作品原文

林徽因 《一天》

今天十二个钟头，
是我十二个客人，
每一个来了，又走了，
最后夕阳拖着影子也走了！
我没有时间盘问我自己胸怀，
黄昏却蹑着脚，好奇的偷着进来！
我说：朋友，这次我可不对你诉说啊，
每次说了，伤我一点骄傲。
黄昏黯然，无言的走开，
孤单的、沉默的，我投入夜的怀抱！

作品译文

One Day
Lin Hui-yin

Today's twelve hours
are my twelve guests,
each has come and gone, in the end
even the setting sun is gone, trailing its shadow behind.
I don't have time to question my own thoughts,
but dusk has tiptoed over, filled with curiosity, stealing in.
I say: my friend, this time I won't complain to you,
every time I complain, it hurts my pride a little.
Dusk is quiet; it leaves without a word.
Alone in this silence I throw myself into the night.
