真文艺：英国脱欧，人们作诗表态

Britons turn to poetry to express their feelings on Brexit

To be in the European Union, or not to be? that was the question.

留欧，还是脱欧？这是一个问题。

After the United Kingdom voted on Thursday to leave the EU, many of its citizens are now turning to poetry to deal with the uncertain aftermath.

上周四英国举行了脱欧公投，对于祸福难料的脱欧后果，很多英国公民都写诗来表达他们的忧虑。

As a petition calling for a second referendum gained momentum and #regrexit officially became a thing, the #WriteAPoemaboutBrexit hashtag also started to trend on Twitter.

随着请求进行第二次公投的呼声越来越高涨，#悔脱欧 成为了一大话题，#为英国脱欧写首诗 这一话题标签也开始在推特上风靡起来。

Hundreds of people have now penned rhymes to express their feelings on the Brexit, with the majority (but not all) lamenting the vote to leave. Here are some of the best:

现在，数以百计的人都写诗来表达对英国脱欧的心情，大多数（可不是全部）人都为选择离开而感到痛惜。这里选取了几个写得最好的：

The people have spoken,

With voices ignorant and loud.

We're abandoning humanity,

I've never been less proud.

人民发声了，

声音响亮却充满着无知，

我们正在抛弃人道，

我从来未曾如此失望。

Brainwashed by the far right, a victim to your fears

How did you mark your ballot with your fingers in your ears?

被极右势力洗了脑，成为内心恐惧的受害者

手指堵住了耳朵，你居然这样投票！

You've ranted and raved about immigration, but all you've done is divided a nation.

Dave tried to save his own skin

By asking Brits to vote out or in

He lost his bet

Many wept

As reality sank in.

戴维试图保全自己

他让英国人选择去留

他输掉了赌注

很多人流下眼泪

随着尘埃落定

Bigotry hijacked the vote

Unleashing real dangers

Now we're strangers in a country

That doesn't welcome strangers

偏执绑架了选票

让真正的危险夺笼而出

现在我们是这个国家的陌生人

而陌生人在这里并不受欢迎

They led people up the garden path

And I dread the oncoming aftermath

And who'll pay more?

The working class poor

即将来临的后果使我惶恐

谁会付出更多代价？

当然是穷苦的劳动阶级

Brexit MPs told a lie

£350m for NHS, pie in the sky

Mr Osborne hides away

Will Brexit budget see the light of day?

主张脱欧的议员们撒了个谎

拿三亿五千万英镑给医疗体系，就像那天上的大饼

奥斯本先生躲了起来

英国脱欧的预算还能否见天日？

Still can’t believe it,

Oh what a fright,

To see the working class,

Duped into voting for the far right.

还是难以相信，

啊，这是怎样的惊骇，

眼睁睁看着劳动人民，

被骗去投极右势力的票。

Manipulation

Of the nation

And lies about immigration

will cause more deprivation

And more privatisation.

A little island voted Leave

And drifted off to sea

Headed for the Lands of Grief

With Hate for company.

前往那悲伤之地

带着对同伴的厌恶离去。
