长篇经典诗歌:Ulysses 尤利西斯(中英对照)|英语诗歌散文

Ulysses 尤利西斯

It little profits that an idle king,By this still hearth, among these barren crags,Matched with an aged wife, I mete and doleUnequal laws unto a savage race,That hoard, and sleep, and feed, and know not me.我是一个老国王，整天坐在火炉旁，陪着我的老皇后，生活清闲又无聊，我的岛国山连山，人民愚蠢又野蛮。我颁布法律数不清，好让他们不捣乱。法律不是很公平，整治他们难上难。他们吃了睡，睡了吃，一点不懂我心思。

I cannot rest from travel: I will drinkLife to the lees: all times I have enjoyedGreatly, have suffered greatly, both with those我已休息很充分，我要出门去远征。不爱享受和安闲，乘风破浪若等闲。在我过去一生里，吃过的苦头赛黄连，享受的快乐比密甜。

That loved me, and alone; on shore, and whenThrough scudding drifts the rainy HyadesVest the dim sea: I am become a name;For always roaming with a hungry heart有时结队去远航，有时孤独去高原，穿越深林和河流，不怕艰险永向前。

Much have I seen and known; cities of menAnd manners, climates, councils, governments,Myself not least, but honoured of them all;见过无数大城市，古怪的民族和衣裳，风俗，动物，和王朝，奇花异草吐芬芳。交往结交皆洋人，天下无人不知君 。

And drunk delight of battle with my peers;Far on the ringing plains of windy Troy.I am part of all that I have met;曾和藩王去远征，来到遥远的特洛伊，葡萄美酒夜光杯，木马屠城美名传。

Yet all experience is an arch wherethroughGleams that untravelled world, whose margin fadesFor ever and for ever when I move.How dull it is to pause, to make an end,唉，经历只是一扇门，透过大门我还见，未知世界在远方，光怪陆离闪金光。只要我向前走一步，她就后退两三步，永远和我捉迷藏，我心不知在何方。

To rust unburnished, not to shine in use!As though to breath were life. Life piled on lifeWere all to little, and of one to meLittle remains: but every hour is savedFrom that eternal silence, something more,A bringer of new things; and vile it wereFor some three suns to store and hoard myself,And this gray spirit yearning in desireTo follow knowledge like a sinking star,Beyond the utmost bound of human thought.吃喝玩乐非所愿，我的理想不寻常，宁愿丧生在旅途，不愿老死在病床。即使生命快结束，也要追求新事物，天涯海角走一遭。 1/2    1 2 下一页 尾页
