思忆[克里斯蒂娜·罗塞蒂]
REMEMBER me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go, yet turning stay.
请记住我,当我离去时
我去到那遥远的静谧之地
那时你再不能牵住我的手
而我也再不能欲走还留
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
请记住我,当日复一日
你再也不能向我诉说未来的愿望
只要你还记住我, 你明白的
到那时再相劝或祈祷已然迟矣
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.
如果你暂时将我遗忘
而后又忆起,请不要忧伤
因为那黑暗和腐朽之乡,倘若能留下
些许我过去的思想
我宁愿你能将我微笑地忘记
也远远胜似把我悲伤地记起
