William Wordsworth - Indignation of a High-Minded Spaniard 汉译

We can endure that He should waste our lands,

Despoil our temples,--and by sword and flame

Return us to the dust from which we came;

Such food a Tyrant’s appetite demands:

And we can brook the thought that by his hands

Spain may be overpowered, and he possess,

For his delight, a solemn wilderness

Where all the Brave lie dead. But when of bands,

Which he will break for us, he dares to speak,--

Of benefits, and of a future day

When our enlightened minds shall bless his sway,

Then, the strained heart of fortitude proves weak:

Our groans, our blushes, our pale cheeks declare

That he has power to inflict what we lack strength to bear.

西班牙人的愤怒

我们可以容忍他蹂躏田园，

劫掠神庙，火光里挥舞刀枪，

叫我们骸骨成灰，魂归泉壤，——

暴君的胃口本来就这样贪婪；

我们也可以容忍他一厢情愿，

想叫西班牙臣服于他的统治，

想随心所欲杀尽不屈的勇士，

只留下一片阴森晦暗的荒原。

然而，倘若他竟敢厚颜夸口，

说他一心替我们把枷锁砸碎，

说我们来日会对他讴歌赞美，

那么，强制的耐性便到了尽头；

我们的呻吟，羞愤，面容的惨白，

都表明：他有权逞凶，我们却无权忍耐！
