We Wear the Mask by Paul Laurence Dunbar We wear the mask that grins and lies, It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes,— This debt we pay to human guile; With torn and bleeding hearts we smile, And mouth with myriad subtleties. Why should the world be over-wise, In counting all our tears and sighs? Nay, let them only see us, while We wear the mask. We smile, but, O great Christ, our cries To thee from tortured souls arise. We sing, but oh the clay is vile Beneath our feet, and long the mile; But let the world dream otherwise, We wear the mask! |
我们带着面具 by Paul Laurence Dunbar 翻译 高兴 我们带着面具,欢笑且自欺, 掩饰着我们的脸, 不让眼睛真情显现- 我们吞噬着人类虚伪的苦果; 脸在笑,残破的心血在滴, 张口却是不温不火的词句。 为什么要让世界如此聪明, 去数我们每一滴眼泪, 每一次叹息? 不, 让他们看到我们, 只是当我们带着面具。 我们微笑, 但, 哦, 伟大的主, 我们的呜咽从饱受折磨的心底发出, 我们在歌唱, 但脚下的土壤 是如此沦丧且漫长; 让这个世界做别样的梦去, 我们带着面具! |
