Robert Frost - A Semi-Revolution 汉译

I advocate a semi-revolution.

The trouble with a total revolution

(Ask any reputable Rosicrucian)

Is that it brings the same class up on top.

Executives of skillful execution

Will therefore plan to go halfway and stop.

Yes, revolutions are the only salves,

But they're the one thing that should be done by halves.

半截革命

我拥护一种半截子革命，

一次彻底的，总有弊病，

（去问任何著名的炼金术士）

会把同一阶级带上峰顶。

精于实干的实干专家们，

便设计出行至中途的停顿，

革命确是救世唯一途径，

但是应该一半一半完成。
