密爾頓給我們開啟了地獄
讓我們看一看.
但丁做了同樣的事.
每個地獄都很獨特.
一個是密爾頓的, 一個是但丁的.
密爾頓寫下了一切他的
人間地獄.
但丁寫下了一切他的
人間地獄.
若你為我開啟你的地獄
而我為你開啟我的地獄
它們將是兩個獨特的地獄,
我們每人都展示我們的
人間地獄.
你的是一個地獄, 我的是另一個地獄.

卡爾.桑德堡

Our Hells

Milton unlocked hell for us
and let us have a look.
Dante did the same.
Each of these hells is special.

One is Milton’s, one Dante’s.
Milton put in all that for him
was hell on earth.
Dante put in all that for him
was hell on earth.
If you unlock your hell for me
And I unlock my hell for you

They will be two special hells,
Each of us showing what for us
is hell on earth.
Yours is one hell, mine another.

Carl Sandburg
