混血姑娘英语诗歌
1
The Slaver in the broad lagoon
Lay moored with idle sail;
He waited for the rising moon
And for the evening gale.
奴隶贩子把帆船停在
宽阔的咸水湖中;
等待黄昏的海风.
2
Under the shore his boat was tied,
And all her listless crew
Watched the gray alligator slide，
Into the still bayou.
他的船拴在岸边,那一群
无精打采的水手
注视着一条灰白的鳄鱼
游入静静的湖口.
3
Odours of orange-flowers and spice
Reached them from time to time,
Like the airs that breathing from
Paradise
Upon a world of crime.
橙花和豆蔻的阵阵香气
飘送到他们身边,
有如天国的仙风袅袅
吹到罪恶的'人间.
4
The Planter, under his roof of thatch,
Smoked thoughtfully and slow;
The Slaver’s thumb was on the latch,
He seemed in haste to go.
棕叶盖顶的屋里,农场主
想着心事,抽着烟;
奴隶贩子,象急着要走,
大拇指按着门闩.
He said, “My ship at anchor rides
In yonder broad lagoon;
I only wait the evening tides
And the rising of the moon.”
他说:"我的帆船就停在
宽阔的咸水湖上;
我只等着晚上的潮水,
等着上升的月亮."
