Ozymandias 奥兹曼迪亚斯(杨绛 译)
Percy Bysshe Shelly
I met a traveler from an antique land,
我遇见一位来自古国的旅人
Who said----"Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
他说:有两条巨大的石腿
Stand in the desert...Near them, on the sand,
半掩于沙漠之间
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
近旁的沙土中,有一张破碎的石脸
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
抿着嘴,蹙着眉,面孔依旧威严
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
想那雕刻者,必定深谙其人情感
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
那神态还留在石头上
The hand that mocked them, and the heart, that fed;
而私人已逝,化作尘烟
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
看那石座上刻着字句:
"My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings,
“我是万王之王,奥兹曼斯迪亚斯
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
功业盖物,强者折服”
Nothing besides remains. Round the decay
此外,荡然无物
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
废墟四周,唯余黄沙莽莽
The lone and level sands stretch faraway.”
寂寞荒凉,伸展四方。

2.奥西曼提斯(王佐良 译)
客自海外归,曾见沙漠古国
有石像半毁,唯余巨腿
蹲立沙砾间。像头旁落,
半遭沙埋,但人面依然可畏,
那冷笑,那发号施令的高傲,
足见雕匠看透了主人的内心,
才把那石头刻得神情维肖,
而刻像的手和像主的心
早成灰烬。像座上大字在目:
“吾乃万王之王是也,
盖世功业,敢叫天公折服!”
此外无一物,但见废墟周围,
寂寞平沙空莽莽,
伸向荒凉的四方。
