I found this translation in my backup files. I think I did it in 1992 or 1993.

D. Parker小诗一首，不知原作有无标题，译成五言无韵之体…

得失本无别
水酒又何异
嗟然叹今生
决非我所欲
奋斗诚艰辛
精英何所有
艺术徒发泄
爱情永难求
黄牛当辛劳
蜗牛自悠然
我欲弃之去
谁指幽冥路

原诗:
There’s little in taking or giving,
There’s little in water or wine.
This living, this living, this living,
Was never a project of mine.
Oh, hard is the struggle, and sparse is
The gain of the one of the top,
For art is a form of catharsis,
And love is a permanent flop,
And work is the province of cattle,
And rest’s for a clam in a shell.
So I’m thinking of throwing the battle__
Would you kindly direct me to hell?

__ Dorothy Parker

痛苦也是一种快乐，诅咒也是一种祝福，暗夜也是一种阳光 －－赶快离去吧！否则你就会发现，圣贤其实也是一个傻瓜。
