本尼迪克特·康伯巴奇 | 朗读诗歌《美丽的黄昏》

It is a Beauteous Evening

《美丽的黄昏》

It is a beauteous evening, calm and free,

这美丽的黄昏，安谧、舒心，

The holy time is quiet as a nun

修女般娴静的神圣时辰

Breathless with adoration; the broad sun

怀着仰慕、崇敬，屏息静神，

Is sinking down in its tranquility;

恢宏的落日正悄悄西沉；

The gentleness of heaven broods o'er the sea:

 海上笼罩着天宇的温馨：

Listen! the mighty Being is awake,

听！强有力的生命在苏醒，

And doth with his eternal motion make

以不息的躁动发出声音

A sound like thunder - everlastingly.

如永不消停的惊雷滚滚，

Dear Child! dear Girl! that walkest with me here,

亲爱的女儿！陪着我散步，

If thou appear untouched by solemn thought,

严肃的思想你若无感触，

Thy nature is not therefore less divine:

你敬神依旧，你性情如故：

Thou liest in Abraham's bosom all the year,

你整年躺在先知的胸脯，

And worship'st at the Temple's inner shrine,

庙宇内神龛前你在祷祝，

God being with thee when we know it not.

神出乎意料地与你同在。
