A Patch of Old Snow

*翻譯 Robert Frost 的詩。

There's a patch of old snow in a corner

    That I should have guessed

Was a blow-away paper the rain

    Had brought to rest.

一片殘雪歇角落，

    我該早已猜出來：

風吹走的白紙，雨

    細心把它哄到乖。

It is speckled with grime as if

    Small print overspread it,

The news of a day I’ve forgotten—

    If I ever read it.

它沾滿塵垢，彷彿

   上面鋪滿小字跡。

我忘記的舊新聞，

   真的看過也難憶。
