无意翻到匹夫教授四年前的一首旧诗。记得当时就很喜欢并曾匆匆译为英文。今日又见，感到英译实在粗糙，对原诗不公。遂作改动并再贴。原诗附在下面。

You came into my life out of nowhere
When I was unprepared as ever.
Overwhelmed with joy but then I heard you whisper
“I must leave.” There goes my rapture.

Leave if you must
Why then woke up my heart,
Safe in a guarded fortress,
Perfectly content and in peace?

Leave if you must
Why then defer and wait?
Why not leave tomorrow or the day after,
Why stay until near in our collective future? 

Leave if you must
Forever or for a moment
Countless is love. Lasting or transient,
Its immensity is measured only by the degree it’s lived.

Short as it may seem
Tonight, I’ll sleep in your arms and dream
A moment is eternal, unbounded
And infinite if seized.

原文

无常乃常

作者：pifu01

从来就没有准备好
你却突然来到
我喜悦的情绪还没有沉静下来
你低声的诉说
你需要离开

离开也就罢了
你却痴说着爱
一千年也不想动的心
就这么蠢蠢起来

离开也就罢了
却定在一个不太遥远的未来
不是今天
不是明天
是--我们的未来

但是你要离开
生死或者是一刹
或者是。。。
未来。

无常乃常
今夜
就让我枕着你的胳膊
安然做一个短短的梦
