fire and ice
火与冰
some say the world will end in fire,
有人说世界将结束于熊熊烈焰,
some say in ice.
有人则说结束于凛凛寒冰。
from what i've tasted of desire,
欲望如火,体会其烈,
i hold with those who favor fire.
则知世之归于火为我所愿。
but if it had to perish twice,
但若其必两度遭逢毁灭,
i think i know enough of hate
我知恨之极至,
to know that for destruction ice
必然明了,毁灭之冰,
is also great
同样魁伟,
and would suffice
同样顺人心意。
