Walt Whitman - Not Youth Pertains to Me 汉译

Not youth pertains to me,

Nor delicatesse, I cannot beguile the time with talk,

Awkward in the parlor, neither a dancer nor elegant,

In the learn’d coterie sitting constrain’d and still, for learning inures not to me,

Beauty, knowledge, inure not to me--yet there are two or three things inure to me,

I have nourish’d the wounded and sooth’d many a dying soldier,

And at intervals waiting or in the midst of camp,

Composed these songs.

青春不属于我

青春不属于我，

我也不典雅，不会用谈话消磨时光，

在客厅里我觉得局促不安，既不会跳舞，又并不文质彬彬，

坐在有学问的小团体里我感到拘束，又没有话说，因为我不习惯于学问，

美貌，知识，我不习惯——但是也有二三事是习惯的，

我曾给伤员送过食品，安慰过许多即将死去的士兵，

在帐篷里或在等候的间隙时，
