Meeting at Night
By Robert Browning
作者：[英] 罗伯特·勃朗宁
The gray sea and the long black land;
灰莽的海，黑长的岸；
And the yellow half-moon large and low;
金色的半月大而低；
And the startled little waves that leap
微波从沉睡中惊起，
In fiery ringlets from their sleep,
火一般地翻腾起阵阵涟漪，
As I gain the cove with pushing prow,
当我驾船迅速驶向海湾，
And quench its speed i' the slushy sand.
船却戛然扎进泥潭。
Then a mile of warm sea-scented beach;
而后是一英里海香暖人的沙滩；
Three fields to cross till a farm appears;
穿过三块田地才见一个农场；
A tap at the pane, the quick sharp scratch
轻轻叩响窗棂，一个尖锐的打火声，
And blue spurt of a lighted match,
火柴迅速燃起，蓝光明净而耀眼，
And a voice less loud, thro' its joys and fears,
似惊似喜，口中搅动着
声响不高的话语。
Than the two hearts beating each to each!
两颗跳动的心紧紧相融。
