好诗献给你 （13）女郎夏洛特 The Lady Of Shalott(3)
The Lady Of Shalott(3) – Lord Alfred Tenyson
女郎夏洛特（3） – Lord Alfred Tenyson
And down the river’s dim expanse- Like some bold seër in a trance, Seeing all his own mischance- With a glassy countenance Did she look to Camelot.
那河的水面上幽暗昏沉-像个恍惚的勇敢占卜人，预见到自己的全部不幸-她那木然而呆滞的眼睛遥望着那卡默洛特。
And at the closing of the day She loosed the chain, and down she lay;
天光将冥的茫茫暮色里，她解开船索，躺下在船底；
The broad stream bore her far away, The Lady of Shalott.
让宽阔的河载着她远去，女郎夏洛特。
Lying, robed in snowy white That loosely flew to left and right-
躺着的她穿雪白的衣群，宽松的忽左忽右飘不停-
The leaves upon her falling light- Thro’ the noises of the night She floated down to Camelot;
伴着夜里的天籁和虫鸣-落向她的树叶轻而又轻，她漂向卡默洛特；
And as the boat-head wound along The willowy hills and fields among,
在两岸的柳坡、田野之中，小船在曲曲折折地前进，
They heard her singing her last song, The Lady of Shalott.
>人们听到她最后的歌声，听到这女郎夏洛特。
Heard a carol, mournful, holy, Chanted loudly, chanted lowly,
他们听见的歌忧郁圣洁，一会声音高，一会声音低，
Till her blood was frozen slowly, And her eyes were darken’d wholly, Turn’d to tower’d Camelot;
唱到她血液渐渐地冷却，唱到她完全丧失了视力，望着城堡卡默洛特；
For ere she reach’d upon the tide The first house by the water-side, Singing in her song she died, The Lady of Shalott.
她随波逐流地一路漂去；没漂到岸边第一幢屋子，已在自己的歌声中去世，女郎夏洛特。
Under tower and balcony, By garden-wall and gallery, A gleaming shape she floated by, Dead-pale between the houses high, Silent into Camelot.
白糊糊的身影显得惨白，让船带着漂过塔楼、跳台；她无声地漂过圆墙、阳台，漂过耸立在两岸的高宅，就此漂进卡默洛特。
Out upon the wharfs they came, Knight and burgher, lord and dame, And round the prow they read her name, ‘The Lady of Shalott’
都拥到码头上看个究竟，爵爷和夫人、骑士和市民，在船头上读到她的芳名：‘岛上的女郎夏洛特’
Who is this? and what is here?
这里是什么？这是什么人？
And in the lighted palace near Died the sound of royal cheer;
附近灯火通明的宫殿中，国王举行的欢宴寂无声；
And they cross’d themselves for fear, All the knights at Camelot;
划十字的骑士个个惊恐，个个身在卡默洛特。
But Lancelot mused a little space; He said, “She has a lovely face;
但蓝斯洛沉思了一会；说道，“她长得很美；
God in his mercy lend her grace, The Lady of Shalott”.
愿仁慈的上帝给她恩惠，给这位女郎夏洛特”。
