Dusk(下)(8.9)
编者按:
每一个时刻所能捕捉的东西是有限的
甚至每一段记忆所能缅怀的一切也是有限的
黄昏
And the colours in the sky try to entertain us.
one last act with painted smiles,
for they too know that nothing can be done to save the day.
So futile their attempt to comfort our fear of the night.
our horror as we try to find our way,
like children who wander into a forest and never return.
I am ingratiated by the sunset because of
her sensitivity as she tries to push the darkness
back for just a moment more.
But like so many times before....to no avail!
而天空中的绮丽色彩努力让我们快乐起来,
最后上演的是五彩缤纷的微笑,
因为它们也知晓,做什么都无法留住时日,
它们想安慰我们对夜的恐惧,而又如此徒劳无益,
虽然恐惧,我们依然寻找出路,
宛若在林中的孩心,彷徨不知归路,
我满心欢喜,只因夕阳的敏感,
她竭力将黑暗推回,仅仅为了再多驻留一刻,
可却犹如以往,一切都无济于事....
2.painted ['peintid] adj. 色彩亮丽的,华丽的
3.futile ['fju:tail] adj. 无效的, 无用的
As a whole our efforts did not prove to be futile.
