A Song : Men of England给英格兰人的歌By Percy Bysshe Shelley雪莱

Men of England, wherefore plough

For the lords who lay yelow? Wherefore weave with toil and care

The rich robes your tyrants wear?

英格兰的人们，凭什么要给

蹂躏你们的老爷们耕田种地？

凭什么要辛勤劳动纺织不息

用锦绣去打扮暴君们的身体？

Wherefore feed and clothe and save From the cradle to the grave

Those ungrateful drones who would Drain your sweat-nay, drink your blood? 凭什么，要从摇篮直到坟墓，

用衣食去供养，用生命去保卫

那一群忘恩负义的寄生虫类，

他们在榨你们的汗，喝你们的血？

Wherefore ,Bees of England, forge Many a weapan, chain, and scourage, That these stingless drones may spoil The forced produce of your toil?

凭什么，英格兰的工蜂，要制作

那么多的武器，锁链和刑具，

使不能自卫的寄生雄蜂竟能掠夺

用你们强制劳动创造的财富？

Have ye leisure, comfort ,calm,

Shelter ,food, love's gentle balm?

Or what is it ye buy so dear

With your pain and with your fear?

你们是有了舒适，安宁和闲暇，

还是有了粮食，家园和爱的慰抚？

否则，付出了这样昂贵的代价，

担惊受怕忍痛吃苦又换来了什么？

The seed ye sow, another reaps;

The wealth ye find, another keeps;

The robes ye weave, another wears;

The arms ye forge, another bears.

你们播下了种子，别人来收割；

你们找到了财富，归别人占有；

你们织布成衣，穿在别人身上；

你们锻造武器，握在别人的手。

Sow sees-but let no tyrant reap

Find wealth-let no impostor heap:

Weave robes-let not the idler wear:

Forge arms-in your defence to bear.

播种吧——但是不让暴君收；

发现财富——不准骗子占有；

制作衣袍——不许懒汉们穿；

锻造武器——为了自卫握在手！

Shrink to your cellars, holes, and cells-

In halls ye deck another dwells.

Why shake the chains ye wrought? when see The steel ye tempered glance on ye.

你们装修的厅堂让别人住在里面，

自己却钻进地窖、牢房和洞穴去睡。

为什么要挣脱你们自己造的锁链？

瞧！你们炼就的钢铁在向你们逞威。

With plough and spade and hoe and loom Trace your grave and build your tomb

And weave your winding-sheet-till fair England be your Sepulchre.

就用锄头和织机，耕犁和铁铲

构筑你们的裹尸布吧，终有一天

美丽的英格兰成为你们的葬身窟。

Ode to the West Wind

1、

O wild West Wind, thou breath of Autumn's being Thou, from whose unseen presence the leaves dead Are driven, like ghosts from an enchanter fleeing,

你是秋的呼吸，啊，奔放的西风；

你无形地莅临时，残叶们逃亡，

它们像回避巫师的成群鬼魂：

Yellow, and black, and pale, and hectic red, Pestilence-stricken multitudes:O thou

Who chariotest to their dark wintry bed

黑的、惨红的、铅灰的，还有蜡黄，

患瘟疫而死掉的一大群。啊，你，

送飞翔的种籽到它们的冬床，

The winged seeds, where they lie cold and low,

Each like a corpse within its grave, until

Thine azure sister of the Spring shall blow

它们躺在那儿，又暗、又冷、又低，

一个个都像尸体埋葬于墓中，

直到明春你青空的妹妹吹起

Her clarion o'er the dreaming earth, and fill

(Driving sweet buds like flocks to feed in air)

With living hues and odors plain and hill:

她的号角，唤醒了大地的迷梦，

驱羊群似地驱使蕾儿吐馨，

使漫山遍野铺上了姹紫嫣红；

Wild Spirit, which art moving everywhere;

Destroyer and preserver; hear, oh, hear!

你周流上下四方，奔放的精灵，

是破坏者，又是保护者；听呀听！

2 、

Thou on whose stream, 'mid the steep sky's commotion, Loose clouds like earth's decaying leaves are shed, Shook from the tangled boughs of Heaven and Ocean, 你在动乱的太空中掀起激流，

那上面飘浮着落叶似的云块，

掉落自天与海的错综的枝头：

Angels of rain and lightning:there are spread

On the blue surface of thine airy surge,

Like the bright hair uplifted from the head

成为雨和电的使者：它们飘落

在你的磅礴之气的蔚蓝的波面，

有如狂女的飘扬的头发在闪烁，

Of some fierce Maenad, even from the dim verge Of the horizon to the zenith's height,

The locks of the approaching storm.Thou Dirge 从天穹的最遥远而模糊的边沿

直抵九霄的中天，到处都在摇曳

欲来雷雨的卷发，对濒死的一年

Of the dying year, to which this closing night Will be the dome of a vast sepulchre,

Vaulted with all thy congregated might

你唱出了葬歌，而这密集的黑夜

将成为它广大墓陵的一座圆顶，

里面正有你的万钧之力的凝结；

Of vapours, from whose solid atmosphere Black rain and fire and hail will burst :O hear!

那是你的浑然之气，从它会迸涌

黑色的雨，冰雹和火焰：哦，你听！

3 、

Thou who didst waken from his summer dreams The blue Mediterranean, where he lay,

Lulled by the coil of his crystalline streams

你也把青青的地中海水唤醒，

他原在贝宜湾的一个浮岛边，

沉醉于他夏日幻梦里的美景，

Beside a pumice isle in Baiae's bay,

And saw in sleep old palaces and fowers Quivering within the eave's intenser day,

被一圈圈晶莹的涟漪所催眠，

他梦见了古老的宫殿和楼阁

荡漾于更明朗皎洁的水中天，

All overgrown with azure moss and flowers

So sweet, the sense faints picturing them!Thou For whose path the Atlantic's level powers

满披着翡翠似的苔藓和花朵，

花朵多芬芳，那气息使人醉迷；

浩瀚的大西洋本来平静无波，

Cleave themselves into chasms, while far below The sea-blooms and the oozy w oods which wear The sapless foliage of the ocean, know

随着你的脚步而裂开；在海底，

那些枝叶没有浆汁的湿树林，

还有海花，听到你来临的声息，

Thy voice, and suddenly grow gray with fear,

And tremble and despoil themselves:oh, hear!

