答一位淑女 To a Lady——拜倫

　　
當(dāng)人被逐出伊甸園門(mén)，　　
When Man, expell'd from Eden's bowers,

　　在門(mén)首盤(pán)桓，不忍遽去，

　　A moment linger'd near the gate,

　　眼前的一切都棖觸前塵，

　　Each scene recall'd the vanish'd hours,

　　都叫他詛咒未來(lái)的境遇。

　　And bade him curse his future fate.

　　此后，他遠(yuǎn)走異域關(guān)山，

　　But, wandering on through distant climes,

　　學(xué)會(huì)了如何忍受悲苦;

　　He learnt to bear his load of grief;

　　對(duì)往日良辰只付之一嘆，

　　Just gave a sigh to other times,

　　借紛繁景象把心事排除。

　　And found in busier scenes relief.

　　親愛(ài)的瑪麗!我也像這般，

　　Thus, Mary! will it be with me,

　　不得不與你芳姿告別;

　　And I must view thy charms no more;

　　倘若我在你左近盤(pán)桓，

　　For, while I linger near to thee,

　　我也會(huì)嘆惜往日的一切。

　　I sigh for all I knew before.

　　遠(yuǎn)游能使我明智地脫險(xiǎn)，

　　In flight I shall be surely wise,

　　逃離此間魔障的引誘;

　　Escaping from temptation's snare;

　　只要我還能見(jiàn)到這樂(lè)園，

　　I cannot view my paradise

　　就不甘默認(rèn)我無(wú)福消受。

　　Without the wish of dwelling there.
