Remember《記着》
Christina Rossetti (1830 - 1894)
作者：克里斯蒂娜·罗塞蒂
Remember me when I am gone away,
>当我离去，请不要将我忘记，
Gone far away into the silent land;
>我将消失在那遥远的无声之地。
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
>当我们再不能天天彼此牵手, 我也就不必为去留而思来想去;
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you planned:
>当我们再不能日日憧憬未来, 也恳请不要将我从心底忘记。
Only remember me; you understand
>请你一定要记住我啊!
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
>纵然所有努力已为时已晚，
Yet if you should forget me for a while
> 纵然你也会将我偶尔忘记，
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
>请不要难为你自己，
For if the darkness and corruption leave
>或许在黑暗与腐朽之中，
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
>还残留着我眷恋的蛛丝马迹。
Better by far you should forget and smile
>好了，你现在可以微笑着忘记我了，
Than that you should remember and be sad
>又何必苦苦地执著对过往的追忆。