便突然地变色，它们大吃一惊，

瑟瑟地发抖，纷纷调谢。啊你听！

4 、

If I were a dead leaf thou mightest bear;

If I were a swift cloud to fly with thee:

A wave to pant beneath thy power , and share

如果我是任你吹的落叶一片；

如果我是随着你飞翔的云块；

如果是波浪，在你威力下急喘，

The impulse of thy strength, only less free

Than thou, O uncontrollable! If even

I were as in my boyhood, and could be

享受你神力的推动，自由自在，

几乎与你一样，啊，你难制的力！

再不然，如果能回返童年时代，

The comrade of thy wanderigs over Heaven,

As then, when to outstrip thy skiey speed Scarce seem'd a vision; I would ne'er have striven 常陪伴着你在太空任意飘飞，

以为要比你更神速也非幻想；

那我就不致处此窘迫境地，

As thus with thee in prayer in my sore need. Oh, lift me as a wave , a leaf, a cloud!

I fall upon the thorns of life! I bleed!

向你苦苦求告：啊，快使我高扬，

像一片树叶、一朵云、一阵浪涛！

我碰上人生的荆棘，鲜血直淌！

A heavy weight of hours has chained and bowed One too like thee: tameless, and swift, and proud. 时光的重负困着我，把我压倒，

我太像你了：难驯、迅速而骄傲。

5 、

Make me thy lyre, even as the forest is:

What if my leavers are falling like its own!

The tumult of thy mighty harmonies

把我当做你的琴，当做那树丛，

纵使我的叶子凋落又何妨？

在你怒吼咆哮的雄浑交响中，

Will take from both a deep, autumnal tone, Sweet though in sadness. Be thou, Spirit fierce, My spirit! Be thou me, impetuous one!

将有树林和我的深沉的歌唱，

我们将唱出秋声，婉转而忧愁。

精灵呀，让我变成你，猛烈、刚强！

Drive my dead thoughts over the universe

Like withered leaves to quicken a new birth!

And , by the incantation of this verse,

把我僵死的思想驱散在宇宙，

就像一片片枯叶，以鼓舞新生；

请你听从我这诗篇中的符咒，

Scatter, is from an unextinguished hearth

Ashes and sparks, my words among mankind!

Be through my lips to unawakened earth

把我的话传播给全世界的人，

犹如从不灭的炉中吹出火花！

请向未醒的大地，借我的嘴唇，

The trumpet of a prophecy! O Wind,

If Winter comes , can Spring be far behind?[1]

像号角般吹出一声声预言吧！

如果冬天来了，春天还会远吗？

The Chimney Sweeper 二

By William Blake (1757-1827) 经验之歌

A little black thing among the snow:

Crying weep, weep, in notes of woe!

Where are thy father & mother? say?

They are both gone up to the church to pray.

一个满身污垢的小小身影站在大雪里，

“扫烟囱！扫烟囱！”他的叫声悲戚！

“告诉我，你的父母在哪里？”

“他们都去了教堂祷告上帝。”

Because I was happy upon the heath,

And smil'd among the winter's snow:

They clothed me in the clothes of death,

And taught me to sing the notes of woe.

“因为我喜欢在荒野上嬉戏，

在冬天的大雪中也满脸笑意，

他们就给我穿上丧衣，

还教我用悲声唱丧曲。”

And because I am happy & dance & sing,

They think they have done me no injury:

And are gone to praise God & his Priest & King,

Who make up a heaven of our misery.

“因为我快乐地又唱又跳，

他们就觉得对我的所为无害无虞，

于是就去赞美牧师、国王和上帝—

这些人用我们的痛苦成就了一个极乐之地。”

The Chimney Sweeper 一

By William Blake 天真之歌

When my mother died I was very young，

And my father sold me while yet my tongue

Could scarcely cry `'weep！'weep！'weep！'weep！'

So your chimneys I sweep，and in soot I sleep.

There's little Tom Dacre，who cried when his head，

That curl'd like a lamb's back，was shav'd：so I said

`Hush，Tom！never mind it，for when your head's bare You know that the soot cannot spoil your white hair.'

And so he was quiet，and that very night，

As Tom was a-sleeping，he had such a sight！——

That thousands of sweepers，Dick，Joe，Ned，and Jack，

Were all of them lock'd up in coffins of black.

And by came an Angel who had a bright key，

And he open'd the coffins and set them all free；

Then down a green plain leaping，laughing，they run，And wash in a river，and shine in the sun.

Then naked and white，all their bags left behind，They rise upon clouds and sport in the wind；

And the Angel told Tom，if he'd be a good boy，

He'd have God for his father，and never want joy.

And so Tom awoke；and we rose in the dark，

And got with our bags and our brushes to work.

Tho' the morning was cold，Tom was happy and warm；So if all do their duty they need not fear harm.

我母亲死的时候，我还小得很，

我父亲把我拿出来卖给了别人，

我当时还不大喊得清，“扫呀――扫!”

我就扫你们烟囱，裹煤屑睡觉。

有个小托姆，头发卷得像小羊头，

剃光的时候，哭得好伤心，好难受，

我就说：“小托姆，不要紧，光了脑袋，

打起来煤屑就不会糟踏你白头发。”

他就安安静静了，当天夜里，

托姆睡着了，事情就来得稀奇，

他看见千千万万的扫烟囱小孩

阿猫阿狗全都给锁进了黑棺材。

后来来了个天使，拿了把金钥匙，

开棺材放出了孩子们(真是好天使!)

他们就边跳，边笑，边跑过草坪，

到河里洗了澡，太阳里晒得亮晶晶。

光光的，白白的，把袋子都抛个一，

他们就升上了云端，在风里游戏;

“只要你做个好孩子，”天使对托姆说，

“上帝会做你的父亲，你永远快乐。”

托姆就醒了;屋子里黑咕隆咚，

我们就起来拿袋子、扫帚去做工。

大清早尽管冷，托姆的心里可温暖;

这叫做：各尽本分，就不怕灾难。

The Tiger

Tiger! Tiger! Burning bright 老虎！老虎！光焰闪耀，

In the forests of the night, 在黑夜的丛林中熊熊燃烧， '

What immortal hand or eye 什么样的不朽之手和眼

Could frame thy fearful symmetry? 造成你那可怕的匀称外貌？

In what distant deeps or skies 你眼中的烈火熊熊

Burnt the fire of thine eyes? 来自多远的深处或高空？

On what wings dare he aspire? 他凭什么翅膀敢飞到九天？

What the hand dare seize the fire? 什么样的手敢去抓这火焰？

And what shoulder, and what art, 什么样的臂力，什么样的技艺Could twist the sinews of thy heart? 才能拧成你那心脏的腱肌？

And when thy heart began to beat, 什么样的手,什么样的脚,

What dread hand? And what dread feet? 才使得你的心脏开始弹跳？

What the hammer? What the chain? 用什么样的锤子？什么样的链条？In what furnace was thy brain? 在什么样的炉里炼成了你的大脑？What the anvil? What dread grasp 在什么样的铁砧上？用什么样的臂力Dare its deadly terrors clasp? 敢抓住这可以致命的可怕东西？

When the stars threw down their spears, 当星星投下他们的矛枪，And watered heaven with their tears, 用他们的泪水浇灌穹苍，

Did he smile his work to see? 他见到自己的作品时可微笑？

Did he who made the Lamb make thee? 难道是他造了你也造了羊羔？

Tiger! Tiger! Burning bright 老虎！老虎！光焰闪耀，

In the forests of the night, 在黑夜的丛林中熊熊燃烧，

What immortal hand or eye, 什么样的不朽之手和眼

Dare frame thy fearful symmetry? 造成你那可怕的匀称外貌？

Kubla Khan 忽必列汗

萨缪尔·柯勒律治

by Samuel Taylor Coleridge

In Xanadu did Kubla Khan

A stately pleasure-dome decree:

Where Alph, the sacred river, ran

Through caverns measureless to man

Down to a sunless sea.

