转译自A.S.Kiddler的英译本（笔者不会德语）。
以前看过的通行译本（http://www.douban.com/group/topic/27359277/），个人觉得偏生硬了。当然也可能是德语和英语在转译时个别字眼有所差异吧。

我在这世上太孤独
原作：莱纳·马利亚·里尔克
英译：Annemarie S. Kidder
汉译：卢然 （Cristal Lachesis）
我在这世上太孤独，但孤独得
还不够
使每一刻真正化为神圣
我在这世上太渺小，但渺小得
还不够
仅仅是你面前的某个物体
黑暗而迅捷。
我渴望我的自由意志，渴望它伴我
走上通往行动的大道；
我渴望在那些被疑问困扰的时刻
当事情发生时
可以成为知情者之一，
而非泯于一无所知的孤寂。
我渴望映出你的镜像，臻于最丰沛的完美
绝不因过于盲从或老朽
而无法托举起你沉重的、游移的倒影。
我渴望敞开心怀，
不愿留在那些欺骗与堕落之地
因为那将让我不再坦诚、真实。
我希望我的良知在你面前清白如一
像观察一幅图画般描述自己
久久凝视，给一个特写
像我刚领会的一个新鲜词语
像每天用的水罐，
像母亲的面庞，
像一叶扁舟，载着我
穿过最致命的暴风骤雨。
–[原诗]–
I Am Much Too Alone in This World
Rainer Maria Rilke (trans. by Annemarie S. Kidder)
I am much too alone in this world, yet not alone
enough
to truly consecrate the hour.
I am much too small in this world, yet not small
enough
to be to you just object and thing,
dark and smart.
I want my free will and want it accompanying
the path which leads to action;
and wants during times that beg questions,
where something is up,
to be among those in the know,
or else be alone.
I want to mirror your image to its fullest perfection,
never be blind or too old
to uphold your weighty wavering reflection.
I want to unfold.
Nowehere I wish to stay crooked, bent;
for there I would be dishonest, untrue.
I want my conscience to be true before you;
want to describe myself like a picture I observed
for a long time, one close up,
like a new word I learned and embraced,
like the everyday jug,
like my mother’s face,
like a ship that carried me along
through the deadliest storm.
