Why did I dream of you last night?

Why did I dream of you last night?
Now morning is pushing back hair with grey light
Memories strike home, like slaps in the face;
Raised on elbow, I stare at the pale fog
beyond the window.

So many things I had thought forgotten
Return to my mind with stranger pain:
--Like letters that arrive addressed to someone
Who left the house so many years ago.


昨夜为何又梦见你？
作者：菲利普·拉金


昨夜为何又梦见你？
此刻灰蒙蒙的晨光扫过我的头发
回忆击打着心房，像巴掌扇在脸上；
托着腮，我凝望窗外
那白茫茫的雾。

多少往事，我以为早已忘记，
又带着更为陌生的痛楚回到脑海：
——像写给某人的信件
而那人多年前已经离开。
（卞兆康译）

Memories strike home, like slaps in the face
