Leda and the Swan
|
丽达与天鹅
|
| A sudden blow：the great wings beating still |
突然一击：在踉跄的少女身上 |
| Above the staggering girl, her thighs caressed |
那巨翅仍在乱扑，黑色的脚蹼抚摩着 |
| By the dark webs, her nape caught in his bill, |
她的腿，他的喙衔着她的脖颈， |
| He holds her helpless breast upon his breast. |
用胸膛压住她无助的身体。 |
| How can those terrified vague fingers push |
被惊呆的手指，哪还有力 |
| The feathered glory from her loosening thighs? |
从松开的腿间推开那白羽？ |
| And how can body, laid in that white rush, |
翻倒在灯芯草里的身体 |
| But feel the strange heart beating where it lies? |
怎样感觉着他的奇异的心跳？ |
| A shudder in the loins engenders there |
从腰股间的颤抖，竟生出 |
| The broken wall, the burning roof and tower |
断墙、残塔，漫天烈焰 |
| And Agamemnon dead. |
与阿伽门农之死。 |
| Being so caught up, |
当她被占有时， |
| So mastered by the brute blood of air, |
被云中的野蛮热血俘获时， |
| Did she put on his knowledge with his power |
她得了他的力量，是否也得了他的知识， |
| Before the indifferent beak could let her drop? |
在那漠然的喙放开她之前？ |
