梦与诗

Dream and Poetry

作者：胡适

都是平常经验，

It's all ordinary experience,

都是平常影像，

All ordinary images.

偶然涌到梦中来，

By chance they emerge in a dream,

变幻出多少新奇花样！

Turning out infinite new patterns.

都是平常情感，

It's all ordinary feelings,

都是平常言语，

All ordinary words.

偶然碰着个诗人，

By chance they encounter a poet,

变幻出多少新奇诗句！

Turning out infinite new verses.

醉过才知酒浓，

Once intoxicated, one learns the strength of wine,

爱过才知情重；

Once smitten, one learns the power of love:

你不能做我的诗，

You cannot write my poems

正如我不能做你的梦。

Just as I cannot dream your dreams.
