你坐在水仙丛中，

There you are, in all your innocence,

一付天真烂漫的神气，

Sitting among your daffodils, as in a picture

如同你在照片旁的题辞：“天真烂漫 ”。

Posed as for the title: ‘Innocence’.

照在脸上柔和的阳光

Perfect light in your face lights it up

如同盛开的水仙。像那些水仙花中的

Like a daffodil. Like any one of those daffodils

任何一株，这全然是你在水仙丛中仅有的四月。

it was to be your only April on earth

你新生的婴儿在你的手臂里

Among your daffodils. In your arms,

像一只玩具熊，仅有几个星期

Like a teddy bear, your new son,

进入他的天真。在你神圣的照片里：

Only a few weeks into his innocence.

母亲和婴儿。在你身旁

Mother and infant, as in the Holy portrait.

是对着你仰面而笑的女儿，

And beside you, laughing up at you,

只有两个人。像一株水仙，

Your daughter, barely two. Like a Daffodil

你俯脸对着她，讲着什么话，

Your turn your face down to her, saying something.

你的话音消失在照相机里。

Your words were lost in the camera.

　　　　　　　　　　　　一张难认识的照片：

                                                   And the knowledge

一座有河围绕的山庄，比你的房屋大 ，

Inside the hill on which you are sitting,

你坐在山庄里。你接下去的时刻

A moated fort hill, bigger than your house,

像向你走来的一名步兵

Failed to reach the picture. While your next moment,

慢慢地从无人地带返回，

Coming towards you like an infantryman

在某些东西下面躬身，

Returning slowly out of no-man’s-land,

从没有接近你－－

Bowed under something, never reached you –

仅仅融化进那柔和的阳光里。

Simply melted into the perfect light.
