LESSON 75 THANATOPSIS
第七十五课 对死亡的见解
To him who in the love of nature holds communion with her visible forms, she speaks a various language;
对他，这个热爱大自然而且同她的可见形体有交流的人，她用变化多端的语言倾诉；
for his gayer hours she has a voice of gladness, and a smile and eloquence of beauty;
在他快乐的几个钟头里她声音里流淌出愉快，浅笑盈盈，讲得那般优美动听；
and she glides into his darker musings, with a mild and healing sympathy, that steals away their sharpness, ere he is aware.
当他苦思冥想时，她飘然而至，在他意识到之前，以能够疗伤治痛的温婉同情，悄悄带走他们的伤痛。
When thoughts of the last bitter hour come like a blight over thy spirit, and sad images of the stern agony, and shroud, and pall,
当弥留之际的凄楚像一场枯萎病弥漫你的内心，在你眼前浮现的是悲惨的情景：极度痛苦、裹尸布、棺罩，
and breathless darkness, and the narrow house, make thee to shudder, and grow sick at heart;
死寂的黑暗，还有狭窄的墓室，这一切使你战栗，愈发心悸；
go forth, under the open sky, and list to nature's teachings, while from all around earth and her waters, and the depths of air, comes a still voice.
去吧，到空旷的天空下聆听大自然的教诲，而四面八方——大地和水中，以及大气的深处传来寂静的声音。
