【试译】《正是去年此时，我死去》狄金森

Twas just this time,last year,I died.

正是去年此时，我死去。

I know I heard the Corn,

我知道我听见了谷粒声

When I was carried by the Farms-

当我被原野的农场带走

It had the Tassels on-

谷粒的麦穗已然抽出

I thought how yellow it would look-

When Richard went to mill-

当理查德将其送去碾碎时

我试想它该有多么金黄

And then,I wanted to get out,

于是我想要钻出

But something held my will.

然而是什么抑制了我的欲望

I thought just how Red-Apples wedged

The Stubble's joints between-

我试想在接连的残梗之间

拥挤的苹果是怎样的红

And the Carts went stooping round the fields

货运马车在田野间来回弯腰

To take the Pumpkins in-

想将这些南瓜收捡

I wondered which would miss me,least,

我不知还会有谁来思念我

And when Thanksgiving,came,

当感恩节降临的时候

If Father'd multiply the plates-

To make an even Sum-

父亲会不会多增加几道菜

分给我一份

And would it blur the Christmas glee

My stocking hang too high

For any Santa Claus to reach

The Altitude of me-

由于我的袜子挂的太高

这高度对任何圣诞老人来说都难以得到

这会不会有损圣诞节的欢愉

But this sort,grieved myself,

但是这样的想法使我苦恼

And so,I thought the other way,

于是我想了另一种方法

How just this time,some perfect year-

Themself,should come to me-

某个完美的一夜，什么时候

他们自己来向我们聚会
