Edgar Allen Poe (埃德加·愛倫·坡)
這是愛倫·坡寫給已故亡妻弗吉尼亞的一首詩歌,詩中充滿著對妻子濃濃的思念之情,在那海邊的王國里,安娜貝爾·李永遠活著席覆,她的靈魂,是詩人永遠的伴侶啡省。美文就美在一切都來的平鋪直敘娜睛,里面暗藏的感情卻是肉搏洶涌的。如果你喜歡卦睹,請捧起離你心靈最近的文字畦戒,慢慢品味。
It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know.
By the name of ANNABLE LEE;
And this maiden she lived with no other thought,
Than to love and be loved by me.
多年以前结序,
在一個海邊的王國里障斋,住著一位姑娘,
也許你曾聽說徐鹤,
她名字叫安娜貝爾·李——
她唯一的心思垃环,
就是她與我的情意。
I was a child and she was a child,
In this kingdom by the sea返敬;
But we loved with a love that was more than love–
In and my Annable Lee遂庄;
With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven,
Coveted her and me.
那時她和我都很年輕,
在海邊的那個王國里劲赠,
我倆山盟海誓——
我和我的安娜貝爾·李——
連天堂的六翼天使涛目,
對她和我也心生妒意。
And this was the reason that, long ago
In this kingdom by the sea,
A wind belw out of a cloud,chilling
My beautiful Annable Lee凛澎;
So that her highborn kingdom came
And bore her away from me,
To shut her up in a sepulchre.
In this kingdom by the sea.
正因如此霹肝,多年以前
在海邊的那個王國里,
從云間吹來的涼風塑煎。
凍死我的安娜貝爾·李沫换;
于是她顯貴的親戚,
把她從我身旁帶離最铁,
埋入石窟的墓地讯赏,
就在海邊的那個王國里。
The angels, not half So happy in heaven,
Went envying her and me–
Yes! that was the reason (as all men know,in this kingdom by the sea)
That the wind came out of the cloud by night,
Chilling and killing my Annable Lee.
天堂里毫無快樂和天使冷尉,
對她和我一直心存妒意待逞;
對!正因如此
(在海邊那個王國里眾所周知)
夜里從云間吹來的涼風,
凍煞我的安娜貝爾·李网严。
But our love it was stronger by far than the love
of those who were older than we
of many far wiser than we.
And neither the angels in heaven above,
Nor the demons down under the sea,
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul of the beautiful Annable Lee.
但我倆的柔情蜜意,
更年長人的愛不可比擬——
更聰明人的情無法相提——
無論是天堂里的天使嗤无,
還是海底的鬼蜮震束,
都不能使我們的靈魂分離怜庸,
我和我的安娜貝爾·李。
