Very quietly I take my leave 《再别康桥》
As quietly as I came here;
Quietly I wave good-bye
To the rosy clouds in the western sky.
The golden willows by the riverside
Are young brides in the setting sun;
Their reflections on the shimmering waves
Always linger in the depth of my heart.
The floating heart growing in the sludge
Sways leisurely under the water;
In the gentle waves of Cambridge
I would be a water plant!
That pool under the shade of elm trees
Holds not water but the rainbow from the sky;
Shattered to pieces among the duckweeds
Is the sediment of a rainbow-like dream?
To seek a dream? Just to pole a boat upstream
To where the green grass is more verdant;
Or to have the boat fully loaded with starlight
And sing aloud in the splendor of starlight.
But I cannot sing aloud
Quietness is my farewell music;
Even summer insects heap silence for me
Silent is Cambridge tonight!
Very quietly I take my leave
As quietly as I came here;
Gently I flick my sleeves
Not even a wisp of cloud will I bring away
Help:
Rosy: adj.蔷薇色的, 玫瑰红色的

The Flight of youth
There are gains for all our losses.
There are balms for all our pain;
But when youth, the dream, departs
It takes something from our hearts,
And it never comes again.
We are stronger, and are better,
Under manhood's sterner reign;
Still we feel that something sweet
Following youth, with flying feet,
And will never come again.
Something beautiful is vanished,
And we sigh for it in vain;
We behold it everywhere,
On the earth, and in the air,
But it never comes again!
青春的飞逝
我们失去的一切都能得到补偿,
我们所有的痛苦都能得到安慰；
可是梦境似的青春一旦消逝,
它带走了我们心中的某种美好,
从此一去不复返.
我们变得日益坚强、更臻完美,
在严重的成年生活驱使下；
可是依然感到甜美的情感,
已随着青春飞逝,
不再返回.
美好已经消逝,
我们枉自为此叹息；
尽管在天地之间,
我们处处能见青春的魅力,
可是它不再返回!
Duckweeds: n.[植] 浮萍 《再别康桥》
