狄金森双语诗歌:我当然祈祷过

我当然祈祷过

我当然祈祷过——

可上帝在乎吗？

在他眼中这不过是

空中的鸟，跺了跺脚——

大喊着“给我”——

生存的理由——

我不曾有过，若不是因为你——

将我留在原子的坟墓里——

快乐，虚无，欢愉，麻木——

比起这锥心的痛苦

已是一种仁慈。

Of Course—I prayed

Of Course—I prayed—

And did God Care?

He cared as much as on the Air

A Bird—had stamped her foot—

And cried “Give Me”—

My Reason—Life—

I had not had—but for Yourself—

’Twere better Charity

To leave me in the Atom’s Tomb—

Merry, and Nought, and gay, and numb—

Than this smart Misery.
