朱自清 《春》英语翻译

燕子去了，

有再来的时候；

杨柳枯了，

有再青的时候；

桃花谢了，

有再开的时候；但是 ，聪明的，你告诉我，我们的日子为什么一去不

复返呢

?---

是有人偷了他们罢，那是谁？又藏在何处呢？是他们自己

逃了吧 ，现在又到了哪里呢？

If swallows leave, there is a time for them to be back again;

If willows die, there is a time for them to be green again;

If peach blossoms fall, there is a time for them to bloom again;

But, you, the wise, tell me why do our days leave and never come back?

---If they are stolen by someone, who could it be? And where could it be

hided? If it is the days themselves that escape from us, where do they go

now?

我不知道他们给了我多少日子，

但我的手确乎是渐渐空虚了。

在

默默里算着，

八千多日子已经从我手中溜去。

像针尖上一滴水滴在

大海里，

我的日子滴在时间的流里，

没有声音，

也没有影子。

我

不禁头涔涔而泪潸潸了。

I

many

days

God

endows

However,

I

really

aware

of

a

few

things

leaving

from

my

hand.

Counting the time silently, I find more than eight thousand days have slid

away

from

my

hands.

Just

like

a

drop

of

water

from

the

tip

of

needle

disappearing into the ocean, my days are dripping into the stream of time,

soundless, traceless. I can

’

t help to sweating on my forehead and tearing

on my face.
