第二首
Second
不过，
However.
倘若要我穿上此地新割之草编成的长裤，
If they'd let me wear pants made out of the fresh-mown grass from this place,
我会这么做。
I'd do it.
倘若要我
If they'd let me make out
和象头神之林的每一株桉树热烈拥吻，
with every single Eucalyptus tree in Ganesh's Grove,
我发誓，我会做。
I've sweated out dew these days,
近来我拭去汗珠，
I swear, I'd do it.
甩去渣滓，
worked out the dregs,
下巴揉搓树皮，
rubbed my chin on tree bark,
误以为是明师的腿。
mistaking it for my master's leg.
我进入得不够深远。
I can't get far enough in.
倘若要我吃下此地的泥土
If they'd let me eat the soil of this place
放在鸟巢中端上来，我会只吃半盘，
served on a bed of birds'nests, I'd finish only half my plate,
而后整晚睡在剩下的半盘上。Eat, Pray, Love
Then sleep all night on the rest.
