新译小诗|Laugh, and the world laughs with you; Weep, and you weep alone

Solitude

BY ELLA WHEELER WILCOX

孤独

译：Jun

Laugh, and the world laughs with you;
Weep, and you weep alone;
For the sad old earth must borrow its mirth,
But has trouble enough of its own.
你笑，全世界陪你；
你哭，只有你独自哭泣；
悲伤的地球老人必须借来自己的欢笑，
但它自身已经麻烦足矣。

Sing, and the hills will answer;
Sigh, it is lost on the air;
The echoes bound to a joyful sound,
But shrink from voicing care.
你歌，山谷就回应；
你叹，它便消失在风里；
回声回响着愉快的声音，
但不敢唱出忧虑。

Rejoice, and men will seek you;
Grieve, and they turn and go;
They want full measure of all your pleasure,
But they do not need your woe.
你幸，人们寻你而去；
你哀，人们转身离开；
他们渴望你全部的喜悦，
但不需要你的悲伤。

Be glad, and your friends are many;
Be sad, and you lose them all,—
There are none to decline your nectared wine,
But alone you must drink life’s gall.
你喜，就呼朋唤友；
你悲，就失去他们——
无人会拒绝你的琼浆，
但你必须独自品尝生活的苦涩。

Feast, and your halls are crowded;
Fast, and the world goes by.
Succeed and give, and it helps you live,
But no man can help you die.
宴席上，高朋满座；
时光飞逝，世界流转。
成功和给予，是你生活的动力，
但没有人能伴你死去。
There is room in the halls of pleasure
For a large and lordly train,
But one by one we must all file on
Through the narrow aisles of pain.
快乐的殿堂尚有一席之地，
让庞大而高贵的列车通过，
但我们必须一个接一个鱼贯而行，
穿过狭窄的痛苦走道而进。
