美国语文第五册 第87期:四月的日子(2)

 　　That lilac's cleaving¹ cones² have burst, 紫丁香，风中绽放挺立，

　　The milk-white flowers revealing; 奶白色花朵，惊悚震撼，

　　Even now upon my senses first 一瞥中感动，最是难抑，

　　Methinks their sweets are stealing. 你的心中，流泻悠悠甜蜜。

　　The very earth, the steamy air, is all with fragrance³ rife⁴! 脚下大地，润泽丰盈，繁复优雅，竟是不期而遇，

　　And grace and beauty everywhere are flushing into life. 蛰伏精灵，一路暗香浮动，走过多少，金色生命年华。

　　Down, down they come, those fruitful stores, 收割装仓，满囤的金子，

　　Those earth-rejoicing drops! 欢快雨滴，大地交响奏鸣，

　　A momentary⁵ deluge⁶ pours, 刹那间，洪水翻滚泛滥，

　　Then thins, decreases, stops. 雨过天晴，禾苗萌发新绿。

　　And ere the dimples on the stream have circled out of sight, 溪水淙淙，岁月流年的涟漪，穿梭奔涌，消失于远方天际，

　　Lo! from the west a parting gleam breaks forth⁷ of amber⁸ light. 瞧！西边那缕离别的星光，隐约露出，金色琥珀的传奇。

　　But yet behold—abrupt and loud, 看呀！随着一声高喊，

　　Comes down the glittering rain; 流星雨，划破天空消失，

　　The farewell of a passing cloud, 挥手作别，霓虹的云彩，

　　The fringes of its train. 裙裾飞扬，生命的斑斓花边。
