美国语文第六册 第223期:鹰之歌(2)（在线收听）

Beneath the shade of thy golden wings, the Roman legions bore, from the river of Egypt's cloudy springs, their pride, to the polar shore.

在闪着金色的翅膀阴影下方，古罗马军团从埃及乌云密布的山泉，开凿出河道，他们的骄傲，一只延伸到极地的海岸。

For thee they fought, for thee they fell, and their oath on thee was laid; To thee the clarions raised their swell, and the dying warrior prayed.

他们为你而战，他们为你而倒下，他们在履行对你的誓言；为了你，号角铮铮，将死的勇士在祈祷。

Thou wert, through an age of death and fears, the image of pride and power. Till the gathered rage of a thousand years, burst forth in one awful hour.

你已经通过了一岁的死亡考验，害怕被比喻为傲慢和自大。直到将千年积郁的愤怒，在可怕的瞬间来爆发。

And then, a deluge of wrath, it came, and the nations shook with dread; And it swept the earth, till its fields were flame, and piled with the mingled dead.

接着，降下了愤怒的大雨，各个国家令人恐惧地地动山摇；它扫荡地球，直到原野一片火光，到处是混杂男女老少的尸体。

Kings were rolled in the wasteful flood, with the low and crouching slave; And together lay, in a shroud of blood, the coward and the brave.

国王们被冲进汪洋，身下是蹲伏着托起他的奴隶；懦夫和勇敢的人，在血泊中一起倒下。
