　　John Keats

　　When I have fears that I may cease to be Before my pen has gleaned my teeming brain,

　　每當(dāng)我害怕生命或許就要止息， 我的筆來不及苦集盈溢的思緒，

　　Before high piled books, in charactery, Hold like rich garners the full-ripened grain;

　　或把文字變?yōu)楦吒叨哑鸬臅?像飽貯的谷倉蓄滿成熟的谷米;

　　When I behold, upon the night’s starred face, Huge cloudy symbols of a high romance,

　　每當(dāng)我看見那綴滿繁星的夜景， 巨大星云畫出非凡的傳奇幻像，

　　And think that I may never live to trace Their shadows, with the magic hand of chance;

　　想到即使運氣幫忙，對我垂青， 生前或許也無法追摹這些云影;

　　And when I feel, fair creature of an hour! That I shall never look upon thee more,

　　每當(dāng)我感到那瞬間即逝的美顏， 也許從今以后再也不可能看見，

　　Never have relish in the faery power Of unreflecting love;

　　更無法享受輕松愛情魔力若仙

　　—then on the shore Of the wide world I stand alone,

　　——于是，在廣袤世界的崖岸， 我形孤影單地佇立，

　　and think Till Love and Fame to nothingness do sink.

　　細細思量， 直到愛與聲名沉入烏有的穹蒼。
