沉默许久后重新开口,不错 ,
Speech after long silence; it is right,
其他的情人都已离去或死去,
All other lovers being estranged or dead,
不友好的灯光用灯罩遮住 ,
Unfriendly lamplight hid under its shade,
不友好的黑夜用窗帘挡住 ,
The curtains drawn upon unfriendly night,
不错,我们谈了又谈,谈论不止 ,
That we descant and yet again descant
谈艺术和歌这个最高主题;
Upon the supreme theme of Art and Song:
身体的衰老意味着智慧:
Bodily decrepitude is wisdom; young
年轻时,
We loved each other and were ignorant.
我们曾经相爱却浑然不知。
