把这一句,留给此刻的你
Ill fares the land, to hastening ills a prey Where wealth accumulates and men decay: Princes and lords may flourish or may fade; A breath can make them, as a breath has made; But a bold peasantry, their country’s pride, When once destroyed, can never be supplied.
祸患使这地荒凉,使被掳之物速遭祸患,以致财宝聚敛,人也败落。君王和首领,或兴盛,或衰微。一个气息就能创造它们,就像气息创造了它们一样;但是,一个勇敢的农民,一旦他们的国家的骄傲被摧毁,就永远无法得到补给。
