[英乐英诗] Rupert Brooke：The Soldier 战士

The Soldier 战士

If I should die, think only this of me:
That there's some corner of a foreign field
that is for ever England. There shall be
In that rich earth a richer dust concealed(1);
A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware,
Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam(2),
A body of England's, breathing English air,
Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home.
假使我战死疆场，只请不要忘记：
异国他乡的某处，
将永属英伦。在那片丰饶的土地，
埋藏着一粒更加肥沃的尘土。
它生于英国，在那里成长，并得以启智，
曾爱恋她的鲜花，在她的小路漫步，
流淌着英伦的血液，呼吸着英伦的空气，
在她的河流里濯洗，受着故乡阳光的庇护。

And think, this heart, all evil shed away,
A pulse in the eternal mind(3), no less
Gives somewhere back the thoughts by England given;
Her sights and sounds; dreams happy as her day;
And laughter, learnt of friends; and gentleness,
In hearts at peace, under an English heaven.
请不要忘记：这颗心曾远离一切恶念，
有着不朽的精神，从不吝惜
在所到之处播撒英伦赋予的思想；
传递她的音容笑貌，幸福的甜梦；
回忆友人的欢笑，以及在英伦的
天堂里，平静之心的温柔
