Success Is Counted Sweetest
by Emily Dickinson
Success is counted sweetest
By those who ne'er succeed.
To comprehend a nectar
Requires sorest need.
Not one of all the purple Host
Who took the flag today
Can tell the definition
So clear of victory
As he defeated-dying—
On whose forbidden ear
The distant strains of triumph
Burst agonized and clear!
成功的滋味最甜蜜
艾米莉·迪金森
从未成功的人们
最能懂得成功的甜美
惟有极度的渴求
方能体会甘露的滋味
身着紫袍的王者之师
虽显耀一时
又有谁能说清楚
胜利的确切含义
只有弥留之际的挫败者
凯歌声虽已渐行渐远
掠过他的耳际却犹是
那般痛彻而清晰！
【注释】
1． ne'er 即never
2． nectar 花蜜，琼浆玉液
3． purple 紫色，代表神圣，权威，尊贵
4． host （古称）部队
