
From now on
你应该快乐些啊……”
You should be a little happier.…
九我向太阳

我奔驰
I rush forth
依旧乘着热情的轮子
On the wheels of old passion as before
太阳在我的头上
The sun above me
用不能再比这更强烈的光芒
Shines with a radiance more powerful than any other
燃灼着我的肉体
Scorches the flesh on my body
由于它的热力的鼓舞
With its fervent inspiration
我用嘶哑的声音
In a voice that's hoarse
歌唱了:
I sing:
“于是，我的心胸
“And so , my breast
被火焰之手撕开
Is ripped open at the hands of fire
陈腐的灵魂
My putrid soul
搁弃在河畔……”
Is cast off by the river.…”
这时候
At this moment
我对我所看见所听见
Towards what I see what I hear
感到了从未有过的宽怀与热爱
I feel a generosity and a passion I've never felt before
我甚至想在这光明的际会中死去……
I would even die in this glorious moment.…

艾青诗集《太阳》赏析：
这是一首抒情诗，诗人以拟人的手法，赋予太阳人的语言与思想，展示了太阳渴望走进小屋，打开人们关闭的心灵，让人们享受亮光、温暖、花束、香气和露水，召唤人们敞开心扉迎接光明，促使人们树立起积极乐观的信念。让人有更多的遐想空间。太阳的话》这首诗写于1942年1月14日，是艾青到延安以后写的一首诗，富有浪漫气息，是诗人的一首代言诗。艾青的一生是追求光明的一生，他的一些优秀的诗篇不是写太阳就是写火把或黎明。从我国的诗歌史来看，我国古代诗人更钟情歌咏月亮，歌咏它的柔和而明媚，纯洁而恬静。我们要感激艾青，他填补了诗歌创作的空白，他为我们歌咏了太阳的美、太阳的善和太阳的真，让我们认识到了太阳的重要。诗人写太阳是一种象征，一种代言，他代言的是民主政治，是能够给人类带来解放的民主政体。当年共产党领导下的民主政府为人民谋幸福，所以诗人用太阳来比喻它，来代言共产党领导下的民主政府的亲民思想。这首诗从表面看，难以理解的词句并不多，但含义深刻，不易读懂。教学中不要要求过高，学生只要能熟读，读出节奏和韵味，知道作者借太阳，象征光明、进步，表达了作者对进步、民主的新生活的向往就可以了。
