The Charge Poem by Luo Zhihai

★ The Charge

☆ Poetry by Matthew Arnold


They outtalked thee, hissed thee, tore thee?
Better men fared thus before thee;
Fired their ringing shot and pass'd,
Hotly charged- and sank at last.
Charge once more, then, and be dumb!
Let the victors, when they come,
When the forts of folly fall,
Find thy body by the wall!

★ 向前冲

☆ [英国] 马修•阿诺德 (1822 - 1888) 诗
☆ [中国] 罗志海 (1954 -) 译


他们讲得比你多，嘘声阻止你，撕扯你？
因此，好男人在你面前表现
射出他们震耳欲聋的子弹
激烈紧张，最后退去
再次向前冲，然后，沉默！
胜利者来时
愚蠢的堡垒崩塌了
找到你倚在墙上的尸体！
