爱复爱(英音)

Love After Love

by Derek Walcott

请跟英语兔我一起读:

The time will come

这样的时刻将会来临:

When, with elation you will greet yourself arriving at your own door,

你得意洋洋地 站在自家门口,

In your own mirror and each will smile at the other's welcome,

照着镜子,迎接自我的到来 以微笑欢迎彼此,

And say, sit here. Eat. You will love again the stranger who was your self.

并说道, 坐这儿. 吃吧. 你将会再次爱上这个陌生人—从前的自己.

Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart to itself, to the stranger who has loved you all your life,

斟满美酒, 递上面包, 把心交还其身, 给那一辈子爱着你的陌生人.

Whom you ignored for another, who knows you by heart.

你曾因为他人而忽略了他, 他却打心底里懂你.

Take down the love letters from the bookshelf, the photographs, the desperate notes,

从书架上取下那些情书, 照片以及绝望的字条,

Peel your own image from the mirror. Sit. Feast on your life.

从镜中剥去自己的形象. 坐下. 尽享你的生活.
