One Flesh by Elizabeth Jennings. Tarrega - Adelita (excerpt).-Honor Blackman

[00:08.78]Lying apart now,each in a separate bed
静静躺着，在两张分开的床上 [00:14.15]He with a book keeping the light on late
他，留着一盏小灯翻书夜读 [00:18.76]She like a girl dreaming of childhood
她，像个孩子一样梦回童年 [00:22.47]All men elsewhere - it is as if they wait Some new event:
所有世上的人-似乎都期待着崭新生活 [00:29.47]The book he holds unread
他捧着的书，还未轻启品读 [00:32.97]Her eyes fixed on the shadows overhead
她盯着上方的阴影，还未合上双眼 [00:38.31]Tossed up like flotsam from a former passion
假装从先前的激情中清醒，准备匆匆入睡 [00:43.17]How cool they lie.They hardly ever touch
多么平静的谎言，他们根本甚少碰触对方 [00:48.46]Or if they do, it is like a confession
或许他们有接触，这像一场供认 [00:52.71]Of having little feeling - or too much
彼此没有太多感觉-或是情感满溢 [00:58.35]Chastity faces them a destination
贞洁仍留，像是整段生命 [01:02.89]For which their whole lives were a preparation
都在为抵达目的地做准备 [01:09.02]Strangely apart, yet strangely close together
莫名分离，又莫名靠近 [01:17.43]Silence between them like a thread to hold
沉默，像他们间牵着的细线 [01:22.50]And not wind in. And time itself's a feather,Touching them gently
互不被卷入。时间像片羽毛，轻轻在他们生命中拂过 [01:30.84]Do they know they're old
他们是否意识到自己已然老去 [01:34.06]These two who are my father and my mother
他们，是我的父亲和母亲 [01:38.42]Whose fire from which I came,has now grown cold?
在我初降临时激动难抑，现今的感情正逐渐冷却了吗？
