音樂Music
-雪萊
（一）
I pant for the music which is divine,
我渴望那神聖的樂音，
My heart in its thirst is a dying flower;
焦渴的心似花兒凋零；
Pour forth the sound like enchanted wine,
像魔酒般傾訴的音品，
Loosen the notes in a silver shower;
音符似銀色的瀑布噴淋；
Like a herbless plain, for the gentle rain,
似光禿禿的平原，亟盼甘霖，
I gasp, I faint, till they wake again.
我喘息、昏暈，直到再度喚醒。
（二）
Let me drink of the spirit of that sweet sound,
讓我醉心於靈魂悅耳的歡歌，
More, oh more,—I am thirsting yet;
多些，哦，再多些，—我如飢似渴；
It loosens the serpent which care has bound
陰鬱的毒蛇窒息了我的心窩—
Upon my heart to stifle it;
音樂使其放縱解脫；
The dissolving strain, through every vein,
迷人的旋律，通過條條脈絡，
Passes into my heart and brain.
流入我的心坎和腦殼。
(三)
As the scent of a violet withered up,
宛如銀色湖邊的紫羅蘭，
Which grew by the brink of a silver lake,
凋謝在鬱郁幽香的湖畔，
When the hot noon has drained its dewy cup,
炎炎正午將朝露的花萼吸乾，
And mist there was none its thirst to slake—
霧靄不能解渴佐餐—
And the violet lay dead while the odour flew
紫羅蘭消殞，馨香飄散—
On the wings of the wind o'er the waters blue—
御風展翅在蔚藍的湖面—
（四）
As one who drinks from a charmed cup
正如有人從發泡、吱吱有聲—
Of foaming, and sparkling, and murmuring wine,
閃光的汽酒魔杯中豪飲，
Whom, a mighty Enchantress filling up,
一個強悍的妖婦斟滿香檳，
Invites to love with her kiss divine...
吸引着戀人神聖一吻……
