政治照朗 译

"In our time the destiny of man presents its meaning in political terms."
——Thomas Mann.

“在我们的时代,人类的命运通过政治术语展现其意义。”
——托马斯·曼


How can I, that girl standing there,
当那女孩站立此处,我怎能
My attention fix
将思绪与
On Roman or on Russian
罗马或俄罗斯
Or on Spanish politics,
或西班牙的政局混同。
Yet there's a travelled man that knows
那儿虽有一位旅行者熟稔
What he talks about,
他所讲的故事
And there's a politician
还有一位政治家
That has read and thought,
也曾饱读深思
And maybe what they say is true
或许他们所言不虚
Of war and war's alarms,
有关战争与警号,
But O that I were young again
可是,噢,我只愿青春重现
And held her in my arms.
将她拥入怀抱。
