【英诗鉴赏】Success

Toyger

Success
by Emily Dickinson

Success is counted sweetest
By those who ne'er succeed.
To comprehend a nectar
Requires sorest need.

Not one of all the purple host
Who took the flag today
Can tell the definition,
So clear, of victory,

As he, defeated, dying,
On whose forbidden ear
The distant strains of triumph
Break, agonized and clear.

Toyger

成功的滋味

????????????只有总是失败的人们，
????????????才能懂得成功的滋味，
????????????何为琼浆玉液，
????????????最干渴的时候最有体会。

????????????浩浩荡荡，获胜的军队，
????????????斩将夺旗，个个耀武扬威；
????????????可是，说不清胜利的含义，
????????????道不明成功的真髓。

????????????失败的战士奄奄一息，
????????????临终的耳朵最为敏锐，
????????????远处清晰的凯旋乐曲，
????????????把一颗心彻底粉碎。

恭喜你找到这儿，不过你要找的神秘人已经不在这里了，据说他去了海外。什么，你问我海外是哪里？难道你不知道家园扩张了么？
