It Is a Beauteous Evening, Calm and Free

原诗欣赏

by William Wordsworth

It is a beauteous evening, calm and free,
The holy time is quiet as a Nun
Breathless with adoration; the broad sun
Is sinking down in its tranquillity;

The gentleness of heaven broods o'er the Sea:
Listen! the mighty Being is awake,
And doth with his eternal motion make
A sound like thunder--everlastingly.

Dear Child! dear Girl! that walkest with me here,
If thou appear untouched by solemn thought,
Thy nature is not therefore less divine:

Thou liest in Abraham's bosom all the year;
And worship'st at the Temple's inner shrine,
God being with thee when we know it not.

译诗欣赏

那是个美丽的傍晚

屠岸译

那是个美丽的傍晚，安静，清澈，
神圣的时光，静如修女一样，
屏息着在崇奉礼赞：阔大的太阳
正在一片宁谧中逐渐沉落；

苍天的安详慈悲君临着大海；
听啊！那伟大的生命始终清醒，
用他那永恒的律动发出了一阵阵
轰雷一般的声音——千古不改。
