I Think I Should Have Loved You Presently

by Edna St. Vincent Millay

I think I should have loved you presently,

And given in earnest words I flung in jest;

And lifted honest eyes for you to see,

And caught your hand against my cheek and breast;

And all my pretty follies flung aside

That won you to me, and beneath your gaze,

Naked of reticence and shorn of pride,

Spread like a chart my little wicked ways.

I, that had been to you, had you remained,

But one more waking from a recurrent dream,

Cherish no less the certain stakes I gained,

And walk your memory’s halls, austere, supreme,

A ghost in marble of a girl you knew

Who would have loved you in a day or two.

我想我没准儿很快爱上你by Edna St. Vincent Millay

翻译： 高兴

我想我没准儿很快爱上你,

对你诚恳地讲话而不是躲闪回避；

并且抬起诚实的双眼给你看，

让你用手在我的脸颊和胸前游弋；

并且把所有的娇柔矫揉造作一并收起

即使它们曾为我赢得了你， 并任你上下凝睇，

去掉保留，撇掉自尊，

平摊开来， 让我娇嗔的样子一览无余。

如果我早就这样做， 我们不会分离，

但我再次被从类似的梦中唤起，

过去那些教训绝对不能忘记，

这样， 我从你记忆的殿堂走出， 冷静， 高傲地，

如大理石雕像的幽灵， 那个你似乎了解的女孩，

她没准儿一两天后会爱上你。
