第一首是来自W•H•奥登的葬礼蓝调 译者：娜斯

Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.

让直升机在头顶悲旋，
在天空狂草着信息他已逝去，
把黑纱系在信鸽的白颈，
让交通员戴上黑色的手套。

Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
Scribbling on the sky the message He Is Dead,
Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves,
Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.

他曾经是我的东，我的西，我的南，我的北，
我的工作天，我的休息日，
我的正午，我的夜半，我的话语，我的歌吟，
我以为爱可以不朽，我错了。

He was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last forever; I was wrong.

The stars are not wanted now: put out every one;
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun;
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood,
For nothing now can ever come to any good.

嗯 这一首是木心先生的《从前慢》

记得早先少年时
大家诚诚恳恳
说一句 是一句

清早上火车站
长街黑暗无行人
卖豆浆的小店冒着热气

从前的日色变得慢
车，马，邮件都慢
一生只够爱一个人

从前的锁也好看
钥匙精美有样子
你锁了 人家就懂

下面是英译版

Remember young days in the past.
People were sincere and honest.
They honored what they said.
Early morning in the railway station.
Long, dark and empty was the street.
The soybean milk diner was steaming with heat.
Days were slower in the past.
Carriage, horse, and mail did not reach fast.
You need your lifetime to just love the person who is right.
The lock was fine in the past.
The key was exquisite and fit.
You lock and he will get it.
