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? |
