据微博热搜得知,余光中妻子于24日晚间逝世于台湾高雄,享寿92岁。小V选了几段余老最经典的名句翻译成英文,送余光中妻子一程,以此缅怀余老及其妻子。

别问我心里有没有你
我余光中都是你
——余光中《致妻子的信》
Don't ask me whether I have you in my heart or not.
I'll be yours for the rest of my life.

我记得你爱我,
或许是我记反了。
I remember you loving me.
Perhaps it was my love for you.
你说这世界都欠着你的温柔
那么我想说
所有欠你的我来还
——余光中
You said the world owes you tenderness.
Then I wanna say,
I'll pay for everything for you that the world owes you.

你的眼眸,
是我永生无法忘却的海,
而你的微笑,
是我踏破天涯海角,
也要归来的港湾。
——余光中
Your eyes,
Are the sea that I will never forget in my lifetime.
And your smile,
Is the harbor where I must come back,
No matter how far away it is.
你的眼睛真好看
里面有晴雨、日月、
山川、江河、云雾、花鸟
但我的眼睛更好看
因为我的眼里有你
——余光中《你的眼睛真好看》
Your eyes are really beautiful
In which there are flowers and birds, mountains and rivers, clouds and mist, sun or shine, the sun and the moon.
But mine are more beautiful
Because I have you in my eyes
你来不来都一样,
竟感觉每朵莲都像你,
尤其隔着黄昏,
隔着这样的细雨。
——余光中《等你在雨中》
It doesn't make any difference whether you come or not.
I feel that every lotus looks like you,
Especially at dusk,
In this drizzling.

我后来想了想,我不耽误你,但还会有别人来耽误你。那样我不甘心,还是让我来耽误你吧!
I thought about it later.
Even if I let you go, you'll be disturbed and wooed by others.
I'm not willing to quit.
So stay with me and let me take care of you.
你来,或者不来,我都在这里,不离不弃;
你爱或者不爱我,爱都在这里,不舍不弃。
Whether you come or not, I'm here. I will never give up on you.
Whether you love me or not, love is here. I love you unfailingly.
