大路之歌
作者：沃尔特·惠特曼
我轻松愉快走上大路，
我健康自由，世界在我面前，
长长褐色的大路在我面前，指向我想去的任何地方。
从此我不再希求好运气，我自己就是好运气，
从此我不再抱怨，不再迟疑，什么也不需要，
消除了闷在屋里的晦气，放下了书本，摆脱了苛刻的责难，
我强壮满足，迈步走上大路。
大地，有它就足够了，
我不要星星离我更近，
我知道它们正好各居其所，
我知道它们满足了属于它们的人。
（我仍然肩负着我多年喜爱的责任，
我带着他们，男男女女，我无论去哪里都带着他们，
我发誓我不可能甩掉他们，
他们充实了我，我也要满足他们。）
Song of the Open Road
By Walt Whitman
A foot and light-hearted I take to the open road,
Healthy, free, the world before me,
The long brown path before me leading wherever I choose.
Henceforth I ask not good-fortune, I myself am good-fortune,
Henceforth I whimper no more, postpone no more, need nothing,
Done with indoor complaints, libraries, querulous criticisms,
Strong and content I travel the open road.
The Earth, that is sufficient,
I do not want the constellations any nearer,
I know they are very well where they are,
I know they suffice for those who belong to them.
(Still here I carry my old delicious burdens,
I carry them, men and women, I carry them with me wherever I go,
I swear it is impossible for me to get rid of them,
I am fill'd with them, and I will fill them in return.)
