The population here must be thin, and I see no passengers on these roads:
這里人口必定稀少，因為路上不見行人。
they stretch out east, west, north, and south -- white, broad, lonely;
一條條道路伸向東南西北--灰白、寬敞、孤零，
they are all cut in the moor, and the heather grows deep and wild to their very verge.
全都穿過荒原，路邊長著茂密的歐石南。
Yet a chance traveller might pass by; and I wish no eye to see me now:
但偶爾也有路人經過，現在我卻不希望有人看見我那么在路標下徘徊，
strangers would wonder what I am doing, lingering here at the sign-post, evidently objectless and lost.
顯得毫無目的，不知所措，陌生人會不知道我在干什么。
I might be questioned: I could give no answer but what would sound incredible and excite suspicion.
我也許會受到盤問，除了說些聽來不可信和令人生疑的話之外，會無言以對。
Not a tie holds me to human society at this moment -- not a charm or hope calls me where my fellow-creatures are
這一時刻我與人類社會完全失去了聯系--沒有一絲魅力或是希望把我召喚到我的同類那里，
none that saw me would have a kind thought or a good wish for me.
沒有誰見到我會對我表示一絲善意或良好的祝愿。
I have no relative but the universal mother, Nature: I will seek her breast and ask repose.
我沒有親人，只有萬物之母大自然。我會投向她的懷抱，尋求安息。
I struck straight into the heath; I held on to a hollow I saw deeply furrowing the brown moorside;
我徑直走進歐石南叢，看見棕色的荒原邊上有一條深陷的溝壑，便一直沿著它往前走去，
I waded knee-deep in its dark growth; I turned with its turnings,
穿行在沒膝的青色樹叢中，順著一個個彎道拐了彎，
and finding a moss-blackened granite crag in a hidden angle, I sat down under it.
在一個隱蔽的角落找到了一塊布滿青苔的花崗巖，在底下坐了下來。
High banks of moor were about me; the crag protected my head: the sky was over that.
我周圍是荒原高高的邊沿，頭上有巖石保護著，巖石上面是天空。
