英語詩歌欣賞 成功
Success
成功
Success is counted sweetest
By those who ne’er succeed.
To comprehend a nectar
Requires sorest need.
從未成功的人們
認為成功最甜蜜
要領略仙酒的滋味
須經最痛楚的尋覓
Not one of all the purple Host
Who took the Flag today
Can tell the definition
So clear of victory.
紫袍華衰的諸公
如今執掌著大旗
他們誰也說不清
勝利的確切含義
As the defeated-dying
On whose forbidden ear
The distant strains of
Burst agonized triumph and clear!
只有垂死的`戰敗者
失去聽覺的耳朵裡
才迸出遙遠的凱旋歌
如此痛切而清晰
