Between the Acts Between the Acts

by Stanley Kunitz
　　Fate hired me once to play a villain's part.

　　I did it badly, wasting valued blood;
　　Now when the call is given to the good,
　　It is that knave who answers in my heart.




两幕戏之间

●斯坦利·库尼茨
　　命运曾雇我扮演了遥坏蛋，
　　我演砸了，白费了宝贵的遥；
　　遥又要我扮演好人，
　　那个坏蛋却在我心中响应。
