成功 - 艾米莉·狄金森(美音)

Success

by Emily Dickinson

请跟英语兔我一起读:

Success is counted sweetest

从未成功的人认为，

By those who ne'er succeed.

成功的滋味甜美无比。

To comprehend a nectar

必须要有强烈的需求，

Requires sorest need.

方能领会花蜜的美味。

Not one of all the purple host

那最显赫的人身着紫衣，

Who took the flag today

执掌今日的大旗，

Can tell the definition

似乎没有人能像他们那样，

So clear, of victory,

明了胜利的真谛。

As he, defeated, dying,

当他战败后垂死，

On-whose forbideen ear

失聪的耳边突然响起

The distant strains of triumph

遥远的凯歌旋律

Break, agonized and clear.

竟如此痛苦而清晰。
