William Wordsworth - Foresight 汉译

That is work of waste and ruin-- <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

Do as Charles and I are doing!

Strawberry-blossoms, one and all,

We must spare them--here are many:

Look at it--the flower is small,

Small and low, though fair as any:

Do not touch it! summers two

I am older, Anne, than you.

 

Pull the primrose, sister Anne!

Pull as many as you can.

--Here are daisies, take your fill;

Pansies, and the cuckoo-flower:

Of the lofty daffodil

Make your bed, or make your bower;

Fill your lap, and fill your bosom;

Only spare the strawberry-blossom!

 

Primroses, the Spring may love them--

Summer knows but little of them:

Violets, a barren kind,

Withered on the ground must lie;

Daisies leave no fruit behind

When the pretty flowerets die;

Pluck them, and another year

As many will be blowing here.

 

God has given a kindlier power

To the favoured strawberry-flower.

Hither soon as spring is fled

You and Charles and I will walk;

Lurking berries, ripe and red,

Then will hang on every stalk,

Each within its leafy bower;

And for that promise spare the flower!

 

远见

 

那样做简直是破坏，是糟蹋——

来学学我和查理的做法！

瞧这儿开了这么多草莓花，

  可是这种花我们不能采；

它们挺美的，比谁也不差，

  可是你瞧——花儿小，枝子矮；

别动手，别碰它，安妮妹妹！

听我的，我好歹比你大两岁。

 

安妮妹妹呵！快来采樱草，

采得了多少你就采多少。

这儿有雏菊，由你尽量采；

  还有三色堇，还有剪秋罗；

高高的水仙花，你也采些来

  装扮你床铺，装扮你住所；

盛满你衣兜，插满你前襟；

只有草莓花，手下要留情！

 

樱草的好日子是在春天，

一到夏天它们就少见；

紫罗兰只开花不结果实，

  到时候就枯了，倒在尘埃；

小小雏菊花模样标致，

  谢了，也没有果子留下来；

这些话你采吧，到了明年

它们照样开，一开一大片。

 

草莓够交情，有果子让人吃，

这是上帝给它的本事。

过不了多久，春天就溜啦，

  你我和查理再到这儿来；

那时候，莓子都红啦，熟啦，

  挂在枝子上，有叶子遮盖；

为了那一天吃个痛快，

草莓花儿呵你可不能采！