忽必列汗在上都曾经

下令造一座堂皇的安乐殿堂：

这地方有圣河亚佛流奔，

穿过深不可测的洞门，

直流入不见阳光的海洋。

So twice five miles of fertile ground

With walls and towers were girdled round:

And there were gardens bright with sinuous rills, Where blossomed many an incense-bearing tree; And here were forests ancient as the hills, Enfolding sunny spots of greenery.

有方圆五英里肥沃的土壤，

四周给围上楼塔和城墙：

那里有花园，蜿蜒的溪河在其间闪耀，

园里树枝上鲜花盛开，一片芬芳；

这里有森林，跟山峦同样古老，

围住了洒满阳光的一块块青草草场。

But oh! that deep romantic chasm which slanted Down the green hill athwart a cedarn cover!

A savage place! as holy and enchanted

As e'er beneath a waning moon was haunted

By woman wailing for her demon-lover!

但是，啊！那深沉而奇异的巨壑

沿青山斜裂，横过伞盖的柏树！

野蛮的地方，既神圣而又着了魔－－

好象有女人在衰落的月色里出没，

为她的魔鬼情郎而凄声嚎哭！

And from this chasm, with ceaseless turmoil seething, As if this earth in fast thick pants were breathing,

A mighty fountain momently was forced:

Amid whose swift half-intermitted burst

Huge fragments vaulted like rebounding hail,

Or chaffy grain beneath the thresher's flail:

And 'mid these dancing rocks at once and ever

It flung up momently the sacred river.

巨壑下，不绝的喧嚣在沸腾汹涌，

似乎这土地正喘息在快速而猛烈的悸动中，从这巨壑里，不断迸出股猛烈的地泉；

在它那断时续的涌迸之间，

巨大的石块飞跃着象反跳的冰雹，

或者象打稻人连枷下一撮撮新稻；

从这些舞蹈的岩石中，时时刻刻

迸发出那条神圣的溪河。

Five miles meandering with a mazy motion Through wood and dale the sacred river ran, Then reached the caverns measureless to man, And sank in tumult to a lifeless ocean:

And 'mid this tumult Kubla heard from far Ancestral voices prophesying war!

迷乱地移动着，蜿蜒了五英里地方，

那神圣的溪河流过了峡谷和森林，

于是到达了深不可测的洞门，

在喧嚣中沉入了没有生命的海洋；

从那喧嚣中忽必列远远听到

祖先的喊声预言着战争的凶兆！

The shadow of the dome of pleasure Floated midway on the waves;

Where was heard the mingled measure

From the fountain and the caves.

It was a miracle of rare device,

A sunny pleasure-dome with caves of ice!

安乐的宫殿有倒影

宛在水波的中央漂动；

这儿能听见和谐的音韵

来自那地泉和那岩洞。

这是个奇迹呀，算得是稀有的技巧，

阳光灿烂的安乐宫，连同那雪窟冰窖！

A damsel with a dulcimer

In a vision once I saw:

It was an Abyssinian maid,

And on her dulcimer she played,

Singing of Mount Abora.

Could I revive within me

Her symphony and song,

To such a deep delight 'twould win me

That with music loud and long.

有一回我在幻象中见到

一个手拿德西马琴的姑娘：

那是个阿比西尼亚少女，

在她的琴上她奏出乐曲，

歌唱着阿伯若山。

如果我心中能再度产生

她的音乐和歌唱，

我将被引入如此深切的欢欣，

以至于我要用音乐高朗而又长久。

I would build that dome in air,

That sunny dome! those caves of ice! And all who heard should see them there, And all should cry, Beware! Beware!

His flashing eyes, his floating hair! Weave a circle round him thrice,

And close your eyes with holy dread,

For he on honey-dew hath fed

And drunk the milk of Paradise.

在空中建造那安乐宫廷，

那阳光照临的宫廷，那雪窟冰窖！

谁都能见到这宫殿，只要听见了乐音。他们全都会喊叫：当心！当心！

他飘动的头发，他闪光的眼睛！

织一个圆圈，把他三道围住，

闭下你两眼，带着神圣的恐惧，

因为他一直吃着蜜样甘露，

一直饮着天堂的琼浆仙乳。

Song for the Luddites

Lord Byron?1816

As the Liberty lads o'er the sea

Brought their freedom, and cheaply with blood, So we, boys, we

Will die fighting, or live free,

And down with all kings by King Ludd !

When the web that we weave is complete, And the shuttle exchanged for the sword,

We will fling the winding sheet

O'er the despot at our feet,

And dye it deep in the gore he has pour'd. Though black as his heart its hue,

Since his veins are corrupted to mud,

Yet this is the dew

Which the tree shall renew

Of Liberty, planted by Ludd !

The Isles of Greece

By Lord Byron

( from: Don Juan, Canto the Third - LXXXVI ) 1

The Isles of Greece, the Isles of Greece ! Where burning Sappho loved and sung, Where grew the arts of War and Peace, Where Delos rose, and Ph?bus sprung ! Eternal summer gilds them yet,

But all, except their Sun, is set.

希腊群岛呵，美丽的希腊群岛！

火热的萨弗在这里唱过恋歌；

在这里，战争与和平的艺术并兴，

狄洛斯崛起，阿波罗跃出海面！

永恒的夏天还把海岛镀成金，

可是除了太阳，一切已经消沉。

2

The Scian and Teian muse,

The Hero's harp, the Lover's lute,

Have found the fame your shores refuse: Their place of birth alone is mute

To sounds which echo further west

Than your Sires' "Islands of the Blest."

开奥的缪斯，蒂奥的缪斯，

那英雄的竖琴，恋人的琵琶，

原在你的岸上博得了声誉，

而今在这发源地反倒喑哑；

呵，那歌声已远远向西流传，

远超过你祖先的“海岛乐园

3

The mountains look on Marathon ---

And Marathon looks on the sea;

And musing there an hour alone,

I dreamed that Greece might still be free; For standing on the Persians' grave,

I could not deem myself a slave.

