LESSON 7 The sea-gull
第七課 海鷗
Other white sea-gull, the wild sea-gull,
啊，野生的白色海鷗，
A joyful bird is he,
他是一只快樂的鳥兒，
As he lies like a cradled thing at rest
他像是懷抱著東西般休憩
In the arms of a sunny sea!
在陽光明媚的大海的懷抱中！
The little waves rock to and fro,
小波浪來回搖動，
And the white gull lies asleep,
白色的海鷗睡著了，
As the fisher's bark, with breeze and tide,
伴著漁夫的喊聲，和風與潮汐，
Goes merrily over the deep.
愉快地向深處前行。
The ship, with her fair sails set, goes by,
船，張起了帆，掠過，
And her people stand to note
她的子民起身看到
How the sea-gull sits on the rocking waves,
海鷗坐在搖晃的波浪上，
As if in an anchored boat.
好像乘著一條下錨的船。
The sea is fresh, the sea is fair,
海是清新的，也是美麗的，
And the sky calm over head,
頭頂的天空平靜下來，
And the sea-gull lies on the deep deep sea,
海鷗躺在深海處，
Like a king in his royal bed!
如睡在王宮御床上的國王！
O the white sea-gull, the bold sea-gull,
啊，勇敢的白色海鷗，
A joyful bird is he,
他是一只快樂的鳥兒，
Throned, like a king, in calm repose,
像一位國王那樣平靜安詳，
On the breast of the heaving sea!
在波濤洶涌的大海的懷抱中！
The waves leap up, the wild wind blows,
波浪跳躍，狂風大作，
And the gulls together crowd,
海鷗聚集在一起，
And wheel about, and madly scream
四處飛旋、瘋狂地尖叫
To the deep sea roaring loud:
對深海大聲地咆哮：
And let the sea roar ever so loud,
讓大海吼得再大聲些，
And the wind pipe ever so high,
狂風刮得那么高，
With a wilder joy the bold sea-gull
一只更快樂而勇敢的海鷗
Send the forth a wilder cry; —
發出猛烈的叫聲；—
For the sea-gull he is a daring bird,
對海鷗來說，他是一只勇敢的鳥兒，
And he loves with the storm to sail;
他喜歡與風暴同行；
To ride in the strength of the billowy sea,
坐在波濤洶涌的海波之上，
And to breast the driving gale!
在颶風中飛馳！
The little boat she is tossed about
她那顛簸的小船
Like a sea-weed, to and fro;
像海苔一樣，來來回回；
The tall ship reels like a drunken man,
高大的船軸像個醉酒的人，
As the gusty tempests blow;
突然刮起的風暴猛擊著；
But the sea-gull laughs at the fear of man,
而海鷗卻在嘲笑人的恐懼，
And sails, in a wild delight,
在狂喜中掠過，
On the torn-up breast of the night-black sea,
在那漆黑的碎裂的海面上，
Like a foam-cloud, calm and white.
像一朵泡沫之云，寧靜而潔白。
