Rough winds do shake the darling buds ofMay,And summer's lease hath all too short a date. Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, And often is his gold complexion dimm'd; And every fair from fair sometime declines, By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd;But thy eternal summer shall not fadeNor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st; Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st: So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.She Walks in BeautyGeorge Gordon Byron乔治·拜伦1788-1824She walks in beauty, like the nightOf cloudless climes and starry skies;And all that 's best of dark and brightMeet in her aspect and her eyes:Thus mellow'd to that tender lightWhich heaven to gaudy day denies.One shade the more, one ray the less,Had half impair'd the nameless grace Which waves in every raven tress,Or softly lightens o'er her face;Where thoughts serenely sweet express How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.And on that cheek, and o'er that brow,So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,The smiles that win, the tints that glow,But tell of days in goodness spent,A mind at peace with all below,A heart whose love is innocent!How do I love thee Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806-1861) 英国勃朗宁夫人How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.I love thee to the depth and breadth and height My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.I love thee to the level of everyday'sMost quiet need, by sun and candle-light.I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.I love thee with a passion put to useIn my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.I love thee with a love I seemed to loseWith my lost saints, --- I love thee with the breath,Smiles, tears, of all my life! --- and, if God choose,I shall but love thee better after death.The wreck of the HesperusHenry Wadsworth Longfellow亨利·沃兹沃思·朗费罗1807-1882It was the schooner Hesperus,That sailed the wintry sea;And the skipper had taken his little daughter, To bear him company.Blue were her eyes as the fairy flax,Her cheeks like the dawn of day,And her bosom white as the hawthorn buds, That ope in the month of May.The Skipper he stood beside the helm,His pipe was in his mouth,And he watched how the veering flaw did blowThe smoke now West, now South.Then up and spake an old Sailor,Had sailed the Spanish Main,"I pray thee, put into yonder port,For I fear a hurricane."Last night the moon had a golden ring, And to-night no moon we see!"The skipper, he blew whiff from his pipe, And a scornful laugh laughed he.Colder and louder blew the wind,A gale from the Northeast,The snow fell hissing in the brine,And the billows frothed like yeast.Down came the storm, and smote again The vessel in its strength;She shuddered and paused, like a frightened steed,Then leaped her cable's length."Come hither! come hither! my littledaughter,And do not tremble so;For I can weather the roughest galeThat ever wind did blow."He wrapped her warm in his seaman's coat Against the stinging blast;He cut a rope from a broken spar,And bound her to the mast."O father! I hear the church bells ring, Oh, say, what may it be?""Tis a fog-bell on a rock bound coast!" -- And he steered for the open sea."O father! I hear the sound of guns;Oh, say, what may it be?"Some ship in distress, that cannot liveIn such an angry sea!" "O father! I see a gleaming light.Oh say, what may it be?"But the father answered never a word,A frozen corpse was he.Lashed to the helm, all stiff and stark,With his face turned to the skies,The lantern gleamed through the gleaming snowOn his fixed and glassy eyes.Then the maiden clasped her hands and prayedThat saved she might be;And she thought of Christ, who stilled the wave,On the Lake of Galilee.And fast through the midnight dark and drear, Through the whistling sleet and snow,Like a sheeted ghost, the vessel sweptTow'rds the reef of Norman's Woe.And ever the fitful gusts betweenA sound came from the land;It was the sound of the trampling surf,On the rocks and hard sea-sand.The breakers were right beneath her bows, She drifted a dreary wreck,And a whooping billow swept the crewLike icicles from her deck.She struck where the white and fleecy waves Looked soft as carded wool,But the cruel rocks, they gored her sideLike the horns of an angry bull.Her rattling shrouds, all sheathed in ice, With the masts went by the board;Like a vessel of glass, she stove and sank,Ho! ho! the breakers roared!At daybreak, on the bleak sea-beach,A fisherman stood aghast,To see the form of a maiden fair,Lashed close to a drifting mast.The salt sea was frozen on her breast,The salt tears in her eyes;And he saw her hair, like the brown sea-weed, On the billows fall and rise.Such was the wreck of the Hesperus,In the midnight and the snow!Christ save us all from a death like this,On the reef of Norman's Woe!I sit and look outWalt Whitman沃尔特·惠特曼1819-1892I sit and look out upon all the sorrows of theworld, and upon all oppression andshame;I hear secret convulsive sobs from young men,at anguish with themselves, remorsefulafter deeds done;I see, in low life, the mother misused by herchildren, dying, neglected, gaunt,desperate;I see the wife misused by her husband--I seethe treacherous seducer of youngwomen;I mark the ranklings of jealousy andunrequited love, attempted to be hid--Isee these sights on the earth;I see the workings of battle, pestilence,tyranny--I