Love and Friendship

愛情和友誼

by Emily Bronte

作者：艾米莉·勃朗

Love is like the wild rose-briar. Friendship like the holly-tree.

愛情就像野玫瑰，友情卻如冬青樹。

The holly is dark when the rose-briar blooms. But which will bloom most constantly?

玫瑰開花時冬青黯無光，但究竟誰能堅持更久長?

The wild-rose briar is sweet in the spring. Its summer blossoms scent the air;

春天野玫瑰燦爛開放，夏日里玫瑰把風兒薰香。

Yet wait till winter comes again. And who will call the wild-briar fair?

但當嚴冬再次來臨之時，誰還會贊美野玫瑰的美麗?

Then scorn the silly rose-wreath now. And deck thee with the holly’s sheen.

那時你不屑于枯萎的玫瑰，而用冬青的光彩將你裝扮。

That when December blights thy brow. He may still leave thy garland green.

當十二月的嚴寒襲上你的眉頭，你的冬青花環依舊綠意盎然。
