爱如清晨的阳光
Love Like Morning Sun
So often, when I'm alone with my thoughts,
I feel your presence enter me
like the morning sun's early light,
filling my memories and dreams of us
with a warm and clear radiance.
You have become my love, my life,
and together we have shaped our world
until it seems now as natural as breathing.
But I remember when it wasn't always so -
times when peace and happiness seemed more
like intruders in my life than
the familiar companions they are today;
times when we struggled to know each other,
but always smoothing out those rough spots
until we came to share ourselves completely.
We can never rid our lives entirely
of sadness and difficult times
but we
can understand them together, and grow
stronger as individuals and as a loving couple.
If I don't tell you as often as I'd like,
it's because I could never tell you enough -
that I'm grateful for you
sharing your life with mine,
and that my love for you will live forever.
by Edmund O'Neil
著名英语诗歌2渐渐老去What is to grow old?
What is it to grow old?
Is it to lose the glory of the form,
The lustre of the eye?
Is it for beauty to forego her wreath?
Yes, but not for this alone.
什么为之老去?
是失去了引以为傲的形貌?
双眸神采淡去?
亦或是美丽的容颜卸去了桂冠?
是的，然而远非仅此。
Is it to feel our strength?
Not our bloom only, but our strength?decay?
Is it to feel each limb
Grow stiffer, every function less exact,
Each nerve more weakly strung?
是感受到自身的力量
不止青春不再，而且是气力的衰退?
是深觉肢体日益僵硬
动作迟缓
神经松弛萎谢?
Yes, this, and more! but not,
Ah, 'tis not what in youth we dreamed 'twould be!
'Tis not to have our life
Mellowed and softened as with sunset-glow,
A golden day's decline!
是的，就是这样，还有，但并非
哦，这非你我年轻时所幻想的老年!
我们的生命没有变得
如同夕阳的光一般成熟柔和
如一日余晖的熹微!
Tis not to see the world
As from a height, with rapt prophetic eyes,
And heart profoundly stirred;
And weep, and feel the fulness of the past,
The years that are no more!
看着世界
不再自高处以狂喜预言的眼
心不易深深撼动
哭泣，或感受逝去岁月的完满
时之往矣
It is to spend long days
And not once feel that we were ever young.
It is to add, immured
In the hot prison of the present, month
To month with weary pain.
长日漫漫
未觉自己曾拥有年轻
它在岁月中一点点地积累，凝固
于当下的囚笼里，无数日月
增加的虚弱疼痛
It is to suffer this,
And feel but half, and feebly, what we feel:
Deep in our hidden heart
Festers the dull remembrance of a change,
But no emotion none.
它是忍受着所有这一切
以不完全的心，微弱的，去感受一切
在心灵的深处
那些枯燥记忆已慢慢腐化
不遗一丝情感丝毫都没有
It is last stage of all
When we are frozen up within, and quite
The phantom of ourselves,
To hear the world applaud the hollow ghost
Which blamed the living man.
终于来到了人生的最后舞台
当内心冻结，惟剩下
自身的幽灵走动
我们听到世界欢迎着死神的到来
他总谴责着生之众人
著名英语诗歌3A Visit from St. Nicholas 圣尼古拉来访
'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;
在圣诞节前夜，
整间屋里没有一人在吵，
就连老鼠也不闹;
长袜已被小心地挂到烟囱上，
我希望圣尼古拉很快就来到;
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads;
And mamma in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap,
Had just settled our brains for a long winter's nap,
我希望圣尼古拉很快就来到;
孩子们都被舒适地安顿到他们的床上，
虽然他们脑子里还跳动着小糖球的幻影;
妈妈裹起头巾，我戴上帽，
我们刚定下神来要睡个冬天的长觉，
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.
这时外面的草地上有了得得的声响，
我从床上跳起来去看个究竟，
像一道闪光，我扑向窗户，快得像一道闪光
扯开百页窗拉起窗框。
The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow
Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below,
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer,
只见月光洒在新雪的胸膛上，
给月下的万物披上晌午的光芒;
这时竟出现了使我目瞪口呆的景象，
那是一辆小雪橇和八只小小的驯鹿，
With a little old driver, so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name;
上面坐着一个小小的老车夫，
他是这样生气勃勃，动作敏捷，
我马上知道这一定是圣尼古拉。
他的骏鹿跑得比鹰还快，
他吹哨，吆喝，还能叫它们的名字：
"Now, Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen!
On, Comet! on, Cupid! on, Donder and Blitzen!
