我游历了很多金色的国度，

Much have I traveled in the realms of gold

看过不少好的城邦和王国，

    And many goodly states and kingdoms seen;

还有多少西方的海岛，歌者

    Round many western islands have I been

都已使它们向阿波罗臣服。

Which bards in fealty to Apollo hold.

我常听到有一境域，广阔无垠，

Oft of one wide expanse had I been told

智慧的荷马在那里称王，

    That deep-browed Homer ruled as his demesne;

我从未领略它的纯净、安详，

    Yet never did I breathe its pure serene

直到我听见贾浦曼的声音

Till I heard Chapman speak out loud and bold:

无畏而高昂。于是，我的情感

Then felt I like some watcher of the skies

有如观象家发现了新的星座，

    When a new planet swims into his ken;

或者像科尔特斯，以鹰隼的眼

Or like stout Cortez when with eagle eyes

凝视着太平洋，而他的同伙

    He stared at the Pacific—and all his men

在惊讶的揣测中彼此观看，

Looked at each other with a wild surmise—

尽站在达利安高峰上，沉默。

    Silent, upon a peak in Darien.
