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。
