Suicide note 遗书

LangstonHughes

The calm,

Cool face of the river,

Asked me for a kiss

平静的，

淡漠的河面，

向我索一个吻

There is a Lady Sweet and Kind 有一位姑娘美丽又温柔

Thomas Ford

There is a lady sweet and kind,

Was never a face so pleased my mind;

I did but see her passing by,

And yet,

I’ll love her till I die.

有一位姑娘甜美又温柔;

从未有一张脸让我如此心荡神摇;

我只看见她经过;

就会爱她到永远。

As I Watch’d the Ploughman Ploughing 当我看到农夫在田里耕作

Walt Whitman

As I watch’ d the ploughman ploughing，

Or the sower sowing in the fields，

or the harvester harvesting，

I saw there too，O life and death，your analogies;

(Life,life is the tillage, and Death is the harvest according.)

当我看到农夫在田里耕作，

或看到播种者辛劳在田间，

或是收获者收获时，

我在那儿也看到，生与死啊，与这一切多么相似;

(生，生是耕作;而死亡则是相应的收获。)

In delay there lies no plenty 时日无多

William Shakespeare

In delay there lies no plenty,

Then come kiss me,

sweet and twenty,

Youth’s a stuff that will not endure.

迁延蹉跎,来日无多;

二十丽姝,请来吻我;

衰草枯杨,青春易过。
