Stopping by woods on a snowy Evening雪夜林畔小驻
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
我想我认得这座森林,林主的房子就在前村;
却看不见我在此歇马,看他林中飘满的雪景。
by Robert Frost (Amerian,1874-1963) 罗伯特. 佛罗斯特
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
我的小马一定很惊讶,周围望不见什么人家,
竟在一年最暗的黄昏,寒林和冰湖之间停下。
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound’s the sweep
of easy wind and downy flake
马儿摇响身上的串铃,问我这地方该不该停;
此外只有轻风拂雪片,再也听不见其他声音。
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promised to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
森林又暗又深真可羡,但是我已经有约在先,
还要赶多少路才安眠,还要赶多少路才安眠。

The Daffodils(水仙花)
by William Wordsworth (English, 1770 -1850 Lake poets)
人物小传
威廉·华兹华斯(William Wordsworth),英国浪漫主义诗人,文艺复兴运动以来最重要的英国诗人之一,曾是桂冠诗人。其诗歌理论动摇了英国古典主义诗学的统治,有力地推动了英国诗歌的革新和浪漫主义运动的发展。
I wandered lonely as a cloud,
That floats on high o’er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
我好似一朵孤独的流云,高高地飘游在山谷之上,
突然我看到一大片鲜花,是金色的水仙遍地开放;
它们开在湖畔,开在树下,它们随风嬉舞,随风飘荡。
Continuous as the stars that shine,
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line,
Along the margin of a bay;
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in springtly dance.
它们密集如银河的星星,像群星在闪烁一片晶莹,
它们沿着海湾向前伸展,通往远方仿佛无穷无尽:
一眼看去就有千朵万朵,万花摇首舞得多么高兴。
The waves beside them danced; but they
outdid the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed -and-gazed--but little thought,
What wealth the show to me had brought:
粼粼湖波也在近旁欢跳,却不如这水仙舞得轻俏:
诗人遇见这快乐的旅伴,又怎能不感到欢欣雀跃:
我久久凝视——却未领悟,这景象所给我的精神至宝:
For oft, when on my couch I lie,
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye,
which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.
后来多少次我郁郁独卧,感到百无聊赖心灵空漠,
这景象便在脑海中闪现,多少次安慰过我的寂寞;
我的心又随水仙跳起舞来,我的心又重新充满了欢乐。
