昔我往矣,
杨柳依依。

Willows shed tear.
I come back now,
Snow bends the bough.
Long, long the way,
Hard, hard the day,
My grief overflows.
Who knows? Who knows?

叶芝的《当你老了》

When you are old and grey and full of sleep, 
And nodding by the fire, take down this book, 
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look 
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep; 
How many loved your moments of glad grace, 
And loved your beauty with love false or true, 
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you, 
And loved the sorrows of your changing face; 
And bending down beside the glowing bars, 
Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled 
And paced upon the mountains overhead 
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.

冰心的译版:

当你老了,头发花白,睡意沉沉 
倦坐在炉边,取下这本书来 
慢慢读着,追梦当年的眼神 
那柔美的神采与深幽的晕影 
多少人爱过你青春的片影 
爱过你的美貌,以虚伪或是真情 
惟独一人爱你那朝圣者的心 
爱你哀戚的脸上岁月的留痕 
在炉栅边,你弯下了腰 
低语着,带着浅浅的伤感 
爱情是怎样逝去,又怎样步上群山 
怎样在繁星之间藏住了脸 

12

Some of us get dipped in flat, some in satin, some in gloss. 

But every once in a while you find someone who s iridescent, 

and when you do, nothing will ever compare

有人住高楼,有人在深沟,
有人光万丈,有人一身锈。
世人万千种,浮云莫去求,
斯人若彩虹,遇上方知有。

韩寒翻译电影《怦然心动》的台词片段

13

Here lies one whose name was written in water.

“此地长眠者,声名水上书”

——约翰·济慈的墓志铭

14

And a fish

In the deep
And a man
In the mind

(James Stephen)

水中有鱼心中有君鱼难离水君是我心

(郭沫若译)

15

If I should meet thee, after long years.


How should I greet thee, with silence and tears.

多年惜别后,抑或再相逢。

相逢何所语?泪流默无声。
