AUTOBIOGRAPHY 自传
The sniff of the real,that's嗅闻真实,这是
what I'd want to get 我想得到的
how it felt 那感觉怎样
to sit on Parliment 在一个五月的黄昏
Hill on a May evening 坐在议会山上
studying for exams skinny 为考试而用功,瘦干干的
seventeen dissatisfied 十七岁郁郁不乐
yet sniffing such 却闻着那么
a potent air,smell of 一股浓烈的空气,带着
grass in heat from 白天太阳余热的
the day's sun 青草味儿
I'd been walking through the damp 我惯常沿着池塘边
rich ways by the ponds 潮湿而肥沃的小径漫步
and how lay on the upper 不时躺在高处的
grass with Lamartine's poems 草地上读拉马丁的诗
Life seemed all 生活似乎都是
loss,and what was more 丧失,更甚的是
I'd lost whatever it was 在拥有之前
before I'd even had it 我就已失去了