To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!
Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!"
?嘿，达舍!嘿，丹瑟!
嘿，普兰舍和维克星!
前进，科米特!前进，朱庇特!
前进，唐德和布利琛!
嘿，冲呀，冲呀，一起给我冲，
冲到门廊顶，冲向围墙的顶!?
As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky;
So up to the house-top the coursers they flew,
With the sleigh full of Toys, and St. Nicholas too.
它们决得就像枯叶随着疯狂的飓风，
遇到障碍就升向天空，
拉着装满玩具的雪橇，还有圣尼古拉，
驯鹿飞到了屋顶，
And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof
The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.
As I drew in my head, and was turning around,
Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound.
转眼之间我就听到屋顶
有小蹄子腾跃踢踏的响声，
当我缩进头来转过身，
就看见圣尼古拉从烟囱上一跳而下，
He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot;
A bundle of Toys he had flung on his back,
And he looked like a peddler just opening his pack.
他全身上下都穿皮裘，
他的衣服因盖满烟灰而失去光华，
他背上背着一包玩具，
他看起来就像是小贩正在开包，
His eyes?how they twinkled! his dimples how merry!
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow
And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow;
他的眼睛闪闪发光!他的酒涡充满欢乐!
他的两颊红得像玫瑰，他的鼻子像是樱桃;
他那滑稽的小嘴就像画的一把弓，
他下颌的胡子像雪一样白，
The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,
And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath;
He had a broad face and a little round belly,
That shook when he laughed, like a bowlful of jelly.
他的牙齿紧咬着一个烟斗。
白烟就像花圈绕着他的头，
他有一副宽宽的脸和小小的圆肚，
当他笑的时候，
He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,
And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself;
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread;
那小肚震得就像一个碗装满果冻。
他的个子圆圆胖胖，
真假是一个快活的老顽童;
我看到他时情不自禁地笑了，
他转过头向我眨了眨眼睛，
让我知道什么也不用怕，
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
And filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk,
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose;
他一句话没说就去干活，
他把每一只长袜都装满后就急忙转身，
他把手指放在鼻子边上，
点点头又跳上烟囱，
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle,
But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight,
"Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night."
他跃上雪橇，向他的鹿队吹声哨，
他们就像蓟花的冠毛一样又飞走
在他驶开之前，我听到他大喊，
?大家圣诞快乐，诸位晚安!?

欧美经典英语诗歌：海之恋
I MUST go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by,
And the wheel's kick and the wind's song and the white sail's shaking,
And a gray mist on the sea's face, and a gray dawn breaking.
我多想再次回到大海，
回到那寂寥的海天相连
我只想独自驾驶那高大的帆船，看浪花和白帆在风的歌唱中飞舞
雾雨弥漫在海面，透出曙色一线
I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.
我多想再次回到大海
倾听那奔越的潮汐的呐喊
那野性的呼唤如此清晰使我无法拒绝
风舞云飞，浪花涌溅，还有那海鸥的哭啼，是我唯一的惦念
I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life,
To the gull's way and the whale's way, where the wind's like a whetted knife;
And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover,
And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick's over.我一定要再次回到大海
似吉普赛人浪迹天边
像海鸥，像鲸鱼，咧咧的风像一把锋利的刀
我只想似流浪者笑对如戏人生，让欺诈在静谧、甜美的梦中消散
欧美经典英语诗歌：货物
With a cargo of ivory,
And apes and peacocks,
Sandalwood, cedarwood, and sweet white wine.
满载货物，
象牙，孔雀，猿猴，
还有檀香，雪松和甜白酒。
Stately Spanish galleon coming from the Isthmus,
Dipping through the Tropics by the palm-green shores,
With a cargo of diamonds,
Emeralds, amethysts,
Topazes, and cinnamon, and gold moidores.
西班牙的大帆船庄严豪华，
来自巴拿马地峡，
经略那些热带棕榈绿的国家，
满载钻石，翡翠，紫水晶，
还有黄玉，肉桂，金币来自巴西和葡萄牙。
Dirty British coaster with a salt-caked smoke stack,
Butting through the Channel in the mad March days,
With a cargo of Tyne coal,
Road-rails, pig-lead,
Firewood, iron-ware, and cheap tin trays.
