REMEMBER by Christina Rossetti

思忆[克里斯蒂娜·罗塞蒂]

REMEMBER me when I am gone away,

Gone far away into the silent land;

When you can no more hold me by the hand,

Nor I half turn to go, yet turning stay.

请记住我,当我离去时

我去到那遥远的静谧之地

那时你再不能牵住我的手

而我也再不能欲走还留

Remember me when no more day by day

You tell me of our future that you plann'd:

Only remember me; you understand

It will be late to counsel then or pray.

请记住我,当日复一日

你再也不能向我诉说未来的愿望

只要你还记住我, 你明白的

到那时再相劝或祈祷已然迟矣

Yet if you should forget me for a while

And afterwards remember, do not grieve:

For if the darkness and corruption leave

A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,

Better by far you should forget and smile

Than that you should remember and be sad.

如果你暂时将我遗忘

而后又忆起,请不要忧伤

因为那黑暗和腐朽之乡,倘若能留下

些许我过去的思想

我宁愿你能将我微笑地忘记

也远远胜似把我悲伤地记起
