[翻譯] Iron Maiden - Rime Of The Ancient Ma …
一年多前在這版第一次發文
版大的熱烈回應實在讓小弟受寵若驚
因故裝死了一年多而今天奉上一篇翻譯文 XD
我是煞到在flight 666的版本

part 2
Adrian Smith的這段live solo好棒,第一次聽就愛上了!!
不過在youtube的網友有指出在4:22秒時Adrian的衣服上忽然出現星星隨後又消失
似乎是不小心剪到別場的演出 XD
歷史上真的有The Rime of the Ancient Mariner這一首詩
中文譯作"老水手之歌"或"古舟子詠"
是18世紀英國詩人Samuel Taylor Coleridge所寫的鉅作
而Harris叔叔寫的歌詞並沒有與原作相去太遠
詩中寓意深遠,饒富有基督教的宗教觀點
也有外文系的朋友跟我說過很深奧,我翻到一半就有點後悔了 XD
還參考了一些資料力求不要翻譯錯誤

最後引述在musicradar網站看到的一句話 http://ppt.cc/GRHM
"A 13 minute epic based on a Samuel Taylor Coleridge poem? Oh yes!"

Caught by his spell and the mariner tells his tale.

Driven south to the land of the snow and ice
開船往南到一個充滿冰雪的地方

Hailed in God's name, hoping good luck it brings.
它被以上帝的名叫喚著,希望它能帶來好運
And the ship sails on, back to the North

"Day after day, day after day,
日復一日,日復一日
we stuck nor breath nor motion

as idle as a painted ship upon a painted ocean
就像一個畫中的船停在畫中的海洋上閒置著

too quick for groan or sigh

each turned his face with a ghastly pang

and cursed me with his eye
並轉過來用眼神詛咒我
four times fifty living men

(and I heard nor sigh nor groan)
而我聽不見任何的呻吟嘆息
with heavy thump, a lifeless lump,
死亡的笨重軀體重重地倒下
they dropped down one by one."
他們一個接著一個地倒了下去
The curse it lives on in their eyes
詛咒的恨意還在他們眼裡
The mariner he wished he'd die
Along with the sea creatures
