家园 搜了一下,估计这里诗人弄了个花招

Through all the lying (an ambiguity: “lying” in terms of deceit or “lying” implying laziness?) days of his youth, ... who found himself distracted by the many leaves, the flowers swaying in the sun. In his old age, however, the speaker is able to “wither into the truth.

看来诗人特意的用了这个多意的词"lying",以达到暧昧的效果。

于此可见,直白的译"说谎",就失去那种气氛了。
