William Wordsworth - Composed Upon Westminster Bridge 汉译

Earth has not anything to show more fair:

Dull would he be of soul who could pass by

A sight so touching in its majesty:

This City now doth, like a garment, wear

The beauty of the morning; silent, bare,

Ships, towers, domes, theatres, and temples lie

Open unto the fields, and to the sky;

All bright and glittering in the smokeless air.

Never did sun more beautifully steep

In his first splendour, valley, rock, or hill;

Ne'er saw I, never felt, a calm so deep!

The river glideth at his own sweet will:

Dear God! the very houses seem asleep;

And all that mighty heart is lying still!

威斯敏斯特桥上

大地再没有比这儿更美的风貌：

若有谁，对如此壮丽动人的景物

竟无动于衷，那才是灵魂麻木；

瞧这座城市，像披上一领新袍，

披上了明艳晨光；环顾周遭：

船舶，尖塔，剧院，教堂，华屋，

都寂然坦然，向郊野、向天穹赤露，

在烟尘未染的大气里粲然闪耀。

旭日金辉洒布于峡谷山陵，

也不比这片晨光更为奇丽；

我何尝见过、感受过这深沉宁静！

河水徐流，由着自己的心意；

上帝啊！千门万户都沉睡未醒，
