- Helena Bonham Carter
- When I am an old woman I shall wear purple
等成了老太婆，我要穿一身紫袍
With a red hat which doesn't go, and doesn't suit me.
戴一頂不協調、不般配的紅帽
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves
我要把養老金拿來買白蘭地和防曬手套
And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter.
外加一雙緞子鞋，還說我們沒錢買黃油
I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired
累了就往馬路上一坐
And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells
狼吞虎咽吃商店送的樣品，按警報
And run my stick along the public railings
邊走邊拿棍子把公共欄杆刷
And make up for the sobriety of my youth.
彌補年輕那會兒的清醒
I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
我要靸著拖鞋去雨裡泡
And pick flowers in other people's gardens
到別人園子裡去採花草
And learn to spit.
還要學著吐唾沫
You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat
你可以穿不像樣的襯衣，長得更胖
And eat three pounds of sausages at a go
一口吃下三磅臘腸
Or only bread and pickle for a week
也可以僅用麵包和泡菜打發一星期
And hoard pens and pencils and beermats and things in boxes.
把鋼筆鉛筆酒杯墊子統統藏到箱子裡
But now we must have clothes that keep us dry
可眼下我們必須要衣服保持乾爽
And pay our rent and not swear in the street
必須交房租，不得在街上罵罵咧咧
And set a good example for the children.
必須為孩子們樹立一個好榜樣
We must have friends to dinner and read the papers.
我們必須請朋友吃飯，還須看報
But maybe I ought to practice a little now?
不過或許我現在應該練一會兒？
So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised
這樣，等我突然老了，開始穿紫袍
When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple.
認識我的人便不至於嚇一跳
