Valentine

Valentine

    by Carol Ann Duffy

Not a red rose or a satin heart.
不是玫瑰，也不是柔软的内心。

I give you an onion.我选择给你一只洋葱
It is a moon wrapped in brown paper好像被 牛皮纸（褐色的纸张）层层包住的月亮 It promises light 我想月光起誓
like the careful undressing of love.如同需要细心呵护的纯爱

Here. 至此
It will blind you with tears 任凭泪水失明你的双眼
like a lover.就像恋人
It will make your reflection让你有所触动的
a wobbling photo of grief.永远只是让人黯然神伤的揪心照片

I am trying to be truthful.
我试图去做一个真实的人

Not a cute card or a kissogram.
他不可爱，也不是什么爱情亲吻海报

I give you an onion. 我选择给你一只洋葱
Its fierce kiss will stay on your lips, 那辛辣一吻将始终附你双唇，让人回味
possessive and faithful
as we are,我们彼此拥用，彼此信赖

for as long as we are.那是因为只要有我有你

Take it.带上它
Its platinum loops shrink to a wedding-ring,白金圈环缩套成你的婚戒
if you like. 如果你喜欢的话
Lethal.至死
Its scent will cling to your fingers,他的魔力将萦绕在你的指尖

cling to your knife. 萦绕在你的被割破伤口。
