东海仙子: 冰花诗一首英译（句号）

东海仙子译冰花诗一首英译（句号）

句 号

Full Stop

初见  心慌

Too nervous at the first meeting,

丝巾  滑落地面

I made my silk scarf slide off down to the ground

问号  种进了心田

And a question mark in my heart is found

 

分别  心乱

Confused when saying goodbye,

羞于玩笑  少了寒暄

I was too bashful to banter and greet

问号  悄悄向叹号延伸

And the question mark extended to an exclamation one on the sly

 

何日  再见

When can we meet again？

不怕  人言咸淡

Fearless of gossip

只怕  叹号钻不出

But I do fear that the exclamation mark

句号的圆圈

     Won’t be able to break out of the circle of the full stop

Full Stop

Too nervous at the first meeting,
I made my silk scarf slide off down to the ground
And a question mark in my heart is found

Confused when saying goodbye,
I was too bashful to banter and greet
And the question mark extended to an exclamation one on the sly

When can we meet again？
Fearless of gossip
But I do fear that the exclamation mark
Won’t be able to break out of the circle of the full stop
