箭與歌

The Arrow and the Song

朗費(fèi)羅

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

我把一支箭向空中發(fā)射，

I shot an arrow into the air,

不知道它向何處墜落，

It fell to earth, I knew not where;

它飛得太快，我的眼睛

For, so swiftly it flew, the sight

跟不上如此迅速的飛行。

Could not follow it in its flight.

我向空中唱出一支歌，

I breathed a song into the air,

不知道它向何處墜落，

It fell to earth, I knew not where;

誰(shuí)有這樣敏銳的目光

For who has sight so keen and strong

能夠跟得上歌聲的飛翔？

That it can follow the flight of a song?

很久很久以后，我見到

Long, long afterward, in an oak

那箭在橡樹上，依然完好；

I found the arrow, still unbroke ;

那歌，我發(fā)現(xiàn)，從頭到尾

And the song, from beginning to end,

藏在一位朋友的心里。

I found again in the heart of a friend.
