On a Stair I Stood
我站在樓梯上
Lately as I dreaming on a stair I stood
不久前我站在樓梯上胡思亂想,
you passed me by, and, by looking on my face,
你從身邊走過,看著我的面龐。
blinded by my eyes with the immediate grace of unanticipated neighbourhood.
你那突如其來的優(yōu)雅,讓我的兩眼頓時(shí)一片迷茫。
As lightning splits the clouds,
猶如閃電劈開云團(tuán),
my heart and blood split with your beauty, and began to race,
無與倫比的美麗擊碎了我的心臟;
now ice, now fever, shattered in their place
一陣像冰,一陣似火,
by that unparelleled beatitutde.
胸中的血液奔騰激蕩。
And if your hand in passing had not beckoned--
那一晃而過的手白如天鵝,
your whiter hand than is the swan's white daughter,
向我示意,引我躲過死亡;
Helen, your eyes had wounded me to death.
海倫啊,你的眼睛有如刀劍,
But your hand saved me in the mortal second,
否則我將難逃那犀利的鋒芒。
and your triumphant eyes the moment after
頃刻之間你讓你的俘虜恢復(fù)了氣息,
revived their captive with an alms of breath.
你的眼里閃耀勝利的輝光。
