胡適之先生也很喜歡丁尼生Lord Alfred Tennyson的詩 ："Ulysses" ( 1833)、St Simeon Stylites ，The Charge of the Light Brigade；

胡適之先生也很喜歡Lord Alfred Tennyson的詩，最早在留學時代：1915年3月....

胡適曾經用格律詩體翻譯了英國詩人阿爾弗雷德· 丁尼生（Alfred Tennyson ，1809-1892 年）的《輕騎兵出擊》，譯為《六百男兒行》。

The Charge of the Light Brigade

六百男兒行

Alfred, Lord Tennyson

1.

Half a league, half a league,

Half a league onward,

All in the valley of Death

Rode the six hundred.

"Forward, the Light Brigade!

"Charge for the guns!" he said:

Into the valley of Death

Rode the six hundred.

半里复半里，半里向前馳。
馳驅入死地，六百好男兒。
男兒前進耳，會須奪炮歸。
馳驅入死地，六百好男兒。

2.

"Forward, the Light Brigade!"

Was there a man dismay'd?

Not tho' the soldier knew

Someone had blunder'd:

Theirs not to make reply,

Theirs not to reason why,

Theirs but to do and die:

Into the valley of Death

Rode the six hundred.

男兒前進耳，豈復生恇懼。
軍令即有失，吾曹豈復顧。
不敢复詰責，戰死以為期。
偕來就死地，六百好男兒。

3.

Cannon to right of them,

Cannon to left of them,

Cannon in front of them

Volley'd and thunder'd;

Storm'd at with shot and shell,

Boldly they rode and well,

Into the jaws of Death,

Into the mouth of Hell

Rode the six hundred.

左右皆巨砲，巨砲當吾前。
炮聲震天地，炸彈相蟬聯。
男兒善磬控，馳驅入鬼谷。
六百好男兒，偕來臨地獄

4.

Flash'd all their sabres bare,

Flash'd as they turn'd in air,

Sabring the gunners there,

Charging an army, while

All the world wonder'd:

Plunged in the battery-smoke

Right thro' the line they broke;

Cossack and Russian

Reel'd from the sabre stroke

Shatter'd and sunder'd.

Then they rode back, but not

Not the six hundred.

刀光何熠爚，殺敵如犬羊。
孤軍當大敵，聲名天下煌。
蒙彈冒矢石，陷陣复衝堅。
怯哉哥薩克，逡巡不敢前。
敵陣亂且靡，男兒縱轡歸。
歸來非六百，六百好男兒。

5.

Cannon to right of them,

Cannon to left of them,

Cannon behind them

Volley'd and thunder'd;

Storm'd at with shot and shell,

While horse and hero fell,

They that had fought so well

Came thro' the jaws of Death

Back from the mouth of Hell,

All that was left of them,

Left of six hundred.

左右皆巨砲，巨砲逼吾後。
炮聲起四圍，轟然若當吼。
砲彈相蟬聯，馬僕健兒死。
苦戰得旋歸，歸自鬼伯齒。
鬼谷入復出，復出良不易。
悲彼戰死者，朝出暮相棄。

6.

When can their glory fade?

O the wild charge they made!

All the world wondered.

Honor the charge they made,

Honor the Light Brigade,

Noble six hundred.

英名何時墜，一戰驚天下。

勗哉天下人，欽此專嚴者。

----
St Simeon Stylites by Lord Alfred Tennyson

胡適在與楊聯陞談論楊先生的"自搏和自撲" 論文時，指出英國詩人丁尼生Tennyson 的作品 Saint Simoen Stylites有中古"聖徒"這方面的描述 ，他推薦楊讀該詩。

有意思的是，該文給胡適的不朽論，竟不是胡的三不朽（楊聯陞先生在給《陳世驤先生選集》作序敬輓，就是用胡適的話來破題的--該文功力不凡），或是像我們在＜華爾街院長＞中了解的，B. Graham 的墓誌銘是刻了他與胡適都極喜愛的丁尼生 (Alfred, Lord Tennyson 1833)詩歌 “Ulysses”的句子。Wikipedia article "Ulysses (poem)". （詳《努力、探尋、發現、永不退讓、不屈服》）
