第31天
To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time
致少女，珍惜时光
By Robert Herrick
罗伯特·赫里克
Gather ye rosebuds while ye may, Old Time is still a-flying:
玫瑰出花蕾，堪折直须折： 时光飞逝不停歇；
And this same flower that smiles today Tomorrow will be dying.
一朵鲜花美，今日笑微微， 明日或许即凋萎。
The glorious lamp of heaven, the sun, The higher he’s a-getting,
太阳如天灯，熠熠光辉生， 当其渐行渐高升，
The sooner will his race be run, And nearer he’s to setting.
亦渐行渐远，其轨迹渐完， 渐近落山近傍晚。
That age is best which is the first, When youth and blood are warmer;
年华最初时，年华最美丽， 血气方刚有活力；
But being spent, the worse, and worst Times still succeed the former.
一旦此时过，每况将愈下， 后来时光比前差。
Then be not coy, but use your time, And while ye may, go marry:
——请勿再忸怩，请将韶华惜， 快趁此时结连理；
For having lost but once your prime, You may for ever tarry.
青春好时光，怎可来错过， 一旦错过永蹉跎。
