Last season's fruit is eaten and the fullfed beast shall kick the empty pail.
上季的果子已經(jīng)吃過(guò)，喂飽了的野獸也一定會(huì)把空桶踢開(kāi)。
For last year's words belong to last year's language
因?yàn)槿ツ甑脑拰儆谌ツ甑恼Z(yǔ)言
And next year's words await another voice.
而來(lái)年的話還在等待另一種語(yǔ)調(diào)。
But, as the passage now presents no hindrance to the spirit unappeased and peregrine between two worlds become much like each other,
但是，對(duì)于來(lái)自異域沒(méi)有得到撫慰的靈魂，在兩個(gè)已變得非常相像的世界之間現(xiàn)在道路已暢通無(wú)阻，
So I find words I never thought to speak in streets I never thought I should revisit when I left my body on a distant shore.
所以當(dāng)我把我的軀體委棄在遙遠(yuǎn)的岸邊以后，我在我從未想到會(huì)重訪的街巷找到了我從未想說(shuō)的話。
Since our concern was speech, and speech impelled us to purify the dialect of the tribe
既然我們關(guān)心的是說(shuō)話，而說(shuō)話又驅(qū)使我們?nèi)ゼ儩嵅孔宓姆窖?/div>
And urge the mind to aftersight and foresight,
并慫恿我們瞻前顧后，
Let me disclose the gifts reserved for age
那么就讓我打開(kāi)長(zhǎng)久保存的禮物
To set a crown upon your lifetime's effort.
褒美你一生的成就。
First, the cold friction of expiring sense without enchantment,
首先，當(dāng)肉體與靈魂開(kāi)始分離時(shí)，即將熄滅的感覺(jué)失去了魅力
offering no promise but bitter tastelessness of shadow fruit
它那冷漠的摩擦不能給你提供任何許諾
As body and soul begin to fall asunder.
而只能是虛妄的果子的苦澀無(wú)味。
Second, the conscious impotence of rage at human folly,
第二，是對(duì)人間的愚行自知表示憤怒的軟弱無(wú)力，
and the laceration of laughter at what ceases to amuse.
以及對(duì)那不再引人發(fā)笑的一切，你的笑聲受到的傷害。
And last, the rending pain of re-enactment of all that you have done, and been;
最后，在重演你一生的作為和扮演的角色時(shí)那撕裂心肺的痛苦；
the shame of motives late revealed, and the awareness of things ill done and done to others' harm
日后敗露的動(dòng)機(jī)所帶來(lái)的羞愧，還有你一度一位是行善之舉，如今覺(jué)察過(guò)去種種全是惡行
Which once you took for exercise of virtue.
全是對(duì)別人的傷害而產(chǎn)生的內(nèi)疚。
Then fools' approval stings, and honour stains.
于是愚人的贊揚(yáng)刺痛你，世間的榮譽(yù)玷污你。
From wrong to wrong the exasperated spirit proceeds, unless restored by that refining fire Where you must move in measure, like a dancer.'
激怒的靈魂從錯(cuò)誤走向錯(cuò)誤除非得到煉火的匡救，因?yàn)橄褚粋€(gè)舞蹈家你必然要隨著節(jié)拍向那兒跳去。”
The day was breaking. In the disfigured street he left me, with a kind of valediction,
天色即將破曉。在這條毀損的街上他帶著永別的神情離開(kāi)了我，
And faded on the blowing of the horn.
消失在汽笛的長(zhǎng)鳴聲中。
