雙語美文:愛神

雙語美文:愛神

  Love bade me welcome; yet my soul drew back,Guilty of dust and sin.

  But quick-eyed Love,observing me grow slack

  From my first entrance in,

  Drew nearer to me,sweetly questioning

  If I lacked anything.

  愛神歡迎我的到來,

  而我的靈魂卻在退縮,

  蒙著浮世的灰塵與負罪的愧疚。

  從我進門的那刻,

  我那無精打采的神情,逃不過愛神雪亮的眼睛。

  她輕輕靠近,綿言細問,

  感覺有何欠缺。

  “A guest,” I answered, “worthy to be here.”

  Love said, “You shall be he.”

  “I, the unkind, ungrateful? Ah,my dear,

  I cannot look on Thee.”

  Love took my hand and smiling did reply,

  “Who made the eyes but I?”“一位客人,” 我說,“配得上當你的賓客的人。 ”

  愛神說:“你將會是那位賓客。”

  “我,如此冷酷無情、忘恩負義的.人?啊,親愛的,

  我無法直視你。”

  愛神拉起我的手,嫣然回應:

  “無我何來明眸?”

  “Truth, Lord; but I have marred them” let my shame

  Go where it doth deserve.”

  “And know you not,” says Love, “Who bore the blame?”

  “My dear, then I will serve.”

  “You must sit down, ” says Love, “and taste my meat.”

  So I did sit and eat.“上帝啊,老天爺,但我毀損了其完美;讓我心中羞愧

  得到其應有的懲罰吧。”

  “我知道這不是你的錯,”愛神說,“誰該揹負這種罪名呢?”

  “親愛的,既然如此,我願為你效勞。”

  “你定當就坐,”愛神說,“細品我的生命。”

  於是我坐下,品嚐這愛的宴席。
