狄金森：毫无疑问为了他们生在今天我们兴高采烈

 1191. 毫无疑问为了他们生在今天我们兴高采烈

（美）狄金森

舒啸 译

毫无疑问为了他们生在今天我们兴高采烈

其实他们生活的每一天都是我们高贵的佳节

如同意识或是永生，超越了日期年月 -

（J1156 / Fr1191）

译记：狄金森送给挚友苏珊的40岁生日礼物。苏珊比艾米莉小9天。

诗人先是表示她很高兴这一天是好友的生日。然后说其实好友生活的每一天对于她都是要庆祝的佳节，无论那个日期都是一样，就像无可不在的意识，或永恒常在的永生。

Dickinson 原诗：

“Lest any doubt that we are glad that they were born Today”

Lest any doubt that we are glad that they were born Today

Whose having lived is held by us in noble Holiday

Without the date, like Consciousness or Immortality —

（J1156 / Fr1191）
