Acquainted with the Night (by Robert Frost) ^(试发表)

Acquainted with the Night by Robert Frost I have been one acquainted with the night. I have walked out in rain -- and back in rain. I have outwalked the furthest city light. I have looked down the saddest city lane. I have passed by the watchman on his beat And dropped my eyes, unwilling to explain. I have stood still and stopped the sound of feet When far away an interrupted cry Came over houses from another street, But not to call me back or say good-bye; And further still at an unearthly height, O luminary clock against the sky Proclaimed the time was neither wrong nor right. I have been one acquainted with the night. From "New Hampshire", 1923 与黑夜相识 我曾是与黑夜相识的一个。 我在雨中出门——且在雨中归返。 我走出过城市最遥远的灯火， 我俯视过城市最忧伤的小巷； 身旁路过那巡更的守夜人， 我低垂双眼，无心细想。 我默然呆立，停下脚步声， 当遥远的呼喊来自另一条街， 断续不清，越过屋顶。 但那并非将我召回或是道别； 更远处，在那超凡的高处， 噢，发光的钟悬于天界， 它宣告那时辰既无对，亦无错。 我曾是与黑夜相识的一个。 作者 / [美国] 罗伯特·弗罗斯特 翻译 / 照朗
