One Happy Moment Poem by Luo Zhihai

★ One Happy Moment

☆ Poetry by John Dryden

NO, no, poor suffe'ring Heart, no Change endeavour,
Choose to sustain the smart, rather than leave her;
My ravish'd eyes behold such charms about her,
I can die with her, but not live without her:
One tender Sigh of hers to see me languish,
Will more than pay the price of my past anguish:
Beware, O cruel Fair, how you smile on me,
'Twas a kind look of yours that has undone me.

Love has in store for me one happy minute,
And She will end my pain who did begin it;
Then no day void of bliss, or pleasure leaving,
Ages shall slide away without perceiving:
Cupid shall guard the door the more to please us,
And keep out Time and Death, when they would seize us:
Time and Death shall depart, and say in flying,
Love has found out a way to live, by dying.

★ 快乐时刻

☆ [英国] 约翰•德莱顿（1631-1700） 诗
☆ [中国] 罗志海 (1954-) 译


不，不，可怜痛苦心，没有努力去改过
选择撑住疼痛，而不是离开她片刻
我双眼痴迷，注视她如此魅力的诱惑
我可以和她一起死，但不能没有她而活
她发出温柔的叹息，我含情脉脉
这比我过去的痛苦代价更高
当心啊，残忍的佳人，任你怎样嘲笑我
你柔情一瞥，我雪释冰消

爱给我快乐时刻，就在商店里
她会结束我的痛苦，开始
无休无止，空虚狂喜，愉快离开
年龄无声无嗅，滑落走来
丘比特看守大门，多多取悦我们
阻止时间和死亡，不让他们俘获我们
时间和死亡要分离，边飞翔边倾诉
爱通过死亡，已经找出一条活路
