Acquainted with the Night

Robert Frost

I have been one acquainted with the night.
I have walked out in rain—and back in rain.
I have outwalked the furthest city light.

I have looked down the saddest city lane.
I have passed by the watchman on his beat
And dropped my eyes, unwilling to explain.

I have stood still and stopped the sound of feet
When far away an interrupted cry
Came over houses from another street,

But not to call me back or say good-bye;
And further still at an unearthly height,
One luminary clock against the sky

Proclaimed the time was neither wrong nor right.
I have been one acquainted with the night.







熟知黑夜

罗伯特·弗罗斯特

我已经是熟知黑夜的人。
我在雨中出门——又在雨中归来。
我曾走至城市最远的灯光之外。

我看过城市里最伤感的小巷。
我经过巡夜者身边，
眉眼下垂，无意搭讪。

我静静站着，不发出一点声响，
当远处一声被打断的喊叫
从另一条街的上方传来，

却不是喊我回头或与我道别；
更远处，在一个神秘的高处，
一只钟闪亮在天际，

它宣布：时间没有对错。
我已经熟知这黑夜。

I have looked down the saddest city lane.
I have passed by the watchman on his beat
And dropped my eyes, unwilling to explain.


我看过城市里最伤感的小巷。
我经过巡夜者身边，
眉眼下垂，无意搭讪。
