虚无缥缈

Prometheus.How fair these airborn shapes!

这些虚无缥缈的身形多么窈窕！

As when a Vultur on Imaus bred, Whose snowie ridge the roving Tartar bounds, Dislodging from a Region scarce of prey To gorge the flesh of Lambs or yeanling Kids On Hills where Flocks are fed, flies toward the Springs [ 435 ] Of Ganges or Hydaspes, Indian streams; But in his way lights on the barren Plaines Of Sericana, where Chineses drive With Sails and Wind thir canie Waggons light: So on this windie Sea of Land, the Fiend [ 440 ] Walk'd up and down alone bent on his prey, Alone, for other Creature in this place Living or liveless to be found was none, None yet, but store hereafter from the earth Up hither like Aereal vapours flew [ 445 ] Of all things transitorie and vain, when Sin With vanity had filld the works of men: Both all things vain, and all who in vain things Built thir fond hopes of Glorie or lasting fame, Or happiness in this or th' other life; [ 450 ] All who have thir reward on Earth, the fruits Of painful Superstition and blind Zeal, Naught seeking but the praise of men, here find Fit retribution, emptie as thir deeds; All th' unaccomplisht works of Natures hand, [ 455 ] Abortive, monstrous, or unkindly mixt, Dissolvd on earth, fleet hither, and in vain, Till final dissolution, wander here, Not in the neighbouring Moon, as some have dreamd; Those argent Fields more likely habitants, [ 460 ] Translated Saints, or middle Spirits hold Betwixt th' Angelical and Human kinde: Hither of ill-joynd Sons and Daughters born First from the ancient World those Giants came With many a vain exploit, though then renownd: [ 465 ] The builders next of Babel on the Plain Of Sennaar, and still with vain designe New Babels, had they wherewithall, would build

好像一只伊马乌斯山上生长的秃鹫，在雪岭环绕着鞑靼人流浪的地方，食饵的缺乏迫使他们到放牧羊群的诸小山上去，吃饱了羊羔的肉之后，飞向印度恒河或印度河的发源地；途中降落在丝利刻奈的荒野，那儿的中国人用风帆驾驶藤的轻车。魔王如同这鸷禽，独自徘徊在如海洋一样多风的大地上，寻觅食饵。他真觉孤单，因为那里还找不到其他生物，无论是活，是死；只是后来，罪恶用虚荣填满了人的事业，才从地上升起一切虚无缥缈的东西，像飘浮的气体一般升腾到那里：包括一切虚幻的东西，以及所有人，那些把他们的光荣希望、不朽声名、今生来世的幸福都建筑在虚无缥缈上的人们。有些人在今世得了报应，即可悲的迷信和盲目的狂热追求所结的果实，只追求凡人的称赞，和他们的空虚行为相称的酬报，空虚。自然所未完成的工程，流产的、畸形的、乱七八糟混杂在一块儿，在地上消灭了，都飞到这里来，在这里徒然彷徨，直到最后破灭；有些人把梦想寄托在邻近的月球上，那同样是荒谬的。在那银色的世界里，有各种各样的类族：近乎真实的居民，超升的圣者，介乎天使和人类之间的中性精灵；神的众子和人间女子所生的巨人族，首先从古代世界来，当时很出名，还带来了许多空幻的功业。其次是示拿平原上巴别塔的建筑者，他们还有虚空的计划，要是材料有余的话，还要建筑些新的巴别塔。

But the shadow was vague, and formless, and indefinite, and was the shadow neither of man nor of God- neither God of Greece, nor God of Chaldaea, nor any Egyptian God.

但那影子仍若明若暗，虚无缥缈，毫不成形；既不像人也不像神——不像希腊的神，不像迦勒底的神，也不像埃及的任何神。

Fingers we will be able to expose them in their flesh apart from a bit smelly chop suey, what are perhaps not; Their influence from the African deep weeds on the trailer over, but even a blade is not bending.

他们惟一的事情就是生病和搞阴谋，但什么事情也没有发生，象任何其他事情，象整个伪善的慈善企业，象他们的行政机构，象他们的工作外表一样虚无缥缈。

It was only that and light was all it needed and a certain cleanness and order.

全是虚无缥缈，人也是虚无缥缈的。

And,like the baseless fabric of this vision,The cloud-capped towers,the gorgeous palaces,The solemn temples,the great globe itself Yea,all which it inherit,shall dissolve,And,like an insubstantial pageant faded,Leave not a rack behind.

如同这虚无缥缈的幻景一样，入云的楼阁、瑰伟的宫殿、庄严的庙堂，甚至地球自身，以及地球上所有的一切，都将同样消散，就像这一场幻景，连一点烟云的影子都不曾留下。

And, like the baseless fabric of this vision,The cloud-capped towers, the gorgeous palaces,The solemn temples, the great globe itselfYea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve,And, like an insubstantial pageant faded,Leave not a rack behind.

如同这虚无缥缈的幻景一样，入云的楼阁、瑰伟的宫殿、庄严的庙堂，甚至地球自身，以及地球上所有的一切，都将同样消散，就像这一场幻景，连一点烟云的影子都不曾留下。

Our revels row are ended: these our actors,As I foretold you,wereall spirits, andAre melted into air, into thin air:And, likethebaseless fabric of this vision,The cloud-capped towers, thegorgeouspalaces,The solemn temples, the great globe itselfYea, allwhich itinherit, shall dissolve,And, like an insubstantialpageantfaded,Leave not arackbehind.

我们的这一些演员们，我曾经告诉过你，原是一群精灵；他们都已化成淡烟而消散了。如同这虚无缥缈的幻景一样，入云的楼阁、瑰伟的宫殿、庄严的庙堂，甚至地球自身，以及地球上所有的一切，都将同样消散，就像这一场幻景，连一点烟云的影子都不曾留下。

His chief equipment seems to be disinterestedness. He moves in a void, without audience.

他主要的本事似乎是超然不群；生活在虚无缥缈中，没有听众。

As they crept along, stooping low to discern the plant, a soft yellow gleam was reflected from the buttercups into their shaded faces, giving them an elfish, moonlit aspect, though the sun was pouring upon their backs in all the strength of noon.

他们一路搜索的时候，腰弯得低低的，以便看得见地上的蒜苗，阳光照射在毛茛上，从上面反射出来的柔和的黄色光线投射在他们背朝阳光的脸上，使他们看上去有些像在月光照射下的虚无缥缈的样子，尽管此时的太阳正在用中午的全部力量把光线照射在他们的背上。

Neither the killing of Mr Zarqawi nor any breakthrough on the political front will stop the insurgency and the fratricidal murders in their tracks.

在对危险的南部地区访问时，他斥责什叶派民兵领导人对中央集权的挑衅行为。

In fact,I've got him on the satellite mobile right now.

实际上 我们已接通卫星可视电话了
