A Slice of Wedding Cake
by Robert Graves
Why have such scores of lovely,gifted girls
Married impossible men?
Simple self-sacrifice may be ruled out,
And missionary endeavour,nine times out of ten.
Repeat 'impossible men':not merely rustic,
Foul-tempered or depraved
(Dramatic foils chosen to show the world
How well women behave,and always have behaved).
Impossible men:idle,illiterate,
Self-pitying,dirty,sly,
For whose appearance even in City parks
Excuses must be made to casual passers-by.
Has God's supply of tolerable husbands
Fallen,in fact,so low?
Or do I always over-value woman
At the expense of man?
Do
It might be so.
Why have such scores of lovely,gifted girls
为什么才貌双全的女子,
Married impossible men?
却嫁给了难以忍受的男人?
Simple self-sacrifice may be ruled out,
简单说是自我献身却说不过去,
And missionary endeavour,nine times out of ten.
或是为了拯救男人,十有八九不太可能.
Repeat 'impossible men':not merely rustic,
反复说“难以理解的男人”不仅有点粗鲁,
Foul-tempered or depraved
而且脾气暴躁或者是堕落.
(Dramatic foils chosen to show the world
How well women behave,and always have behaved).
(喜剧里经常向人们展示有女人的世界上有多好)
Impossible men:idle,illiterate,
而那些难以忍受的男人:懒散,狭隘,
Self-pitying,dirty,sly,
自怜,肮脏,阴险.
For whose appearance even in City parks
向那些出现在城市公园,
Excuses must be made to casual passers-by.
给行人造成困扰的人.
Has God's supply of tolerable husbands
上帝说每个人都会遇见个好丈夫,
Fallen,in fact,so low?
事实上,却如此的难?
Or do I always over-value woman
也许我总高估女人,
At the expense of man?
而误会了男人?
Do
有吗?
It might be so.
可能如此吧.
