经典英语诗歌译文：舞台之爱

2 M+ D0 u4 ?: P' U　　When the game began between them for a jest,
　　He played king and she played queen to match the best;
　　Laughter soft as tears, and tears that turned to laughter,
　　These were things she sought for years and sorrowed after.
/ K* k' i# ^8 `" ^" D　　Pleasure with dry lips, and pain that walks by night;
7 V- j. g1 x8 G  p% B& J  d　　All the sting and all the stain of long delight;
　　These were things she knew not of, that knew not of her,
/ t, a- p) X- v　　When she played at half a love with half a lover.
　　Time was chorus, gave them cues to laugh or cry;
　　They would kill, befool, amuse him, let him die;
! v4 H6 h+ p- ^  r　　Set him webs to weave to-day and break to-morrow,
　　Till he died for good in play, and rose in sorrow.
　　What the years mean; how time dies and is not slain;
+ V# a3 F$ d; t7 ?8 o　　How love grows and laughs and cries and wanes again;
6 x: I. T3 }6 `' P6 W' k　　These were things she came to know, and take their measure,
　　When the play was played out so for one man’s pleasure.
　　帷幕拉开,他们登台演戏两人联袂,
　　男演国王女演王后最为般配;
" Z# O3 S* B. ]6 B5 z　　泪水化作笑声,笑声却柔如泪水,
　　这本是她多年的梦想,不料会充满伤悲。
* W' }7 |5 E5 x! ]　　欢乐中唇焦舌燥,痛苦里夜不能寐，
% ]( Q5 j- y5 P) ^' q+ B6 Z　　长久的欢乐有刺痛伴随;
　　当她与半真的情人表演半假的爱情,
: w! n, F2 u, m  ^　　她对此一无所知毫无体会。
( q% u% ^" H) |( _6 |9 o4 N! d9 e　　尽管脚本最后要他们又哭又笑,
　　让他今天织网明天又去扯碎,
6 [2 ^+ X" h+ i　　伤害他,作弄他,叫他去死,
　　他在剧中真的死去,落幕后他满脸热泪。
　　时光易逝时光无限谁能品出真味?
　　爱情怎样滋长、欢笑、痛哭又消退?
　　这一切她开始懂得,开始用心思量,
! B2 _9 f" I9 @/ K　　当取悦一位男士的演出到此收尾。
