第八十八課 手套和猛獅

King Francis was a hearty king, and loved a royal sport,

弗朗西斯國(guó)王是一位健壯的國(guó)王，喜愛(ài)王室?jiàn)蕵?lè)活動(dòng)，

and one day, as his lions fought, sat looking on the court;

一天，他養(yǎng)的猛獅搏斗時(shí)，他端坐目光投向院子;

The nobles filled the benches round, the ladies by their side,

達(dá)官貴人坐滿長(zhǎng)凳，貴婦們站在他們身旁，

and amongst them sat the Count de Lorge, with one for whom he sighed;

在他們中間坐著德洛日伯爵，他為一個(gè)人悲嘆;

And truly it was a gallant thing to see that crowning show,

看那無(wú)與倫比的演出，端的是壯觀，

Valor and love, and a king above, and the royal beasts below.

英勇和愛(ài)情，上面坐的是國(guó)王，下面就是王室的野獸。

Ramped and roared the lions, with horrid laughing jaws;

獅子登上斜坡，咆哮猙獰，張著血盆大口;

They bit, they glared, gave blows like beams, a wind went with their paws;

它們瞪眼，爪子出擊如閃電，還把那風(fēng)聲掛動(dòng);

With wallowing might and stifled roar, they rolled on one another;

肆意打滾，發(fā)出令人窒息的吼叫，滾到另一頭獅子身上;

Till all the pit, with sand and mane, was in a thunderous smother;

直到所有深坑，連著沙土和鬃毛，隨著一聲巨響填平;

The bloody foam above the bars came whizzing through the air;

柵欄上的血沫在空中旋動(dòng);

Said Francis, then, "Faith, gentlemen, we're better here than there."

然后，弗朗西斯說(shuō)，“忠誠(chéng)，紳士們，我們最好留在這里。”
