With Ships the Sea Was Sprinkled Far and Nigh

With Ships the Sea Was Sprinkled Far and Nigh

                        by William Wordsworth

WIth Ships the Sea Was Sprinkled Far and Nigh

With Ships the sea was sprinkled far and nigh,
Like stars in heaven, and joyously it showed;
Some lying fast at anchor in the road,
Some veering up and down, one knew not why.
A goodly Vessel did I then espy
Come like a giant from a haven broad;
And lustily along the bay she strode,
Her tackling rich, and of apparel high.
This Ship was nought to me, nor I to her,
Yet I pursued her with a Lover's look;
This Ship to all the rest did I prefer:
When will she turn, and whither? She will brook
No tarrying; where She comes the winds must stir:
On went She, and due north her journey took.

大海远近布满许多船只

      威廉·华兹华斯

大海远近布满许多船只，
像天上星星，海为之欢笑；
有些安稳地在途中抛锚，
有些浪中颠簸，底蕴难知。
我看见一艘，潇洒地行驶，
似艨艟离巨港，帆影高高，
沿着海湾破浪，气势雄豪
索具桅樯不胜堂皇之至。
船与我，我与船，两无干系，
但以恋人目光款款相随，
比起其他唯她牵我情意。
她往哪里，什么时候回归？
她不延搁，风总伴她行迹。
行程不断。正北是她方位。
