[导读]很简单很警世的一首小诗，一如狄金森自身的真实写照：多无聊－－身为赫赫显要！/多招摇－－不过像只青蛙/向一片仰慕的泥沼/整日里炫耀自己的名号！

确实，做一个小人物，平淡的幸福，又有什么不好的呢～～



I'm nobody

Emily Dickinson

I'm nobody! Who are you?

Are you nobody, too?

Then there's a pair of us -don't tell!

They'd banish us, you know.



How dreary to be somebody!

How public, like a frog

To tell your name the livelong day

To an admiring bog!



[注释]

banish：To drive away; expel:赶走；排除

dreary：Boring; dull:令人生厌的；单调乏味的：

eg：dreary tasks.

枯燥的任务

somebody：A person of importance:重要人物, 有名气的人

livelong day：终日, 整天整日

bog：An area having a wet, spongy, acidic substrate composed chiefly of sphagnum moss and peat in which characteristic shrubs and herbs and sometimes trees usually grow.沼泽，湿地：底面为酸性和湿软的地带，主要由灌木、草类及一些树的水藓泥沼和泥煤构成



参考译文



我是无名之辈！你是谁？



我是无名之辈！你是谁？

你也是无名之辈？

那咱俩就成了一对－别出声！

他们会把咱们排挤－要小心！

多无聊－身为赫赫显要！

多招摇－不过像只青蛙

向一片仰慕的泥沼

整日里炫耀自己的名号！
