《我用什么才能留住你》

What can Ihold you with?

我用什么才能留住你（节选）

by JorgeLuis Borges

—— 博尔赫斯

I offeryou lean streets, desperate sunsets, the moon of the jagged suburbs.

我给你瘦落的街道、绝望的落日、荒郊的月亮。

I offeryou the bitterness of a man who has looked long and long at the lonely moon.

我给你一个久久地望着孤月的人的悲哀。

I offeryou the loyalty of a man who has never been loyal.

我给你一个从未有过信仰的人的忠诚。

I offeryou explanations of yourself, theories about yourself, authentic and surprisingnews of yourself.

我给你关于你生命的诠释，关于你自己的理论，你的真实而惊人的存在。

I can giveyou my loneliness, my darkness, the hunger of my heart; I am trying to bribeyou with uncertainty, with danger, with defeat.

我给你我的寂寞、我的黑暗、我心的饥渴；我试图用困惑、危险、失败来打动你。
