歌頌友誼的名詩(shī)：箭與歌

　　Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

　　亨利·沃茲沃斯·朗費(fèi)羅

　　I shot an arrow into the air,

　　我向天空射出一支箭，

　　It fell to earth I knew not where;

　　它飛落在不知何處的地面;

　　For so swiftly it flew the sight,

　　它飛馳得如此迅速，

　　Could not follow it in its flight.

　　沒(méi)有視線能夠跟隨它的腳步。

　　I breathed a song into the air,

　　我向天空輕唱一首歌，

　　It fell to earth I knew not where;

　　它消逝在不知何處的角落;

　　For who has the sight so keen and strong,

　　誰(shuí)的目光能夠如此銳利，

　　That can follow the flight of a song.

　　可以追隨歌聲的旋律。

　　Long,long afterwards in an oak,

　　很久很久以后，在一棵橡樹上，

　　I found the arrow still unbroke;

　　我發(fā)現(xiàn)那支箭依然完好如初;

　　And the song, from beginning to end,

　　而那首歌自始至終，

　　I found again in the heart of a friend.

　　都深深印在一位朋友的心中。
