《厄舍府的倒塌》选段

During the whole of a dull,dark soundless day，in the autumn of that year

在那年秋季枯燥，灰暗而暝寂的某个长日里

When the clouds hung oppressively low in heaven

沉重的云层低悬于天穹之上

I have benn passing alone on the horse's back

我独自一人策马前行

Through the Singularly,dreary tract in the country

穿过这片阴沉地，异域般的乡间土地

And at length found myself as the shades of the evening drew on

最终当夜幕缓缓降临的时候

Within the view of melancholy House of Usher

厄舍府清冷的景色展现在我眼前

I know not how it was

我未曾目睹它过往的模样

But with the first glimpse of the building

但仅凭方才的一瞥

A sense of insufferable gloom pervaded my spirit

某种难以忍受的阴郁便浸透了我的内心

I looked upon some blank scape for domain

我望着宅邸周围稀疏的景物

Upon the bleak walls，upon the white trunks of decayed trees

围墙荒芜，衰败的树木遍体惨白

With the utter depression souls

我的灵魂失语了

There was an iceness

我的心在冷却

A sinking

下沉

A sickening of the heart

显现出疲软的病态