起伏的山峦望着马拉松－

马拉松望着茫茫的海波；

我独自在那里冥想一刻钟，

梦想希腊仍旧自由而欢乐；

因为，当我在波斯墓上站立，

我不能想象自己是个奴隶。

4

A King sate on the rocky brow

Which looks o'er sea-born Salamis;

And ships, by thousands, lay below,

And men in nations; --- all were his !

He counted them at break of day --- And, when the Sun set, where were they? 一个国王高高坐在石山顶，

了望着萨拉密挺立于海外；

千万只船舶在山下靠停，

还有多少队伍全由他统率！

他在天亮时把他们数了数，

但日落的时候他们都在何处？

5

And where are they? And where art thou, My country? On thy voiceless shore

The heroic lay is tuneless now ---

The heroic bosom beats no more !

And must thy Lyre, so long divine, Degenerate into hands like mine?

呵，他们而今安在？还有你呢，

我的祖国？在无声的土地上，

英雄的颂歌如今已沉寂－

那英雄的心也不再激荡！

难道你一向庄严的竖琴，

竟至沦落到我的手里弹弄？

6

'T is something, in the dearth of Fame, Though linked among a fettered race,

To feel at least a patriot's shame,

Even as I sing, suffuse my face;

For what is left the poet here?

For Greeks a blush --- for Greece a tear.

也好，置身在奴隶民族里，

尽管荣誉都已在沦丧中，

至少，一个爱国志士的忧思，

还使我的作歌时感到脸红；

因为，诗人在这儿有什么能为？

为希腊人含羞，对希腊国落泪。

7

Must we but weep o'er days more blest? Must we but blush? --- Our fathers bled. Earth ! render back from out thy breast A remnant of our Spartan dead !

Of the three hundred grant but three,

To make a new Thermopyl? !

我们难道只好对时光悲哭

和惭愧？－我们的祖先却流血。

大地呵！把斯巴达人的遗骨

从你的怀抱里送回来一些！

哪怕给我们三百勇士的三个，

让德魔比利的决死战复活！

8

What, silent still? and silent all?

Ah ! no; --- the voices of the dead Sound like a distant torrent's fall,

And answer, "Let one living head,

But one arise, --- we come, we come ! " 'T is but the living who are dumb.

怎么，还是无声？一切都喑哑？

不是的！你听那古代的英魂

正象远方的瀑布一样喧哗，

他们回答：“只要有一个活人

登高一呼，我们就来，就来！”

噫！倒只是活人不理不睬。

9

In vain -- in vain: strike other chords; Fill high the cup with Samian wine ! Leave battles to the Turkish hordes, And shed the blood of Scio's vine ! Hark ! rising to the ignoble call --- How answers each bold Bacchanal !

算了，算了；试试别的调门：

斟满一杯萨摩斯的美酒！

把战争留给土耳其野人，

让开奥的葡萄的血汁倾流！

听呵，每一个酒鬼多么踊跃

响应这一个不荣誉的号召！

10

You have the Pyrrhic dance as yet, Where is the Pyrrhic phalanx gone?

Of two such lessons, why forget

The noblier and manlier one?

You have the letters Cadmus gave --- Think ye he meant them for a slave? 你们还保有庇瑞克的舞艺，

但庇瑞克的方阵哪里去了？

这是两课，为什么只记其一，

而把高尚而坚强的一课忘掉？

凯德谟斯给你们造了字体－

难道他是为了传授给奴隶？

11

Fill high the bowl with Samian wine ! We will not think of themes like these ! It made Anacreon's song divine:

He served --- but served Polycrates --- A Tyrant; but our masters then

Were still, at least, our countrymen.

把萨摩斯的美酒斟满一盅！

让我们且抛开这样的话题！

这美酒曾使阿纳克瑞翁

发为神圣的歌；是的，他屈于

波里克瑞底斯，一个暴君，

但这暴君至少是我们国人。

12

The Tyrant of the Chersonese

Was Freedom's best and bravest friend; That tyrant was Miltiades !

Oh ! that the present hour would lend Another despot of the kind !

Such chains as his were sure to bind. 克索尼萨斯的一个暴君

是自由的最忠勇的朋友：

暴君米太亚得留名至今！

呵，但愿现在我们能够有

一个暴君和他一样精明，

他会团结我们不受人欺凌！

13

Fill high the bowl with Samian wine ! On Suli's rock, and Parga's shore, Exists the remnant of a line

Such as the Doric mothers bore;

And there, perhaps, such seed is sown, The Heracleidan blood might own.

把萨摩斯的美酒斟满一盅！

在苏里的山岩，巴加的岸上，

住着一族人的勇敢的子孙，

不愧是斯巴达的母亲所养；

在那里，也许种子已经散播，

是赫剌克勒斯血统的真传。

14

Trust not for freedom to the Franks --- They have a king who buys and sells;

In native swords, and native ranks,

The only hope of courage dwells;

But Turkish force, and Latin fraud, Would break your shield, however broad. 自由的事业别依靠西方人，

他们有一个做买卖的国王；

本土的利剑，本土的士兵，

是冲锋陷阵的唯一希望；

但土耳其武力，拉丁的欺骗，

会里应外合把你们的盾打穿。

15

Fill high the bowl with Samian wine ! Our virgins dance beneath the shade --- I see their glorious black eyes shine;

But gazing on each glowing maid,

My own the burning tear-drop laves,

To think such breasts must suckle slaves. 把萨摩斯的美酒斟满一盅！

树荫下正舞蹈着我们的姑娘－

我看见她们的黑眼亮晶晶，

但是，望着每个鲜艳的姑娘，

我的眼就为火热的泪所迷，

这乳房难道也要哺育奴隶？

16

Place me on Sunium's marbled steep, Where nothing, save the waves and I, May hear our mutual murmurs sweep; There, swan-like, let me sing and die;

A land of slaves shall ne'er be mine --- Dash down yon cup of Samian wine !

让我攀登苏尼阿的悬崖，

可以听见彼此飘送着悄悄话，

让我象天鹅一样歌尽而亡；

我不要奴隶的国度属于我－

干脆把那萨摩斯酒杯打破

Ode on a Grecian Urn 希腊古瓮颂

Stanza 1

Thou still unravish’d bride of quietness,

Thou foster-child of silence and slow time, Sylvan historian, who canst thus express

A flowery tale more sweetly than our rhyme: What leaf-fring’d legend haunts about thy shape Of deities or mortals, or of both,

In Tempe or the dales of Arcady?

What men or gods are these? What maidens loth? What mad pursuit? What struggle to escape? What pipes and timbrels? What wild ecstasy?

