弗罗斯特经典诗歌双语赏析:山 The mountain held the town as in a shadow+ X" s) e$ E B$ ]$ A
I saw so much before I slept there once:

4 u, L: E; D+ z: A1 O4 b" } Near me it seemed: I felt it like a wall
8 M3 t0 h, g G" ?0 n Behind which I was sheltered from a wind.
- Q* H% |; B# q# V And yet between the town and it I found,
4 L8 r7 \- X4 L$ Z+ J When I walked forth at dawn to see new things,

But the signs showed what it had done in spring;

Ridges of sand, and driftwood stripped of bark.

2 M- Y/ Z$ M' c4 d8 a6 m 山
2 r" B, i9 H; B 山如同暗中支撑着城镇一样。7 @9 I |# y7 _9 d+ ^ D6 T
有一次我在那里睡觉前看了那么久的山脉:

' s# ]3 W& K6 `+ X9 I 我发现山与城镇之间, T/ k; [0 b# f0 r
有田野,一条河,以及远处,更多的田野。
: e6 ]5 E: ?* h, v. v 河流那时已快干涸,

我穿过了河流转向了那山。
