Composed upon Westminster Bridge, September 3, 1802——William Wordsworth

1802年9月3日作于威斯敏斯特橋上

陳紹鵬 譯

Earth has not anything to show more fair:

世間沒有事物能比它美麗：

Dull would he be of soul who could pass by

擦肩而過的都是無趣的魂靈

A sight so touching in its majesty:

它壯麗的景象如此打動人心：

This City now doth, like a garment, wear

此刻的城市像披上了外衣

The beauty of the morning; silent, bare,

穿著美麗的晨曦；靜謐，一覽而盡，

Ships, towers, domes, theatres, and temples lie

船只，樓塔，穹頂，劇場，廟宇盡收眼底

Open unto the fields, and to the sky;

它們敞開于天地；

All bright and glittering in the smokeless air.

在無煙的空氣中顯得明亮而輝熠。

Never did sun more beautifully steep

朝陽從未這般美麗無比

In his first splendour, valley, rock, or hill;

峽谷，巖石，丘陵籠罩在它初現(xiàn)的光輝里；

Ne’er saw I, never felt, a calm so deep!

我未曾目睹和感受過如此深切的寧靜！

The river glideth at his own sweet will:

河流悠然自得，悄悄地流去：

Dear God! the very houses seem asleep;

親愛的上帝！千家萬戶似乎還在歇息；

And all that mighty heart is lying still!

這巨大的心臟依然沉寂！
