Fire and Ice

Some say the world will end in fire,

Some say in ice.

From what I’ve tasted of desire，

I hold with those who favor [1] fire.

But if it had to perish [2] twice,

I think I know enough of hate

To know that for destruction ice

Is also great

and would suffice

火與冰

有人說世界將結(jié)束于熊熊烈焰，

有人則說結(jié)束于凜凜寒冰。

欲望如火，體會(huì)其烈，

則知世之歸于火為我所愿。

但若其必兩度遭逢毀滅，

我知恨之極至，

必然明了，毀滅之冰，

同樣魁偉，

同樣順人心意。