肮脏的英国轮船，大烟囱粘结着盐巴，
在狂躁的三月天，穿过英吉利海峡。
装载着铁轨，铅锭，泰恩煤炭，
木柴，铁器，
和廉价的锡盘。
欧美经典英语诗歌：羊齿山
Now as I was young and easy under the apple boughs
about the lilting house and happy as the grass was green，
The night above the dingle starry，
Time let me hail and climb
Golden in the heydays of his eyes，
And honoured among wagons I was prince of the apple towns
And once below a time I lordly had the trees and leaves
Trail with daisies and barley
Down the rivers of the windfall light.
现在，当我年青而自在地坐在苹果树下，
挨着低吟的屋子，因绿草而快乐，
夜悬于星星的幽谷上，
时光让我欢呼让我攀爬
在他眼中的金色年华
车马拥簇中我是苹果国王子，
曾几何时我也雍容地让树儿叶儿
连同稚菊和大麦随我
沿着风吹的日光之河巡游。
And as I was green and carefree， famous among the barns
about the happy yard and singing as the farm was home，
In the sun that is young once only，
Time let me play and be
Golden in the mercy of his means，
And green and golden I was huntsman and herdsman， the calves
Sang to my horn， the foxes on the hills barked clear and cold，
And the sabbath rang slowly
In the pebbles of the holy streams.
当我绿着，无忧无虑，在欢乐庭院
的谷仓间扬名，歌唱农场家园，
在只年轻一次的太阳里，
时光让我嬉戏让我成为
金**，受他恩宠，
翠绿与金黄之中我是猎手和牧人，牛犊们
随我的号角歌唱，山上狐狸们吠声清冷
而安息日缓缓叮咚
在圣泉里的鹅卵石间。
All the sun long it was running， it was lovely， the hay
Fields high as the house， the tunes from the chimneys， it was air
And playing， lovely and watery
And fire green as grass.
And nightly under the simple stars
As I rode to sleep the owls were bearing the farm away，
All the moon long I heard， blessed among stables， the nightjars
Flying with the ricks， and the horses
Flashing into the dark.
长长白日里它跑着，好可爱，干草田
屋子一样高，烟囱里飘出歌谣，它朝气篷勃，
嬉戏着，水灵，可爱，
草一般燃烧着绿。
夜间寥落星辰下，
当我驶入梦乡，猫头鹰便驮走农场，
长长月夜里我在马厩中倾听、祈求，夜鹰们
与草垛齐飞，马儿们
闪入黑暗深处。
And then to awake， and the farm， like a wanderer white
With the dew， come back， the cock on his shoulder： it was all
Shining， it was Adam and maiden，
The sky gathered again
And the sun grew round that very day.
So it must have been after the birth of the simple light
In the first， spinning place， the spellbound horses walking warm
Out of the whinnying green stable
On to the fields of praise.
然后就醒了，农场像游子归来，
一身露水白，公鸡立肩头：一切
皆闪光，一切皆是夏娃亚当，
天空再次聚合，
就是那一天太阳长圆。
所以应是在熹光降临之际，
在最初的纺绩地，着魔的马群暖暖走出
绿色嘶鸣的马厩，
前往荣耀的土地。
And honoured among foxes and pheasants by the gay house
Under the new made clouds and happy as the heart was long，
In the sun born over and over，
I ran my heedless ways，
My wishes raced through the house high hay
And nothing I cared， at my sky blue trades， that time allows
In all his tuneful turning so few and such morning songs
Before the children green and golden
Follow him out of grace，
欢乐的屋子边上，新裁的云朵下面，
与狐狸山雉们相伴，快乐得心跳舒长，
在一次次重生的太阳里
我随意地奔走，
我的祈愿窜过屋子高的草垛
而我毫不在意，对我的天蓝色生计，时光
在他悠然回转间让稀落的晨歌
在孩子们的翠绿与金黄面前
随他一道黯然逝去。
Nothing I cared， in the lamb white days， that time would take me
Up to the swallow thronged loft by the shadow of my hand，
In the moon that is always rising，
Nor that riding to sleep
I should hear him fly with the high fields
And wake to the farm forever fled from the childless land.
Oh as I was young and easy in the mercy of his means，
Time held me green and dying
Though I sang in my chains like the sea.
我毫不在意，羔羊般洁白的日子里，时光
携我手的阴影把我带上永恒升着的月亮里，
那聚满燕子的阁楼，
也不在意驶入长梦时，
我会听他随高高的田野飞翔，
而后苏醒在农场，永远远离没有孩童的世界。
噢!当我年青而自在地受他恩宠，
时光曾让我绿过也让我死去，
即使我套着枷锁唱着大海之歌。
