Audiobook Dictation: “A softly-breathing air, that no mutation…”

A softly-breathing air, that no mutation Had in itself, upon the forehead smote me No heavier blow than of a gentle wind,

一阵轻柔吐息般的和风，本身毫无变化，拂在我额上，力道不过如一缕微风，

Yet not from their upright direction swayed, So that the little birds upon their tops Should leave the practice of each art of theirs;

然而枝叶并未因此偏离挺立之势，以致树梢上的小鸟要放下各自的技艺；

But with full ravishment the hours of prime, Singing, received they in the midst of leaves, That ever bore a burden to their rhymes,

而是满怀欣喜地，在叶丛之间歌唱着迎接清晨的时光，那些树叶总为它们的歌韵伴奏，

Already my slow steps had carried me Into the ancient wood so far, that I Could not perceive where I had entered it.

我缓慢的脚步已带我深入古老的森林，远得我已看不出自己是从何处进来的。

With feet I stayed, and with mine eyes I passed Beyond the rivulet, to look upon The great variety of the fresh may.

我停下双脚，却用目光越过小溪，去观赏那五月鲜花的万千姿态。

And there appeared to me (even as appears Suddenly something that doth turn aside Through very wonder every other thought)

就在那里，有个身影出现在我眼前（正如突然出现某种事物，因太过惊奇而使人抛开一切别的念头）

May the desire come unto thee to draw Near to this river's bank," I said to her, "So much that I might hear what thou art singing.

愿你生出心意，走近这条河的岸边，”我对她说，“近到让我能听见你在唱些什么。

Thou makest me remember where and what Proserpina that moment was when lost Her mother her, and she herself the Spring."

你让我想起普洛塞庇娜在那一刻身在何处、是何模样——那时她的母亲失去了她，而她自己失去了春天。”

As soon as she was where the grasses are. Bathed by the waters of the beauteous river, To lift her eyes she granted me the boon.

她一走到青草生长之处。那里被美丽河水浸润，她便恩赐于我，抬起了她的双眼。

I do not think there shone so great a light Under the lids of Venus, when transfixed By her own son, beyond his usual custom!

我想，即便维纳斯被自己的儿子一反常态地射中之时，她眼睑下也不曾闪耀如此强烈的光芒！