你委身“寂静”的、完美的处子，

受过了“沉默”和“悠久”的抚育，

呵，田园的史家，你竟能铺叙

一个如花的故事，比诗还瑰丽：

在你的形体上，岂非缭绕着

古老的传说，以绿叶为其边缘；

讲着人，或神，敦陂或阿卡狄？

呵，是怎样的人，或神！在舞乐前

多热烈的追求！少女怎样地逃躲！

怎样的风笛和鼓谣！怎样的狂喜！

Stanza 2

Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard Are sweeter; therefore, ye soft pipes, play on; Not to the sensual ear, but, more endear’d,

Pipe to the spirit ditties of no tone:

Fair youth, beneath the trees, thou canst not leave Thy song, nor ever can those trees be bare;

Bold Lover, never, never canst thou kiss,

Though winning near the goal—yet, do not grieve; She cannot fade, though thou hast not thy bliss, For ever wilt thou love, and she be fair!

听见的乐声虽好，但若听不见

却更美；所以，吹吧，柔情的风笛；

不是奏给耳朵听，而是更甜，

它给灵魂奏出无声的乐曲；

树下的美少年呵，你无法中断

你的歌，那树木也落不了叶子；

卤莽的恋人，你永远、永远吻不上，

虽然够接近了－－但不必心酸；

她不会老，虽然你不能如愿以偿，

你将永远爱下去，她也永远秀丽！

Stanza 3

Ah, happy, happy boughs! that cannot shed Your leaves, nor ever bid the Spring adieu; And, happy melodist, unwearied, [un WEER e ED] For ever piping songs for ever new;

More happy love! more happy, happy love!

For ever warm and still to be enjoy’d,

For ever panting, and for ever young;

All breathing human passion far above,

That leaves a heart high-sorrowful and cloy’d,

A burning forehead, and a parching tongue. 呵，幸福的树木！你的枝叶

不会剥落，从不曾离开春天；

幸福的吹笛人也不会停歇，

他的歌曲永远是那么新鲜；

呵，更为幸福的、幸福的爱！

永远热烈，正等待情人宴飨，

永远热情地心跳，永远年轻；

幸福的是这一切超凡的情态：

它不会使心灵餍足和悲伤，

没有炽热的头脑，焦渴的嘴唇。

Who are these coming to the sacrifice?

To what green altar, O mysterious priest, Lead’st thou that h eifer lowing at the skies,

And all her silken flanks with garlands drest? What little town by river or sea shore,

Or mountain-built with peaceful citadel,

Is emptied of this folk, this pious morn?

And, little town, thy streets for evermore

Will silent be; and not a soul to tell

Why thou art desolate, can e’er return.

这些人是谁呵，都去赶祭祀？

这作牺牲的小牛，对天鸣叫，

你要牵它到哪儿，神秘的祭司？

花环缀满着它光滑的身腰。

是从哪个傍河傍海的小镇，

或哪个静静的堡寨山村，

来了这些人，在这敬神的清早？

呵，小镇，你的街道永远恬静；

再也不可能回来一个灵魂

告诉人你何以是这么寂寥。

英国文学概述-王守仁

英国文学概述－王守仁 英国文学概述 英国文学源远流长，经历了长期、复杂的发展演变过程。在这个过程中，文学本体以外的各种现实的、历史的、政治的、文化的力量对文学发生着影响，文学内部遵循自身规律，历经盎格鲁—撒克逊、文艺复兴、新古典主义、浪漫主义、现实主义、现代主义等不同历史阶段。下面对英国文学的发展过程作一概述。 一、中世纪文学（约5世纪—1485） 英国最初的文学同其他国家最初的文学一样，不是书面的，而是口头的。故事与传说口头流传，并在讲述中不断得到加工、扩展，最后才有写本。公元5世纪中叶，盎格鲁、撒克逊、朱特三个日耳曼部落开始从丹麦以及现在的荷兰一带地区迁入不列颠。盎格鲁—撒克逊时代给我们留下的古英语文学作品中，最重要的一部是《贝奥武甫》（Beowulf），它被认为是英国的民族史诗。《贝奥武甫》讲述主人公贝尔武甫斩妖除魔、与火龙搏斗的故事，具有神话传奇色彩。这部作品取材于日耳曼民间传说，随盎格鲁-撒克逊人入侵传入今天的英国，现在我们所看到的诗是8世纪初由英格兰诗人写定的，当时，不列颠正处于从中世纪异教社会向以基督教文化为主导的新型社会过渡的时期。因此，《贝奥武甫》也反映了7、8世纪不列颠的生活风貌，呈现出新旧生活方式的混合，兼有氏族时期的英雄主义和封建时期的理想，体现了非基督教日耳曼文化和基督教文化两种不同的传统。 公元1066年，居住在法国北部的诺曼底人在威廉公爵率领下越过英吉利海峡，征服英格兰。诺曼底人占领英格兰后，封建等级制度得以加强和完备，法国文化占据主导地位，法语成为宫廷和上层贵族社会的语言。这一时期风行一时的文学形式是浪漫传奇，流传最广的是关于亚瑟王和圆桌骑士的故事。《高文爵士和绿衣骑士》（Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, 1375-1400）以亚瑟王和他的骑士为题材，歌颂勇敢、忠贞、美德，是中古英语传奇最精美的作品之一。传奇文学专门描写高贵的骑士所经历的冒险生活和浪漫爱情，是英国封建社会发展到成熟阶段一种社会理想的体现。 14世纪以后，英国资本主义工商业发展较快，市民阶级兴起，英语逐渐恢复了它的声誉，社会各阶层普遍使用英语，为优秀英语文学作品的产生提供了条件。杰弗利?乔叟（Geoffrey Chaucer, 1343-1400）的出现标志着以本土文学为主流的英国书面文学历史的开始。《坎特伯雷故事》（The Canterbury Tales）以一群香客从伦敦出发去坎特伯雷朝圣为线索，通过对香客的生动描绘和他们沿途讲述的故事，勾勒出一幅中世纪英国社会千姿百态生活风貌的图画。乔叟首创英雄诗行，即五步抑扬格双韵体，对英诗韵律作出了很大贡献，被誉为“英国诗歌之父”。乔叟的文笔精练优美，流畅自然，他的创作实践将英语提升到一个较高的文学水平，推动了英语作为英国统一的民族语言的进程。 二、文艺复兴时期文学（15世纪后期—17世纪初） 相对于欧洲其他国家来说，英国的文艺复兴起始较晚，通常认为是在15世纪末。文艺复兴时期形成的思想体系被称为人文主义，它主张以人为本，反对中世纪以神为中心的世界观，提倡积极进取、享受现世欢乐的生活理想。托马斯?莫尔（Thomas More, 1478-1535）是英国最主要的早期人文主义者，他的《乌托邦》（Utopia）批评了当时的英国和欧洲社会，设计了一个社会平等、财产公有、

THE FLEA Mark but this flea, and mark in this, How little that which thou deniest me is ; It suck'd me first, and now sucks thee, And in this flea our two bloods mingled be. Thou know'st that this cannot be said A sin, nor shame, nor loss of maidenhead; Yet this enjoys before it woo, And pamper'd swells with one blood made of two ; And this, alas ! is more than we would do. O stay, three lives in one flea spare, Where we almost, yea, more than married are. This flea is you and I, and this Our marriage bed, and marriage temple is. Though parents grudge, and you, we're met, And cloister'd in these living walls of jet. Though use make you apt to kill me, Let not to that self-murder added be, And sacrilege, three sins in killing three.

