Over the fence by Emily Dickinson 翻譯 Lost in translation

Over the fence 

 

Emily Dickinson

 

Over the fence—

Strawberries—grow—

Over the fence—

I could climb—if I tried, I know—

Berries are nice!

 

But—if I stained my Apron—

God would certainly scold!

Oh, dear,—I guess if He were a Boy—

He'd—climb—if He could!

 

籬笆的另一邊

 

籬笆的另一邊—

草莓—在生長

籬笆的另一邊—

我該爬得過—假如我嚐試， 我想—

草莓有多麽馨甜！

 

然而—假如我弄髒了圍裙—

神定會叱責！

哦， 親愛的，—我猜如果是男孩—

他會—爬過—如果他能呢！

 

非常巧妙的一首詩， 因為 Australian and New Zealand informal

unreasonable, unfair, or unjust

 

不知道 Emily Dickinson 寫詩的時候是否知道 Australian and New Zealand 給 over the fence 的含義
