如果你要在秋天才來 (英詩中譯）

如果你要在秋天來

文/ Emily Dickinson
譯/Yimusanfendi

如果你要在秋天才來，
我將用刷子把夏天刷拂
帶著一半的笑和一半的拒絕
就像主婦們將一隻蒼蠅撣去。

如果要有一年我才能見到你,
我要把月份團成一個個的球，
並把它們放進那分隔的抽屜，
直到它們的時間流走。

要是推延幾個世紀
我要在我的手上給它們計數，
一直相減，直到我的手指
掉進範迪門的地土

如果確定，當這生命結束，
你我的生命才相逢，
我要把它像果皮遠遠地拋丟，
然後品嚐永恒。

但現在，時間的翅膀飄忽不定
其長短我一無所知，

這刺中我，就像那小妖蜂--

它不會聲稱--- 它的蜇刺

 

If you were coming in the fall
By Emily Dickinson

If you were coming in the Fall,

I'd brush the Summer by

With half a smile, and half a spurn,

As Housewives do, a Fly.

 

If I could see you in a year,

I'd wind the months in balls---

And put them each in separate

Drawers, Until their time befalls.

 

If only Centuries, delayed,

I'd count them on my Hand,

Subtracting, til my fingers dropped

Into Van Dieman's Land.

 

If certain, when this life was out---

That yours and mine, should be

I'd toss it yonder, like a Rind,

And take Eternity---

 

But now, ignorant of the length
Of time’s uncertain wing,

It goads me, like the Goblin Bee---

That will not state--- its sting

• 欣賞！Van Dieman最好加個注釋。語言中式再琢磨些……比如：I d wind the months in balls .. -Willie_USA- ♂ (0 bytes) () 06/14/2017 postreply 05:55:16
