The Distances距离

William Stanley Merwin威廉·斯坦利·默温

When you think of the distances

you recall

that we are immortal

you think of them setting out from us

all of them setting out

from us

and none dies and noneis forgotten

and all over the world there are dams

lying on their backs

thinking ofthe sea

你一想到距離

就想起

我们，之间的永恒

你想起距离，都自我们起

所有的距离，都发端于

我们

距离从来消失，也从未淡忘，

就是那四处的堤坝

仰天而躺

思念着海洋

Notes：

1.distance 远处；疏远，隔阂；距离
