Politics
《政治》
——by W.B Yeats
‘In our time the destiny of man prevents its meanings in political terms.’ — Thomas Mann.
“在我们的时代,人类命运通过政治表现它的意义”。——托马斯·曼
How can I, that girl standing there,
那姑娘站在那里,
My attention fix
我怎能集中神志
On Roman or on Russian
去考虑罗马或俄国
Or on Spanish politics?
或者西班牙的政治?
Yet here’s a travelled man that knows
但此公曾周游列国,
What he talks about,
知道说的是什么话,
And there’s a politician
那一个博学而且多思,
That has read and thought,
还是个政治家。
And maybe what they say is true
战争和警报已来临,
Of war and war’s alarms,
他们也讲得有理,
But O that I were young again
不过但愿我还年轻,
And held her in my arms!
把她抱在我怀里!
