Dream Deferred 延迟的梦
-Langston Hughes兰斯顿·休斯
译/李景琪·猎人hunter560 (2007年7月)
What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up
Like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore--
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over--
like a syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.
Or does it explode?
延迟的梦会发生什么?
它会像阳光下的葡萄干
脱水晒干?
或像伤口化脓—
再溃烂?
它像腐肉发臭?
或像甜蜜的糖果
有糖衣包裹?
可能它像个重负,
只是下垂。
抑或它会爆炸?
