Tell all the truth but tell it slant — (1263)
BY EMILY DICKINSON
Tell all the truth but tell it slant —
Success in Circuit lies
Too bright for our infirm Delight
The Truth's superb surprise
As Lightning to the Children eased
With explanation kind
The Truth must dazzle gradually
Or every man be blind —
别直接讲出真相
别直接讲出真相 —
要迂回才行
真相令人敬畏的惊奇
会映照我们脆弱的心情
像对儿童耐心解释
消除闪电带来的惶恐
真相也得一点点发光
人才不会失明 —
很久没有翻译诗了, 很喜欢这首, 但是翻译的很勉强。 英文的味道是翻不出来 :-(
