Defeat 失败

Anonymous 佚名

参考翻译（高昆）

Defeat, my Defeat, my solitude and my aloofness; you are dearer to me than a thousand triumphs, and sweeter to my heart than all world glory.

失败，我的失败，我的孤寂与冷漠；对我来说，你比一千次胜利更珍贵，而对我的心灵来说，你要比所有的荣耀都甜美。

Defeat, my Defeat, my self-knowledge and my defiance, through you I know that I am yet young and swift of foot, and not to be trapped by withering laurels. And in you I have found aloneness and the joy of being shunned and scorned.

失败，我的失败，我的自知与反抗，通过你，我知道我还步伐矫捷，宝刀未老，还没被干枯的月桂所捕获。和你独处，我领悟了孤独，品尝到了被遗弃和被嘲笑的欢乐。

Defeat, my Defeat, my shining sword and shield, in your eyes I have read: That to be enthroned is to be enslaved, and to be understood is to be levelled down, and to be grasped is but to reach one's fullness, and like a ripe fruit to fall and be consumed.

失败，我的失败，我光芒四射的长剑与盾牌，从你眼中，我读出：登基为王就像钻入牢笼，被了解就像被拉下水，被抓牢就像熟透的水果掉落下来被人吃掉一样。

Defeat, my Defeat, my bold companion, you shall hear my songs and my cries and my silences, and none but you shall speak to me of the beating of wings, and urging of seas, and of mountains that burn in the night, and you alone shall climb my steep and rocky soul.

失败，我的失败，我勇敢的伙伴，你会听到我的高歌、低泣和沉默，也会跟我谈起羽翼翱翔、大海澎湃、山脉在黑夜里燃烧，以开启我那尘封已久的心灵。

Defeat, my Defeat, my deathless courage, you and I shall laugh together with the storm, and together we shall dig graves for all that die in us, and we shall stand in the sun with a will, and we shall be dangerous.

失败，我的失败，我不灭的勇气，你我将在暴风雨中狂笑，我们也将为我们当中所有逝去的人掘墓；我们会坚定地站在太阳下，我们也会身处险境。

失败可以让人不必再去冒险，因为失败的人几乎没有什么再可以失去的了……
