海之戀——英國桂冠詩人梅斯菲爾德

　　John Masefield

　　I MUST go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,

　　And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by,

　　And the wheel's kick and the wind's song and the white sail's shaking,

　　And a gray mist on the sea's face, and a gray dawn breaking.

　　我多想再次回到大海，

　　回到那寂寥的海天相連

　　我只想獨自駕駛那高大的帆船，看浪花和白帆在風的歌唱中飛舞

　　霧雨彌漫在海面，透出曙色一線

　　I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide

　　Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;

　　And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,

　　And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.

　　我多想再次回到大海

　　傾聽那奔越的潮汐的吶喊

　　那野性的呼喚如此清晰使我無法拒絕

　　風舞云飛，浪花涌濺，還有那海鷗的哭啼，是我唯一的惦念

　　I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life,

　　To the gull's way and the whale's way, where the wind's like a whetted knife;

　　And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover,

　　And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick's over.我一定要再次回到大海

　　似吉普賽人浪跡天邊

　　像海鷗，像鯨魚，咧咧的風像一把鋒利的刀

　　我只想似流浪者笑對如戲人生，讓欺詐在靜謐、甜美的夢中消散
