And the bugle wild and shrill. 　　号角激昂锐利地吹奏。　　　　And the music of that old song 　　那首老歌的悠扬曲调　　　　Throbs in my memory still: 　　依然跳动在我的心头：　　　　“A boy’s will is the wind’s will, 　　“少年的愿望就是风的愿望，　　　　And the thoughts of youth are long, long thoughts.” 　　青春的遐想是多么悠长悠长。” 　　【评注】在历史上波特兰曾几经战火洗礼，在1812-1815年的英美战争中，1813年在该市附近海域，美国的“企业”号与英国的“拳击师”号战舰发生激战，双方舰长均阵亡，后并排葬于曼乔伊山公墓；该市至今仍存有战场部分遗迹。后一节里的海战就指本次战役。第六至七行中“the music of that old song / Throbs in my memory still”采用了拟人修辞手法。　　I remember the sea-fight far away, 　　我记得那次远处的海战，　　How it thundered o’er the tide! 　　炮声在滚滚海浪上震荡；　　And the dead captains, as they lay 　　两位牺牲的舰长，在墓中安躺，　　In their graves, o’erlooking the tranquil bay, 　　俯看着宁静的海湾Where they in battle died. 　　那就是他们战死的沙场。 And the sound of that mournful song 　　那哀怨的歌声，　　Goes through me with a thrill: 　　震颤我的心房： “A boy’s will is the wind’s will, 　　“少年的愿望就是风的愿望，　　And the thoughts of youth are long, long thoughts.” 　　青春的遐想是多么悠长悠长。” 　　I can see the breezy dome of groves, 　　我看见微风里摇曳的树林，　　The shadows of Deering’s Woods; 　　熟悉的婆娑树影；　　And the friendships old and the early loves 　　旧日的友谊，早年的恋情Come back with a Sabbath sound, as of doves 　　以安适的声音回到我心灵，　　In quiet neighborhoods. 　　宛如幽静邻里的鸽鸣。　　And the verse of that sweet old song, 　　那老歌的甜美诗句　　It flutters and murmurs still: 　　依稀在颤动和低语不停：　　“A boy’s will is the wind’s will, 　　“少年的愿望就是风的愿望，　　And the thoughts of youth are long, long thoughts.” 　　青春的遐想是多么悠长悠长。” 　　【评注】“Deering’s Woods” 是波特兰市的一处森林公园名称，诗人青少年时代曾常去那里玩耍，因此笔者把它意译为“熟悉的”。“Sabbath”?本指“安息日或主日”，此处为借代或转喻（metonymy），意指“安祥、宁静”。“And the friendships old and the early loves /Come back…as of doves/ In …”中的 “as of doves”是“半明喻（semi-simile），”为“友爱、如影随形、难舍难分”之意。第六至七行中“the verse of that sweet old song, / It flutters and murmurs still ”采用了拟人修辞手法。　　I remember the gleams and glooms that dart 　　我记得丝丝的亮光和暗影Across the school-boy’s brain; 　　闪过我稚嫩的心灵；　　The song and the silence in the heart, 　　心底蕴藏的歌声和寂静，　　That in part are prophecies, and in part 　　有几分是预言，还有几分Are longings wild and vain. 　　是狂热而又虚幻的渴望。　　And the voice of that fitful song 　　听啊，那起伏不定的歌声　　Sings on, and is never still: 　　继续唱着，总不平静：　　 “A boy’s will is the wind’s will, 　　“少年的愿望就是风的愿望，　　And the thoughts of youth are long, long thoughts.” 　　青春的遐想是多么悠长悠长。” 　　【评注】第一行中的“gleams and glooms”该两词既押首韵又押尾韵，语义形成对照，意为“高兴和沮丧”。第三行中两个“part”和“prophecies”形成首字母韵（“p”）。第六至七行中“the voice of that fitful song,/Sings on,…”用了拟人修辞手法。　　There are things of which I may not speak; 　　有一些情景我不能倾诉；　　There are dreams that cannot die; 　　有一些梦想永不会泯灭；　　There are thoughts that make the strong heart weak, 　　有一些心思，使坚强心灵疲弱，　　And bring a pallor into the cheek, 　　使脸色苍白，And a mist before the eye. 　　使眼睛如临薄雾。　　And the words of that fatal song 　　那句不祥的歌词好像　　Come over me like a chill: 　　一个寒颤袭过全身：“A boy’s will is the wind’s will, 　　“少年的愿望就是风的愿望，　　And the thoughts of youth are long, long thoughts.” 　　青春的遐想是多么悠长悠长。” 　　【评注】第五行中的 “mist before the eye（眼前的薄雾）”是隐喻，暗指哭泣或伤心的泪水。第七行中的“like a chill”是明喻，把“the words of that fatal song(那句不祥的歌词)”比作“（chill）寒颤”。　Strange to me now are the forms I meet 　　当重返我亲爱的古城，When I visit the dear old town; 　　眼前的景象已这般陌生；　　But the native air is pure and sweet, 　　但故乡的空气甘美而纯净，　　And the trees that o’ershadow each well-known street, 　　熟识的街衢洒满了树影，As they balance up and down, 　　树木轻盈摇曳，　　Are singing the beautiful song, 　　正在唱着那美妙的歌声，　　Are sighing and whispering still:
