第八十八課 手套和猛獅

King Francis was a hearty king, and loved a royal sport,

弗朗西斯國王是一位健壯的國王，喜愛王室娛樂活動，

and one day, as his lions fought, sat looking on the court;

一天，他養(yǎng)的猛獅搏斗時，他端坐目光投向院子;

The nobles filled the benches round, the ladies by their side,

達官貴人坐滿長凳，貴婦們站在他們身旁，

and amongst them sat the Count de Lorge, with one for whom he sighed;

在他們中間坐著德洛日伯爵，他為一個人悲嘆;

And truly it was a gallant thing to see that crowning show,

看那無與倫比的演出，端的是壯觀，

Valor and love, and a king above, and the royal beasts below.

英勇和愛情，上面坐的是國王，下面就是王室的野獸。

Ramped and roared the lions, with horrid laughing jaws;

獅子登上斜坡，咆哮猙獰，張著血盆大口;

They bit, they glared, gave blows like beams, a wind went with their paws;

它們瞪眼，爪子出擊如閃電，還把那風聲掛動;

With wallowing might and stifled roar, they rolled on one another;

肆意打滾，發(fā)出令人窒息的吼叫，滾到另一頭獅子身上;

Till all the pit, with sand and mane, was in a thunderous smother;

直到所有深坑，連著沙土和鬃毛，隨著一聲巨響填平;

The bloody foam above the bars came whizzing through the air;

柵欄上的血沫在空中旋動;

Said Francis, then, "Faith, gentlemen, we're better here than there."

然后，弗朗西斯說，“忠誠，紳士們，我們最好留在這里。”
