A Drunken Man's Praise Of Sobriety　一个醉汉给清醒的赞歌　翻译十

William Butler Yeats　威廉·巴特勒·叶芝
Come swish around, my pretty punk,
And keep me dancing still
That I may stay a sober man
Although I drink my fill.
来，到处晃荡晃荡，我可爱的小混混，
扶着我继续舞蹈，
这样我就还是个清醒的人，
虽然我早已喝了个大饱。
Sobriety is a jewel
That I do much adore;
And therefore keep me dancing
Though drunkards lie and snore.
O mind your feet, O mind your feet,
Keep dancing like a wave,
And under every dancer
A dead man in his grave.
No ups and downs, my pretty,
A mermaid, not a punk;
A drunkard is a dead man,
And all dead men are drunk.
清醒是珍贵的宝石，
对此我真心地推崇；
所以我要不停跳舞，
虽然醉鬼们已经横七竖八，呼噜汹涌，
噢，注意你的脚，噢，注意你的脚，
继续踏出海浪一样的舞步，
每一个舞者的脚下
都有死尸躺在他的坟墓。
不要一会儿起，一会儿落，我的小可爱，
是美人鱼，不是小混混；
每个醉鬼都是死尸，
而所有的的死人都喝醉了。
