作品原文
林徽因 《深夜听到乐声》
这一定又是你的手指，
轻弹着，
在这深夜，稠密的悲思。
我不禁颊边泛上了红，
静听着，
这深夜里弦子的生动。
一声叫从我心底穿过，
太凄凉
我懂得，但我怎能应和？
生命早描定她的式样，
太薄弱
是人们的美丽的想象。
除非在梦里有这么一天，
你和我
同来攀动那根希望的弦。
英文译文
Music I Heard Late at Night
Lin Huiyin
Again, this must be your finger
Playing gently the melody of your sorrow and yearning
Late at night.
I listen quietly,
With cheeks flushed,
To the liveliness of the strings.
A sound passes through my heart,
—So miserable,
I understand, but can not respond.
Life is destined for what it is.
Too frail
Is the imagination of man;
Unless one day in dream
You and I
Pluck together the strings of hope.
