Adlestrop艾德尔索普
from 美好人生英式英语朗读
Edward Thomas Yes, I remember Adlestrop -- The name, because one afternoon of heat the express-train drew up there unwontedly. 是的，我记得艾德尔索普--它的名字，因为在一个天气很热的下午，特快列车反常地在那儿停下。 It was late June. 那时候是六月底。 The steam hissed. Someone cleared his throat. 蒸汽嘶嘶响。有人清了清喉咙。 No one left and no one came on the bare platform. 没人离开也没人来到空空的月台上。 What I saw was Adlestrop -- only the name and willows, willow-herb, and grass, and meadowsweet, and haycocks dry, 我所看见的就是艾德尔索普——只是它的名字和柳树、柳叶菜，还有青草，蚊子草，晒干的圆锥形草堆， No whit less still and lonely fair than the high cloudlets in the sky. 一样宁静，一样有寂寞的美，同那高高悬在天空的微云。 And for that minute a blackbird sang close by, and round him, mistier, 就在那一刻附近一只乌鸫叫起来，在它周围，隐隐， Farther and farther, all the birds Of Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire. 从远处、更远处，传来百鸟的啼鸣，从牛津郡和格洛斯特郡。 译注：艾德尔索普Adlestrop是英国格洛斯特郡一个毗邻牛津郡的村庄。 《Adlestrop》深得英国人民喜爱，生动地描写了乡村的愉悦。时为1914年6月末，托马斯乘火车，由牛津前往伍斯特，途中意外经停小村，名叫Adlestrop。诗人望向窗外，心生灵感，写下了此诗。
