How Thought You That This Thing Could Captivate
[英]阿尔弗莱德·丁尼生
Alfred Tennyson
你怎么认为这能打动你的心？
怎样的优雅让她如此可爱？
她无聊地嘲弄，
没有根由地怨恨。
嘤嘤低语，
在耳边回响，
能让你在牙医与理发师的聒噪之后，
一周内精神焕发。
纤手舞动挥摇，花样万千，
眼睛瞟着邻人的衣装；
玉足浮摆，牵引我的视线；
天使的容颜——侍女的心意，
美妙绝伦的脸，
没有一丝表情，犹如扑克上的女王。
How thought you that this thing could captivate？
What are those graces that could make her
Who is not worth the notice of a sneer
To rouse the vapid devil of her hate？
A speech conventional， so void of weight
That after it has buzzed about one's ear，
T were rich refreshment for a week to hear
The dentist babble or the barber prate.
A hand display with many a little art；
An eye that glances on her neighbour's dress；
A foot too often shown for my regard；
An angel's form-a waiting-woman's heart；
A perfected-featured face， expressionless，
Insipid， as the Queen upon a card.
