|成为更有爱心的人

Looking up at the stars, I know quite well

That, for all they care, I can go to hell,

But on earth indifference^{1 is the least}

We have to dread^{2 from man or beast.}

How should we like it were stars to burn

With a passion for us we could not return?

If equal affection cannot be,

Let the more loving one be me.

Admirer as I think I am

Of stars that do not give a damn,

I cannot, now I see them ,say

I missed one terribly all day.

Were all stars to disappear or die

I should learn to look at an empty sky

And feel its total dark sublime,

Though this might take me a little time.

仰望群星的时分，我一目了然，

尽管它们关怀备至，我亦大概赴地府，

可是尘世间大家丝毫不必畏惧

人类或禽兽的那份冷漠。

假如群星燃烧着关怀大家的激情，

大家却没办法回报，大家作何感想？

假如没办法产生同样的感情，

让我成为更有爱心的人。

尽管我自视为群星的崇拜者，

它们满不在乎，

目前我看群星，我却很难启齿，

说我成天思念一颗星星。

假如所有些星星消失或者消亡，

我应该掌握仰望空荡的天空，

同时感受天空一片漆黑的崇高，

虽然如此可能要花费一点时间。
