英语诗歌:Love's Witness 爱情的见证

  Love's Witness
          Slight unpremeditated Words are borne
          By every common Wind into the Air;
          Carelessly utter'd, die as soon as born,
          And in one instant give both Hope and Fear:
          Breathing all Contraries with the same Wind
          According to the Caprice of the Mind.
          But Billetdoux are constant Witnesses,
          Substantial Records to Eternity;
          Just Evidences,who the Truth confess,
          On which the Lover safely may rely;
          They're serious Thoughts,digested and resolv'd;
          And last,when Words are into Clouds devolv'd.
          不加思索的轻率话语,
          被每一次平凡的呼吸载入空气;
          随便说说,刚出口即消失,
          一瞬间给人希望和恐惧:
          同一气息呼出万般矛盾心肠,
          追随心灵无常的遐想。
          但情书则是恒常的见证,
          直至永恒的实体记录;
          公道的证物,它道出真诚,
          恋人能在其上安心依附;
          它们是严肃的思想,经过深思熟虑;
          当话语在云外消失,它们还将延续。
