The Raven

Edgar Allan Poe

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and

weakry.

Over many a quint and curious volume of forgotten lore.

While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a

tapping,

As

of

some

one

rapping,

rapping

at

my

chamber

door.

some visitor,

——

Only this, and nothing more.

从前一个阴郁的子夜，我独自沉思，慵懒疲竭，

沉思许多古怪而离奇、早已被人遗忘的传闻——

当我开始打盹，几乎入睡，突然传来一阵轻擂，

仿佛有人在轻轻叩击，轻轻叩击我的房门。

“有人来了，”我轻声嘟喃，“正在叩击我的房门——

唯此而已，别无他般。”

Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December,

And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the

floor.

Eagerly I wished the morrow;

——

vainly I had tried to

borrow.

From my books surcease of sorrow

——

sorrow for the lost

Lenore

——

For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name

Lenore-

——

Nameless here for evermore

哦，我清楚地记得那是在萧瑟的十二月

;

每一团奄奄一息的余烬都形成阴影伏在地板。

我当时真盼望翌日

;

——因为我已经枉费心机

想用书来消除悲哀——消除因失去丽诺尔的悲叹——

因那被天使叫作丽诺尔的少女，她美丽娇艳——

在这儿却默默无闻，直至永远。

And the silken sad uncertain rustling of each purple

curtain

Thrilled me

——

filled me with fantastic terrors never

felt before;

So that now, to still the beating of my heart, I stood

repeating

some

visitor

entreating

entrance

at

my

chamber

door-

——

Some

late

visitor

entreating

entrance

at

my

chamber

door;-

——

This it is and nothing more.

那柔软、暗淡、飒飒飘动的每一块紫色窗布

使我心中充满前所未有的恐怖——我毛骨惊然

;

为平息我心儿停跳

.

我站起身反复叨念

“这是有人想进屋，在叩我的房门——。

更深夜半有人想进屋，在叩我的房门

;

——

唯此而已，别无他般。

”

Presently my soul grew stronger; hesitating then no

longer,

implore;

But the fact is I was napping, and so gently you came

rapping,

And so faintly you came tapping, tapping at my chamber

door,

That

I

scarce

was

sure

I

heard

you

——

here

I

opened

wide

the door;

——

Darkness there, and nothing more.

很快我的心变得坚强

;

不再犹疑，不再彷徨，

“先生，”我说，“或夫人，我求你多多包涵

;

刚才我正睡意昏昏，而你来敲门又那么轻，

你来敲门又那么轻，轻轻叩击我的房门，

我差点以为没听见你”——说着我拉开门扇

;

——

唯有黑夜，别无他般。

Deep into that: darkness peering, long I stood there

wondering, fearing

Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream

before;

But the silence was unbroken, and the darkness gave no

token,

And the only word there spoken was the whispered word,

This I whispered, and an echo murmured back the word,

Lenore!

Merely this, and nothing more.

凝视着夜色幽幽，我站在门边惊惧良久，

疑惑中似乎梦见从前没人敢梦见的梦幻

;

可那未被打破的寂静，没显示任何迹象。

“丽诺尔

?

”便是我嗫嚅念叨的唯一字眼，

我念叨“丽诺尔

!

”，回声把这名字轻轻送还 ，

唯此而已，别无他般。

Then into the chamber turning, all my soul within me

burning,

Soon

I

heard

again

a

tapping

somewhat

louder

than

before.

lattice;

Let me see, then, what thereat is, and this mystery

explore-

——

Let my heart be still a moment and this mystery explore;

——

Tis the wind, and nothing more!

我转身回到房中，我的整个心烧灼般疼痛，

很快我又听到叩击声，比刚才听起来明显。

“肯定，”我说，“肯定有什么在我的窗棂

;

让我瞧瞧是什么在那里，去把那秘密发现——

让我的心先镇静一会儿，去把那秘密发现

——

那不过是风，别无他般

!

Open

I

flung

the

shutter,

when,

with

many

a

flirt

and

flutter.

In there stepped a stately raven of the saintly days of

yore;

Not the least obeisance made he; not an instant stopped

or stayed he;

But, with mien of lord or lady, perched above my chamber

door-

——

Perched

upon

a

bust

of

Pallas

just

above

my

chamber

door-

——

Perched, and sat, and nothing more.

我猛然推开窗户，。心儿扑扑直跳就像打鼓，

一只神圣往昔的健壮乌鸦慢慢走进我房间

;

它既没向我致意问候

;

也没有片刻的停留

;

而以绅士淑女的风度，栖在我房门的上面——

栖在我房门上方一尊帕拉斯半身雕像上面——

栖坐在那儿，仅如此这般。

Quoth the raven,

于是这只黑鸟把我悲伤的幻觉哄骗成微笑，

以它那老成持重一本正经温文尔雅的容颜，

“虽然冠毛被剪除，”我说，“但你肯定不是懦夫，

你这幽灵般可怕的古鸦，漂泊夜的彼岸——

请告诉我你尊姓大名，在黑沉沉的冥府阴间

!

”

乌鸦答日“永不复述。”

Much I marveled this ungainly fowl to hear discourse so

plainly,

Though its answer little meaning-little relevancy hore;

For we cannot help agreeing that no sublunary being

Ever yet was blessed with seeing bird above his chamber

door-

听见如此直率的回答，我惊叹这丑陋的乌鸦，

虽说它的回答不着边际——与提问几乎无关

;

因为我们不得不承认，从来没有活着的世人

曾如此有幸地看见一只鸟栖在他房门的面——

鸟或兽栖在他房间门上方的半身雕像上面，

有这种名字“水不复还。”

But the raven, sitting lonely on the placid bust, spoke
