我啜饮过生活的甘醇——
并告诉你我的代价——
不多不少，用尽一生——
这是市价，他们说。
他们精微地测量过我——
锱铢较量，分毫不差，
再赐予我我生命之分量——
一滴天堂的琼浆！
I took one Draught of Life—
I’ll tell you what I paid—
Precisely an existence—
The market price, they said.
They weighed me, Dust by Dust—
They balanced Film with Film,
Then handed me my Being’s worth—
A single Dram of Heaven!
