英文
There Is No Frigate Like a Book
Emily Dickinson
There is no frigate like a book
To take us lands away,
Nor any coursers like a page
Of prancing poetry.
This traverse may the poorest take
Without oppress of toll;
How frugal is the chariot
That bears a human soul!
参考译文
没有哪艘帆船像书一样
艾米莉·狄金森
没有一艘帆船能像书本那样,
带我们跨越万水千山,
也没有一匹骏马,
比得上一页欢腾的诗篇。
没有旅费的窘迫,
最穷者也可以跋涉万里;
承载灵魂的战车,
向来是如此素俭。
