HOW MANY BARDS GILD THE LAPSES OF TIME!
有多少诗人把黄金镀上流逝的时间！

by John Keats
约翰•济慈

How many bards gild the lapses of time!
有多少诗人把黄金镀上流逝的时间！
A few of them have ever been the food
他们中很少的几位永远成了
Of my delighted fancy,- I could brood
我欣悦想象的食粮，——我能
Over their beauties, earthly, or sublime:
沉思于他们的美丽，现实或庄严：

And often, when I sit me down to rhyme,
经常地，每当我坐下来写诗押韵，
These will in throngs before my mind intrude:
这些就会在我的思绪闯进来时集中：
But no confusion, no disturbance rude
可是没有混乱，没有打扰和骚动
Do they occasion; ‘tis a pleasing chime.
在那时刻不礼貌地发生；这是一种愉快的和音。

So the unnumber’d sounds that evening store;
于是无数的声音被贮藏在黑夜；
The songs of birds- the whisp’ring of the leaves-
鸟儿的歌声，草叶的窃窃私语，
The voice of waters- the great bell that heaves
水流的潺潺——那只巨大的钟响起，

With solemn sound,- and thousand others more,
发出庄重的音色，还有无数别的声音相谐，
That distance of recognizance bereaves,
那可以识别的距离已经失去，
Make pleasing music, and not wild uproar.
美妙的音乐在奏鸣，没有喧嚣和狂野。
