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;
+ Y7 `" t  G! {  X　　Laughter soft as tears, and tears that turned to laughter,
0 ]6 S' G8 P) c7 Q7 [　　These were things she sought for years and sorrowed after.
　　Pleasure with dry lips, and pain that walks by night;
  x' ~6 ?* M) @* m% \1 h　　All the sting and all the stain of long delight;
" B7 `. g& h, D　　These were things she knew not of, that knew not of her,
( a0 I) N2 O- P5 e- C　　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;
　　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;
　　How love grows and laughs and cries and wanes again;
　　These were things she came to know, and take their measure,
　　When the play was played out so for one man’s pleasure.

　　当她与半真的情人表演半假的爱情,

3 [! p! H$ ]7 w2 l3 F4 }. F( `& d　　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,
