蒲伯的《隐居颂》： 注释: the first stanza can be rewritten like this: the man is happy, whose wish and care are bound by a few paternal acres, and who is content to breathe his native air in his own ground. 其意思相当于《中庸》上所说的“君子素位而行，不愿乎其外。”Jude The Obscure 中有一句话说：a contented mind is a continual feast.(Jude the Obscure.P378) Whose herds with milk, /whose fields with bread,/Whose flocks supply him with attire; 前两行省略了“supply him with”。Attire：服装。 unconcern’dly，即unconcernedly：漫不经心，无忧无虑，悠然自得。第三节可以改写成：Blest is the man who can unconcern’dly find Hours, days, and years slide soft away In health of body and in peace of mind 相当于“ I see him leave.”这样的句子。 study and ease /Together mix’d; sweet creation;/And innocence, which most does please/With meditation. 他劳逸结合，有令人欢喜的娱乐活动，还有天真的性情。这天真的性情与沉思结合起来，最使他高兴。 内容解析：避开尘世的烦扰，与世无争，潜心学术，并悠然自得地享受田园生活，这是最幸福的。与《庄子》“恬淡寂寞，虚无无为”（《刻意》）之说有相似之处。陶渊明有几句诗可以与此诗相参：“息交游闲业，卧起弄书琴。园蔬有余滋（生长得很多。滋：生长），旧谷犹储今。营己良有极，过足非所钦。舂秫作美酒，酒熟吾自斟。弱子戏我侧，学语未成吟。此事真复乐，聊用忘华簪（比喻高官厚禄）。”（《和郭主薄》其一） 形式解析：此诗五节，每节四行。韵尾是abab。节奏主要是四音步抑扬格(i/ambic te/trameter)，每节四音步： Happy │the man, │ whose wish │and care A few │pater│nal a│cres bound, Content│ to breathe │his na│tive air In his │own ground. Whose herds │with milk, │whose fields │with bread, Whose flocks │supply │him with│ attire; Whose trees│ in sum│mer yield│ him shade, In win│ter fire. Blest, who │can un│concern’d│ly find Hours, days, │and years │slide soft│ away In health│ of bo│dy, peace│ of mind, Quiet │by day, Sound sleep│ by night; │ study│ and ease Toge│ther mix’d; │ sweet cre│ation; And in│nocence, │ which most │does please With me│ditation. Thus let │me live, │unseen, │unknown; Thus un│lamen│ted let│ me die; Steal from │the world, │ and not│ a stone Tell where │I lie. Ode on Solitude Alexander Pope 　　 　　 Happy the man whose wish and care 　　 A few paternal acres bound, 　　 Content to breathe his native air, 　　 In his own ground. 　　 　　 Whose herds with milk, whose fields with bread, 　　 Whose flocks supply him with attire, 　　 Whose tree
