And now you are mine現在,你是我的
And now you are mine.
現在,你是我的
Rest with your dream in my dream.
在我的夢境中沉沉入夢
Love and pain and work should all sleep now.
愛痛與辛勞也全休眠。
The night turns on its invisible wheels,
夜色蒼茫,身旁的你
And you are pure beside me as a sleeping amber.
那麼純潔,如同靜靜的琥珀。
No one else, love, will sleep in my dreams.
再沒有人,親愛的,會在我的夢境中沉睡。
You will go, we will go together,
你會離去,我們一塊兒離去,
over the waters of time.
跨越時間的長河。
No one else will travel through the shadows with me.
再沒有人會與我並肩穿越這黑暗,
Only you, Evergreen, Ever sun, Ever moon.
只有你,是我常青的樹,不滅的太陽,不落的月亮。
Your hands have already opened their delicate fists
你舒展的柔美纖指,
And let their soft drifting sorrows drop away.
緩緩淌落了悲傷。
Your eyes close like two great wings, and I move.
你雙眸攏合如翼,我動身了。
After, following the folding water
隨後,載著你的冥流,
that you carry, that carries me away.
也將載我離去,
The night, the world, the wind spin out their destiny.
黑夜、世界和風,循入它們的命運,
Without you, I am your dream, only that, and that is all.
失去了你,我只是你的夢幻,只是這樣。

A Psalm of Life 人生禮頌
Tell me not in mournful numbers,
請別用哀傷的詩句對我講;
Life is but an empty dream!
人生呵,無非是虛夢一場!
For the soul is dead that slumbers
因為沉睡的靈魂如死一般,
And things are not what they seem.
事物的表裡並不一樣。
Life is real! Life is earnest!
人生是實在的!人生是熱烈的!
And the grave is not its goal;
人生的目標決不是墳墓;
Dust thou art , to dust returnest,
你是塵土,應歸於塵土。
Was not spoken of the soul.
此話指的並不是我們的精神。
Not enjoyment , and not sorrow,
我們的歸宿並不是快樂,
Is our destined and our way;
也不是悲傷,
But to act
實幹
That much to-morrow.
才是我們的道路,
Find us farther than to-day.
每天不斷前進,蒸蒸蒸日上。
Art is long , and time is fleeting.
光陰易逝,而藝海無涯,
And our hearts , though stout and brave.
我們的心哪——雖然勇敢堅強,
Still , like muffled drums , are beating
卻像被布矇住的銅鼓,
Funeral marches to the grave。
常把殯葬的哀樂擂響。
In the world’s broad field of battle,
在這人生的宿營地,
In the bivouac of Life,
在這遼闊的世界戰場,
Be not like dumb,driven cattle!
別做無言的牲畜任人驅趕,
Be a hero in the strife!
做一名英雄漢立馬橫槍!
Trust no future.howe’er pleasant!
別相信未來,哪怕未來多麼歡樂!
Let the dead Past bury its dead!
讓死去的往昔將死亡一切埋葬!
Act,act in the living Present!
上帝在上,我們胸懷勇氣,
Let us,then,be up and doing,
讓我們起來幹吧,
With a heart for any fate;
下定決心,不管遭遇怎樣;
Still achieving,still pursuing
不斷勝利,不斷追求,
Learn to labour and to wait.
要學會苦幹和耐心等待。
賞析
Lake of Autumn秋之湖
I remember quite clearly now when the story happened.
還清晰地記得,記得我們的故事開始的那一刻。
The autumn leaves were floating in measure down to the ground, recovering the lake, where we used to swim like children, under the sun was there to shine.
在那個金色的秋天,飛舞的落葉,片片飄零,旋轉飄落,浮向靜靜的湖面。陽光下,湖水泛著點點金光。在這裡,我們曾像個天真的孩子,快樂地嬉戲著。
That time we used to be happy. Well, I thought we were.
那是一段幸福、快樂的日子,至少,我這樣認為。
But the truth was that you had been longing to leave me; not daring to tell me. On that precious night, watching the lake, vaguely conscious, you said, “Our story is ending.”
其實,我是知道的,你一直想要離開我。只是不忍心告訴我。在那個夜晚,那個值得一生回憶的夜晚,看著靜靜的湖面,恍忽間,好像是,你對我說:“我們的故事結束吧。”
The rain was killing the last days of summer, you had been killing my last breath of love since a long time ago. I still don’t think I’m goanna make it through another love story. You took it all away from me.
秋雨,帶走了夏天的最後一絲餘熱,而你,也將我全部的愛都帶走了。沒有了,永遠也不會再有了,那刻骨銘心的愛戀。因為,你已將它從我身邊,全部地,毫無保留地帶走了。
And there I stand; I know I was going to be the one left behind.
我靜靜地站著,象個找不到歸家的路的孩子。
But still I am watching the lake, vaguely conscious, and I know my life is ending.
看著靜靜的湖面,我的視線又一次模糊了。恍忽間,我發現,我的生命已經結束了。
