The More Loving One
用情更深者
Wystan Hugh Auden
威斯坦·休·奥登
Looking up at the stars, I know quite well
That, for all they care, I can go to hell,
But on earth indifference is the least
We have to dread from man or beast.
仰望星辰,一清二楚
纵下地狱,也与它们无关
而尘世间最不用惧怕的
是来自人或兽的冷淡
How should we like it were stars to burn
With a passion for us we could not return?
If equal affection cannot be,
Let the more loving one be me.
奈何?星辰燃烧
倾情,我们无以为报
倘若感情不能对等
我岂能用情更少
Admirer as I think I am
