经典英语诗歌译文：舞台之爱

　　When the game began between them for a jest,
　　He played king and she played queen to match the best;
6 G. ~! O, X0 B, F7 h, j　　Laughter soft as tears, and tears that turned to laughter,
　　These were things she sought for years and sorrowed after.
4 R3 k' Y7 d7 m  k& _+ T( E　　Pleasure with dry lips, and pain that walks by night;
　　All the sting and all the stain of long delight;
9 p% M6 N. F0 e7 n. `- d0 b9 i　　These were things she knew not of, that knew not of her,
　　When she played at half a love with half a lover.
2 Q+ j4 w6 Y4 o+ e　　Time was chorus, gave them cues to laugh or cry;
　　They would kill, befool, amuse him, let him die;
0 L2 U9 h' o& V( X9 k7 I  S7 R　　Set him webs to weave to-day and break to-morrow,
　　Till he died for good in play, and rose in sorrow.
7 s" q: s9 s+ W/ w# ], w　　What the years mean; how time dies and is not slain;
2 k- t2 F+ s/ I. u9 b9 l: h　　How love grows and laughs and cries and wanes again;
7 g6 W, h8 x; L# s& ]; o! x　　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,
1 O6 \9 _8 b& I/ j$ M, X　　男演国王女演王后最为般配;
　　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。
4 E; g) M3 A0 ^- }# O% |　　欢乐中唇焦舌燥,痛苦里夜不能寐，

　　当她与半真的情人表演半假的爱情,
　　她对此一无所知毫无体会。
6 F4 Y# s4 D9 _+ G9 D3 {　　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,

　　时光易逝时光无限谁能品出真味?
% h9 R/ s, T# q% h" W) D* k$ e4 X　　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,
