原文在這哦： When You Are Old 《當(dāng)你老了》 ——William Butler Yeats When you are old and grey and full of sleep, and nodding by the fire, take down this book, and slowly read, and dream of the soft look, your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep; 當(dāng)你老了，頭發(fā)花白，睡意沉沉，倦坐在爐邊，取下這本書來，慢慢讀著，追夢當(dāng)年的眼神, 那柔美的神采與深幽的暈影。 How many loved your moments of glad grace, and loved your beauty with love false or true. But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you, and loved the sorrows of your changing face; and bending down beside the glowing bars. Murmur, a little sadly, how love fled, and paced upon the mountains overhead, and hid his face amid a crowd of stars. 多少人愛過你青春的片影，愛過你的美貌，以虛偽或是真情，惟獨(dú)一人愛你那朝圣者的心，愛你哀戚的臉上歲月的留痕。在爐柵邊，你彎下了腰，低語著，帶著淺淺的傷感，愛情是怎樣逝去，又怎樣步上群山，怎樣在繁星之間藏住了臉。 　　 nodding v. 打盹; 打瞌睡(nod的現(xiàn)在分詞); soft adj. 溫和的，柔和的 shadows n. 陰影( shadow的名詞復(fù)數(shù) ); 影子 grace n. 恩澤; 優(yōu)雅; 慈悲; 魅力 pilgrim n. 香客，朝圣者; 旅行者; 追尋者 sorrows n. 悲痛( sorrow的名詞復(fù)數(shù) ); 遺憾; 不幸的事 bending down 俯身，屈身; （使）折下; glowing adj. 灼熱的，灼熾的 murmur vi. 發(fā)出連續(xù)而低沉的聲音; 私下抱怨 paced v. 踱步于，走動(dòng)( pace的過去式和過去分詞 )
