双语赏析:召唤 THE RECALL
THE night was dark when she went away, and they slept.
The night is dark now, and I call for her, "Come back, my darling; the world is asleep; and no one would know, if you came for a moment while stars are gazing at stars."
她走的时候,夜间黑漆漆的,他们都睡了。
现在,夜间也是黑漆漆的,我唤她道:“回来,我的宝贝;世界都在沉睡,当星星互相凝视的时候,你来一会儿是没有人会知道的。”
She went away when the trees were in bud and the spring was young.
Now the flowers are in high bloom and I call, "Come back, my darling. The children gather and scatter flowers in reckless sport. And if you come and take one little blossom no one will miss it."
她走的时候,树木正在萌芽,春光刚刚来到。
现在花已盛开,我唤道:“回来,我的宝贝。孩子们漫不经心地在游戏,把花聚在一起,又把它们散开。你如走来,拿一朵小花去,没有人会发觉的。”
Those that used to play are playing still, so spendthrift is life.
I listen to their chatter and call, "Come back, my darling, for mother's heart is full to the brim with love, and if you come to snatch only one little kiss from her no one will grudge it."
