这是个很有意思的话题,为此特别去搜索了一下,找到下面两篇英文解读:

两篇我都读完了,第一篇繁复一些,但非常细致。第二篇更容易理解。
简言之,这首诗想表达的意思是人的多样性,比如理智与情感的冲突。
作者试图在这多样性的冲突之中寻找一种平衡,以此为基础做出决定,
即使做出的决定事后被证明并不完美也能坦然受之——“尽人事、听
天命”。
感觉跟电影 Full Metal Jacket (1987) 里的视角很相似。
Pogue Colonel: Marine, what is that button on your body armor?
Private Joker: A peace symbol, sir.
Pogue Colonel: Where'd you get it?
Private Joker: I don't remember, sir.
Pogue Colonel: What is that you've got written on your helmet?
Private Joker: "Born to Kill", sir.
Pogue Colonel: You write "Born to Kill" on your helmet and you wear a peace button. What's that supposed to be, some kind of sick joke?
Private Joker: No, sir.
Pogue Colonel: You'd better get your head and your ass wired together, or I will take a giant shit on you.
Private Joker: Yes, sir.
Pogue Colonel: Now answer my question or you'll be standing tall before the man.
Private Joker: I think I was trying to suggest something about the duality of man, sir.
Pogue Colonel: The what?
Private Joker: The duality of man. The Jungian thing, sir.
