　　初中一年级英语小诗歌(三)

　　混血姑娘

　　1

　　The Slaver in the broad lagoon

　　Lay moored with idle sail;

　　He waited for the rising moon

　　And for the evening gale.

　　奴隶贩子把帆船停在

　　宽阔的咸水湖中;

　　他要等待上升的月亮,

　　等待黄昏的海风.

　　2

　　Under the shore his boat was tied,

　　And all her listless crew

　　Watched the gray alligator slide，

　　Into the still bayou.

　　他的船拴在岸边,那一群

　　无精打采的水手

　　注视着一条灰白的鳄鱼

　　游入静静的湖口.

　　3

　　Odours of orange-flowers and spice

　　Reached them from time to time,

　　Like the airs that breathing from

　　Paradise

　　Upon a world of crime.

　　橙花和豆蔻的阵阵香气

　　飘送到他们身边,

　　有如天国的仙风袅袅

　　吹到罪恶的人间.

　　4

　　The Planter, under his roof of thatch,

　　Smoked thoughtfully and slow;

　　The Slaver’s thumb was on the latch,

　　He seemed in haste to go.

　　棕叶盖顶的屋里,农场主

　　想着心事,抽着烟;

　　奴隶贩子,象急着要走,

　　大拇指按着门闩.

　　5

　　He said, “My ship at anchor rides

　　In yonder broad lagoon;

　　I only wait the evening tides

　　And the rising of the moon.”

　　他说:"我的帆船就停在

　　宽阔的咸水湖上;

　　我只等着晚上的潮水,

　　等着上升的月亮."

　　6

　　Before them, with her face upraised,

　　In timid attitude,

　　Like one half curious, half amazed,

　　A Quadroon maiden stood.

　　他们面前,仰脸站着的

　　是一个混血女郎,

　　有几分好奇,有几分害怕

　　怯生生可怜模样.

　　7

　　Her eyes were large and full of light,

　　Her arms and neck were bare;

　　No garment she wore save a kirtle bright,

　　And her own long, raven hair.

　　她脖子、胳臂露在外边,

　　一双眼又亮又大;

　　身上除了那鲜明的袍子,

　　只披着长长的黑发.

　　8

　　And on her lips there played a smile，

　　As holy, meek, and faint,

　　As lights in some cathedral aisle

　　The features of a saint.

　　一丝笑意浮现在唇边,

　　圣洁、温柔、恬淡,

　　有如教堂廊道的灯火,

　　有如圣者的容颜.

　　9

　　“The soil is barren,——the farm is old;”

　　The thoughtful Planter said;

　　Then looked upon the Slaver’s gold,

　　And then upon the maid.

　　农场主想着心事,叨咕着:

　　"这农场,地老,田荒;"

　　他看看奴隶贩子的金子,

　　又看看身边的女郎.

　　10

　　His heart within him was at strife

　　With such accursed gains;

　　For he knew whose passions gave her life,

　　Whose blood ran in her veins.

　　他心里有斗争,晓得是罪孽:

　　只有他,才最了解

　　是谁的情欲给了她生命,

　　他的血管里流着谁的血.

　　11

　　But the voice of nature was too weak;

　　He took the glittering gold!

　　Then pale as death grew the maiden’s cheek;

　　Her hands as icy cold.

　　可是天性的呼声太微弱,

　　他抓起亮晶晶的黄金!

　　女郎的双颊死一样惨白,

　　他两手冷得象冰.

　　12

　　The Slaver led her from the door,

　　He led her by the hand,

　　To be his slave and paramour

　　In a strange and distant land!

　　奴隶贩子拉着她的手,

　　把她拉出了门口,

　　带她去隔山隔海的异乡,

　　当他的奴隶和姘头!
