※ 引述《QQXUP (QQXUP)》之铭言：
: "If I should learn, in some quite casual way"
: Edna St. Vincent Millay
: If I should learn, in some quite casual way,
: That you were gone, not to return again--
: Read from the back-page of a paper, say,
: Held by a neighbor in a subway train,
: How at the corner of this avenue 5
: And such a street (so are the papers filled)
: A hurrying man--who happened to be you--
: At noon to-day had happened to be killed,
: I should not cry aloud--I could not cry
: Aloud, or wring my hands in such a place-- 10
: I should but watch the station lights rush by
: With a more careful interest on my face,
: Or raise my eyes and read with greater care
: Where to store furs and how to treat the hair.
去掉旁枝的叙述,这个句子的主干大概是这样:
If I should learn that you were gone and how a man happened to be you had
happen to be killed, I should not cry aloud, I should but watch the station
lights and read where to store furs and how to treat the hair.
: 前面我的理解是---
: 在地下铁的列车上隔壁的人在看报纸
: 他碰巧从报纸的背版看到"他"死了
: 但第五、六行一直看不太懂是什麽意思
: 是否有人愿意为我解释一下?
: 感谢~
