经典英文赏析：给少女的劝告

TO THE VIRGINS, TO MAKE MUCH OF TIME   Robert Herrick (1591-1674)

Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,

Old time is still a-flying:

And this same flower that smiles today

Tomorrow will be dying

The glorious lamp of heaven, the sun,

The higher hes a-getting,

The sooner will his race be run,

And nearer he""s to setting.

That age is best which is the first,

When youth and blood are warmer;

But being spent, the worse, and worst

Times still succeed the former.

Then be nor coy, but use your time,

And while ye may, go marry:

For having lost but once your prime,

You may for ever tarry.

[ 英 ] 罗伯特 . 赫里克

要摘玫瑰得趁早，

岁月在催人老：

花儿今天在含笑，

明天就会残凋。

太阳是天上华灯，

它正冉冉升空。

越高越快到终点，

越高越近黄昏。

豆蔻年华最美好，

青春热血方盛。

虚度光阴每况下，

时间永不停留。

抓紧时机别害羞，

早嫁个意中人，

青春一去不回头
