介绍:
The Mower - Philip Larkin
割草机 菲力普•拉金
The mower stalled, twice; kneeling, I found
A hedgehog jammed up against the blades,
Killed. It had been in the long grass.
割草机抛锚了两次;
我跪下发现
一只刺猬挤进了里面，卡住了刀片 它被杀死了。
它曾在高高的草丛里。
I had seen it before, and even fed it, once.
Now I had mauled its unobtrusive world
Unmendably. Burial was no help:
Next morning, I got up and it did not.
我以前见过它，甚至还喂过它，一次。
现在我伤害了它的小世界
无法挽回。埋葬也无济于事:
第二天早上，我起床了，它却没起。
The first day after a death, the new absence
Is always the same; we should be careful
Of each other, we should be kind While there is still time.
死后的第一天，新的空缺 总是一样的;
我们应该相互顾念，在我们仍然可以之时，我们应该善良仁慈 。
这是英国现代诗人菲利普·拉金的作品，他的灵感来自1979年夏天他遇到的一件奇怪的事，这件事促使了他写下了这首关于人生短暂和怜悯的诗。
