狄金森雙語詩歌:我當(dāng)然祈禱過

我當(dāng)然祈禱過

我當(dāng)然祈禱過——

可上帝在乎嗎？

在他眼中這不過是

空中的鳥，跺了跺腳——

大喊著“給我”——

生存的理由——

我不曾有過，若不是因?yàn)槟恪?/p>

將我留在原子的墳?zāi)估铩?/p>

快樂，虛無，歡愉，麻木——

比起這錐心的痛苦

已是一種仁慈。

Of Course—I prayed

Of Course—I prayed—

And did God Care?

He cared as much as on the Air

A Bird—had stamped her foot—

And cried “Give Me”—

My Reason—Life—

I had not had—but for Yourself—

’Twere better Charity

To leave me in the Atom’s Tomb—

Merry, and Nought, and gay, and numb—

Than this smart Misery.
