Looking at the stars, I know quit well
That, for all they care, I can go to hell,
But on earth indifference is the least
We have to dread from man or beast.
How shall we like it were stars to burn
With a passion for us we could not return?
If equal affection cannot be,
Let the more loving one be me.
Admirer as I think I am
Of stars that do not give a damn,
I cannot, now I see them, say
I missed one terribly all day.
Were all stars to disappear or die
I should learn to look at an empty sky
And feel its total dark sublime
Though this might take me a little time.
【参考译文】
抬头仰望点点繁星，我心明如镜，
尽管它们关怀备至，我却可能走向地狱，
这世间我们最不必畏惧的，
是人类或禽兽的冷漠。
倘若繁星为我们燃烧的
是我们无以为报的激情，我们作何感想？
倘若无法产生同样的感情，
就让我成为更有爱心的人。
尽管我认为自己心怀仰慕，
但群星却不为所动。
现在我仰望群星，却难以启齿
说我整日疯狂思念其中一颗星
倘若所有的星星消失或者陨落，
我应该学会仰望空无的夜空，
感受那全然黑暗的庄严，
尽管这可能需要一点时间。| 欢迎光临 Free考研资料 (http://tool.freekaoyan.com/) | Powered by Discuz! X3.2 |
