Afternoon on a hill
by Edna St. Vincent Millay
I will be the gladdest thing
Under the sun!
I will touch a hundred flowers
And not pick one.
I will look at cliffs and clouds
With quiet eyes,
Watch the wind bow down the grass,
And the grass rise.
And when lights begin to show
Up from the town,
I will mark which must be mine,
And then start down!
山中午后
译 /怜子
沐浴在阳光中的我
是世间最惬意的存在
我会抚触一百朵鲜花
但却一朵不采
我眼神笃定
静望着连绵崖岸和片片云彩
注视风起后，丛草弯腰，
风过起身
当城镇开始华灯初上
我会标记出属于我的那盏灯火
而后动身下行

city trees
by Edna St. Vincent Millay
The trees along this city street,
Save for the traffic and the trains,
Would make a sound as thin and sweet
As trees in country lanes.
And people standing in their shade
Out of a shower, undoubtedly
Would hear such music as is made
Upon a country tree.
Oh, little leaves that are so dumb
Against the shrieking city air,
I watch you when the wind has come,—
I know what sound is there.
城市的绿树
译 /怜子
除却火车的轰隆和交通的熙攘
城市街道两边的绿树
会如乡间小路上的树木
发出细微而甜美的声响
人们站在树荫下，和出浴相仿
显然，他们能倾听到的音乐
和从一棵乡村树的树梢上传来的一模一样
哦，面对城市的尖声利嗓
小叶子闷头不语
但当风来临时，我看着你
我知道有什么样的声音在内心藏
