我们俩分别时——乔治·戈登·拜伦

 

When we two parted,

 

昔日依依别，

In silence and tears,

泪流默无言；

Half broken-hearted,

离恨肝肠断，

To sever¹ for years,

此别又几年。

Pale grew thy cheek and cold,

冷颊何惨然，

Colder thy kiss;

一吻寒更添；

Truly that hour foretold²

日后伤心事，

Sorrow to this!

此刻已预言。

The dew of the morning,

朝起寒露重，

Sunk chill on my brow，

凛冽凝眉间,

It felt like the warning,

彼时已预告：

Of what I feel now.

悲伤在今天。

Thy vows³ are all broken,

山盟今安在？

And light is thy fame:

汝名何轻贱！

I hear thy name spoken,

吾闻汝名传，

And share in its shame.

羞愧在人前。

They name thee before me,

闻汝名声恶，

A knell⁴ to mine ear;

犹如听丧钟。

A shudder⁵ comes o'er me,

不禁心怵惕，

Why wert thou so dear?

往昔情太浓。

They know not I knew thee,

谁知旧日情，

Who knew thee too well:

斯人知太深。

long, long shall I rue⁶ thee,

绵绵长怀恨，

Too deeply to tell.

尽在不言中。

In secret we met,

昔日喜幽会，

In silence I grieve,

今朝恨无声。

That thy heart could forget,

旧情汝已忘，

Thy spirit deceive.

疾心遇薄幸。

If I should meet thee,

多年离别后，

After long year,

抑或再相逢，

How should I greet thee?

相逢何所语？

With silence and tears.

泪流默无声。
