羅伯˙伯朗寧 - 翻譯

這是依麗莎白˙伯朗寧給姊姊家書中的一段，因為用在歌詞裡，所以有「/」的
分段記號。本版之前的戰男女翻譯不少，換個溫馨的超級閃光彈。 ●^●a

And now I begin to wonder naturally whether I may not be/Some sort of a real
angel after all.
很自然地我開始在想，到最後或許我並不是跟什麼真的天使一樣

It is not so bad a thing, be sure, for a woman/To be loved by a man of
imagination.
當然，一個女人有個充滿想像力的男人來愛她並不是件壞事

He loves her through a lustrous atmosphere/Which not only keeps back the
faults but produces/Continual novelty through its own changes.
他在輝煌燦爛的氣氛下愛著她，不只排拒除去了她所有的缺失，還因著這氛圍的改變而不
斷產生出新意

If ever a being of a higher order lived among us/Without a glory round his
head . . . he is such a being.
要是真的有比我們崇高、但頭上不戴榮光的人活在我們之間的話（意指不是天使，而是活
生生的人）──他就是這個人

I feel to have the power of making him happy . . ./I feel to have it in my
hands.
我感覺我有那力量讓他幸福快樂…我覺得這在我掌握之中

It is strange that anyone so brilliant should love me,/But true and strange
it is . . . it is impossible for me to/doubt it anymore.
好奇怪，這麼一個聰明出色的人會愛上我，但無論或真實或詭異，我，我再也無法繼續懷
疑他的存在了

Here am I, in the seventh year of marriage,/Happier than on the seventh day!
在我人生的此刻，婚姻進入第七年，卻比結婚第七天時還要快樂！

The love not only stays, but grows.
這愛不僅僅存活了下來，還在不斷成長、擴大、變深

He rises on me hour by hour and I am/Bound to him indeed with all the cords
of my heart.
他在我心目中的重要與時俱增；而我，所有的心弦都緊緊相纏著他不放，無法脫身

And Papa thinks that I have sold my soul–/For genius . . . mere genius!
呵，爸爸認為我出賣了靈魂──為了個天才…就只是天才！



...墨鏡可以拿掉──這世界又安全了。 XD
