英语诗歌:I met a traveller from an antique land
I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown
And wrinkled lip and sneer 1 of cold command
Tell that its sculptor 2 well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed.
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings:
Look on my works, ye mighty 3, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains 4. Round the decay
Of that colossal 5 wreck 6, boundless 7 and bare,
The lone 8 and level sands stretch far away.
trunk: person's body without legs, arms or head
trunkless: without trunk
visage: face
wrinkled: slightly folded; creased
sneer: contemptuous or mocking smile
Percy Bysshe Shelley
