During the whole of a dull,dark soundless day

在那年秋季枯燥，灰暗而瞑寂的某個長日里

In the autumn of that year, when the clouds hung oppressively low in heaven

沉重的云層低懸于天穹之上

I had been passing alone on the horse's back?

我獨自一人策馬前行

Through the Singularly,dreary tract in the country

穿過這片陰沉的，異域般的鄉(xiāng)間土地

and at length found myself, as the shades of the evening drew on

最終，當(dāng)夜幕緩緩降臨的時候

Within the view of melancholy House of Usher

厄舍府清冷的景色展現(xiàn)在我眼前

I know not how it was?

我未曾目睹它過往的模樣

But with the first glimpse of the building, a sense of insufferable gloom pervaded my spirit?

但僅憑方才的一瞥，某種難以忍受的陰郁便浸透了我的內(nèi)心

I looked upon the scene before me the simple landscape features of the domain?

我望著宅邸周圍稀疏的景物

Upon the bleak walls,upon the white trunks of decayed trees

圍墻荒蕪，衰敗的樹遍體透著白色

With the utter depression souls

我的靈魂失語了

There was an iciness

我的心在冷卻

A sinking.

下沉

A sickening of the heart

顯出疲軟的病態(tài)
