雙語《園丁集》 一個懷疑的微笑在你眼中閃爍

40

AN unbelieving smile flits on your eyes when I come to you to take my leave.

I have done it so often that you think I will soon return.

To tell you the truth I have the same doubt in my mind.

For the spring days come again time after time; the full moon takes leave and comes on another visit, the flowers come again and blush upon their branches year after year, and it is likely that I take my leave only to come to you again.

But keep the illusion awhile; do not send it away with ungentle haste.

When I say I leave you for all time, accept it as true, and let a mist of tears for one moment deepen the dark rim of your eyes.

Then smile as archly as you like when I come again.

一個懷疑的微笑在你眼中閃爍，當我來向你告別的時候。

我這樣做的次數(shù)太多了，你想我很快又會回來。

告訴你實話，我自己心里也有同樣的懷疑。

因為春天年年回來；

滿月道過別又來訪問，花兒每年回來在枝上紅暈著臉，

很可能我向你告別只為要再回到你的身邊。

但是把這幻象保留一會兒吧，

不要冷酷粗率地把它趕走。

當我說我要永遠離開你的時候，就當作真話來接受它，

讓淚霧暫時加深你眼邊的黑影。

當我再來的時候，隨便你怎樣地狡笑吧。
