Looking at the stars, I know quit well
抬头仰望点点繁星,我心明如镜,
That, for all they care, I can go to hell,
尽管它们关怀备至,我却可能走向地狱,
But on earth indifference is the least
这世间我们最不必畏惧的,
We have to dread from man or beast.
是人类或禽兽的冷漠。
How shall we like it were stars to burn
倘若繁星为我们燃烧的
With a passion for us we could not return?
是我们无以为报的激情,我们作何感想?
If equal affection cannot be,
倘若无法产生同样的感情,
Let the more loving one be me.
就让我成为更有爱心的人。
