经典英语诗歌译文：舞台之爱

& i: E, a+ \2 J, S+ f　　When the game began between them for a jest,
　　He played king and she played queen to match the best;
6 C1 A; r( P+ V4 U1 L6 m　　Laughter soft as tears, and tears that turned to laughter,
　　These were things she sought for years and sorrowed after.
) {5 K, |9 v) ~　　Pleasure with dry lips, and pain that walks by night;
/ x  G' Z/ c% d7 V4 ~" i　　All the sting and all the stain of long delight;
　　These were things she knew not of, that knew not of her,
+ ~& m+ n& r  M+ s' _　　When she played at half a love with half a lover.
0 Y8 L5 q: N" d+ I% C; _( b4 |- Y& s; e　　Time was chorus, gave them cues to laugh or cry;
　　They would kill, befool, amuse him, let him die;
　　Set him webs to weave to-day and break to-morrow,
# B8 O% D+ `6 X/ S2 X4 b　　Till he died for good in play, and rose in sorrow.
* c+ ?2 X* j9 E* j& C　　What the years mean; how time dies and is not slain;
　　How love grows and laughs and cries and wanes again;
　　These were things she came to know, and take their measure,
　　When the play was played out so for one man’s pleasure.

　　他在剧中真的死去,落幕后他满脸热泪。
　　时光易逝时光无限谁能品出真味?
　　爱情怎样滋长、欢笑、痛哭又消退?
  a3 H; e2 |4 i& q2 L- ~" P　　这一切她开始懂得,开始用心思量,
　　当取悦一位男士的演出到此收尾。
