No one's despair is like my despair—

没人的绝望象我的一般—

You have no place in this garden

在这花园中没有你想那种事，

thinking such things, producing

制造向外标志的地方；显然

the tiresome outward signs; the man

那男人铲除整个一片森林，

pointedly weeding an entire forest,

那女人拖拖沓沓，拒绝换衣服

the woman limping, refusing to change

或洗她的头发。

clothes

or wash her hair.

难道你以为我在乎

如果你跟另一个人交谈？

Do you suppose I care

可我的意思是让你知道

if you speak to one another?

我期望两个更好的生物

But I mean you to know

被赋予了头脑；不然

I expected better of two creatures

你们实际上会互相关照

who were given minds: if not

至少你们会理解

that you would actually care for each

悲伤被分摊

other

在你俩之间，在你所有的仁慈里面，

at least that you would understand

对于我去认识你，就如深蓝

grief is distributed

标记着野海葱，白色标记着

between you, among all your kind, for

木紫罗兰。

me

to know you, as deep blue

marks the wild scilla, white

the wood violet.
