英语名篇名段背诵精华62 Hope Is the Thing with Feathers

（单词翻译）

Hope is the thing with feathers

Hope" is the thing with feathers—

That perches¹ in the soul—

And sings the tune² without the words—

And never stops—at all—

And sweetest — in the Gale— is heart—

And sore must be the storm—

That could abash³ the little bird—

That kept so many warm—

I've heard it in the chilliest⁴ land—

And on the strangest Sea—

Yet, never, in Extremity⁵,

It asked a crumb⁶ — of me.

------Emily Dickinson

希望是鸟儿

希望是鸟儿，

在人们心灵栖居，

唱着无词的歌儿，

永无止息。

心灵是甜蜜的避风港

只有猛烈的风暴，

才能威胁希望，

这慰藉心灵的小鸟。

它歌唱在最寒冷的地方

最陌生的海洋

纵然身处绝境，

也不索取分毫。

----爱米莉·狄更生
