The Orange

桔子


by Wendy Cope

温迪·可普


At lunchtime I bought a huge orange —

午饭时我买来一个特大的桔子


The size of it made us all laugh.

大得令我们全都发笑。


I peeled and shared it with Robert and Dave —

我剥了皮,跟罗伯特和戴维分着吃


They got quarters and I had a half.

他俩各吃四分之一,我吃了一半。


And that orange, it made me so happy,

那个桔子,真是让我开心


As ordinary things often do

就像最近,我时常开心于那些


Just lately. The shopping. A walk in the park.

平凡的事情。购物。在公园散步。


This is peace and contentment. It’s new.

这便是平静和满足。但很新鲜。


The rest of the day was quite easy.

那天剩下的时光都很惬意。


I did all the jobs on my list

我做完了清单上所有的活计,


And enjoyed them and had some time over.

享受那一切,并打发时间。


I love you. I'm glad I exist.

我爱你。我很开心我活着。


艾玛·沃森朗诵的这首小诗,是英国女诗人温迪·可普(Wendy Cope)的作品。



Wendy Cope was raised in Kent, England, where her parents often recited poetry out loud to her. She has published several volumes of poetry including Making Cocoa for Kingsley Amis and Serious Concerns

温迪·可普生于英格兰肯特郡,父母常为她大声朗诵诗歌。她出版了《为金斯利·阿米斯生产可可》和《深切关注》等诗卷。


温迪·可普善于捕捉生活中的小细节,把那些平凡琐碎都写成了温柔的诗歌。


其实,日常生活中,也有很多令我们突然感到一阵幸福的瞬间。双语君(微信ID:Chinadaily_Mobile)为大家盘点下,看看哪条戳中了你。



▌和喜欢的人睡前微信聊天,名称的位置显示“对方正在输入”,知道这一刻的两个人在共享彼此的时光(特别是异地恋)。

Finding the exact change in your pocket for the thing you want to buy.


▌幸福就是夜深人静的时候独自在灯下看一本好书,偶然间读到的一句话触动了内心最纤细的神经,无意中的一抬头,发现橘红色的灯光柔柔地铺满房间。

Reading a good book by lamp light in the dead of night as the room is bathed in a soft yellow glow.
