William Wordsworth - Good and Clever 汉译

If all the good people were clever,<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

And all clever people were good,

The world would be nicer than ever

We thought it possibley could.

But somehow, ’tis seldom or never

The two hit it off as they should;

The good are so hard to the clever.

The clever so rude to the good.

善良与精明

威廉·华兹华斯

假如所有的善良人都精明，

所有的精明人都善良，

这世界就会比我们

想像的可能更美满。

然而不知为什么，这两种人

很少或从未相处得好；

善良人对精明人很严厉无情，

精明人对善良人很无礼粗暴。
