让我们看看约翰逊博士在18世纪对弥尔顿的《利西达斯》所做的评论。
Let's look at the comments that Dr. Johnson made about Milton's Lycidas in the eighteenth century.
但《利西达斯》讲的不是诗人的力量。
But the subject of Lycidas isn't the empowerment of the poet.
写《利西达斯》的时候弥尔顿将近29岁了。
Milton's nearly twenty-nine years old when he writes Lycidas.
我们凭什么希冀女神们会帮助可怜的利西达斯?
Why after all should we expect the nymphs to have helped poor Lycidas?
他问众神利西达斯怎么了,是谁让他的船沉没的。
He asks the gods what has happened to Lycidas and who exactly was responsible for the sinking of Lycidas' ship.
看一下183行,弥尔顿想象着利西达斯身在天堂。
他想象死去的利西达斯,在排山倒海的浪潮覆盖下拜访尽是妖怪的海底。
He conjures the indecorous image of the dead Lycidas under the whelming tide visiting the bottom of the monstrous sea.
利西达斯在天堂也要洗头发,正如在人间一样,但在天堂总会有点不同。
Lycidas is going to shampoo his hair in heaven much as he shampooed his hair on earth, except in heaven there's always a difference.
似乎利西达斯依然死去,因此弥尔顿才得以继续存活,并成为一个伟大的诗人。
It's as if Lycidas has died so that Milton could live to become a great poet.
利西达斯不合时宜的死亡似乎,使得弥尔顿能够掌握他自己对于不合时宜的恐惧。
Lycidas' untimely death seems to enable Milton to master his own fears of untimeliness.
讲义上有这些经典作者的经典诗作,弥尔顿的《利西达斯》是受这些诗作的启发写成的。
You can see on the handout those poems by those classical authors that Milton's Lycidas is most indebted to.
感谢上帝,在《利西达斯》中,弥尔顿做的不像,他在《达蒙的墓志铭》的结尾那样过火。
In Lycidas Milton doesn't let himself, thank God, go quite so far as he does in this amazing ending to "Damon's Epitaph."
看这个问题的另一个角度:让我们看看,约翰逊博士在18世纪队弥尔顿的《利西达斯》所做的评论。
Another way into this problem: let's look at the comments that Dr. Johnson made about Milton's Lycidas in the eighteenth century.
约翰逊说《利西达斯》不是,真挚情感的流露,因为真情不是通过遥远的幻境和隐晦的观点来表达的。
Johnson tells us that Lycidas is not to be considered as the effusion of real passion, for passion runs not after remote allusions and obscure opinions.
可以看出在《利西达斯》中弥尔顿是在问:,《科玛斯》中哥哥所说的, 善有善报恶有恶报是真的么?
You can figure Milton asking in this poem Lycidas if it's true: is it true what the Elder Brother said, ? that virtue is always rewarded and evil punished?
六年后弥尔顿写《 利西达斯》的时候,表现的还是这种未准备好的状态,充满了同样的为薄发而厚积时的焦躁。
Six years later when Milton writes Lycidas, he's employing the same fiction of unreadiness and filled with all of the same anxiety of under-preparedness.
所有的自律和自我克制,都无能为力--这似乎是《利西达斯》的含义之一,-所有这些都无法避免这位诗人的早逝。
All of the self-discipline and all of the self-denial in the world can do nothing -- this seems to be one of the implications of this poem - can do nothing to protect the poet from an untimely death.
更重要的是,利西达斯在天堂依旧会唱歌,正如他在人间唱歌一样,除了现在他听到的是unexpressive的,-意思是“难以言传的“--婚礼之歌。
And even more important, Lycidas will continue to sing in heaven just as he had sung on earth, except now he can hear the unexpressive - that means "inexpressible" -- nuptial song.

I also liked the two social projects, the Julie project 1993-2010, by Darcy Padilla (the United States) and the Name of Victoria by Mads Nissen (Denmark).
