乌鸦(美音)

The Raven

by Edgar Allan Poe

请跟英语兔我一起读:

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary.

从前一个阴郁的子夜, 我独自沉思, 慵懒疲竭,

Over many a quint and curious volume of forgotten lore.

沉思许多古怪而离奇, 早已被人遗忘的传闻 --

While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,

当我开始打盹, 几乎入睡, 突然传来一阵轻擂,

As of some one rapping, rapping at my chamber door.

仿佛有人在轻轻叩击, 轻轻叩击我的房门.

"'Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door--

"有人来了, "我轻声嘟喃, "正在叩击我的房门 --

Only this, and nothing more."

唯此而已, 别无他般. "

——————————

Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December,

哦, 我清楚地记得那是在萧瑟的十二月;

And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.

每一团奄奄一息的余烬都形成阴影伏在地板.

Eagerly I wished the morrow; -vainly I had tried to borrow

我当时真盼望翌日; -- 因为我已经枉费心机

From my books surcease of sorrow - sorrow for the lost Lenore-

想用书来消除悲哀 -- 消除因失去丽诺尔的悲叹 --

For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore-

因那被天使叫作丽诺尔的少女, 她美丽娇艳 --

Nameless here for evermore

在这儿却默默无闻, 直至永远.

——————————

And the silken sad uncertain rustling of each purple curtain

那柔软, 暗淡, 飒飒飘动的每一块紫色窗布

Thrilled me-filled me with fantastic terrors never before;

使我心中充满前所未有的恐怖 -- 我毛骨惊然;

So that now, to still the beating of my heart, I stood repeating

为平息我心儿停跳．我站起身反复叨念

" 'Tis some visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door-

"这是有人想进屋, 在叩我的房门 -- .

Some late visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door;-

更深夜半有人想进屋, 在叩我的房门; --

This it is and nothing more.

唯此而已, 别无他般. "

——————————

Presently my soul grew stronger; hesitating then no longer,

很快我的心变得坚强; 不再犹疑, 不再彷徨,

"Sir," said I, "or Madam, truly your forgiveness I implore;

"先生, "我说, "或夫人, 我求你多多包涵;

But the fact is I was napping, and so gently you came rapping,

刚才我正睡意昏昏, 而你来敲门又那么轻,

And so faintly you came tapping, tapping at my chamber door,

你来敲门又那么轻, 轻轻叩击我的房门,

That I scarce was sure I heard you"--here I opened wide the door;

我差点以为没听见你" -- 说着我拉开门扇; --

Darkness there, and nothing more.

唯有黑夜, 别无他般.
