英国的浪漫主义诗人拜伦,热情奔放,激情洋溢,这是他著名的一首:
She Walks In Beauty 她在美中行
by Lord Byron 拜伦
She walks in beauty, like the night 她走在美的光彩中,象夜晚
Of cloudless climes and starry skies; 皎洁无云而且繁星漫天;
And all that's best of dark and bright 明与暗的最美妙的色泽
Meet in her aspect and her eyes: 在她的仪容和秋波里呈现:
Thus mellow'd to that tender light 耀目的白天只嫌光太强,
Which heaven to gaudy day denies. 它比那光亮柔和而幽暗。
One shade the more, one ray the less, 增加或减少一份明与暗
Had half impair'd the nameless grace 就会损害这难言的美。
Which waves in every raven tress, 美波动在她乌黑的发上,
Or softly lightens o'er her face; 或者散布淡淡的光辉
Where thoughts serenely sweet express 在那脸庞,恬静的思绪
How pure, how dear their dwelling-place. 指明它的来处纯洁而珍贵。
And on that cheek, and o'er that brow, 呵,那额际,那鲜艳的面颊,
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent, 如此温和,平静,而又脉脉含情,
The smiles that win. the tints that glow, 那迷人的微笑,那容颜的光彩,
But tell of days in goodness spent, 都在说明一个善良的生命:
A mind at peace with all below, 她的头脑安于世间的一切,
A heart whose love is innocent! 她的心充溢着真纯的爱情!
《她在美中行》这是拜伦的一首歌颂女性美的抒情诗,描写的是他在舞会上遇到这位身穿孝服的表妹威尔莫特夫人时为其美貌所倾倒,所以写了这首诗。
1. What was the colour of the lady's dress? How do you know?
Black. The poet compared the lady to the night. (...like the night, Of cloudless climes and starry skies).
2. What does "their dwelling place" refer to in the last line of the second stanza?
Their dwelling place refers to the lady's mind or soul. This lady had not only physical beauty but also inner beauty.
3. Where are the lady's winning smiles? How do they appear to the poet?
They are in the poet's imagination. They appear serene, sweet, pure, and perfect. |