英国文学译文

第一部分：早期和中世纪英国文学 第一章：英国的组成 1、大不列颠人（英国人） 在开始学习英国文学史之前，了解一下英国这个民族是很必要的。英国这个民族是一个混血族。早期居住在这个岛上的居民是凯尔特人的一个部落，我们现在称它为大不列颠人。大不列颠人把这个岛屿命名为大不列颠岛，凯尔特人是其原始居民。他们分为几十个小部落，每个部落都以小屋群居为主。“最古老的凯尔特人法律今天归结起来显示出氏族任然充满着生命力”。英国人曾生活在部落社会。 2、罗马人的占领 在公元前55年，大不列颠岛被罗马征服者凯撒入侵，而这时的凯撒刚刚占领了高卢。但是罗马人刚登上大不列颠岛海岸时，就遭到了在首领领导下的大不列颠人的狮子般疯狂的反击，随着罗马将领来来往往的这个世纪，直到公元78年英国从被于罗马帝国完全征服过。伴随着罗马人的侵略占领，罗马式的生活方式也开始融入英国。罗马式剧院和澡堂很快的在城镇中兴起。而这些高雅的文明只不过是罗马侵略者的娱乐享受方式罢了，大不列颠人民却像奴隶一样被压迫着。罗马人的占领持续了将近400年，在这期间，罗马人因其军事目的在岛上修建了后来被称之为罗马路的纵横交错的公路，这些公路在后期发展中起到了很大的作用。沿着这些公路开始建立起大量的城镇，伦敦就是其中之一，开始成为重要的贸易中心城市。罗马的占领也带来了基督教文化。但是在15世纪初期，罗马帝国处于逐渐的衰落阶段。公元410年，所有罗马军队撤回欧洲大陆再也没有返回。因此，也标志这罗马人占领的结束。 3、英国人的占领 同时，大不列颠也被成群的海盗给侵略着。他们是来自北欧的三个部落：盎格鲁人，撒克逊人和朱特人民族。这三个部落在大不列颠海岸登路，把大不列颠人民赶到西部和北部，然后自己定居下来。朱特人占领了岛屿东南部的肯特。撒克逊人占领了岛屿南部地区，并建立起像韦塞克斯，埃塞克斯和东萨塞克斯这样的小王国。盎格鲁人席卷了东部中部地区，并在东英吉利亚建立王国。七个像这样的王国在大不列颠岛上逐渐出现。到公元7世纪，这些小王国开始合并成为今天称为英格兰的统一王国，或被称作盎格鲁人之国。这三个部落的人混合在一起，被称为今天的英国人，而盎格鲁人占绝大多数。他们说的三种方言自然而然的发展成为一种语言——盎格鲁撒克逊，或者古英语，和今天我们所说的英语有着很大的区别。 4、盎格鲁撒克逊人的社会状况 在盎格鲁撒克逊人定居在大不列颠之前，他们仍过着部落式生活。家庭成员以亲属关系联合在一起，分别定居在不同的村落。主要的战争乐团由年轻人组成，勇士们食用族长的食物与其分享战利品。虽然说族长有权决定他子民的生死，但是将在外难免军令有所不受。他熟悉他的每一个士兵，和他们一起吃喝玩乐。这就是当时盎格鲁人称作为“氏族军事民主”。 在占领大不列颠后，盎格鲁撒克逊的社会形态发生了巨大的变化。“我们知道，统治管理未屈服的人民是与非犹太人的法令相违背的……因此，非犹太人社会体系需要改革成为国家机关……首先，征服者代表必须是军事指挥官，被占领地区的内外安全需要加强指挥官的权利。这样，军事领导权转变成君权的时刻到来。一切以成定局。因此，盎格鲁撒克逊时期见证了英国由部落社会向封建社会转变的过程。 5、盎格鲁撒克逊人的宗教信仰以及其影响 盎格鲁撒克逊人是异教徒。他们信奉北欧的古老神话传说。那就是为什么北欧神话学说在英语这门语言中留下痕迹的原因。例如，一周中的天数就是由北神命名的。奥丁，我们所说的神，星期三以他的名字命名，星期四以托尔的名字命名，美丽女神弗丽嘉，祈祷者以她的名字命名星期五。星期二则是为了纪念另一个北欧之神--蒂乌。

Hamlet is the first work of literature to look squarely at the stupidity, falsity and sham of everyday life, without laughing and without easy answers. In a world where things are not as they seem, Hamlet…s genuineness, thoughtfulness, and sincerity make him special. Hamlet is no saint. But unlike most of the other characters (and most people today), Hamlet chooses not to compromise with evil. Dying, Hamlet reaffirms the tragic dignity of a basically decent person in a bad world Hamlet is the first work of literature to show an ordinary person looking at the futility and wrongs in life, asking the toughest questions and coming up with honest semi-answers like most people do today. Unlike so much of popular culture today, "Hamlet" leaves us with the message that life is indeed worth living, even by imperfect people in an imperfect world. 犹豫scholars have debated for centuries about Hamlet's hesitation in killing his uncle. Some see it as a plot device to prolong the action, and others see it as the result of pressure exerted by the complex philosophical and ethical issues that surround cold-blooded murder, calculated revenge and thwarted desire. More recently, psychoanalytic critics have examined Hamlet's unconscious desires (Freud concludes that Hamlet has an "Oedipal desire for his mother and the subsequent guilt [is] preventing him from murdering the man [Claudius] who has done what he unconsciously wanted to do". Robinson Crusoe is a grand hero in westerners? eyes. He survived in the deserted island and lived a meaningful life. He almost has everything needed for becoming a successful man, such as his excellent creativity, great working capacity, courage, and persistence in overcoming obstacles. But he has shortcomings, too. Sometimes he was irresolute; he was not confident; he was fetishistic, although his belief had done him much good. He serves somehow as a lighthouse for the ambitious people. It?s also instructive for average people. Robinson was the representative of the bourgeois of the 18th C. It was the time when bourgeois grew stronger and stronger. The author Defoe paid a tribute to bourgeois by creating such a rational, powerful, clever, and successful man. 【Themes of Robinson Crusoe】 1. The ambivalence of mastery In short, while Crusoe seems praiseworthy in mastering his fate by overcoming his obstacles, and controlling his environment, the praiseworthiness of his mastery over his fellow human Friday is more doubtful. Defoe explores the link between the two in his depiction of the colonial mind. 2. The necessity of Repentance Crusoe?s experiences constitute not simply an adventure story in which thrilling things happen, but also a moral tale illustrating the right and wrong ways to live one?s life. Crusoe?s story instruct s others in God?s wisdom, and one vital part of this wisdom is the importance of repenting one?s sins. 3. The Importance of Self-Awareness Crusoe?s arrival on the island does not make him revert to a brute existence and he remains conscious of himself at all times. His island existence actually deepens his self-awareness as he withdraws from the external society and turns inward. The idea that the individual must keep a careful reckoning of the state of his own soul is a key point in the Presbyterian doctrine that the aothor took seriously all his life. ·Jane Eyre Charlotte Bronte The protagonist and title character, orphaned as a baby. She is a plain-featured, small and reserved but talented, sympathetic, hard-working, honest and passionate girl. Skilled at studying, drawing, and teaching, she works as a governess at Thornfield Hall and falls in love with her wealthy employer, Edward Rochester. But her strong sense of conscience does not permit her to become his mistress, and she does not return to him until his insane wife is dead and she herself has come into an inheritance. 【Themes of Jane Eyre】 1. Gender relations A particularly important theme in the novel is patriarchalism and Jane…s efforts to assert her own identity within male-dominated society. Among the three of the main male characters,

