happiness by Raymond Carver

So early it's still almost dark out.
晨光熹微
I'm near the window with coffee, and the usual early morning stuff that passes for thought.
我靠在窗邊飲著咖啡，關於早上的那些思緒湧於心頭
When I see the boy and his friend walking up the road to deliver the newspaper.
當我看到賣報的男孩和他的朋友們在大路邊分派報紙
They wear caps and sweaters, and one boy has a bag over his shoulder.
他們戴著帽子裹著毛衣，其中一個肩上掛著一個包
They are so happy they aren't saying anything, these boys.
他們說話不多，但開心非常
I think if they could, they would take each other's arm.
我認為必要的話，他們甚至都會拉著彼此的小手
It's early in the morning, and they are doing this thing together.
清晨時候，他們一起合作賣報
They come on, slowly.
他們輕輕地來了
The sky is taking on light , though the moon still hangs pale over the water.
天空漸漸露出微光，儘管月亮的殘影還倒影在水上
Such beauty that for a minute death and ambition, even love, doesn't enter into this.
如此美麗，這一刻甚至忘了死亡與抱負
Happiness.
快樂
It comes on unexpectedly.
來得如此意外
And goes beyond, really, any early morning talk about it.
任何一個早晨都有此可能
