第八十五課 薩姆遜之死

Occasions drew me early to this city, and, as the gates I entered with sunrise,

趕巧我早早來(lái)到這座城市，踏進(jìn)城門使正值旭日東升，

The morning trumpets festival proclaimed through each high street,

清晨的喇叭聲宣告節(jié)日降臨每條大街都已傳遍，

little I had dispatched, when all abroad was rumored that this day Samson should be brought forth,

我沒(méi)做什么事情。薩姆遜站到前面來(lái)，介紹給大家，

to show the people proof of his mighty strength in feats and games.

從他的武藝就看得出力大無(wú)窮。

I sorrowed at his captive state, but minded not to be absent at that spectacle.

我為他淪為階下囚而悲傷，可是真不想錯(cuò)過(guò)這盛況。

The building was a spacious theater half-round, on two main pillars vaulted high,

這建筑是寬敞的劇院，兩根大柱子撐住了上面半圓形穹頂，

with seats where all the lords, and each degree of sort, might sit in order to behold;

是為所有大人，各級(jí)官員設(shè)的專座，坐著就可以一覽無(wú)余;

The other side was open, where the throng on banks and scaffolds under sky might stand: I among these aloof obscurely stood.

另一側(cè)沒(méi)有什么遮擋視線，人們露天站在斜坡和斷頭臺(tái)上：在人群中我獨(dú)自站著，沒(méi)人注目。

The feast and noon grew high, and sacrifice had filled their hearts with mirth, high cheer, and wine, when to their sports they turned,

盛宴到中午達(dá)到高潮，祭品是他們心滿意足，歡樂(lè)，美酒，興致高，當(dāng)目光轉(zhuǎn)向娛樂(lè)嬉戲時(shí)，
