Robert Frost    短诗三首


一个问题
罗伯特 · 弗罗斯特

一个声音说，看我在众星辰
并真实告诉我，大地上的人，
是否所有灵与肉的创伤疤痕
仍不够用来偿付诞生。

1、A Question
Robert Frost

A voice said, Look me in the stars
And tell me truly, men of earth,
If all the soul-and-body scars
Were not too much to pay for birth.


一只小鸟
罗伯特 · 弗罗斯特

我祈愿一只小鸟会飞走，
不是整天在我房边啾啾；

门口朝他拍了拍手的时候
我似乎不能再忍受。

于我一定有部分的错责。
不该怪怨小鸟吟唱的音调。

当然一定有什么不对劲
对于想要压灭任何歌声。

2、A Minor Bird
Robert Frost

I have wished a bird would fly away,
And not sing by my house all day;

Have clapped my hands at him from the door
When it seemed as if I could bear no more.

The fault must partly have been in me.
The bird was not to blame for his key.


And of course there must be something wrong
In wanting to silence any song.


火与冰
罗伯特 · 弗罗斯特

有人说世界将于火中终结，
有人说在冰中。
出于我有关欲望的品味
我支持赞成结束于火的人。
但如果世界不得不有两次毁灭，
我觉得我对仇恨有足够的了解
就是说毁于冰
也挺炫
并且力量够行。

3、Fire And Ice
Robert Frost

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.
