Yes, It Was the Mountain Echo
Yes, It Was the Mountain Echo
by William Wordsworth
Yes, It Wwas the Mountain EchoYes, it was the mountain Echo,
Solitary, clear, profound,
Answering to the shouting Cuckoo,
Giving to her sound for sound!
Unsolicited reply
To a babbling wanderer sent;
Like her ordinary cry,
Like--but oh, how different!
Hears not also mortal Life?
Hear not we, unthinking Creatures!
Slaves of folly, love, or strife--
Voices of two different natures?
Have not 'we' too?--yes, we have
Answers, and we know not whence;
Echoes from beyond the grave,
Recognised intelligence!
Such rebounds our inward ear
Catches sometimes from afar--
Listen, ponder, hold them dear;
For of God,--of God they are.
山的回音
威廉·华兹华斯
Yes, It Wwas the Mountain Echo对了，这是山的回音，
孤独、清晰、深沉；
回答杜鹃的歌吟，
声对声，韵对韵。
是不索自来的答复，
掷给喋喋的漂泊者，
仿佛她寻常的啼呼，
同耶？异耶？——同中有大别！
是否世间凡耳已细听分明？
浑浑噩噩的我们依然混沌。
溺于愚行、欲海以及纷争，
两种声音我们相杂不分？
我们没得到回答？——不，
得到了，但不知来自何地；
啊是回声，来自远处的墓，
已得到确认的智慧信息！
从很遥远的地方，有时历历
回音落入我们心灵的耳朵，
谛听吧、沉思吧，永远珍惜；
那是天籁，天籁云间为我落。
