聊聊吧

罗伯特·弗罗斯特

翻译：潘学峰

当一个朋友从路上喊我              
他放慢马的步伐，              
我不停地环顾四周              
没锄过的群山，              
并站在原地喊话，谁呀？            
不，不是因为我有空聊天。              
我把锄头插进松软的土地，              
歇锄，五尺高的石墙，              
费劲啊：我爬上              
去善意寻他。

A time to talk

Robert Frost

When a friend calls to me from the road
And slows his horse to a meaning walk,
I don't stand still and look around
On all the hills I haven't hoed,
And shout from where I am, What is it?
No, not as there is a time to talk.
I thrust my hoe in the mellow ground,
Blade-end up and five feet tall,
And plod: I go up to the stone wall
For a friendly visit.
