第9天

The Lost Mistress

失去的恋人

Robert Browning

罗伯特•勃朗宁

All’s over, then: does truth sound bitter

那么，一切都过去了。

As one at first believes?

难道实情的滋味

Hark, ’tis the sparrows’ good-night twitter

真有预想的那么难咽?

About your cottage eaves!

听，麻雀在你家村居的屋檐周围

And the leaf-buds on the vine are woolly,

唧唧喳喳地道着晚安。

I noticed that, today;

今天我发现葡萄藤上的芽苞

One day more bursts them open fully –

毛茸茸地，鼓了起来;再一天时光就会把嫩叶催开，

You know the red turns grey.

瞧; 暗红正浙渐转为灰白。

Tomorrow we meet the same then, dearest?

最亲爱的。明天我们能否照样相遇?

May I take your hand in mine?

我能否仍旧握住你的手?

Mere friends are we, – well, friends the merest

“仅仅是朋友，”好吧，我失去的许多东西，

Keep much that I resign:

最一般的朋友倒还能保留：

For each glance of the eye so bright and black,

你乌黑澄澈的眼睛每一次闪烁

Though I keep with heart’s endeavor, –

我都永远铭刻在心;

Your voice, when you wish the snowdrops back, Though it stay in my soul for ever! –

我心底也永远保留着你说 “愿白雪花回来”的声音!

Yet I will but say what mere friends say,

但是，我将只说一般朋友的语言，

Or only a thought stronger;

或许再稍微强烈一丝;

I will hold your hand but as long as all may,

我握你的手，将只握礼节允许的时间

Or so very little longer!

或许再稍微长一霎时! 追求者并没有因拒绝而却步。
