为你读诗| 《但是你没有》, 读到最后泪崩了......
这首诗的作者是一位普通的美国妇女,她的丈夫应征去了越南战场,后来阵亡了。她终身守寡,直至年老病逝。她的女儿在整理遗物时发现了母亲当年写给父亲的这首诗。
But you didn t
Remember the day I borrowed your brand new car and dented it?
I thought you d kill me,
But you didn t.
记得那天,我借用你的新车,我撞凹了它
我以为你一定会杀了我的
但是你没有
Do you remember the time I spilled strawberry pie all over your car rug?
I thought you d hit me,
But you didn t.
记得那天,我在你的新车毯上吐了满地的草莓饼
我以为你一定会揍我的
但是你没有
And remember the time I dragged you to the beach, and you said it would rain, and it did.
I thought you d say, 'I told you so.'
But you didn t.
记得那天,我拖你去海滩,而它真如你所说的下了雨
我以为你会说“我早就告诉过你”
但是你没有
Do you remember the time I flirted with all the guys to make you jealous, and you were.
I thought you d leave,
But you didn t.
记得那天,我和所有的男人调情好让你嫉妒,而你真的嫉妒了
我以为你一定会离开我
但是你没有
And remember the time I forgot to tell you the dance was formal and you showed up in jeans?
I thought you d drop me,
But you didn t.
记得那天,我忘了告诉你那个舞会是要穿礼服的,而你却穿了牛仔裤
我以为你一定会扔下我了
但是你没有
Yes, there were lots of things you didn t do.
But you put up with me, and loved me, and protected me.
There were lots of things I wanted to make up to you when you returned from Vietnam.
But you didn t.
是的,有许多事情你都没有做
而你容忍我、钟爱我、保护我
等你从越南回来时,有许多许多的事情我要回报你
但是你没有
