Acquainted with the Night -- Robert Frost
與黑夜為伍--羅伯特·弗羅斯特
I have been one acquainted with the night.
我曾與夜為伍。
I have walked out in rain and back in rain.
在雨中踱步。
I have outwalked the furthest city light.
到過路燈不及之處。
I have looked down the saddest city lane.
我見過凄清的馬路。
I have passed by the watchman on his beat.
也曾低頭不顧。
And dropped my eyes, unwilling to explain.
擦肩而去的更夫。
I have stood still and stopped the sound of feet when far away an interrupted cry came over houses from another street.
我曾駐足,聆聽越過街道房屋遠處斷續(xù)的哀哭。
But not to call me back or say good-bye.
而我義無反顧。
And further still at an unearthly height.
繼續(xù)前行直達無人的高處。
One luminary clock against the sky.
哦,明月如表盤失去刻度。
Proclaimed the time was neither wrong nor right.
讓時間變得模糊。
I have been one acquainted with the night.
我就這樣與夜為伍。
