When I Heard The Learn'd Astronomer by Walt Whitman


Recommended Posts

When I heard the learn'd astronomer;

When the proofs, the figures, were ranged in columns before me;

When I was shown the charts and the diagrams, to add, divide, and measure them;

When I, sitting, heard the astronomer, where he lectured with much applause in the lecture-room,

How soon, unaccountable, I became tired and sick;

Till rising and gliding out, I wander'd off by myself,

In the mystical moist night-air, and from time to time,

Look'd up in perfect silence at the stars.

當我去聽著名的天文學家

當證明 數據 被排列在眼前

當他陳列那些統計和圖表 去加加減減 測量它們

當我 坐著 聽天文學家 在演講廳獲得眾人的鼓掌

些許時間之後 我疲倦了 厭倦了

而離席 獨自一人晃出去

到神祕的 潮濕的夜裡 偶爾

抬起頭看著靜謐的夜空

(我翻譯的)
