Ephemera
|
|
蜉蝣
|
| ‘Your eyes that once were never weary of mine |
|
“你那從未厭倦過我的眼睛 |
| Are bowed in sorrow under pendulous lids, |
|
憂傷地藏進(jìn)低垂的眼瞼了， |
| Because our love is waning.' |
|
因為愛已褪色。” |
| And then she： |
|
然后，她說： |
| ‘Although our love is waning, let us stand |
|
“盡管愛已褪色，就讓我們 |
| By the lone border of the lake once more, |
|
再站在曾經(jīng)的湖畔， |
| Together in that hour of gentleness |
|
分享溫柔的時光， |
| When the poor tired child, Passion, falls asleep： |
|
當(dāng)激情——那疲倦的孩子——入眠： |
| How far away the stars seem, and how far |
|
星星看起來真遠(yuǎn)，遠(yuǎn)得 |
| Is our first kiss, and ah, how old my heart!' |
|
像我們的初吻。我的老去的心啊！” |
| Pensive they paced along the faded leaves, |
|
在積滿落葉的路上，他們沉默地走著， |
| While slowly he whose hand held hers replied： |
|
他牽住她的手，慢慢作答： |
| ‘Passion has often worn our wandering hearts.' |
|
“激情常常消損了我們漂泊的心。” |
| The woods were round them, and the yellow leaves |
|
走在林間，紛紛的黃葉 |
| Fell like faint meteors in the gloom, and once |
|
如流星暗然墜落，有次 |
| A rabbit old and lame limped down the path; |
|
一只老兔子瘸著腿跳過小徑； |
| Autumn was over him：and now they stood |
|
秋意籠在頭頂，他們站住了， |
| On the lone border of the lake once more： |
|
在曾經(jīng)的湖畔： |
| Turning, he saw that she had thrust dead leaves |
|
他轉(zhuǎn)過身，見她無語間把落葉拾起， |
| Gathered in silence, dewy as her eyes, |
|
放入懷中、發(fā)髻， |
| In bosom and hair. |
|
落葉濕如她的眼睛。 |
| ‘Ah, do not mourn,'he said, |
|
“別難過了，”他說， |
| ‘That we are tired, for other loves await us; |
|
“我們倦了，卻還有別樣的愛等著我們， |
| Hate on and love through unrepining hours. |
|
去恨，去愛，沒什么抱怨。 |
| Before us lies eternity;our souls |
|
我們向著永恒，我們的心 |
| Are love, and a continual farewell.' |
|
就是愛，是一場無盡的道別。” |
