War he sung, is toil and trouble ,Honor but an empty bubble. What about you, Snake? Is your honor just an empty bubble, too?
被歌颂的战争其实只有纷乱与辛僳,它所宣扬的荣誉其实只是空想,你呢SNAKE?你(所认为)的荣誉也只是空想吗?
加下划线的部分是美玲摘自约翰·德莱顿的一首颂诗的(怎么也找不到中译,于是就自己来了),
诗的名字是〃Alexander\'s Feast; or, The Power of Music:
An Ode in Honour of St. Cecilia\'s Day》。
约翰·德莱顿(John Dryden,1631-1700)*
十七世纪英国诗人、评论家、剧作家。
原诗中的相关段落*
"War," he sung, "is toil and trouble;
Honour, but an empty bubble.
Never ending, still beginning,
Fighting still, and still destroying:
If the world be worth thy winning,
Think, O think it worth enjoying.
Lovely Thais sits beside thee,
Take the good the gods provide thee."
