Francesco Petrarca - Signs of Love 汉译

If amorous faith, a heart of guileless ways,

Soft languors, courteously controlled desire,

And virtuous will, kindled with noble fire,

And lengthened wanderings in a lightless maze;

If thoughts, which evermore the brow displays,

Or words that faint and brokenly suspire,

Still checked with fear and shame; if hues no higher

Than the pale violet hath, or love displays;

If holding some one than one’s self more dear,

If sorrowing and sighing evermore,

If chewing grief, and rage, and many a cross,

If burning far away, and freezing near,

Are signs that love consumes me to the core,

Yours, lady, is the fault and mine the loss.

爱的迹象

费朗切斯科·彼得拉克

假如爱的迹象是深情的信念，纯真的心灵，

柔和而又恬静，礼貌地控制着的欲念，

在高贵的火焰里燃烧的美好的意愿，

还有在黑暗的道路上漫长的旅行；

假如爱的迹象是眉头上显露的思绪，

或是由于受到恐惧和羞涩的羁绊，

使话语变成了凌乱而又微弱的感叹，

是爱情显现出的紫罗兰一样的淡意；

假如爱的迹象是关心他人胜过自我，

是无穷无尽的悲伤和叹息，

是咀嚼着痛苦、愤怒和悲哀；

假如爱的迹象是在远处燃烧，在近处冻结，

那么我的身心已经被爱情销蚀，

姑娘啊，这就是你的过错和我的失败。
