Thomas Stearns Eliot - Morning at the Window 汉译

They are rattling breakfast plates in basement kitchens
And along the trampled edges of the street
I am aware of the damp souls of housemaids

Sprouting despondently at area gates

The brown waves of fog toss up to me
Twisted faces from the bottom of the street,
And tear from a passer-by with muddy skirts
An aimless smile that hovers in the air
And vanishes along the level of the roofs.

窗前的早晨

托马斯·史登斯·艾略特

她们在地下室厨房里弄得早餐盘子叮当响，

而沿着众人践踏的街边

我知道女仆们潮湿的心灵

正向着地下室的铁门沮丧地发芽。

棕色的雾的波浪把一张张扭曲的脸

从街底向我抛了上来，

从一个穿污泥裙子的过路人身上

撕下一个茫然的微笑在空中盘旋

然后消失于无数屋顶的平面。
