▍原文

The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock -- by T.S Eliot 
普鲁弗洛克的情歌  TS艾略特

（接上节）

And indeed there will be time
For the yellow smoke that slides along the street,
Rubbing its back upon the window-panes;
There will be time, there will be time
To prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet; 
There will be time to murder and create,
And time for all the works and days of hands 
That lift and drop a question on your plate; 
而时间总会有的 
让⻩色的烟溜过街巷 
在玻璃窗上厮磨它的背 
时间会有的
时间会有的 
预备一副面孔，去⻅你要⻅的面孔 
时间会有的，去谋杀，去创造 
去工作，去生活 
把疑问提起又抛下，留在盘中 

Time for you and time for me,
And time yet for a hundred indecisions, 
And for a hundred visions and revisions, 
Before the taking of a toast and tea. 
有你的时间，有我的时间， 
有一百个犹豫不决的时间 
有一百个想入非非和变卦的时间 
在吃一片吐司，喝一杯茶之前 

In the room the women come and go 
Talking of Michelangelo. 
房中的女人，来来往往 
谈论着米开朗琪罗 

And indeed there will be time
To wonder, “Do I dare?” and, “Do I dare?”
Time to turn back and descend the stair,
With a bald spot in the middle of my hair —
(They will say: “How his hair is growing thin!”)
My morning coat, my collar mounting firmly to the chin,
My necktie rich and modest, but asserted by a simple pin — 
(They will say: “But how his arms and legs are thin!”) 
Do I dare
Disturb the universe?
In a minute there is time 
For decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse. 
的确，时间总会有的 
去犹疑，“我敢吗?”“我敢吗?” 
会有时间转身，走下楼去 
暴露一块秃顶给众人—— 
(他们会说:"怎么他的头发越来越稀了!") 
我的晨礼服，我的领子，紧贴着下巴， 
我的领带，大方端庄，却被一个简单的别针所主宰 
(他们会说:“但是他的胳膊和腿是如何变细的!”) 
我敢吗 
去惊扰整个宇宙? 
一会儿就有时间了 
决定和变卦，一会儿就会推翻重来 

For I have known them all already, known them all: 
Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons,
I have measured out my life with coffee spoons; 
I know the voices dying with a dying fall 
Beneath the music from a farther room. 
So how should I presume? 
因为我早已熟悉她们，熟悉他们所有人—— 
熟悉每个⻩昏，清晨和午后 
我用咖啡匙量过自己的生活 
我知道当音乐从远处的房间传来 
人语声就渐渐沉寂，直至消失 
那么，我该怎么行动呢?

1. 俄狄浦斯情结（弑父情结，恋母情结）：Oedipus complex
相传希腊神话中，王子俄狄浦斯违反意愿，无意中杀死生父，娶母为妻。弗洛伊德以此来描述儿子依恋母亲、害怕父亲的情况。他认为男孩对母亲会发生爱恋，而对父亲怀有杀机；为取得母亲的爱情而与父亲竞争，既潜意识地想取代父亲占有母亲，同时又很现实地承认父亲比自己更强大有力，从而压抑着对母亲的性冲动，并在心理上以父亲自居，把对父亲的恨转为模仿父亲的行为和态度，以此来博得母亲的爱。

2. Works and Days《工作与时日》
该长诗是古希腊诗人赫西俄德（Hesiod）的作品。赫西俄德以长诗《工作与时日》《神谱》闻名于后世，被称为“希腊训谕诗之父”。
