33 The Recall追唤-双语名著无障碍阅读丛书——《新月集The Crescent Moon》

The Crescent Moon 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 come for a moment while stars are gazing at stars.” 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." 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." ·104· 新月集「 追唤 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，我爱： 世界都在沉睡；当群星互相凝视的时候，你来一会儿是 没有人知道的。” 她走的时候，树木刚在萌芽，春光正幼。 现在花盛开了，我唤道：“回来，我爱。孩子们漫 ①reckless[reklis]a.不在 不经心地游戏，把花聚了一块，又把它们散开了。你如 意的 走来，拿一朵小花去，没有人会觉得失了它的。” 他们常常游戏的，还在那里游戏，生命如此的浪费。 2 spendthrift ['spendorift] a.挥霍的，浪费的 我静听他们的空谈，便唤道：“回来，我爱，母亲 ③brim [brim].边缘 的心里，充满着爱，你如走来，仅从她那里接了一个吻， ④grudge[grad3]v妒忌 没有人会妒忌的。” ·105·
