【卧龙译海外逸士英诗集】第三首 《妻》

宛城卧龙

My Wife
I have a doll of a wife,
Who is much younger.
I love her and dote on her
Since she is my lifemate.
I remember I said to her:
If she is sick in bed,
I'll wait on her hand and foot;
But I never have such a chance,
As she is always healthy,
Though we are never wealthy.
Sometimes she is angry with me
Or scolds me for something trifling.
I never resent for it,
For love can show in many ways.
I can still remember
The first day of our dating:
I waited and waited,
But she never showed up.
I decided then and there
I would wait for one exact hour;
If she didn't make her appearance,
She is not destined to be my wife
And I would leave
And never call her again.
As minute hand moved  to the last moment,
There she was, under the shopwindow lights,
That led to wedding,
That gave us a daughter,
That  .  .  .  .  .  .

妻
            海外逸士
我有一位洋娃娃似的娇妻
她较我年轻
我爱她，宠她
自从她成为我的妻
我记得我曾告诉她：
如果她有病在床
我将在她的身边守候
但我从没有这样的机会
她总是健康的
虽然我们并不富有
有时她会生我气
为一些琐事责备我
而我从不愤怒
因为爱有许多种方式
我依然记得
我们第一次约会
我等啊等啊
但她没有出现
我在彼时彼地决定
我再等一小时
如果她不来
她不是我命定中的妻
然后我就离开
永不再联系他
当分针走到最后一刻
她站在那儿，明亮的橱窗下
我们结婚了
有了自己的女儿
然后。。。。。。。。
