一天内的四个时刻

歌词
Painter William Hogarth rejected artifice to create a new picture of London.
画家威廉·贺加斯用最真实的笔触,呈现出别具一格的伦敦。
In a series of paintings from 1736 entitled Four Times Of The Day,
在他于1736年创作的《一天内的四个时刻》组图中,
Hogarth paints London as a divided city, where high society rubbed shoulders with London's chaotic grimy truths.
贺加斯将伦敦的阶级性呈现无遗,上等阶层的人们,同伦敦的混乱本质,共生共存。
It begins on a freezing morning in Covent Garden.
画卷从柯芬园的一个寒冷清晨开始。
An affluent lady makes her way to church past drunken revellers staggering home from the night before.
一名贵妇在去往教堂的路上,身边的醉汉整夜狂欢后蹒跚回家
She is oblivious to the huddle of beggars and whores warming themselves by the fire.
她对一群在火边取暖的乞丐和妓 女熟视无睹。
At noon, the notorious slum district of St Giles is a divided world.
中午时分,臭名昭著的圣伊莱斯贫民窟,恍若两个世界。
On the left, a group of fashionable Huguenot immigrants pour out of the French church.
左边,一群穿着时髦的胡格诺派移民(胡格诺派:16至17世纪法国的新教徒)从法式教堂中涌出。
On the other side of the street are a group of well fed but slovenly English peasants.
大街的另一边是一群饱暖无忧却又不修边幅的英国农民。
The only thing that connects these two worlds is a dead cat that lies across the kerb.
这两个世界的唯一联系是,一只横躺在路缘上的死猫。
