It Is Not Always May

人生不總是陽(yáng)光明媚

作者：朗費(fèi)羅,，H．W.

The sun is bright, - the air is clear,

陽(yáng)光明媚，空氣清新,，

The darting swallows soar and sing.

輕捷的燕子在飛來(lái)飛去地啼叫,，

And from the stately elms I hear

從那參天榆木的繁茂枝葉中，

The bluebird prophesying spring.

我聽到了知更鳥在預(yù)報(bào)春天的來(lái)到,。

So blue you winding river flows,

遠(yuǎn)處蜿蜒流淌的河流那么的湛藍(lán),，

It seems an outlet from the sky,

就像這河水原是從天上瀉來(lái)，

Where waiting till the west-wind blows,

望天上,，在冬天的西風(fēng)吹來(lái)之前,，

The freighted clouds at anchor lie.

載著水珠的云彩總在靜靜地休憩。

All things are new; - the buds, the leaves,

萬(wàn)象在更新,；新頂出的嫩芽,，嫩葉

That gild the elm-tree's nodding crest,

把榆樹搖曳的枝梢著上一層金黃，

And even the nest beneath the eaves;

就是屋檐下的鳥巢也是新筑的,；

There are no birds in last year's nest!

去年的舊巢里已經(jīng)不再有鳥兒歌唱!

All things rejoice in youth and love,

自然萬(wàn)物都沉浸在青春和愛的歡樂之中,，

The fullness of their first delight!

這是生機(jī)盎然的新到來(lái)的歡樂!

And learn from the soft heavens above

他們白天享有明朗和暖的天空

The melting tenderness of night.

晚上又沐浴著溫馨柔和的夜色,。

Maiden, that read'st this simple rhyme,

姑娘,，當(dāng)你讀到這樸素的詩(shī)行，

Enjoy thy youth, it will not stay;

你當(dāng)盡享你的青春,，因?yàn)樗粫?huì)停留,；

Enjoy the fragrance of thy prime,

你要盡享你美麗年華的芬芳，

For oh, it is not always May!

噢!因?yàn)槿松豢赡芸偸顷?yáng)光明媚!

Enjoy the Spring of Love and Youth,

享受這洋溢著青春和愛的春天,，

To some good angel leave the rest;

把其余的留給好心的天使照顧,；

For Time will teach thee soon the truth,

因?yàn)闀r(shí)間很快就會(huì)讓你懂得這條格言，

There are no birds in last year's nest!

去年的舊巢里已不再有鳥兒眷顧。
