               恒河边上的印度诗人
                              王京征
              几个世纪以前，
              两位印度诗人在恒河边上遇见了，
              他们都很高兴见到彼此。

                    一位诗人向另一位询问道：“
              你最近作了什么诗呢？
              你的抒情诗写得怎么样了？”
              另一位诗人骄傲地说：“
              我刚刚完成了我的作品中最伟大的诗篇，
              这最伟大的诗篇还是用官方语言－－英语写成的呢！
              诗歌的大意是对至高无上的印度国王的祈愿！
              没准儿这首诗歌会像恒河一样源远流长呢！”
              然后他从怀里掏出一张羊皮纸说：“
              这儿，瞧！我带着它呢，
              我很乐意读给你听听，
              过来，让我们坐在恒河边上……”

              这个诗人大声地朗诵完了他的诗作，那是一首长诗。
              另一位诗人和善地说：“
              这诗真是太好了！
              他将受到国王的赞誉！
              有它，你一定会平步青云的！
              当然，你创作的初衷是出于对国王的无限忠诚，
              也是出于对祖国的无限热爱！”

              这个诗人自满而镇定地说：“
              这个当然啦！那么，这些天你在写什么呢？”
              另一个回答道：“我几乎没有写，
              只是用印度梵文写了寥寥八行，
              来纪念恒河边上的纤夫。”
              然后他吟诵了这八句。
              先前的那位诗人说：“不错！不错！”
              然后他们就分道扬镳了。

              两个世纪后的今天，
              那一个诗人的八行诗脍炙人口、家喻户晓，
              而且深受老百姓的喜爱；
              另一个诗人的诗篇确实也和时间一起流传下来了，
              存于皇家历史博物馆的书籍里，
              有时也会引用在歌功颂德的当代文本中。
              尽管人们也记得这首诗，
              但是它既不受喜欢也不被人吟诵……
             

              理由很简单－－
              因为人们觉得恒河边上的纤夫更加贴切自己的生活，
              而印度梵文是印度人的母语谱写在恒河边上永恒的赞歌！

      The India poet on the bank of Ganges River
                     Wang Jingzheng
    Many centuries ago,
    On the bank of Ganges River，
    Two India poets met,
    And they were glad to see one another.

    And one poet asked the other saying,＂
    What have you composed recently,
    And how goes it with your lyric poem?”
    And the other poet answered and said with pride,＂
    I have just now finished the greatest of my poems,
    And the greatest poem yet written in English
    That is the official language!
    The general idea of this poem is an invocation
    To most lofty King of India!
    Perchance this poem would distant source
    And long stream just as Ganges River!
    －－of long standing and well established.＂
    Here, behold, I have it with me,
    And I would be willing to read it to you,
    Come , let us sit on the bank of Ganges River…”

    And the poet read his poem, and it was a long poem.
    And the other poet said in kindliness:＂
    This is a great poem. It will be praised by King!
    And in it you shall be had a meteoric rise!
    Of course, your original intention of creation
    Is the limitless loyal to King,
    As well the ardently love to your motherland!＂

    And the first poet said with self﹣satisfied calmly:＂
    It is certainly! And what have you been writing these late days?
    And the other another,＂I have written but little.
    Only very few eight lines in Sanskrit of Hindi
    That in remembrance of boat tracker on the bank of Ganges River.
    And he recited the lines.
    The first poet said,＂Not so bad, not so bad!＂
    Then they parted.

    And now after two centuries,
    The eight lines of the one poet are read in every tongue,
    And known to every household,
    And are loved and cherished by civilians.
    And though the other poem has indeed come down
    Through the ages in the history museum of imperial family,
    And in the version of present age that is used to
    Sing the praises of statesman mostly.
    And though it is remembered,
    It is neither loved nor read…

    The reason is very easy－－
    For people considered that
    The boat tracker is more press close to themselves life;
    And the Sanskrit of Hindi is an eternal song of praise
    That is composed on the bank of  Ganges River
    By the mother tongue of Indian!
