W. B. Yeats - Vacillation (V) 汉译

Although the summer Sunlight gild<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

Cloudy leafage of the sky,

Or wintry moonlight sink the field

In storm-scattered intricacy,

I cannot look thereon,

Responsibility so weighs me down.

Things said or done long years ago,

Or things I did not do or say

But thought that I might say or do,

Weigh me down, and not a day

But something is recalled,

My conscience or my vanity appalled.

踌躇（五）

威廉·巴特勒·叶芝

虽然夏日的阳光给天空

云彩的叶子镀金，

或冬日的月光使田野沉没

在风暴播撒的纷乱之中，

我无法观看，

但是责任如此把我压倒。

多年前说过或做过的事情，

或我没有做过或说过

但认为我可能说或做的事情，

把我压倒，没有一天

不回想起什么事情，

我的良心或虚荣心不受到惊吓。
