七 "那是個美麗的傍晚"
|
William Wordsworth
|
威廉·華茲華斯
|
It is a beauteous evening, calm and free; |
那是個美麗的傍晚,安靜,清澈; |
The holy time is quiet as a Nun |
神圣的時光,靜如修女一樣, |
Breathless with adoration; the broad sun |
屏息著在崇奉禮贊;闊大的太陽 |
Is sinking down in its tranquillity; |
正在一片寧謐中逐漸沉落; |
The gentleness of heaven broods o'er the Sea: |
蒼天的安詳慈悲君臨著大海: |
Listen ! the mighty Being is awake, |
聽啊!那偉大的生命已經(jīng)蘇醒, |
And doth with his eternal motion make |
用他那永恒的律動發(fā)出了一陣陣 |
A sound like thunder ---- everlastingly. |
轟雷一般的聲音——千古不改。 |
Dear child ! dear girl'! that walkest with me here, |
跟我同行的孩子呵,親愛的女孩! |
If thou appear untouch'd by solemn thought |
假如你仿佛還沒有接觸到圣念, |
Thy nature is not therefore less divine: |
你的天性不因此而不夠崇高: |
Thou liest in Abraham's bosom all the year, |
你整年都躺在亞伯拉罕的胸懷, |
And worshipp'st at the Temple's inner shrine, |
你在神廟的內(nèi)殿里崇拜,禮贊, |
God being with thee when we know it not |
上帝在你的身邊,我們卻不知道。 |
|
屠 岸譯 |
