《西罗普郡一少年》

XLIX

第四十九首

别想了，小伙子，开开心心地欢笑

Think No More, Lad; Laugh, Be Jolly

英国   A. E. 豪斯曼原著

Alfred Edward Housman (1859 – 1936)

徐家祯翻译

 

 

Think no more, lad; laugh, be jolly:

      Why should men make haste to die?

Empty heads and tongues a-talking

Make the rough road easy walking,

And the feather pate of folly

      Bears the falling sky.

 

Oh, 'tis jesting, dancing, drinking

      Spins the heavy world around.

If young hearts were not so clever,

Oh, they would be young for ever:

Think no more; 'tis only thinking

      Lays lads underground.
