The Solitary Reaper
孤独的割麦女
文章详解
Behold her, single in the field,
看她，在田里独自一个，
Yon solitary Highland Lass!
那个苏格兰高原的少女！
Reaping and singing by herself;
独自在收割，独自在唱歌；
Stop here, or gently pass!
停住吧，或者悄悄走过去！
Alone she cuts and binds the grain
她独自割麦，又把它捆好，
And sings a melancholy strain;
唱着一只忧郁的曲调；
Oh listen! For the vale profound
听啊！整个深邃的谷地
Is overflowing with the sound.
都有这一片歌声在洋溢。
No nightingale did ever chaunt
从没有夜莺能够唱出
More welcome notes to weary bands
更美的音调来欢迎结队商，
Of travelers in some shady haunt,
疲倦了，到一个荫凉的去处
Among Arabian sands;
就在阿拉伯沙漠的中央：
A voice so thrilling ne'er was heard
杜鹃鸟在奏叫得多动人，
In spring-time from the cuckoo-bird
也没有这样子荡人心魂，
Breaking the silence of the seas
尽管它惊破了远海的静悄，
Among the farthest Hebrides.
响彻了赫伯里底群岛。
Will no one tell me what she sings?
她唱的是什么，可有谁说得清？
Perhaps the plaintive numbers flow
哀怨的曲调里也许在流传
For old, unhappy, far-off things,
古老，不幸，悠久的事情，
And battles long ago:
还有长远以前的征战；
Or is it some more humble lay.
或者她唱的并不特殊，
Familiar matter of to-day?
只是今日的家常事故？
Some natural sorrow, loss, or pain，
那些天然的丧忧、哀痛，
That has been, and may be again?
有过的，以后还会有的种种？
What'er the theme, the maiden sang
不管她唱的是什么题目，
As if her song could have no ending;
她的歌好象会没完没了；
I saw her singing at her work,
我看见她边唱边干活，
And o'er the sickle bending;
弯着腰，挥动她的镰刀——
I listened, motionless and still;
我一动也不动，听了许久；
And , as I mounted up the hill,
后来，当我上山的时候，
The music in my heart I bore,
我把歌声还记在心上，
Long after it was heard no more.
虽然早已听不见声响。
