梦中梦 - 爱伦坡

A Dream Within A Dream
By Edgar Allan Poe

Take this kiss upon the brow!
请在这额头一吻！
And, in parking from you now,
遂就此作别辞君，
Thus much let me avow—
让我如是承认：

You are not wrong, who deem
你没错，你信然—
That my days have been a dream;
我的日子成梦幻；

Yet if hope has flown away
但希望若已飞走—
In a night, or in a day,
一夜间，或一白昼，

In a vision, or in none,
无形中，或眼一瞟，
Is it therefore the less gone?
—便因之逝去较少？

All that we see or seem
我们所见所感—
Is but a dream within a dream.
全只是梦幻之梦幻。

2.
I stand amid the roar
惊涛拍岸湍急—
Of a surf-tormented shore,
呼啸中，我挺立，

And I hold within my hand
我一手握拢五指
Grains of the golden sand—
攥紧金色沙子—

How few! yet how they creep
然而何其无益！
Through my fingers to the deep,
—透过指缝落海里，
While I weep—while I weep！
我悲泣，我悲泣！

O God! Can I not grasp
主呵！我怎能够—
Them with a tighter clasp?
不紧紧攥在手？

O God! Can I not save
主呵！波涛无情—
One from the pitiless wave?
我岂能一颗不剩？

Is all that we see or seem
我们的所见所感—
But a dream within a dream?
只是梦幻之梦幻？
