The difficulty of the poem lies to a great degree, I think, in something that Dr. Johnson had noted in his attack or in his criticism on Lycidas that I mentioned on Monday.

诗歌本身的难点很大程度上，在于约翰逊博士在他对利西达斯的,抨击中提到的一些点。

It's reasonable, I think, to invoke Dr. Johnson here, Samuel Johnson, who writes in his Life of Milton that Milton's unskillful allegory appears to be one of the greatest faults of the poem.

我认为在这引用塞缪尔·约翰逊的话是很合理的，他一生都在写关于弥尔顿的文章,他指出弥尔顿不熟练的寓言成为了这部诗的大败笔之一。
