CALYPSO
卡吕普索
For nine days Ulysses floated upon his raft, until he came to the island where dwelt the goddess Calypso.
尤利西斯在他的木筏上漂流了九天，直到他来到了女神卡吕普索生活的岛屿。
On this island Ulysses stayed seven years, much against his will, thinking always of his home, his wife Penelope,
在这座岛屿上，尤利西斯待了七年，这完全违背他的意愿，一直想着自己的家庭，妻子佩涅洛佩
and his young son Telemachus. Then Athena complained to Zeus that one so just had been so long kept from his home.
和小儿子忒勒玛科斯，之后雅典娜向宙斯抱怨，如此正直的人却这么久不让他回家。
Zeus said that it should be so no longer, and he sent Hermes to Calypso to tell her to let Ulysses depart.
宙斯说这种情况不会太久了，他让赫尔墨斯去告诉卡吕普索，告诉她让尤利西斯离开。
Athena, meanwhile, went to Ithaca to bid Telemachus to go in search of his father. Hermes drew on his golden sandals,
与此同时，雅典娜前往伊萨卡，命令忒勒玛科斯去寻找他的父亲，赫尔墨斯穿上了金黄色的凉鞋，
took his wand in his hand, and came to the island where Calypso dwelt.
手中拿着魔杖，前往卡吕普索居住的岛屿。
A fair place it was. In the cave a fire of sweet-smelling wood was burning,
这是一个很不错的地方，洞穴中燃烧着火焰，木头散发出香气，
and Calypso sat at her loom and sang with a lovely voice. Round about the cave was a grove of alders and cypresses,
卡吕普索坐在她的房间里，用甜美的嗓音歌唱，洞穴周围是桤木和柏树林，
wherein many birds nested. All about the mouth of the cave was a vine with purple clusters of grapes.
里面居住着很多小鸟，洞穴门口布满了藤蔓，上面挂满了紫葡萄。
Four fountains streamed four ways through the meadows of green and violet. But Ulysses was not there,
四个瀑布从四处流向绿色植物和紫罗兰的草场，但尤利西斯没在这里，
for he sat, as was his custom, on the seashore, weeping and groaning because he was kept from his wife and home and country.
他会经常坐在海岸边，哭泣和呻吟，因为他远离妻子，家庭和国家。
When Calypso saw Hermes, she bade him come within, and gave him meat and drink. When he had ended his meal,
当卡吕普索看到赫尔墨斯时，她命令他进来，并给了他肉和酒，当他吃完后，
she asked him about his errand. He told her that he had come at the bidding of Zeus,
她询问他关于他的差事，他告诉她他是按照宙斯的吩咐来的，
and that it was the pleasure of the gods that Ulysses should return to his native country. This message vexed Calypso, and she said:
众神们愿意看到尤利西斯回到自己的国家，这个消息让卡吕普索非常恼火，并说：
You gods are always jealous when a goddess loves a mortal man. But let him go, if it pleases Zeus. Only I cannot send him,
如果有女神喜欢一位凡人，众神总会很嫉妒，但那就让他走不，如果宙斯高兴的话，但我无法送他，
for I have neither ship nor rowers. Yet will I willingly help him.
我既没有船也没有划船的人，但我愿意帮助他。
Hermes said, Do this thing speedily, lest Zeus be angry with thee. So he departed. Calypso sought Ulysses and said,
赫尔墨斯说，要尽快做，否则宙斯会生你的气，说完他离开了，卡吕普索找到了尤利西斯，并说道，
Long no more for thy native country. If thou wilt go, I will speed thee on thy way.
你回家的时间越来越近了，如果你要走，我会加快你回家的路。
I will help thee make a raft and will give thee bread, water, and wine,
我会帮你制作一个木筏，给你面包，水和红酒，
and clothe thee also, so that thou mayest return safe, for the gods will have it so.
还有衣服，这样你可以安全回家，这是众神的意愿。
