By Elinor Wylie
Let us walk in the white snow
In a soundless space
With footsteps quiet and slow
At a tranquil pace
Under veils of white lace
I shall go shod in silk
And you in wool
White as a white cow's milk
More beautiful
Than the breast of a gull
We shall walk through the still town
In a windless peace
We shall step upon white down
Upon silver fleece
Upon softer than these
We shall walk in velvet shoe
Wherever we go
Silence will fall like dews
On white silence below
We shall walk in the snow
(I'm a shoe, and I presented you this letter
Wish you like it)

草译第一稿:
天鹅绒的鞋
让我们走在白雪地中
走进这一片宁静
步履悠缓细细
轻轻又无声
我们走进白色落丝般的朦胧
我要穿着丝线的鞋子上路
你呢,要穿着羊绒的衣服
白得像奶牛的牛乳
又胜过
那鸥鸟的胸脯
我们要穿过沉静的小城
悄悄的,没有一丝风
我们要踩上白色的羊绒
银色的,软软松松
还有那比这更柔软的一切中
我们穿着天鹅绒的鞋
不论走到哪片街巷和田野
沉寂都会笼盖一切
如露珠向白色沉寂里滑泻
我们要走入这片茫茫白雪
On Friendship
And a youth said, "Speak to us of Friendship."
Your friend is your needs answered.
He is your field which you sow with love and reap with thanksgiving.
And he is your board and your fireside.
For you come to him with your hunger, and you seek him for peace.
When your friend speaks his mind you fear not the "nay" in your own mind, nor do you withhold the "ay."
And when he is silent your heart ceases not to listen to his heart;
For without words, in friendship, all thoughts, all desires, all expectations are born and shared, with joy that is unacclaimed.
When you part from your friend, you grieve not;
For that which you love most in him may be clearer in his absence, as the mountain to the climber is clearer from the plain.
And let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.
For love that seeks aught but the disclosure of its own mystery is not love but a net cast forth: and only the unprofitable is caught.
And let your best be for your friend.
If he must know the ebb of your tide, let him know its flood also.
For what is your friend that you should seek him with hours to kill?
Seek him always with hours to live.
For it is his to fill your need, but not your emptiness.
And in the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures.
For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.
——————The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran
(My first time here, wish you like it! Thanks!)
If You Were Cheated in Life
Alexander Pushkin
If you were cheated in life,
You'd better not be depressed and impatient──
You need calmness in those blue days.
Believe in that
Happiness will come before long,
Always looking forward to the future.
But now you're suffering from the melancholy...
All this is just the twinkling of an eye,
All this will be gone forever,
And that old story
Will remain in your kind memory after all.
另一个版本
If life cheated you,
would not be sad,nor be angry!
Calmness is required in blue days.
Believe that happy days will come soon.
Our hearts are always longing for the future,
but nowadays are always sad.
All the things are temporary, and will elapse instantly,
however, those passed will become adorable memory.
译文相信很多人都看过:假如生活欺骗了你
不要悲伤
不要心急
忧郁的日子里须要镇静
相信吧
?快乐的日子将会来临
心儿永远向往着未来
现在却常是忧郁
忧郁的日子里须要镇静
一切都将会过去
而那过去了的
就会成为亲切的回忆
