火与冰

Fire and Ice

弗罗斯特

Robert Frost

有人说世界将毁于烈火，

Some say the world will end in fire,

有人说毁于冰。

Some say in ice.

我对于欲望体味得够多，

From what I've tasted of desire

所以我赞同这意见：毁于火。

I hold with those who favor fire.

但如果世界须两次沉沦，

But if it had to perish twice,

那么对憎恨我懂得深切，

I think I know enough of hate

我会说，论破坏力量，冰

To say that for destruction ice

也同样酷烈，

Is also great

足能胜任。

And would suffice .
