LESSON 50 On the downfall of Poland

第五十課 哀波蘭

Oh, sacred Truth! thy triumph ceased a while,

哦，神圣的真理!你的勝利暫停了一切，

And Hope, thy sister, ceased with thee to smile,

你的姊妹，希望，也同你一道停止了微笑。

When leagued Oppression poured to Northern wars

當(dāng)聯(lián)合壓迫注入到北方戰(zhàn)爭時，

Her whiskered pandoors and her fierce hussars;

她那留著胡須的殘忍的士兵和她激烈的輕騎兵;

Waved her dread standard to the breeze of morn

揮舞著她的恐懼在這早晨的微風(fēng)中，

Pealed her loud drum, and twanged her trumpet born:

凝視她的大聲響的鼓，撥動她那剛出世的小號：

Tumultuous Horror brooded o'er her van;

動蕩的恐懼目不轉(zhuǎn)睛地飄過她的貨車;

Presaging wrath to Poland—and to man!

預(yù)示對波蘭——和波蘭人的憤怒!

Warsaw's last champion from her height surveyed

這是華沙最后勝利從她的高度調(diào)查看來，

Wide o'er the fields a waste of ruin laid:

越過田野就是一片廢墟的垃圾堆：

"O Heaven!" he cried, "my bleeding country save!

“天??！”他哭喊道：“我要保住我那正在流血的國家！

Is there no hand on high to shield the brave?

有沒有一雙手來保護(hù)這些勇士呀？

Yet, though Destruction sweep those lovely plains,

然而，盡管這場大破壞橫掃那些可愛的平原，

Rise, fellow-men! our country yet remains!

崛起吧，同胞們！我國還沒有崛起呢！

By that dread name we wave the sword on high!

在那可怕的名字面前，我們高高地?fù)]舞著我們的劍！

And swear for her to live!—with her to die!"

并向她發(fā)誓！——與她同生共死！”

He said; and on the rampart-heights arrayed

他說，在這高高排列的城墻上；

His trusty warriors,—few, but undismayed;

他信賴的那些勇士們——雖然很少，但卻鎮(zhèn)定自若；

Firm-paced, and slow, a horrid front they form,

邁著緩慢而又堅定地步伐，他們在前面正形成一個令人恐懼的隊伍，

Still as the breeze, but dreadful as the storm;

微風(fēng)依然柔和，但風(fēng)暴卻十分可怕；

Low, murmuring sounds along their banners fly,

低沉地在那飄揚的國旗自言自語，

"Revenge or death!"—the watchword and reply;

“復(fù)仇或死亡！”這口號在一直回復(fù)著；

Then pealed the notes, omnipotent to charm,

隨后奏出的音符，蘊含著無所不能的魅力，

And the loud tocsin tolled their last alarm!

那響亮的警鐘敲響了最后的報警聲。
