Leisure
W.H.戴维斯(1871-1940)
by W.H.Davies(1871-1940)
生活会变成什么样,假如整日充满着忧患
What is this life if, full of care,
我们没时间去驻足欣赏
We have no time to stand and stare!
没时间去站在树枝底下
No time to stand beneath the boughs,
像牛羊那样久久的凝视
And stare as long as sheep and cows.
没时间去细赏我们穿越的大森林
No time to see, when woods we pass,
那松鼠在草丛中把果实珍藏
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.
没时间去想一想 为什么
No time to see,in broad daylight,
倒影在溪流中的星星 像晴空的夜晚
Streams full of stars,like skies at night.
没时间去细想 那佳人的回眸一瞥
No time to turn at Beauty's glance,
欣赏那脚 舞姿是多么擅长
And watch her feet,how they can dance.
无暇等那佳人红唇轻启
No time to wait till her mouth can
盈盈的笑眸更加动人
Enrich that smile her eyes began.
生活可悲可厌,倘若它充满着忧患
A poor life this if, full of care,
我们没时间去驻足欣赏
We have no time to stand and stare.
