林徽因·《六点钟在下午》英译

用甚么来点缀<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

六点钟在下午？

六点钟在下午

点缀在你生命中，

仅有仿佛的灯光，

褪败的夕阳，窗外

一张落叶在旋转！

 

用什么来陪伴

六点钟在下午？

六点钟在下午

陪伴着你在暮色里闲坐，

等光走了，影子变换，

一支烟，为小雨点

继续着，无所盼望！

 

Six O’clock in the Afternoon

Lin Huiyin

 

What is the decoration of

Six o’clock in the afternoon?

Six o’clock in the afternoon

Is the decoration of your life,

As if there is only a lamplight,

A declining sunset, a fallen leaf

Swinging outside the window!

 

What is the companion of

Six o’clock in the afternoon?

Six o’clock in the afternoon

Is your companion to sit at dusk,

With lights gone, shadows changing,

A cigarette, for a drop of rain,

Keeps burning, without any expectation!
