经典英语诗歌译文：舞台之爱
# r" k' e  [) ^
& f$ d+ E. A& M% r　　When the game began between them for a jest,
　　He played king and she played queen to match the best;
　　Laughter soft as tears, and tears that turned to laughter,
　　These were things she sought for years and sorrowed after.
& Y1 |( o7 Z9 H　　Pleasure with dry lips, and pain that walks by night;
6 C4 |' h# G, A* K( {! v　　All the sting and all the stain of long delight;
　　These were things she knew not of, that knew not of her,
+ B! }& y5 {8 m+ @; ]- W　　When she played at half a love with half a lover.
! S% d# J' ^1 g　　Time was chorus, gave them cues to laugh or cry;
　　They would kill, befool, amuse him, let him die;
　　Set him webs to weave to-day and break to-morrow,
　　Till he died for good in play, and rose in sorrow.
. _" d0 A2 {, y' M- X& o' ]  H　　What the years mean; how time dies and is not slain;
　　How love grows and laughs and cries and wanes again;
. e( B, `- V: h0 t　　These were things she came to know, and take their measure,
) W2 O: m6 w$ J. x9 q- v" C　　When the play was played out so for one man’s pleasure.
$ V& ?0 l9 w" P9 `% g. d' t/ b　　帷幕拉开,他们登台演戏两人联袂,
3 {* `$ N! k2 m1 C　　男演国王女演王后最为般配;
6 u& e( R/ J' h# Q9 c. x3 H- u　　泪水化作笑声,笑声却柔如泪水,
　　这本是她多年的梦想,不料会充满伤悲。
0 a8 S4 F- A6 m' {　　欢乐中唇焦舌燥,痛苦里夜不能寐，
　　长久的欢乐有刺痛伴随;
　　当她与半真的情人表演半假的爱情,
　　她对此一无所知毫无体会。
　　尽管脚本最后要他们又哭又笑,
　　让他今天织网明天又去扯碎,
7 ^* K' }4 r5 F　　伤害他,作弄他,叫他去死,
9 p5 O! ~$ O6 o! m　　他在剧中真的死去,落幕后他满脸热泪。
0 g$ e; L) _$ l* {6 D　　时光易逝时光无限谁能品出真味?
1 P8 F& _  q# |  ]5 w　　爱情怎样滋长、欢笑、痛哭又消退?
　　这一切她开始懂得,开始用心思量,
　　当取悦一位男士的演出到此收尾。
