诗歌欣赏：吃惊(郭沫若译)

Eyes are tired；the lamp burns，and in its circle of light papers and books lie where chance and life have placed them.

    Silence sings all around me；my head is bound with a band；outside in the street a few footsteps；a clock strikes the hour.

    I gaze， and my eyes close，slowly：

    I doze¹； but the moment before sleep，a voice calls my name in my ear，and the shock jolts² my heart：but when I open my eyes，and look， first left， and then right ……

    no one is there.

    吃惊

    眼睛疲倦了，洋灯点着，在那光圈里面纸张和书本瘫着在偶然放置处，任意狼藉着。

    无声在我周围唱歌；我的头缠着带子；外边街道上有些脚步声；钟在报道时辰。

    我凝视，眼又闭着慢慢地；

    我打瞌睡；但快入睡时分，有声音叫我的名字，进了我的耳，我吃了一惊：但当我睁开两眼，我先左顾而后右盼……

    没有一个人。
