After Apple-Picking
摘蘋果后
Robert Frost
羅伯特·福羅斯特
My long two-pointed ladder's sticking through a tree
長梯穿過樹頂，豎起兩個尖端
Toward heaven still.
刺向沉靜的天穹。
And there's a barrel that I didn't fill
梯子腳下，有一只木桶，
Beside it, and there may be two or three
我還沒把它裝滿，還有兩三個
Apples I didn't pick upon some bough.
蘋果留在枝頭，我還沒摘下。
But I am done with apple-picking now.
但是我已把摘蘋果這活干完了。
Essence of winter sleep is on the night,
四處彌漫著冬眠的氣息。
The scent of apples; I am drowsing off.
那撲鼻的蘋果香：我醺醺欲睡。
I cannot rub the strangeness from my sight
我揉揉眼睛，卻揉不掉眼前的奇觀。
I got from looking through a pane of glass
那是我透過早晨從飲水槽里。
I skimmed this morning from the drinking trough,
撈起的一片冰晶看到的。
And held against the world of hoary grass.
一個霜濃草衰的世界。
It melted, and I let it fall and break.
冰溶了，我由它掉下．碎掉。
But I was well
可是它還沒落地，
Upon my way to sleep before it fell,
我卻幾乎墜入夢鄉。
And I could tell,
我還能說出,
What form my dreaming was about to take.
我的夢境是什么樣。
Magnified apples appear and disappear,
膨脹得碩大無比的蘋果，忽隱忽現，
Stem end and blossom end,
一頭是枝莖，一頭是花朵，
And every fleck of russet showing clear.
每個紅褐色的斑點，都清晰可見。
