I Look into My Glass

对镜

翻译 陈敬容

I look into my glass,

我对着我的明镜，

And view my wasting skin,

见自己形容憔悴，

And say, ‘Would God it came to pass

但愿上苍听从我祈请，

My heart had shrunk as thin!’

让我的心也皱缩枯萎。

For then, I, undistrest

人们将对我日益冷淡，

By hearts grown cold to me,

到那时我也会不再介意，

Could lonely wait my endless rest

我会平静而坦然，

With equanimity¹.

等待着永恒安息。

But Time, to make me grieve,

可叹时间流去了一半，

Past steals, lets past abide²;

却把另一半存起，

And shakes this fragile frame at eve

我这衰弱苍老的躯体内，

With throbbings of noontide.

却是盛年的心在颤悸。
