LESSON 109 THE RAVEN
第一百零九課 烏鴉
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore.
從前，一個抑郁難耐的子夜，我殫慮苦思，懶蜷無力，離奇古怪的念頭縈繞腦際全是遺忘許久的陳年舊事。
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, as of someone gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
恍惚間盹睡襲來，突然傳來輕拍的聲音，好像有人輕聲叩擊，輕叩我的房門。
"T is some visitor," I muttered, "Tapping at my chamber door. Only this, and nothing more."
“有客造訪，”我輕語，“輕拍我的房門，除此之外，別無他故。”
Ah, distinctly I remember, it was in the bleak December, and each separate dying ember, wrought its ghost upon the floor.
啊，我清楚地記得，那是在陰冷的冬月；每一團即將熄滅的余燼都在地上形成鬼魅般的陰影。
Eagerly I wished the morrow; Vainly I had sought to borrow from my books surcease of sorrow.
我切盼翌日盡快來臨；因為我徒勞地想用書本來打發(fā)哀愁。
Sorrow for the lost Lenore for the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore — Nameless here for evermore.
那因失去麗諾爾而生的悲哀——那被天使們喚作麗諾爾的少女光彩明艷，世間罕有，在這里籍籍無名，永遠。
And the silken, sad, uncertain rustling of each purple curtain thrilled me, filled me with fantastic terrors, never felt before;
柔軟、不成形、沙沙作響的每一塊紫色窗布，我一陣戰(zhàn)栗——心中充滿異乎尋常的恐怖，以前從未感知；
So that now, to still the beating of my heart, I stood repeating, "T is some visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door.
此刻，為使我狂跳的心兒平靜。我站起身一再重復(fù)，“這是有客倚門請求欲登門而入。
Some late visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door; This it is, and nothing more."
夜半更深復(fù)倚門請求，欲登門而入；除此之外，別無他故。”