see martyrs and prisoners;I observe a famine at sea--I observe the sailorscasting lots who shall be kill'd, topreserve the lives of the rest;I observe the slights and degradations cast byarrogant persons upon laborers, the poor,and upon negroes, and the like;All these--All the meanness and agonywithout end, I sitting, look out upon, See, hear, and am silent.America for meHenry Van Dyke 1852 – 1933Tis fine to see the Old World, and travel up and downAmong the famous palaces and cities of renown,To admire the crumply castles and the statues of the kings,But now I think I've had enough of antiquated things.So it's home again, and home again, America for me!My heart is turning home again, and there I long to be,In the land of youth and freedom beyond the ocean bars,Where the air is full of sunlight and the flag is full of stars.Oh, London is a man's town, there's power in the air;And Paris is a woman's town, with flowers in her hair;And it's sweet to dream in Venice, and it's great to study in RomeBut when it comes to living there is just no place like home.I like the German fir-woods, in greenbattalions drilled,I like the gardens of Versailles with flashingfountains filled;But, oh, to take your hand, my dear, and ramble for a dayIn the friendly western woodland where Nature has her way!I know that Europe's wonderful, yetsomething seems to lack:The Past is too much with her, and the people looking back.But the glory of the Present is to make the Future free,We love our land for what she is and what she is to be.Oh, its's home again, and home again,America for me!I want a ship that's westward bound to ploughthe rolling sea,To the blessed Land of Room Enough beyond the ocean bars,Where the air is full of sunlight and the flag is full of stars.When you are oldWilliam Butler Yeats叶芝1865-1939When you are old and gray and full of sleep And nodding by the fire, take down this book, And slowly read, and dream of the soft look Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;How many loved your moments of glad grace, And loved your beauty with love false or true; But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you, And loved the sorrows of your changing face.And bending down beside the glowing bars, Murmur, a little sadly, how love fledAnd paced upon the mountains overhead, And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.The Road Not TakenRobert Frost罗伯特·弗罗斯特1874-1963Two roads diverged in a yellow woodAnd sorry I could not travel bothAnd be one traveler, long I stoodAnd looked down one as far as I couldTo where it bent in the undergrowthThen took the other, as just as fairAnd having perhaps the better claim Because it was grassy and wanted wear Though as for that the passing thereHad worn them really about the sameAnd both that morning equally layIn leaves no step had trodden blackOh, I kept the first for another dayYet knowing how way leads on to wayI doubted if I should ever come backI shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages henceTwo roads diverged in a wood, and I —I took the one less traveled byAnd that has made all the differenceWe Real CoolTHE POOL PLAYERS.SEVEN AT THE GOLDEN SHOVEL.We real cool.

And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side Of my darling- my darling- my life and my bride, In the sepulchre there by the sea,In her tomb by the sounding sea.LeisureWhat is this life if, full of care,We have no time to stand and stare.No time to stand beneath the boughsAnd stare as long as sheep or cows.No time to see, when woods we pass,Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.No time to see, in broad daylight,Streams full of stars, like skies at night.No time to turn at Beauty's glance,And watch her feet, how they can dance.No time to wait till her mouth canEnrich that smile her eyes began.A poor life this if, full of care,We have no time to stand and stare.Do Not Go Gentle into that Good Night Do not go gentle into that good night,Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light.Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightning they Do not go gentle into that good night.Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,Rage, rage against the dying of the light.Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight, And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way, Do not go gentle into that good night.Grave men, near death, who see with blinding夜大06英语本科《英汉翻译》练习题（2）sightBlind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,Rage, rage against the dying of the light.And you, my father, there on the sad height,Curse, bless me now with your fierce tears, Ipray.Do not go gentle into that good night.Rage, rage against the dying of the light.SongChristina Georgena Rossetti 1830-1894When I am dead, my dearest,Sing no sad songs for me;Plant thou no roses at my head,Nor shady cypress tree;Be the green grass above meWith showers and dewdrops wet;And if thou wilt, remember,And if thou wilt, forget.I shall not see the shadows,I shall not feel the rain;I shall not hear the nightingaleSing on, as if in pain;And dreaming through the twilightThat doth not rise nor set,Haply I may remember,And haply may forget.RequiemUnder the wide and starry skyDig the grave and let me lie:Glad did I live and gladly die,And I laid me down with a will.This be the verse you ‘grave for me:Here he lies where he long’d to be;Home is the sailor, home from the sea,And the hunter home from the hill.26。
