Talking In Bed
臥談
Philip Larkin
Talking in bed ought to be easiest,
臥談應(yīng)該很容易
Lying together there goes back so far,
躺在一起昔驱,回首往昔
An emblem of two people being honest.
坦誠相見是兩人的印記
Yet more and more time passes silently.
可越來越多的時間默然消逝
Outside, the wind's incomplete unrest
外面始藕,風(fēng)不停息
Builds and disperses clouds about the sky,
又把云聚起焚廊,散向天際
And dark towns heap up on the horizon.
昏暗的小鎮(zhèn)在地平線上堆積
None of this cares for us. Nothing shows why
我們不必在意,也無問東西
At this unique distance from isolation
與這孤寂,保持獨一無二的距離
It becomes still more difficult to find
也很難立刻找出
Words at once true and kind,
一個詞的真實與本質(zhì)
Or not untrue and not unkind.
亦或虛情與假意
