Suicide note 遺書

LangstonHughes

The calm,

Cool face of the river,

Asked me for a kiss

平靜的，

淡漠的河面，

向我索一個吻

There is a Lady Sweet and Kind 有一位姑娘美麗又溫柔

Thomas Ford

There is a lady sweet and kind,

Was never a face so pleased my mind;

I did but see her passing by,

And yet,

I’ll love her till I die.

有一位姑娘甜美又溫柔;

從未有一張臉讓我如此心蕩神搖;

我只看見她經(jīng)過;

就會愛她到永遠。

As I Watch’d the Ploughman Ploughing 當我看到農(nóng)夫在田里耕作

Walt Whitman

As I watch’ d the ploughman ploughing，

Or the sower sowing in the fields，

or the harvester harvesting，

I saw there too，O life and death，your analogies;

(Life,life is the tillage, and Death is the harvest according.)

當我看到農(nóng)夫在田里耕作，

或看到播種者辛勞在田間，

或是收獲者收獲時，

我在那兒也看到，生與死啊，與這一切多么相似;

(生，生是耕作;而死亡則是相應的收獲。)

In delay there lies no plenty 時日無多

William Shakespeare

In delay there lies no plenty,

Then come kiss me,

sweet and twenty,

Youth’s a stuff that will not endure.

遷延蹉跎,來日無多;

二十麗姝,請來吻我;

衰草枯楊,青春易過。
