回忆浑如失忆期，不如失忆淡忘之。 忘情正值萦回际，止水偏逢隐没时。 眷顾深深如吮蜜，哀伤淡淡似含饴。 轻弹玉指何酣畅，撷满欢愉念在兹。
美国诗人艾米莉•伊丽莎白•狄金森（EmilyElizabeth Dickinson，1830-1886），文学史上称其为“默斯特的女尼”，她诗风凝炼，譬喻新奇，被视为现代派诗人的先驱。短诗Ifrecollecting were forgetting节奏欢快优美，寓意丰富，发人深省。 我尝试以七律形式译出。此译的许多重字乃故意为之，以造成回环往复的效果。因为原诗也有许多重字。
英文原诗：
If recollecting were forgetting By Emily Dickinson
If recollecting were forgetting, Then I remember not. And if forgetting, recollecting, How near I had forgot. And if to miss, were merry, And to mourn, were gay, How very blithe the fingers That gathered this, Today! |
