我曾那般爱着春天

    夏洛特·玛丽·缪

   我曾那般爱着春天，去年

   因为有你，还有歌鸫

   你是那般爱着它的婉啭

   我是那般爱着你

   今年的春天不同于去年

   我将不再把你思念，但我依然

   爱着春天，因为它纯粹

   恰似歌鸫一般

   I So Liked Spring

   I so liked Spring last year

   Because you were here;

   The thrushes too

   Because it was these you so liked to hear

   I so liked you.

   This year’s a different thing,

   I’ll not think of you.

   But I’ll like Spring because it is simply Spring

   As the thrushes do.

    （By Charlotte Mary Mew）

   翻译小注：

   关于Thrush，英英牛津大辞典里如此注释：

   a small or medium-sized songbird with a brown back an spotted breast.

   Oringin Old english, related to throstle.

   德语它叫Drossel，跟throstle显而易见一个老祖宗。

   如果英汉和德汉词典没有搞错的话，Thrush或Drossel中文应该叫作（歌）鸫或（乌）鸫。
