诗的题目是“上帝对我说过yes。”God said yes to me。 作者是美国当代诗人Kaylin Haught。语言轻快戏噱，以一个时尚女孩的口吻质询上帝，而上帝却是一个女教师，慈祥和气，体贴开明。诗歌的大意是，it is good to be different and be whatever you are and to do whatever you want. 我的英译汉水平一向拙劣，从未示人，这次的尝试如下，可见一斑。请诸位小试牛刀，提供合格的译文。 I asked God if it was okay to be melodramatic我问上帝，“我可以多愁善感吗？”And she said yes上帝说，“可以。”I asked her if it was okay to be short我问上帝，“我个子矮，也可以吗？”And she said it sure is她说，“当然可以。”I asked her if I could wear nail polish我问她，我能涂指甲油，Or not wear nail polish还是不能And she said honey她说，甜心She calls me that sometimes（她有时这样叫我）She said you can do just exactlyWhat you want to她说，你想做什么就做什么Thanks God I said“谢谢你，上帝。”我说。And is it okay even if I don't paragraphMy letters另外，我写信不分段也可以吗？Sweetcakes God said“小甜糕，”上帝说Who knows where she picked that up（鬼知道她从哪里学到这个称呼）What I'm telling you isYes yes yes我跟你说，“可以可以可以”
