Presently my soul grew stronger; Hesitating then no longer, "Sir," said I, "or Madam, truly your forgiveness I implore;
不久我的心變得堅硬；不再猶疑躊躇，“先生，”我說，“或者夫人，我真誠請你海涵；
But the fact is I was napping, and so gently you came rapping, and so faintly you came tapping, tapping at my chamber door,
事實上我正睡意正濃，而你叩門竟那樣輕，敲門何竟如此輕，輕叩我的房門，
that I scarce was sure I heard you. "Here I opened wide the door; Darkness there, and nothing more.
我?guī)缀鯖]聽到那聲音。”說著，我推開門扇；除了黑魆魆，別無他物。
Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortals ever dared to dream before;
凝視幽幽夜色，我站在門邊驚懼徜徉許久，疑懼中仿佛夢到從前沒人敢夢到的夢境；
But the silence was unbroken, and the stillness gave no token, and the only word there spoken was the whispered word, "Lenore!"
可寂靜被打破了，沒有任何征兆，只有一個名字我悄聲而出，“麗諾爾！”
This I whispered, and an echo murmured back the word, "Lenore!"
我一出口，回聲把“麗諾爾！”悄悄送還，
Merely this, and nothing more. Back into the chamber turning, all my soul within me burning,
只此而已，再無他聲。我轉身回到房中，我的心兒被火灼痛，
soon again I heard a tapping, something louder than before.
很快我又聽到叩門聲，比剛才更甚。
"Surely," said I, "surely, that is something at my window lattice;
“肯定，”我說，“肯定是我窗欞那兒的動靜；
Let me see then, what thereat is, and this mystery explore.
我去瞧個究竟，去把那秘密找尋。
Let my heart be still a moment, and this mystery explore. 'T is the wind, and nothing more."
讓我的心先平靜一會兒，去把那秘密找尋。不過是風，別無他物。”
