美国语文第六册 第223期:鹰之歌(2)

（单词翻译）

Beneath the shade of thy golden wings, the Roman legions bore, from the river of Egypt's cloudy springs, their pride, to the polar shore.

在闪着金色的翅膀阴影下方，古罗马军团从埃及乌云密布的山泉，开凿出河道，他们的骄傲，一只延伸到极地的海岸。

For thee they fought, for thee they fell, and their oath on thee was laid; To thee the clarions raised their swell¹, and the dying warrior² prayed.

他们为你而战，他们为你而倒下，他们在履行对你的誓言；为了你，号角铮铮，将死的勇士在祈祷。

Thou wert, through an age of death and fears, the image of pride and power. Till the gathered rage of a thousand years, burst forth³ in one awful hour.

你已经通过了一岁的死亡考验，害怕被比喻为傲慢和自大。直到将千年积郁的愤怒，在可怕的瞬间来爆发。

And then, a deluge⁴ of wrath⁵, it came, and the nations shook with dread⁶; And it swept the earth, till its fields were flame, and piled with the mingled⁷ dead.

接着，降下了愤怒的大雨，各个国家令人恐惧地地动山摇；它扫荡地球，直到原野一片火光，到处是混杂男女老少的尸体。

Kings were rolled in the wasteful⁸ flood, with the low and crouching⁹ slave; And together lay, in a shroud¹⁰ of blood, the coward and the brave.

国王们被冲进汪洋，身下是蹲伏着托起他的奴隶；懦夫和勇敢的人，在血泊中一起倒下。
