Later...晚些时候

When is later? ...晚些时候是啥时候？
All you ever hear is "Later, Henrik, 你所听到的都是 “晚些时候，亨里克，
Henrik, later..." 亨里克,晚些时候吧！”

"Yes, we know, Henrik, 是的，我们知道，亨里克，
Oh, Henrik, Everyone agrees, Henrik，哦，亨里克，每个人都同意，亨里克，”
Please, Henrik!" 请别这样，亨里克！

You have a thought you're fairly 一想到这个就你就
bursting with, 很冲动，
A personal discovery or problem, 你个人的发现或问题，
and it's:它是：
"What's your rush, Henrik? 你急什么，亨里克？
Shush, Henrik! 嘘，亨里克！
“Goodness, how you gush, Henrik! 天呐！，你怎么涌出来了，亨里克！
Hush, Henrik!" 嘘，亨里克！

You murmur: 你低语：
"I only--我只是 -
It's just that--" 只是 - ”
"For God's sake, “看在上帝的份上，
later, Henrik!" 晚些时候吧，亨里克！”

"Henrik... ” 亨里克...
Who is Henrik? 谁是亨里克？
“Oh, that lawyer's son, the one who 哦，律师的儿子，那个
mumbles.” 喃喃自语的人。
Short and boring, 短小而无趣，
Yes, he's hardly worth ignoring." 是的，他太容易被忽视，
And who cares if he's all dammed--" 甭管它，假如他的一切被唾弃--

I beg your pardon-- 对不起 -
"Up inside?" “在里面吗？”

As I've often stated, 正如我常说，
It's intolerable 这煎熬
being tolerated. 真难熬。
"Reassure Henrik, 放心吧，亨里克
Poor Henrik. 可怜的亨里克.
Henrik, you'll endure 亨里克,你扛得住
Being pure, Henrik."亨里克,你纯粹点儿。

Though I've been born, I've never虽然我已出生，可从来就
been! 不纯粹！
How can I wait around for later? 我怎么能等到晚些时候？
I'll be ninety on my deathbed 我就要90岁，该死啦
And the late, or, rather, later, 晚一点儿，或者，晚些时候吧，
Henrik Egerman！亨里克·叶格尔曼！

Doesn't anything begin? 是不是什么都还没开始？
