Remember《記著》
Christina Rossetti (1830 - 1894)
作者：克裏斯蒂娜·羅塞蒂
Remember me when I am gone away,
>當我離去，請不要將我忘記，
Gone far away into the silent land;
>我將消失在那遙遠的無聲之地。
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
>當我們再不能天天彼此牽手, 我也就不必為去留而思來想去;
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you planned:
>當我們再不能日日憧憬未來, 也懇請不要將我從心底忘記。
Only remember me; you understand
>請你一定要記住我啊!
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
>縱然所有努力已為時已晚，
Yet if you should forget me for a while
> 縱然你也會將我偶爾忘記，
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
>請不要難為你自己，
For if the darkness and corruption leave
>或許在黑暗與腐朽之中，
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
>還殘留著我眷戀的蛛絲馬跡。
Better by far you should forget and smile
>好了，你現在可以微笑著忘記我了，
Than that you should remember and be sad
>又何必苦苦地執著對過往的追憶。
