【Don Juan • Excerpt】

George Gordon Byron (1788—1824)

         I want a hero: an uncommon want,

         When every year and month sends forth a new one,

         Till, after cloying the gazettes with cant,

         The age discovers he is not the true one;

         Of such as these I should not care to vaunt,

       I’ll therefore take our ancient friend Don Juan—

         We all have seen him, in the pantomime,

         Sent to the devil somewhat ere his time.

【《唐璜》节选】

农夫•心爱•拜伦(1792生—1822卒)

            我缺少一位英雄，真是给不寻常得缺陷，

            当每年每月都有一个新的英雄产生，

            直到报章上满纸登载了一阵废话以后，

            这时代却发现他不是真正的英雄：

            像这些个我实在无意来歌颂，

            因此我就把我们的老朋友唐璜拿来——

            我们大家在哑剧里都看到过他，

            他似乎没有活到他的寿限就一命呜呼。
