英语名篇诵读 忘记它

Let It Be Forgotten

忘记它

Sara Teasdale(萨拉·蒂斯代尔)

Let it be forgotten, as¹ a flower is forgotten,

Forgotten as a fire that once was² singing gold,

Let it be forgotten for ever³ and ever,

Time is a kind friend, he will make us old.

If anyone⁴ asks, say it was forgotten,

Long and long ago,

As a flower, as a fire, as a hushed footfall ,

In a long forgotten snow.

忘了它，就像忘掉一朵花，

忘了它，就像忘掉一团金光闪耀的火焰，

永远永远忘了它，

时间是位善良的朋友，转瞬间我们已满头白发。

如果有人问起它，就说已经记不起，

在很久很久以前，

像一朵云、一团火、一串无声的脚步，

在一场早已遗忘的大雪里。
