记住我,当我已经离去

去了一个遥远的沉寂之地

当你再也不能用手抓住我

而我也无法欲走还留

记住我,当你再也不能日复一日

跟我唠叨你对我们未来的憧憬:

只需记住我

你明白,劝说和祈祷都为时已晚

然而你若短时将我忘记

而后又将我忆起,不要哀伤:

如果黑暗和腐朽中仍残存一丝我的思想痕迹

你若能将我遗忘而面带微笑

远胜于你念着我,却心感悲凄

 

原文

Remember 

BY CHRISTINA ROSSETTI

Remember me when I am gone away,

         Gone far away into the silent land;

         When you can no more hold me by the hand,

Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.

Remember me when no more day by day

         You tell me of our future that you plann'd:

         Only remember me; you understand

It will be late to counsel then or pray.

Yet if you should forget me for a while

         And afterwards remember, do not grieve:

         For if the darkness and corruption leave

         A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,

Better by far you should forget and smile

         Than that you should remember and be sad.
