也許｜pERHAPS
懷抱中的你⋯⋯
You, in my arms……
聞一多（一八九九年至一九四六年，詩人及學者）－《也許》（葬歌，一九二六年）：
Wen Yiduo (1899-1946, poet and scholar) – “Perhaps” (The Funeral Song, 1926):
也許你真是哭得太累，
也許，也許你要睡一睡，
那麼叫夜鷹不要咳嗽，
蛙不要號，蝙蝠不要飛。
Perhaps you are really too tIRED from crying,
Perhaps, perhaps you need a nAP，
Then ask nighthawks not to cough,
Frogs not to croak, bats not to fly.
不許陽光撥你的眼簾，
不許清風刷上你的眉，
無論誰都不能驚醒你，
撐一傘松蔭庇護你睡。
Don’t allow the sunlight to poke your eyes,
Don’t allow the fresh breeze to brush your eyebrows,
No matter who it is, no one can aWAKEN you,
Hold an umbrella of pine shade to sHELTER you to sleep.
