Suicide note 遺書(shū)

LangstonHughes

The calm,

Cool face of the river,

Asked me for a kiss

平靜的，

淡漠的河面，

向我索一個(gè)吻

There is a Lady Sweet and Kind 有一位姑娘美麗又溫柔

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.

有一位姑娘甜美又溫柔;

從未有一張臉讓我如此心蕩神搖;

我只看見(jiàn)她經(jīng)過(guò);

就會(huì)愛(ài)她到永遠(yuǎn)。

As I Watch’d the Ploughman Ploughing 當(dāng)我看到農(nóng)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.)

當(dāng)我看到農(nóng)夫在田里耕作，

或看到播種者辛勞在田間，

或是收獲者收獲時(shí)，

我在那兒也看到，生與死啊，與這一切多么相似;

(生，生是耕作;而死亡則是相應(yīng)的收獲。)

In delay there lies no plenty 時(shí)日無(wú)多

William Shakespeare

In delay there lies no plenty,

Then come kiss me,

sweet and twenty,

Youth’s a stuff that will not endure.

遷延蹉跎,來(lái)日無(wú)多;

二十麗姝,請(qǐng)來(lái)吻我;

衰草枯楊,青春易過(guò)。
