精美英文欣赏:仰望星空(W.H.奥登)(在线收听

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。

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.
