英语诗歌精选 当你年老时

（单词翻译）

When You Are Old

当你年老时

William Butler Yeats

叶芝

When you are old and grey and full of sleep,

当你年老鬓白，昏沉欲睡，

And nodding by the fire, take down this book,

坐在炉边打盹，取下这本诗集，

And slowly read, and dream of the soft look,

缓缓读起，梦忆你过去可人的双眸，

Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;

那脉脉秋水，她们曾经是多么的深情和曼美；

How many loved your moments of glad grace,

多少人曾爱过和你美好时光的愉悦，

And loved your beauty with love false or true,

多少人又曾或真或假倾慕你的容颜，

But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,

但唯有一个人爱你圣洁高雅的心灵，

And loved the sorrows of your changing face;

爱你那铅华洗尽，年老色衰的憔悴；

And bending down beside the glowing bars,

你在炽红壁炉前低头沉吟，

Murmur¹, a little sadly, how love fled,

喃喃细语，默念曾经消逝的爱情，

And paced upon the mountains overhead,

而它们却早已步入连绵峰谷山峦，

And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.

如同爱你的他，将脸庞藏于那漫天繁星。
