And nightly under the simple stars As I rode to sleep the owls were bearing the farm away， All the moon long I heard， blessed among stables， the nightjars Flying with the ricks， and the horses Flashing into the dark. 长长白日里它跑着，好可爱，干草田 屋子一样高，烟囱里飘出歌谣，它朝气篷勃， 嬉戏着，水灵，可爱， 草一般燃烧着绿。 夜间寥落星辰下， 当我驶入梦乡，猫头鹰便驮走农场， 长长月夜里我在马厩中倾听、祈求，夜鹰们 与草垛齐飞，马儿们 闪入黑暗深处。 And then to awake， and the farm， like a wanderer white With the dew， come back， the cock on his shoulder： it was all Shining， it was Adam and maiden， The sky gathered again And the sun grew round that very day. So it must have been after the birth of the simple light In the first， spinning place， the spellbound horses walking warm Out of the whinnying green stable On to the fields of praise. 然后就醒了，农场像游子归来， 一身露水白，公鸡立肩头：一切 皆闪光，一切皆是夏娃亚当， 天空再次聚合， 就是那一天太阳长圆。 所以应是在熹光降临之际， 在最初的纺绩地，着魔的马群暖暖走出 绿色嘶鸣的马厩， 前往荣耀的土地。 And honoured among foxes and pheasants by the gay house Under the new made clouds and happy as the heart was long， In the sun born over and over， I ran my heedless ways， My wishes raced through the house high hay And nothing I cared， at my sky blue trades， that time allows In all his tuneful turning so few and such morning songs Before the children green and golden Follow him out of grace， 欢乐的屋子边上，新裁的云朵下面， 与狐狸山雉们相伴，快乐得心跳舒长， 在一次次重生的太阳里 我随意地奔走， 我的祈愿窜过屋子高的草垛 而我毫不在意，对我的天蓝色生计，时光 在他悠然回转间让稀落的晨歌 在孩子们的翠绿与金黄面前 随他一道黯然逝去。 Nothing I cared， in the lamb white days， that time would take me Up to the swallow thronged loft by the shadow of my hand， In the moon that is always rising， Nor that riding to sleep I should hear him fly with the high fields And wake to the farm forever fled from the childless land. Oh as I was young and easy in the mercy of his means， Time held me green and dying Though I sang in my chains like the sea. 我毫不在意，羔羊般洁白的日子里，时光 携我手的阴影把我带上永恒升着的月亮里， 那聚满燕子的阁楼， 也不在意驶入长梦时， 我会听他随高高的田野飞翔， 而后苏醒在农场，永远远离没有孩童的世界。 噢!当我年青而自在地受他恩宠， 时光曾让我绿过也让我死去， 即使我套着枷锁唱着大海之歌。 经典外国英语诗歌：为国捐躯 Bent double, like old beggars under sacks, Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge, Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs, And towards our distant rest began to trudge. Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots, But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame, all blind; Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots Of gas-shells dropping softly behind. 把身子扳弯，像个包袱底下的老叫花子 膝外翻，像个老太婆一样地咳嗽，我们在污泥之中咒诅， 直到那不祥的照明弹出现，我们转过背去 开始朝着我方休整兵营跋涉。 人们半睡半醒地行进。许多人丢了靴子 却仍步履蹒跚，血流不止地走。都瘸了;都瞎了; 累晕了;聋得都听不到弹片飞鸣， 在刚刚走过的地方掉下的沉重的五九炮弹。 Gas! Gas! Quick, boys! - An ecstay of fumbling, Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time, But someone still was yelling out and stumbling And floundering like a man in fire or lime. - Dim through the misty panes and thick green light As under a green sea, I saw him drowning. 氯气弹!氯气弹!快跑啊，兄弟们!——一阵疯狂的折腾， 及时地把粗劣的面具带上了; 但是有些人还在喊叫，跌跌撞撞， 像是在火焰或是消石灰之中苦苦挣扎…… 黑暗，透过雾蒙蒙的镜片和浓绿的亮光， 像在绿色之海下面，我看见他在溺亡。 In all my dreams before my helpless sight He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning. 在我的迷梦中，在我无助的视线前， 他投向我，奄奄一息，呛溺。 If in some smothering dreams, you too could pace Behind the wagon that we flung him in, And watch the white eyes writhing in his face, His hanging face, like a devil's sick of sin; If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs, Bitter as the cud of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues, - My friend, you would not tell with such high zest To children ardent for some desperate glory, The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est Pro patria mori. 假使是在一个窒息的梦里，你也可以跟随 在我们将他装进去的车的后面， 看着他脸上苍白的眼睛扭动， 他那如绞死般的面容，像是魔鬼的罪恶之病; 假使你能听见，当每一次的颠簸，血 从肺泡破碎的肺叶中流出，在嘴里发出漱口的声音， 如癌症般猥琐，苦得像是难咽的反刍物， 不治的疮在无罪的舌头上， 我的朋友，你就不会如此热情地传讲 古老的谎言：为国捐躯，
