连姆·尼森 | 深情朗读《万人航行》

It is the month of September in the year 1866

那是1866年的一个九月

an English gentleman Edwin Waugh

一个叫爱德温·华的英国人

who was traveling through the north of Ireland

他旅经爱尔兰的北边

road home to his family

途经家乡的旅途

I was at the Baleny station the other day

那天在Baleny车站

when I saw a distressing scene

我看到了心酸的场景

a company of start young peasants were leaving by the train for Londonderry

刚要坐火车离开家乡到伦敦德里郡的一群年轻农民伙伴

from where they were to take shipping for America

从那儿她们要乘船去到美国

The whole platform was crowded with their friends and relatives

整个站台都站满为她们送别的亲朋好友

all simple rustic folk

流露着淳朴自然

Form hooray headed age leaning upon the staff

年长者倚着拐杖说着祝福的话

to the unconscious infant crowing in his mother's arms

不谙世事的婴儿安然的蜷缩在妈妈的怀抱里

The parting scene was painfully touching.

情景引人不胜唏嘘

Every eye was drowned in tears

人人泪眼婆娑

and wild unrestrained cries of affection

情到深处难自禁

as they embraced each other again and again

他们拥抱了一次又一次

moved even the porters

直到搬运工人到来

to whom such scenes were familiar

对他们来说这是再熟悉不过的场景

As the train began to move slowly away

当火车开始缓慢开动

Two or three of those upon the platform clung screaming to the carriage stores

在站台上的两三个人对着开动的火车失声大喊

until dragged away

直到火车了不见踪影

And amongst the wild outcry that rows who were left behind

这些喧嚣哭嚷的人们才慢慢散去

One poor woman fell back

失意的女人返回家

upon the seat against the wall——wailing

坐在椅子靠在墙上悲叹臆想

oh my darling my darling

哦我亲爱的敬爱的

Whilst an old white headed man hard by

当一个不再年轻的白人努力的

dropped down on his knees

弯下他的膝盖

with uplifted arms cried

举着他的胳膊喊道

Oh, may the hand of the blessed God be about thee

双手会创造奇迹，上帝福佑

my own son！

我最爱的人啊！