新编英国文学选读(上册)翻译

英国文学史（上册） 第一章安格鲁—撒克逊时期（450—1066） 1.历史背景 不列颠群岛最早的居民是凯尔特人，他们最初居住在莱茵河上游地区，大约在公元前600年，他们移居到了不列颠群岛。在大约公元前400到公元前300年时，凯尔特人的一个分支——布立吞人，来到了不列颠群岛，“不列颠”这个名字便是由他们所取。凯尔特人的文化属于铁器文化的早期阶段，他们知道如何铸造铁剑和种植庄稼。关于他们的信仰，我们所知甚少，但是我们能了解到他们五月节的宗教典礼和槲寄生（一种植物）的祭奠仪式，这些已经成为英国人民民族传统的一部分。 从公元前55年到公元407年，不列颠群岛在罗马帝国的统治之下。那时，罗马帝国是奴隶社会，它统治了整个欧洲，并且有很高的文明水平。罗马人打败了凯尔特人，成为了不列颠群岛的主人，伦敦就是在罗马人的统治时期内建成的。 第一个来到不列颠的罗马将领是著名的尤里乌斯.凯撒，公元55年，在他取得高卢战役的胜利后，带领一万名士兵跨过英吉利海峡来到那里。但是他只在哪儿待了几个星期，虽然他在第二年又来到了不列颠，他并没有在岛上驻扎军队，因为他当时正忙于平息欧洲大陆的叛乱，还有罗马帝国的内战。在罗马人对不列颠扩大征服之前，就这样过去了一个世纪。罗马人统治了不列颠三个半世纪，他们筑寺庙、修大路、砌城墙、建军营，但是，对凯尔特人的文化生活却影响不大。他们建成了四、五十个城邑，如今无论何时，如果你在英国听到一个城镇的名字是以“切斯特”或“卡斯特”结尾的，那么毫无疑问，它一定是坐落在一个罗马军队曾经的屯兵之地上。因为这样的词来源于拉丁语“卡斯楚”，它的意思是“要塞、堡垒”。大部分我们所知道的罗马统治时期的不列颠，都来源于凯撒的《高卢战记》，和普布里乌斯?克奈里乌斯?塔西佗的《日耳曼尼亚志》。 大约公元450年，大批的安格鲁人、撒克逊人和朱特人入侵不列颠群岛，他们定居在英格兰，把凯尔特人赶往威尔士、苏格兰和爱尔兰等周边地区。安格鲁人和撒克逊人是日耳曼部落，他们占据着易北河的两岸，也就是现在丹麦和德国的地方，这两个部族之间的语言也大致相同。从他们特有的的部族名字我们可以得知他们是非常勇敢的海上民族。古散克逊语“安古尔”意思是“钩子”，从中我们可以得知他们住在海边，以捕鱼为生。而“撒克逊”这个名字则源于“希克斯”，意思是短剑，从这个名字我们可以判断他们是坚强勇敢的战士。尽管遭到凯尔特人的奋勇抵抗，安格鲁—散克逊人最终还是将他们击败，成了不列颠群岛的新主人，也是现在英国人的祖先。 在大约公元500年，在对抗韦塞克斯王国的建立者——国王瑟迪克的过程中，一个传奇人物，凯尔特人的亚瑟王，名声大噪。在都城索美塞特夏，他的宫殿卡米洛特，亚瑟王召集了一批最勇敢的追随者，也就是著名的圆桌骑士。他为他的王国同安格鲁—撒克逊侵略者英勇作战了24年，后来他的故事也成了英国骑士文学的题材。 在从欧洲大陆移民之前，安格鲁—撒克逊人明显还处在部落社会的晚期，在他们移往不列颠之后，部落社会逐渐解体，封建社会开始形成。在将近公元6世纪时，在英格兰已经有7个较大的王国。 从8世纪后期开始，丹麦人，也就是维京人，开始入侵英格兰，起先只是沿着东海岸，

