爱伦坡选段

　During the whole of a dull,dark soundless day
　　在那年秋季枯燥，灰暗而瞑寂的某个长日里
　　
　　In the autumn of that year, when the clouds hung oppressively low in heaven
　　沉重的云层低悬于天穹之上
　　
　　I had been passing alone on the horse's back
　　我独自一人策马前行
　　
　　Through the Singularly,dreary tract in the country
　　穿过这片阴沉的，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, a sense of insufferable gloom pervaded my spirit
　　但仅凭方才的一瞥，某种难以忍受的阴郁便浸透了我的内心
　　
　　I looked upon the scene before me the simple landscape features of the 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，衰败的树遍体透着白色
　　
　　With the utter depression souls
　　我的灵魂失语了
　　
　　There was an iciness
　　我的心在冷却
　　
　　A sinking.
　　下沉
　　
　　A sickening of the heart
　　显出疲软的病态
