惠特曼的诗

惠特曼诗歌The Beasts的最后一句

原诗：

Walt Whitman《The Beasts》

I think I could turn and live with animals,they are self-contained.
I stand and look at them long and long.
They do not sweat and whine about their condition;
They do not lie awake in the dark and weep for the sins;
They do not make me sick discussing their duty to God;
Not one is dissatisfied,not one is demented with the mania of owning things.
Not one kneels to another,nor to his kind that lived thousands of years ago.
Not one is respectable and industrious over the whole earth.

译文：

惠特曼《野兽》

我希望我能变成鸟兽,能和它们相处，

它们是那么的宁静，那样的知足。

我伫立着，久久地凝望着它们。

它们不会劳碌无度，也不杞人忧天，

它们不会在黑夜中惊醒，为自己的罪过哭泣，

也不会喋喋不休地讨论令人茫然的

对上帝的义务，

没有一个贪得无厌，

没有一个有疯狂的占有欲，

没有一个向另一个屈膝，

也不向几千年前的祖宗跪拜

在整个地球上没有一个有特殊身份，

也没有一个忧郁寡欢。