英国文学课文翻译

She walks in beauty 第一诗节：首先描写夫人的步态。“She walks in beauty, like the night of cloudless climes and starry skies”用头韵、明喻等手法，塑造了一个鲜明的艺术形象。诗人把夫人的从容缓步与皎洁无云、满天繁星的夜晚相映衬，以浪漫主义笔触将这种美与大自然融为一体。“Thus mellow’d to that tender light / Which heaven to gaudy day denies”描写夫人的仪容与秋波，她的美色泽柔和。 第二诗节：诗人继续围绕美的内涵，延伸美的意境。“One shade the more, one ray the less/ Has half impair’d the nameless grace”对夫人的美做了高度赞美。诗句中的“waves”和“lightens”,将抽象的美具体化。美能飞舞在发上，在夫人的脸上放出光彩。美便有了生命。 第三诗节：从夫人面颊的美深入到她内心的美。“So soft, so calm, yet eloquent”生动地表现出夫人性情温柔沉静。前四行赞美夫人的容颜、微笑等外在美；后两行表现的是夫人的本质美。“A mind at peace with all below,/ A heart whose love is innocent”外在美与内在美完美结合。She walks in beauty,like the night美人缓行如夜移, Of cloudless climes and starry skies; 清空无云动繁星; And all that'best of dark and bright明丽晦深潜交影,Meet in her aspect and her eyes;凝妆娇容汇眸情;Thus mellow'd to that tender light融融月色柔极致,Which heaven to gaudy day denies耀目昼曦难相映.One shade the more,one ray the less,明暗一丝难增减, Had half impair'd the nameless grace莫明优雅易折失.Which waves in every raven tress, 万缕金泽溢雅致,Or softly lightens o'er her face;芙蓉颜面泛灵滋; Where thoughts serenely sweet express适逸安恬若有思,How pure,how dear their dwelling-place.清纯高洁显心志. And on that cheek, and o'er that brow,秀颊柔美多沉静,So soft, so clam, yet eloquent柳眉动人语无声; The smiles that win, the tins that glow,迷人笑嫣光彩焕, But tell of days in goodness spent, 似隐似现年华生.A mind at peace with all below,人间万事平心待,A heart whose love is innocent!痴心一片仍天真. 西风颂珀西·比西·雪莱哦，狂暴的西风，秋之生命的呼吸！你无形，但枯死的落叶被你横扫，有如鬼魅碰到了巫师，纷纷逃避：黄的，黑的，灰的，红得像患肺痨，呵，重染疫疠的一群：西风呵，是你以车驾把有翼的种子催送到黑暗的冬床上，它们就躺在那里，像是墓中的死穴，冰冷，深藏，低贱，直等到春天，你碧空的姊妹吹起她的喇叭，在沉睡的大地上响遍，（唤出嫩芽，像羊群一样，觅食空中）将色和香充满了山峰和平原。不羁的精灵呵，你无处不远行；破坏者兼保护者：听吧，你且聆听！没入你的急流，当高空一片混乱，流云象大地的枯叶一样被撕扯脱离天空和海洋的纠缠的枝干。成为雨和电的使者：它们飘落在你的磅礴之气的蔚蓝的波面，有如狂女的飘扬的头发在闪烁，从天穹的最遥远而模糊的边沿直抵九霄的中天，到处都在摇曳欲来雷雨的卷发，对濒死的一年你唱出了葬歌，而这密集的黑夜将成为它广大墓陵的一座圆顶，里面正有你的万钧之力的凝结；那是你的浑然之气，从它会迸涌黑色的雨，冰雹和火焰：哦，你听！是你，你将蓝色的地中海唤醒，而它曾经昏睡了一整个夏天，被澄澈水流的回旋催眠入梦，就在巴亚海湾的一个浮石岛边，它梦见了古老的宫殿和楼阁在水天辉映的波影里抖颤，而且都生满青苔、开满花朵，那芬芳真迷人欲醉！呵，为了给你让一条路，大西洋的汹涌的浪波把自己向两边劈开，而深在渊底那海洋中的花草和泥污的森林虽然枝叶扶疏，却没有精力；听到你的声音，它们已吓得发青：一边颤栗，一边自动萎缩：哦，你听！哎，假如我是一片枯叶被你浮起，假如我是能和你飞跑的云雾，是一个波浪，和你的威力同喘息，假如我分有你的脉搏，仅仅不如你那么自由，哦，无法约束的生命！假如我能像在少年时，凌风而舞便成了你的伴侣，悠游天空（因为呵，那时候，要想追你上云霄，似乎并非梦幻），我就不致像如今这样焦躁地要和你争相祈祷。哦，举起我吧，当我是水波、树叶、浮云！我跌在生活底荆

我好似一朵流云独自漫游 华兹华斯（英1770——1850） 我独自漫游！像山谷上空 悠悠飘过的一朵云儿， 蓦然举目，我望见一丛 金黄色的水仙，缤纷茂密； 在湖水之滨，树荫之下， 在随风摇弋，舞姿潇洒。 连绵密布似繁星万点 在银河上下闪烁明灭， 这一片水仙，沿着湖湾 排成延续无尽的行列； 一眼便瞥见万朵千株， 摇颤着花冠，轻盈飘舞。 湖面的涟漪也迎风起舞， 水仙的欢悦却胜似涟漪； 有了这样愉快的伴侣， 诗人怎能不心旷神怡！ 我凝望多时，却未曾想到 这美景给了我怎样的珍奇。 从此，每当我倚榻而卧， 或情怀抑郁，或心境茫然， 水仙呵，便在心目中闪烁—— 那是我孤寂时分的乐园； 我的心灵便欢情洋溢， 和水仙一道舞蹈不息。 希腊古瓮颂 你委身“寂静”的、完美的处子， 受过了“沉默”和“悠久”的抚育， 呵，田园的史家，你竟能铺叙 一个如花的故事，比诗还瑰丽： 在你的形体上，岂非缭绕着 古老的传说，以绿叶为其边缘； 讲着人，或神，敦陂或阿卡狄？ 呵，是怎样的人，或神！在舞乐前 多热烈的追求！少女怎样地逃躲！ 怎样的风笛和鼓谣！怎样的狂喜！

听见的乐声虽好，但若听不见 却更美；所以，吹吧，柔情的风笛； 不是奏给耳朵听，而是更甜， 它给灵魂奏出无声的乐曲； 树下的美少年呵，你无法中断 你的歌，那树木也落不了叶子； 卤莽的恋人，你永远、永远吻不上， 虽然够接近了－－但不必心酸； 她不会老，虽然你不能如愿以偿， 你将永远爱下去，她也永远秀丽！ 呵，幸福的树木！你的枝叶 不会剥落，从不曾离开春天； 幸福的吹笛人也不会停歇， 他的歌曲永远是那么新鲜； 呵，更为幸福的、幸福的爱！ 永远热烈，正等待情人宴飨， 永远热情地心跳，永远年轻； 幸福的是这一切超凡的情态： 它不会使心灵餍足和悲伤， 没有炽热的头脑，焦渴的嘴唇。 这些人是谁呵，都去赶祭祀？ 这作牺牲的小牛，对天鸣叫， 你要牵它到哪儿，神秘的祭司？ 花环缀满着它光滑的身腰。 是从哪个傍河傍海的小镇， 或哪个静静的堡寨山村， 来了这些人，在这敬神的清早？ 呵，小镇，你的街道永远恬静； 再也不可能回来一个灵魂 告诉人你何以是这么寂寥。 哦，希腊的形状！唯美的观照！ 上面缀有石雕的男人和女人， 还有林木，和践踏过的青草； 沉默的形体呵，你象是“永恒” 使人超越思想：呵，冰冷的牧歌！ 等暮年使这一世代都凋落， 只有你如旧；在另外的一些 忧伤中，你会抚慰后人说： “美即是真，真即是美，”这就包括 你们所知道、和该知道的一切。 查良铮译 西风颂
