I felt the consecration of its loneliness:
體會到它所奉獻的孤寂。
my eye feasted on the outline of swell and sweep --
我的眼目盡情地享受著起伏的荒原，
on the wild colouring communicated to ridge and dell by moss,
享受著山脊上與山谷中由青苔、灰色歐石南、和
by heath-bell, by flower-sprinkled turf,
小花點點的草地、鮮艷奪目的歐洲蕨
by brilliant bracken, and mellow granite crag.
顏色柔和的花崗巖所形成的荒野色彩。
These details were just to me what they were to them --
這些點滴景物之于我如同之于她們
so many pure and sweet sources of pleasure.
都是無數純潔可愛的快樂源泉。
The strong blast and the soft breeze;
猛烈的狂風和柔和的微風、
the rough and the halcyon day;
凄風苦雨的天氣和平平靜靜的日子、
the hours of sunrise and sunset;
日出時分和日落時刻、
the moonlight and the clouded night, developed for me,
月光皎潔的夜晚和烏云密布的黑夜，都使我
in these regions, the same attraction as for them --
同他們一樣深為這個地區所吸引，
wound round my faculties the same spell that entranced theirs.
都對我如同對他們一樣，產生了一種魔力。
Indoors we agreed equally well.
在家里我們一樣相處得很融洽。
They were both more accomplished and better read than I was;
她們比我更有造詣，讀的書也更多。
but with eagerness I followed in the path of knowledge they had trodden before me.
但是我急切地走著她們在我前面踩踏出來的知識之路。
I devoured the books they lent me:
我狼吞虎咽地讀著他們借給我的書，
then it was full satisfaction to discuss with them in the evening what I had perused during the day.
而夜晚與她們切磋我白天讀過的書是—種極大的滿足。
Thought fitted thought; opinion met opinion:
我們想法一致，觀點相合，
we coincided, in short, perfectly.
總之大家意氣相投。
If in our trio there was a superior and a leader, it was Diana.
如果我們三人中有一位更出色者和領袖，那就是黛安娜。
Physically, she far excelled me: she was handsome; she was vigorous.
體態上她遠勝于我，漂亮而精力過人，
In her animal spirits there was an affluence of life and certainty of flow, such as excited my wonder, while it baffled my comprehension.
活潑而有生氣，流動著一種使我為之驚異又難以理解的豐富的生命力，
I could talk a while when the evening commenced,
夜晚的最初時刻，我還能談一會兒，
but the first gush of vivacity and fluency gone,
但第一陣子輕松自如的談話之后，
I was fain to sit on a stool at Diana's feet,
我便只好坐在黛安娜腳邊的矮凳上，
to rest my head on her knee, and listen alternately to her and Mary,
把頭靠在她膝頭上，輪流聽著她和瑪麗
while they sounded thoroughly the topic on which I had but touched.
深談著我只觸及了皮毛的話題。
