For the vale profound Is overflowing with the sound. 看她，在田里独自一个， 那个苏格兰高原的少女！ 独自在收割，独自在唱歌； 停住吧，或者悄悄走过去！ 她独自割麦，又把它捆好， 唱着一只忧郁的曲调； 听啊！整个深邃的谷地 都有这一片歌声在洋溢,Stanza 2: The poet is surprised to hear such a beautiful song in so remote a place.,1No Nightingale did ever chaunt 2More welcome notes to weary bands 3Of travellers in some shady haunt, 4Among Arabian sands,=chant歌唱,,可爱的 音符,group,,oasis绿洲 where travellers take a rest under the trees.,deserts in most of the Arabian Peninsula 半岛,nightingale,,,夜莺a bird good at singing,,,5A voice so thrilling ne'er was heard 6In spring-time from the Cuckoo-bird, 7Breaking the silence of the seas 8Among the farthest Hebrides,动人的,=never,,herald 信使of spring, coming in April and leaving in August,cuckoo 杜鹃鸟,,Ireland,England,Scotland,Hebrides,,,In Spring people on the Hebrides are excited to hear the cuckoo’s song after a long winter’s silence.,No Nightingale did ever chaunt More welcome notes to weary bands Of travellers in some shady haunt, Among Arabian sands. A voice so thrilling ne'er was heard In spring-time from the Cuckoo-bird, Breaking the silence of the seas Among the farthest Hebrides. 从没有夜莺能够唱出 更美的音调来欢迎结队商， 疲倦了，到一个荫凉的去处 就在阿拉伯沙漠的中央； 杜鹃鸟在春天叫得多动人， 也没有这样子荡人心魂， 尽管它惊破了远海的静悄， 响彻了赫伯里底斯群岛。

Or is it some more humble lay, Familiar matter of to-day? Some natural sorrow, loss, or pain, That has been, and may be again? 她唱的是什么，可有谁说得清？ 哀怨的曲调里也许在流传 古老，不幸，悠久的事情， 还有长远以前的征战； 或者她唱的并不特殊， 只是今日的家常事故？ 那些天然的丧忧、哀痛， 有过的，以后还会有的种种？,Stanza 4: The poet was so moved by her song that he could never forget it.,1Whate'er the theme, the Maiden sang 2As if her song could have no ending; 3I saw her singing at her work, 4And o'er the sickle bending;—,girl,,镰刀,=whatever,cf.余音绕梁，三日不绝,The poet was carried away by her song and almost forgot his journey.,5I listen'd, motionless and still; ,=over,,,listening attentively,6And, as I mounted up the hill, 7The music in my heart I bore, 8Long after it was heard no more.,登上,I bore the music in my heart. 我把那支乐 曲牢记心头。
The girl sang over her work.,The solitary reaper’s song left an unforgetable impression on the poet’s mind.,,Whate'er the theme, the Maiden sang As if her song could have no ending; I saw her singing at her work, And o'er the sickle bending;— I listened, motionless and still; And, as I mounted up the hill, The music in my heart I bore, Long after it was heard no more. 不管她唱的是什么题目， 她的歌好像会没完没了， 我看见她边唱边干活， 弯着腰，挥动她的镰刀—— 我一动也不动，听了许久； 后来，当我上山的时候， 我把歌声还记在心上， 虽然早已听不见声响,Genre:,Structure:,Rhyme Scheme:,Meters:,Theme:,,lyric poem 抒情诗,four 8-line stanzas共四节 每节八句,ababccdd (except lines 1 & 3 in stanzas 1 and 4),iambic tetrameter四音步抑扬格,The poet is fascinated with a Scottish peasant girl’s beautiful song.,,,语音，格律 该诗分四节，每节八行，共三十二行，每行大体上包括四个抑扬格的音步，尾韵一般为a b a b c c d d。
