济慈的<初读Chapman英译荷马>在英诗中脍炙人口。新诗人穆旦误译末句，只因忽略一对破折号“－－”。“尽”字不妥，“沉默肃立”指探险领队本人，而非从伴。拙译五言，彷原诗意大利佩特拉体十四行五步韵格：abbaabba/cdcdcd，纯属戏笔，仅供参考：www.thomehfang.com/suncrates7/Keats.htm。英译荷马我个人则偏好Pope，请听朗诵：http://t.cn/RzOsyQe与http://t.cn/RzOsyQH

On first looking into Chapman's Homer John Keats （1795–1821）

初览查普门英译荷马 约翰·济慈（1795-1821） 孙格拉底试译

MUCH have I travell'd in the realms of gold,  And many goodly states and kingdoms seen;  Round many western islands have I been Which bards in fealty to Apollo hold. Oft of one wide expanse had I been told  That deep-brow'd Homer ruled as his demesne:  Yet did I never breathe its pure serene Till I heard Chapman speak out loud and bold: Then felt I like some watcher of the skies  When a new planet swims into his ken;  Or like stout Cortez, when with eagle eyes  He stared at the Pacific—and all his men Look'd at each other with a wild surmise—  Silent, upon a peak in Darien.

宝地遨游遍，a 丽都见识多；b 西岛任巡罗，b 吟游宗阿仙。a 域广不虚传，a 荷马智深灼。b 清气不入我，b 雄放查辞鲜。a 如睹新星涌；c 或如柯杰壮：d 默立达利峰，c 鹰瞰太平洋。d 　　　相觑众懵懵，c 　　　惊愕费猜狂！ｄ
