Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night
不要温和地走进那个良夜
Dylan Thomas · 迪伦·托马斯
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
不要温和地走进那个良夜，
老年应当在日暮时燃烧咆哮；
怒斥，怒斥光明的消逝。
尽管智者临终时知道黑暗即正道，
因为他们的言语未劈出闪电，他们
不要温和地走进那个良夜。
好人，最后一浪过去，哭喊着多么明亮
他们脆弱的功业本可在绿色海湾起舞，
怒斥，怒斥光明的消逝。
狂人曾捕捉并歌唱飞逝的太阳，
明白得太晚，他们为它的离去悲伤，
不要温和地走进那个良夜。
逝者，临近死亡，以失明的眼看见
盲眼也能像流星燃烧而欢欣，
怒斥，怒斥光明的消逝。
而你，我的父亲，在那悲伤的高处，
我求你，以你灼热的泪诅咒我、祝福我。
不要温和地走进那个良夜。
怒斥，怒斥光明的消逝。
迪伦·托马斯写给病危父亲的诗。副歌怒斥光明的消逝，成为人类对抗死亡最著名的宣言。
