Ozymandias

奧茲曼迪亞斯

Percy Bysshe Shelly

雪萊

I met a traveler from an antique land,

我遇見一位來自古國的旅人

Who said----"Two vast and trunkless legs of stone

他說：有兩條巨大的石腿

Stand in the them, on the sand,

半掩於沙漠之間

Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,

近旁的沙土中，有一張破碎的石臉

And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,

抿着嘴，蹙着眉，面孔依舊威嚴

Tell that its sculptor well those passions read

想那雕刻者，必定深諳其人情感

Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,

那神態還留在石頭上

The hand that mocked them, and the heart, that fed;

而私人已逝，化作塵煙

And on the pedestal, these words appear:

看那石座上刻着字句：

"My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings,

“我是萬王之王,奧茲曼斯迪亞斯

Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"

功業蓋物,強者折服”

Nothing besides remains. Round the decay

此外，蕩然無物

Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare

廢墟四周，唯餘黃沙莽莽

The lone and level sands stretch faraway.”

寂寞荒涼，伸展四方。
