英文诗歌欣赏：第一天

I wish I could remember the first day,　　

First hour, first moment of your meeting me,　　

If bright or dim the season,　

It might be summer or winter for aught I can say.　　

So unrecorded did it slip away,　　

So blind was I to see and foresee,　　

So dull to mark the budding of my tree　

That would not blossom yet for many a May.　

If only I could recollect1 it,　　

Such a day of days!　

Let it come and go as traceless as a thaw2 of bygone snow;　

It seemed to mean so little, meant so much;　

If only now I could reed that touch,　　

First touch of hand in hand-Did one but know!

只因我疏忽大意,它悄然流逝不留痕迹,　

只因我茫然无知，不曾留意亦未能预知,　

只因我不以为然，未曾看到小树　

过去了一个又一个五月，花儿都没有绽放。　

多希望我能记住它,　

那时光中的一日!我却放任它　

如融雪般全然消逝；　

它现在看似无足轻重,其实当时意味深长；　

多希望我能重温那感觉,

第一次牵手的感觉——可我那时不懂啊!
