The Arrow And The Song

箭与歌

-----Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

－－－亨利．瓦茨沃斯．朗费罗
                                                                     

（1）

I shot an arrow in the air,

我向空中射了一箭，

It fell to earth, I knew not where;

它已落到地面，我不知道其去向；

For so swiftly it flew, the sight

因它飞得如此地快速

Could not follow it in its flight.

视力无法跟得上它的飞驰。

（2）

I breathed a song into the air,

我向空中轻歌一曲，

It fell to earth, I knew not where;

它已落地而停，我不知其去向；

For who has sight so keen and strong,

谁有这么敏锐的视力，

That it can follow the flight of song?

能跟得上歌声的飞驰？

（3）

Long, long afterward, in an oak

很久，很久以后，在一棵橡树上，

I found the arrow still unbroke;

我发现它依然完好无损；

And the song, from beginning to end,

而这首歌，从头到尾，

I found again in the heart of a friend.

我发现又深印在一位友人的心上。
