Those Annual Bills Poem by Luo Zhihai

★ Those Annual Bills

☆ Poetry by Mark Twain


These annual bills! these annual bills!
How many a song their discord trills
Of 'truck' consumed, enjoyed, forgot,
Since I was skinned by last year's lot!

Those joyous beans are passed away;
Those onions blithe, O where are they?
Once loved, lost, mourned-now vexing ILLS
Your shades troop back in annual bills!

And so 'twill be when I'm aground
These yearly duns will still go round,
While other bards, with frantic quills,
Shall damn and damn these annual bills!

★ 那些年度账单

☆ [美国] 马克•吐温(1835-1910，美国小说家) 诗
☆ [中国] 罗志海 译


这些年度账单！这些年度账单！
一首歌曲，不和谐颤音不少
“卡车”消费，享受，忘掉
自从我去年被多次欺骗

那些欢乐的豆豆都擦身而去
那些洋葱葱无忧无虑，哦，它们在哪里？
曾经爱过，错过，哀悼，现在恼火生气
你阴影幢幢回到年度账单！

我屡遭挫折搁浅
这些年度催债仍会上门紧逼
别的吟游诗人，用上疯狂的羽毛笔
这些该死的年度账单！
