英诗汉译： 节选 Don Juan--CANTO THE TW ELTH. 唐璜 (节选) 喬治.戈登.拜倫

称为青年嫌太老，

    三十五岁的大叔。

    与童叟混又不好，

    好奇人们的活路。

    如此之多的烦恼，

    这新纪元之产物。

    若即若离的爱情，

    嫁娶嫌迟恐难成。

    另辟追求的途径，

    幻像又恐没踪影。

    纯洁憧憬是金钱，

    初创时期光明现。

      Too old for youth,—too young, at thirty-five,

       To herd with boys, or hoard with good threescore,—

     I wonder people should be left alive;

       But since they are, that epoch is a bore:

     Love lingers still, although 't were late to wive;

       And as for other love, the illusion 's o'er;

     And money, that most pure imagination,

     Gleams only through the dawn of its creation.
