晨读经典英语诗歌欣赏：摘罢苹果　　My long two-pointed ladder's sticking through a tree
# ^9 I' `1 t* c8 I. X7 b　　Toward heaven still,
　　And there's a barrel that I didn't fill
　　Beside it, and there may be two or three
　　Apples I didn't pick upon some bough.
5 j: `7 T; w. m+ G　　But I am done with apple-picking now.
3 A8 F, Z9 Q- A7 K+ d　　Essence of winter sleep is on the night,
　　The scent of apples: I am drowsing off.
5 \# T2 C. z: F" ], j　　I cannot rub the strangeness from my sight
4 _# v# I8 S& h8 D$ m9 D  z　　I got from looking through a pane of glass
/ d! ~, g# S' h% W. a7 E# p2 {4 A  h$ {7 T　　I skimmed this morning from the drinking trough
　　And held against the world of hoary grass.
) P# U* L' N+ d　　It melted, and I let it fall and break.
　　But I was well
　　Upon my way to sleep before it fell,
- a  a' P. C; u# X" d" B" C　　And I could tell
　　What form my dreaming was about to take.
　　Magnified apples appear and disappear,
' C  M" B2 x3 C! n　　Stem end and blossom end,
/ U/ Y. _  x. U$ q7 T& N3 `　　And every fleck of russet showing clear.
　　My instep arch not only keeps the ache,
　　It keeps the pressure of a ladder-round.
　　I feel the ladder sway as the boughs bend.
0 M3 D. x/ ?" }5 C1 b8 R　　And I keep hearing from the cellar bin
　　The rumbling sound
　　Of load on load of apples coming in.
6 H1 o$ R1 J6 D　　For I have had too much
3 G, c' c: b  n# j% E0 w9 t& Z　　Of apple-picking: I am overtired
　　Of the great harvest I myself desired.
$ n  V6 n8 m( K1 }" j% `8 R- ^　　There were ten thousand thousand fruit to touch,
* j' l7 d* g! Y* J　　Cherish in hand, lift down, and not let fall.
　　For all
　　That struck the earth,
　　No matter if not bruised or spiked with stubble,
　　Went surely to the cider-apple heap
　　As of no worth.
　　One can see what will trouble
　　This sleep of mine, whatever sleep it is.
" b8 n( D6 x) Z1 J　　Were he not gone,
　　The woodchuck could say whether it's like his
　　Long sleep, as I describe its coming on,
　　Or just some human sleep.
　　长梯穿过树顶，竖起两个尖端
　　刺向沉静的天穹。
　　梯子脚下，有一只木桶，
　　我还没给装满，也许
4 h  Z  k/ P. R! U　　还有两三个苹果留在枝头
$ Q: Z" B5 R# [3 B1 J　　我还没摘下。不过这会儿，
) i% b/ N* x6 R; a# x　　我算是把摘苹果这活干完了。
7 u+ M+ P2 Z  A8 m" W: E　　夜晚在散发着冬眠的气息
2 F4 P- |+ a3 I' V1 K  g8 J　　——那扑鼻的苹果香;
　　我是在打磕睡啦。
　　我揉揉眼睛，
, G& K5 n# z/ [5 _7 n9 N　　却揉不掉眼前的奇怪——
　　这怪景像来自今天早晨，
　　我从饮水槽里揭起一层冰——
　　像一块窗玻璃，隔窗望向
2 p! b  U3 a6 s9 j/ s' c　　一个草枯霜重的世界。
　　冰溶了，我由它掉下.碎掉。
1 c+ w7 g/ O$ f  m2 ?　　可是它还没落地，我早就
　　膘膘肪脆，快掉进了睡乡。
　　我还说得出，我的梦
　　会是怎么样一个形状。
& ]) S+ [# o( ]) M　　膨胀得好大的苹果，忽隐忽现，
+ q3 {: }# x2 [! I& e# V　　一头是梗枝，一头是花儿，
　　红褐色的斑点，全看得请。
" u% `& E( d' {) k　　好酸疼哪.我的脚底板.
& H& ?! [# h0 X! f& w　　可还得使劲吃住梯子档的分量，
　　我感到那梯子
　　随着弯倒的树枝，在摇晃。
2 m4 H6 l- n4 s7 g) w& s! R　　耳边只听得不断的隆隆声——
/ z$ @2 J% S( Z- L　　一桶又一捅苹果往地窖里送。
　　摘这么些苹果，
　　尽够我受了;我本是盼望
1 I( S" G) k! d9 T2 B　　来个大丰收，可这会儿已累坏了，
　　有千千万万的苹果你得去碰，
$ [5 k' r4 {/ Q/ l8 l' U; W9 S8 S　　得轻轻地去拿，轻轻地去放.
　　不能往地上掉。只要一掉地，
, d. m4 p+ D. L- W) [( `2 e8 j　　即使没碰伤，也没叫草梗扎破，
! E) b, `2 g5 Z5 t　　只好全都堆在一边，去做苹果酒，
- d7 w* o$ _# N/ p+ H4 n+ v　　算是不值一钱。
　　你看吧，打扰我睡一觉的是什么，
% @6 J' P  O/ ~' Y! t　　且不提这算不算睡一觉。
　　如果土拨鼠没有走开，
　　听我讲睡梦怎样来到我身边，
　　那它就可以说，
; C6 u3 P! L0 \　　这跟它的冬眠倒有些像，
　　或者说，这不过是人类的冬眠。
