Remember
记住我
Christina Rossetti · 克里斯蒂娜·罗塞蒂
Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.
记住我,当我离去,
远去,进入那无声之地;
当你再不能握住我的手,
我也不能半转身又留下。
记住我,当不再日复一日
你对我诉说我们曾规划的未来:
只要记住我;你知道
那时再劝告或祈祷都为时已晚。
然而,如果你一时将我遗忘,
后来又想起,请不必悲伤:
因为假如黑暗与腐朽
留下我曾有过的思想的痕迹,
那你宁可忘记我而微笑,
也不要记住我而伤悲。
罗塞蒂的挽歌:要记得我,但若遗忘,愿你微笑——忘记而微笑,胜过记得而哀戚。
