请记住我 - Christina Rossetti

Remember me when I am gone away, Gone far away into the silent land;

 

请记住我，当我已离去，到那遥远而静谧的土地；

When you can no more hold me by the hand, Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.

你再不能牵住我的手，而我也无法将去还留。

Remember me when no more day by day You tell me of our future that you planned:

请记住我，当不再有那一日又一日，你把计划里我们的未来讲给我听：

Only remember me; you understand it will be late to counsel then or pray.

只有记住我，你知道劝阻与祈祷已为时已晚。

Yet if you should forget me for a while And afterwards remember, do not grieve:

但是如果有一刻，你将我忘记，之后却又忆起，请不要悲伤：

For if the darkness and corruption¹ leave A vestige² of the thoughts that once I had,

因为如果那黑暗与腐朽之后我的一缕思绪尚能残留，

Better by far you should forget and smile. Than that you should remember and be sad.

那么我愿你能微笑着把我忘记，也不要在你的记忆里留下忧伤的痕迹。
