Kubla Khan by Samuel Taylor Coleridge - Benedict Cumberbatch
忽必烈汗 柯尔律治（著）
In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
忽必烈汗建立了上都
A stately pleasure-dome decree :
一个庄严华丽的宫殿：
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
圣河阿尔弗在那里流淌
Through caverns measureless to man
穿过深不可测的岩洞
Down to a sunless sea.
流入不见日光的海中。
So twice five miles of fertile ground
那里有十哩方圆的沃土
With walls and towers were girdled round :
那里有高墙高塔的围绕：
And there were gardens bright with sinuous rills,
那里还有明媚的花园曲折的小溪，
Where blossomed many an incense-bearing tree ;
那里的草木芳华四溢；
And here were forests ancient as the hills,
那里的森林如山丘一般古老，
Enfolding sunny spots of greenery.
草地洒落着斑点的阳光。
But oh ! that deep romantic chasm which slanted
哦！那倾斜的浪漫的深深峡谷
Down the green hill athwart a cedarn cover !
翻过绿色的山丘却是一个杉树的峡谷！
A savage place ! as holy and enchanted
一个荒蛮的地方！这般神圣似被施了魔法
As e'er beneath a waning moon was haunted
会有女子在下弦月下出没
By woman wailing for her demon-lover !
为她那恶魔情人哀哭！
And from this chasm, with ceaseless turmoil seething,
在这鸿沟里沸腾着无尽的骚动，
As if this earth in fast thick pants were breathing,
仿佛大地在急促的喘息着，
A mighty fountain momently was forced :
一股强大的喷泉爆发出来：
Amid whose swift half-intermitted burst
它时而间歇地爆发
Huge fragments vaulted like rebounding hail,
巨石弹起犹如冰雹，
Or chaffy grain beneath the thresher's flail :
像是谷粒在连枷之下蹦跳：
And 'mid these dancing rocks at once and ever
这些石块一次又一次地狂舞
It flung up momently the sacred river.
它迸发进圣河。
Five miles meandering with a mazy motion
蜿蜒成为五哩的迷宫
Through wood and dale the sacred river ran,
圣河穿过森林和谷地，
Then reached the caverns measureless to man,
于是到达了不可测的洞窟，
And sank in tumult to a lifeless ocean :
在喧嚣中沉入了没有生命的海洋：
And 'mid this tumult Kubla heard from far
在喧哗中忽必烈汗远远的听着
Ancestral voices prophesying war !
祖先在预言着战争！
The shadow of the dome of pleasure
在欢乐穹顶下的阴影
Floated midway on the waves ;
漂浮在波涛之间；
Where was heard the mingled measure
哪里被听到了杂乱的动响
From the fountain and the caves.
来自喷泉和洞穴。
It was a miracle of rare device,
这是一个罕见的奇迹，
A sunny pleasure-dome with caves of ice !
一个阳光灿烂的穹顶和冰的洞穴！
A damsel with a dulcimer
一个扬琴的少女
In a vision once I saw :
我曾在一个景象中看到过：
It was an Abyssinian maid,
这是个阿比西尼亚姑娘，
And on her dulcimer she played,
她弹拨着那洋琴，
Singing of Mount Abora.
为阿波拉山而歌唱。
Could I revive within me
我能在心底复活吗
Her symphony and song,
她的交响曲和歌曲，
To such a deep delight 'twould win me,
直至我获得深深的愉快，
That with music loud and long,
那乐声悠长洪亮
I would build that dome in air,
我愿在空中筑起这宫殿
That sunny dome ! those caves of ice !
那阳光的穹顶！那冰雪的洞窟！
And all who heard should see them there,
凡有所耳闻者皆应目睹，
And all should cry, Beware ! Beware !
众人惊呼：当心！当心！
His flashing eyes, his floating hair !
他那闪烁的眼睛！他那飘扬的长发！
Weave a circle round him thrice,
围着他绕上三圈，
And close your eyes with holy dread,
带着神圣的恐惧闭上你的眼睛，
For he on honey-dew hath fed,
因为他吃着蜜样的甘露，
And drunk the milk of Paradise.
饮着乐园的乳泉。
