心儿灌水--勃朗宁夫人十四行诗

贺兰心儿

11.EEB
白朗宁夫人抒情十四行诗集第十一首
Selected from EBB _The sonnets from the Portuguese_, No. XI
这么说，把爱情作为我的名份，
And therefore if to love can be desert,        

贺兰心儿

我还不是完全不配承受。虽然，               
I am not all unworthy. Cheeks as pale
你看，两颊那么苍白，那摇晃的
As these you see, and trembling knees that fail

贺兰心儿

双膝仿佛负担不了沉重的心房；
To bear the burden of a heavy heart. --

And yet, because I love thee, I obtain

贺兰心儿

承受着光明，许我继续活下去，
From that same love this vindicating grace,  
哪怕是怎样枉然，也要爱你到底；
To live on still in love, and yet in vain, ...
也要祝福你－－即使拒绝你在当面。
To bless thee, yet renounce thee to thy face.

白朗宁夫人抒情十四行诗集第十二首

说真的，就是这为我所夸耀的爱吧，
Indeed this very love which is my boast,
当它从胸房涌上眉梢，给我加上
And which, when rising up from breast to brow,

贺兰心儿

一顶皇冠－－那一颗巨大的红宝石，
Doth crown me with a ruby large enow              
光彩夺目，让人知道它价值连城。。。。。。
To draw men's eyes and prove the inner cost, ...

贺兰心儿

就算我这全部的、最高成就的爱吧，
This love even, all my worth, to the uttermost,
我也不懂得怎样去爱，要不是你
I should not love withal, unless that thou
