The More Loving One
W.H.Auden
Looking up at the stars, I know quite well ,
That， for all they care, I can go to hell,
But on earth indifference is the least ,
We have to dread from man or beast.
How should we like it were stars to burn ,
With a passion for us we could not return？
If equal affection cannot be,
Let the more loving one be me.
Admirer as I think I am ,
Of stars that do not give a damn,
I cannot, now I see them , say
I missed one terribly all day.
Were all stars to disappear or die,
I should learn to look at an empty sky ,
And feel its total dark sublime,
Though this might take me a little time.

让我们成为更有爱心的人
W.H.奥登
仰望群星的时分，我一清二楚，
带着他们所有的关怀，我可以下地狱
可是尘世间（像我一样）被冷漠的人地位是最低的（快乐英语屋：www.ahnnh.com）
我们畏惧人类或禽兽。
我们怎么样才能像星星一样燃烧，
给我们激情，我们却无以为报吗？
如果没有相等的爱，
让我成为更有爱心的人。
我想我是仰慕者
虽然星星们满不在乎，
现在我看群星，我却难以启齿，
说我成天思念一颗星星。
倘若所有的星星消失或者消亡，
我应该学会仰望空荡的天空，
同时感受天空一片漆黑的崇高，
虽然这样可能要花费一点时间。
