The sea howl
大海的嚎叫
And the sea yelp, are different voices
和大海的呼喊，是不同的聲音
Often together heard: the whine in the rigging,
常常能同時(shí)聽(tīng)到；帆索的哀鳴聲，
The menace and caress of wave that breaks on water,
海面上巨浪翻滾的恐嚇和愛(ài)撫，
The distant rote in the granite teeth,
遠(yuǎn)處的驚濤在花崗巖的齒縫中的排擊聲，
And the wailing warning from the approaching headland
還有為海岬逼近而發(fā)出的警告的嗚咽聲，
Are all sea voices, and the heaving groaner
這些斗士大海的聲音，還有掉頭朝向歸途的
Rounded homewards, and the seagull:
發(fā)出尖嘯聲的浮標(biāo)和海鷗：
And under the oppression of the silent fog
在悄無(wú)生息的濃霧的壓力下
The tolling bell
那從容不迫的巨浪敲響了
Measures time not our time, rung by the unhurried
隆隆鐘聲，報(bào)告著時(shí)間，但不是我們的時(shí)間，
Ground swell, a time
一種時(shí)間
Older than the time of chronometers, older
比天文鐘計(jì)量的時(shí)間更古老，
Than time counted by anxious worried women
比那些煩惱而焦慮不安的女人們計(jì)算的時(shí)間更古老，
Lying awake, calculating the future,
她們長(zhǎng)夜不寐，計(jì)算著未來(lái)，
Trying to unweave, unwind, unravel
試著把過(guò)去和未來(lái)拆散，解開(kāi)，
And piece together the past and the future,
又把它們重新拼合在一起，
Between midnight and dawn, when the past is all deception,
在夜半和黎明之間，當(dāng)過(guò)去已變?yōu)橐粓?chǎng)欺騙，
The future futureless, before the morning watch
未來(lái)已成為沒(méi)有未來(lái)，在四更之前
When time stops and time is never ending;
時(shí)間停歇，時(shí)間變成永無(wú)終了的時(shí)候；
And the ground swell, that is and was from the beginning,
巨浪滔滔，現(xiàn)在是這樣，有始以來(lái)也是這樣。
Clangs
鐘聲
The bell.
鏗鏘
