I came out alone on my way to my tryst.
我独自去赴幽会。
But who is this that follows me in the silent dark?
是谁在暗寂中跟着我呢?
I move aside to avoid his presence but I escape him not.
我走开躲他，但是我逃不掉。
He makes the dust rise from the earth with his swagger; he adds his loud voice to every word that I utter.
他昂首阔步，使地上尘土飞扬;我说出的每一个字里，都掺杂着他的喊叫。
He is my own little self, my lord, he knows no shame; but I am ashamed to come to thy door in his company.
他就是我的小我，我的主，他恬不知耻;但和他一同到你门前，我却感到羞愧。
