狄金森雙語詩歌:從未成功過的人們

從未成功過的人們

從未成功過的人們

才會認為成功最甜美。

甘露的滋味

需要最迫切的渴求方能體會。

今日的勝利之師

沒有人能高揚凱旗

清晰地闡釋

勝利

奄奄一息的，戰(zhàn)敗者——

即將失去聽覺的耳朵

聽見遠方激昂的凱歌

悲痛而嘹亮！

Success is counted sweetest

Success is counted sweetest

By those who ne’er succeed.

To comprehend a nectar

Requires sorest need.

Not one of all the purple Host

Who took the Flag today

Can tell the definition

So clear of Victory

As he defeated—dying—

On whose forbidden ear

The distant strains of triumph

Burst agonized and clear!
