英文詩歌欣賞五首
My Kindergartner
My KindergartnerTime has come for my kindergartner
to learn to write the alphabet.
He has trouble writing b's,
Confusing them with d's,
But his favorite
letter of all
twenty-six
is the V
我的兒時伙伴
時光回到兒時,
我的伙伴在學習字母。
他在寫b的時候有困難,
對于d他經(jīng)常迷惑。
但是26個字母中,
他最喜歡的一個是字母V。
The ant
The ant has made himself illustrious
Through constant industry industrious1.
So what?
Would you be calm and placid2
If you were full of formic acid?
螞蟻
螞蟻通過不懈的辛勤勞作
使得自己杰出輝煌。
可那又怎樣?
如果你被裝滿了蟻酸
難道還會平靜安詳?
My Captain
Oh, Captain! My Captain!
---By Walt Whitman
Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done,
The ship has weather'd every rack, the prize we sought is worn,
The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,
While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel1 grim and daring;
But O heart! heart! heart!
O the bleeding drops of red!
Where on the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead.
O Captain! my Captain! rise up and hear the bells;
Rise up--for you the flag is flung--for you the bugle2 trills,
For you bouquets3 and ribbon'd wreaths--for you the shores crowding,
For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning;
Here, Captain! dear father!
This arm beneath your head;
It is some dream that on the deck
You've fallen cold and dead.
My Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still,
My father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse or will;
The ship is anchor'd safe and sound, its voyage closed and done;
From fearful trip the victor ship comes in with object won;
Exult, O Shores! and ring, O bell!
But I, with mournful tread,
Walk the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead.
我的船長
船長!我的船長!
瓦爾特?惠特曼
啊, 船長!我的船長!可怕的航程已完成;
這船歷盡風險,企求的目標已達成。
港口在望,鐘聲響,人們在歡欣。
千萬雙眼睛注視著船----平穩(wěn),勇敢,堅定。
但是痛心!痛心!痛心!
瞧一滴滴鮮紅的血!
甲板上躺著我的船長,
他到下去,冰冷,永別。
啊, 船長!我的船長!起來吧,傾聽鐘聲;
起來吧,號角為您長鳴,旌旗為您高懸;
迎著您,多少花束花圈----候著您,千萬人蜂擁岸邊;
他們向您高呼,擁來擠去,仰起殷切的臉;
啊,船長!親愛的父親!
我的手臂托著您的頭!
莫非是一場夢:在甲板上
您到下去,冰冷,永別。
我的船長不作聲,嘴唇慘白,毫不動彈;
我的父親沒感到我的手臂,沒有脈搏,沒有遺言;
船舶拋錨停下,平安抵達;航程終了;
歷經(jīng)艱險返航,奪得勝利目標。
啊,岸上鐘聲齊鳴,啊,人們一片歡騰!
但是,我在甲板上,在船長身旁,
心悲切,步履沉重:
因為他倒下去,冰冷,永別。
Mother's Love
There is no love, like a mother's love,
no stronger bond on earth...
like the precious bond that comes from God,
to a mother, when she gives birth.
A mother's love is forever strong,
never changing for all time...
and when her children need her most,
a mother's love will shine.
God bless these special mothers,
God bless them every one...
for all the tears and heartache,
and for the special work they've done.
When her days on earth are over,
a mother's love lives on...
through many generations,
with God's blessings1 on each one.
Be thankful for our mothers,
for they love with a higher love...
from the power God has given,
and the strength from up above.
Sudden Light
Dante Gabriel Rossett
I have been here before,
But when or how I cannot tell:
I know the grass beyond the door,
The sweet keen smell,
The sighing sound, the lights around the shore.
You have been mine before,
How long ago I may not know:
But just when at that swallow’s soar
Your neck turned so,
Some veil did fall, --- I knew it all of yore.
Has this been thus before?
And shall not thus time’s eddying1 flight
Still with our lives our love restore
In death’s despite,
And day and night yield one delight once more?
頓悟
但丁·加布里埃爾·羅塞蒂
我一定到過此地,
何時,何因,卻不知詳。
只記得門外草依依,
陣陣甜香,
圍繞岸邊的閃光,海的嘆息。
往昔你曾屬于我——
只不知距今已有多久,
但剛才你看飛燕穿梭,
葛然回首,
紗幕落了!——這一切我早就見過。
莫非真有過此情此景?時間的飛旋會不會再一次
恢復我們的生活與愛情,
超越了死,
日日夜夜再給 一次歡欣?
