做个文艺青年！十首迷你英文短诗
Suicide note 遗书LangstonHughes
The calm,
Cool face of the river,
Asked me for a kiss
平静的，
淡漠的河面，
向我索一个吻
There is a Lady Sweet and Kind 有一位姑娘美丽又温柔
Thomas Ford
There is a lady sweet and kind,
Was never a face so pleased my mind;
I did but see her passing by,
And yet,
I'll love her till I die.
有一位姑娘甜美又温柔;
从未有一张脸让我如此心荡神摇;
我只看见她经过;
就会爱她到永远。
As I Watch’d the Ploughman Ploughing 当我看到农夫在田里耕作
Walt Whitman
As I watch' d the ploughman ploughing，
Or the sower sowing in the fields，
or the harvester harvesting，
I saw there too，O life and death，your analogies;
(Life,life is the tillage, and Death is the harvest according.)
当我看到农夫在田里耕作，
或看到播种者辛劳在田间，
或是收获者收获时，
我在那儿也看到，生与死啊，与这一切多么相似;
(生，生是耕作;而死亡则是相应的收获。)
In delay there lies no plenty 时日无多
William Shakespeare
In delay there lies no plenty,
Then come kiss me,
sweet and twenty,
Youth's a stuff that will not endure.
迁延蹉跎,来日无多;
二十丽姝,请来吻我;
衰草枯杨,青春易过。
I Started Looking for You 我开始找寻你
Rumi
The minute I heard my first love story
I started looking for you, not knowing
How blind that was.
Lovers don’t finally meet somewhere,
They’re in each other all along
自从我听到我的初恋故事那一刻起，
我开始找寻你，这有多盲目
我从前一无所知。
爱人们并不是最终在某处相见，
他们始终与彼此为伴。
The Moods 心境
William Butler Yeats
Time drops indecay,
Like a candle burnt out,
And the mountains and woods
Have their day, have their day;
What one in the rout
Of the fire-born moods,
Has fallen away?
光阴渐逝于腐朽，
如蜡烛燃尽成灰，
群山与树林
正苍翠峥嵘，峥嵘苍翠;
拥有涅槃心境之人谁已消退?
Reasons Why 原因
Langston Hughes
Just because I loves you—
That’s de reason why
Ma soul is full of color
Like de wings of a butterfly.
Just because I loves you
That’s de reason why
Ma heart’s a fluttering aspen leaf
When you passby
正因为我爱你——
就是这个原因当你走过时，
我的心像白杨叶一样颤震。
正因为我爱你——
就是这个原因
我的灵魂像蝴蝶翅膀一样五彩缤纷。
Quiet Girl 安静的女孩
Langston Hughes
I would liken you
To a night without stars
Were it not for your eyes.
I would liken you
To a sleep without dreams
Were it not for your songs.
倘若不是因为你的双眼，
我会把你比作没有星辰的夜晚;
倘若不是因为你的歌声，
我会把你比作无梦的睡眠。
Passing Love 短暂的爱
Langston Hughes
Because you are to me a song
I must not sing you over-long.
Because you are to me a prayer
I cannot say you everywhere.
Because you are to me a rose—
You will not stay when summer goes.
因为你是一首歌，
我不能一直把你唱着;
因为你是一次祷告，
我不能随处把你念着;
因为你是一朵玫瑰——
夏天离开，你也不会停留。
If I Can Stop One Heart from Breaking 如果我能使一颗心免于破碎
Emily Dickinson
If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,
or cool one pain,
or help one fainting robin
unto his nest again
I shall not live in vain.
如果我能使一颗心免于破碎，
我将不会虚度此生。
如果我能减轻一个人的痛苦，
或平息一个人的悲伤，
或帮助一只昏迷的知更鸟
回到它的巢居
我将不会虚度此生。
