Under the bludgeonings of chance, My head is bloody, but unbowed. 就算被地狱紧紧攫住， 我不会畏缩，也不惊叫。 经受过一浪又一浪的打击， 我满头鲜血不低头。 Beyond this place of wrath and tears, Looms but the Horror of the shade, And yet the menace of the years, Finds and shall find me unafraid. 在这满是愤怒和眼泪的世界之外， 恐怖的阴影在游荡。 还有，未来的威胁， 可是我毫不畏惧。 It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll, I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul. 无论我将穿过的那扇门有多窄， 无论我将肩承怎样的责罚。 我是命运的主宰， 我是灵魂的统帅。 今日跟读金句 In the fell clutch of circumstance, I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance, My head is bloody, but unbowed. 就算被地狱紧紧攫住， 我不会畏缩，也不惊叫。 经受过一浪又一浪的打击， 我满头鲜血不低头
