郭沫若·《白发》英译

许久储蓄在心里的诗料，今晨在理发店里又浮上了心来了。——<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

你年青的，年青的，远隔河山的姑娘哟，你的名姓我不曾知道，你恕我只能这样叫你了。

那回是春天的晚上吧?你替我剪了发，替我刮了面，替我盟洗了，又替我涂了香膏。

你最后替我分头的时候，我在镜中看见你替我拔去了一根白发。

啊，你年青的，年青的远隔河山的姑娘哟，漂泊者自从那回离开你后又漂泊了三年，但是你的慧心替我把青春留住了。

The White Hair

Guo Moruo

My long pent-up poetic emotion emerged again this morning at a hairdresser’s.

O young lady, you young lady of the distant land! Excuse me for addressing you as “young Lady”, for your name is still unknown to me.

It was probably on a spring evening. You cut my hair, shaved my face, gave me a shampoo and applied some vanishing cream.

Finally, in the mirror I saw you plucking out a white hair from my head while parting my hair.

O young lady, you young lady of the distant land, I have been leading a wandering life for another three years since I saw you last, but it is your feeling heart that has been the cause of my sustained youth.
