外国经典优美诗歌：四轮马车

Because I could not stop for Death--

He kindly stopped for me--

The Carriage held but just Ourselves-

And Immortality.

因为我不能停下来等待死神

他和善地停下来等我——

那辆车只能容我们两个——

还有不朽。

We slowly drove--He knew no haste

And I had put away

My labor and my Leisure too,

For His Civility--

我们慢慢驱车——他不慌不忙

我也把我的劳与闲

统统丢掉一边，

为了他的礼让——

We passed the School, where Children strove

At Recess--in the Ring--

We passed the Fields of Gazing Grain--

We passed the Setting Sun--

我们走过校园，孩子们你推我搡，

在休息时间，在圆形广场——

我们走过在田间凝眸的麦杆——

我们走过落日旁——

Or rather--He passed Us--

The Dews drew quivering and chill--

For only Gossamer, my Gown--

My Tippet--only Tulle--

或毋宁说，他走过我们身旁

寒露降，身子冻得打颤——

因为我的长衫落纱般——

我的披肩如丝网——

We paused before a House that seemed

A Swelling of the Ground--

The Roof was scarcely visible--

he Coraice--in the Ground--

我们停步在一所房子前，

那似乎是隆起的土地一片

屋顶几乎看不见——

屋檐在地里面——

Since then--’tis Centuries--and yet

Feels shorter than the Day

I first surmised the Horses’Heads

Were toward Eternity--

离那时已是几个世纪

过了还不到一天，

我首次猜测到，马头

在朝向永恒奔窜。
