他的妻子。四十年来他都在画她。

His wife. Forty years he painted her.

一遍又一遍。最后一幅画中的裸体

Again and again. The nude in the last painting

与第一幅画中的同样年轻。他的妻子

the same young nude as the first. His wife

正如他所记起她的年轻。正如她曾有的年轻。

As he remembered her young. As she was young.

她妻子在她的浴室。在她的梳妆台

His wife in her bath. At her dressing table

镜子的前面。不着寸缕。

in front of the mirror. Undressed.

他的妻子双手放在胸乳之下

His wife with her hands under her breasts

望向外边的花园。

looking out on the garden.

那太阳赐下暖意与光彩。

The sun bestowing warmth and color.

每一个生灵都在此萌发。

Every living thing in bloom there.

她青春且颤动且最令人渴求。

She young and tremulous and most desirable.

当她死去，他画得更久了一些。

When she died, he painted a while longer.

一些风景画。然后也死去。

A few landscapes. Then died.

被埋放在她的旁边。

And was put down next to her.

他年轻的妻子。

His young wife.
