Chemistry Experiment by Bart Edelman

非常短的诗，也没有高难的英语词汇
由化学试验来暗喻
Love is a chemical reaction.


Chemistry Experiment
Bart Edelman
We listened intently to the professor,
Followed each one of her instructions,
Read through the textbook twice,
Wore lab coats and safety goggles,
Mixed the perfect chemical combinations
In the proper amount and order.
We thought we were a completely success.
And then the flash of light,
The loud, perplexing explosion,
The black rope of smoke,
Rising freely above our singed hair.
Someone in another lab down the hallway
Phoned the local fire department
Which arrived lickety-split
With the hazardous waste crew,
And they assessed the accident,
Deciding we were out of danger.
It was the talk of the campus,
For many weeks afterwords.
We, However, became so disillusioned
The we immediately dropped the course
And slowly retreated from each other.
The very idea we could have done
More damage than we actually did--
Blown ourselves up and the building
From the base of its foundation--
Shook us, like nothing had before.
And even now, years later,
When anyone still asks about you,
I get this sick feeling in my stomach
And wonder what really happened
To all the elementary matter.

其实果然还是附带自己翻译更有自己的感触呢(￣▽￣")
每个人的理解都会稍有偏差呢。。。
用化学暗喻的生活吗。。。

__(:3」∠)_  我个人的理解是，用这个暗喻某段以为可以在一起，但是最后没在一起的关系……最开始以为是"completely success",但是还是爆炸了，最后当别人再提起 当时一起和我做试验的人的名字，我还是会觉得胃里一阵酸痛。。。嗯翻译什么我好差劲( •̩̩̩̩̩̩̩̩̩̩̩̩̩̩̩̩̩̩̩̩̩̩̩̩̩́ ˑ̫ •̩̩̩̩̩̩̩̩̩̩̩̩̩̩̩̩̩̩̩̩̩̩̩̩̩̩̩̩̩̩̩̀)

最近马上考四级时候。。。总以为自己很容易能结束战斗来个"completely success"，但是每次最后都自爆了，被虐的死去活来。。。当别人再提起的英语考试名字的时候。。。我还会觉得胃里一阵酸痛~(￣▽￣)~* 。。

发现这个词很百搭呢~(￣▽￣)~* 。。。带上属于自己的翻译果然妙趣横生呢~(￣▽￣)~* 。。恩恩，，喜欢

嗯嗯，英语什么的果然又爱又恨呢，很多时候的英文原文读起来更有味道呢……当然加上个人翻译仿佛就带上了属于自己的特色呢，就好像自己的孩子一样啦~\(≧▽≦)/~
