解析

1.

It was many and many a year ago, By the name of Annabel Lee;
很多很多年以前， 她名叫安娜贝尔·李
In a kingdom by the sea, And this maiden she lived with no other thought
在一个海边的国度， 这个少女活着没有别的愿望
That a maiden there lived whom you may know Than to love and be loved by me.
有个少女住在那里，你也许知道她 只是为了爱我和被我爱

  • 正常语序：

Many, many years ago, in the kingdom by the sea, a maiden whom you may know by the name of Annabel Lee lived there.

  • many and many a year ago = many years ago
  • 押韵

ago和know押韵；sea和Lee押韵

2.

With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven
我们的爱让天上的六翼天使
Coveted her and me.
都妒忌她和我

  • 英文中，名词+ed往往有相应的形容词用法 | white hair + ed = white-haired 白发的 | 六翼天使.jpg | | —- | :—-: | | one eye + ed = one-eyed 一只眼的 | | | cold blood + ed = cold-blooded 冷血的 | | | the winged seraphs = 长了翅膀的seraph（六翼天使） | |

3.

A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling So that her highborn kinsmen came
一阵风从云端吹出，冻僵了 于是她那高贵的亲戚来到（凡间）
My beautiful Annabel Lee; And bore her away from me,
我美丽的安娜贝尔·李 从我身边带走了她

  • highborn = born highly = 有着高贵出身的
  • Kinsmen = 血亲，指有着血缘关系的亲戚
  • bore是bear的过去式；bear someone away =带走某人
  • 高贵的亲戚是指她的先组从上天来到人间把她带走了 = Annabel Lee死去了

4.

To shut her up in a sepulcher
把她关进一座坟墓
In this kingdom by the sea.
在这个海边的国度

坟墓的四种不同表达和区分
sepulcher tomb grave mausoleum
sepulcher.jpg tomb.jpg grave.jpg mausoleum.jpg
tomb raider.jpg 中山陵.jpg
sepulcher和tomb很相似，一般都是指有着石室的墓穴，且一般都在地上。
不同在于，sepulcher 更少见更古典		 grave一般指地上挖坑，埋入死者的那种坟墓 mausoleum很正式，一般是地上的大墓穴，中文是陵墓。
比如南京的中山陵，翻译为Sun Yat-sen’s(孙中山) Mausoleum(陵墓)

5.

But our love it was stronger by far than the love
但是我们的爱远远超越
Of those who were older than we —
那些比我们年长的人的爱
Of many far wiser than we —
和许多远比我们聪明的人的爱

  • older than we = older than we are

wiser than we = wiser than we are
完整写出来就是 the love of those (people) who are older than we are.
为了押韵省略了句末的are

6.

In the sepulcher there by the sea,
在这海边的坟墓里
In her tomb by the sounding sea.
在这呢喃的海边的，她的坟墓里

  • sounding = giving (loud) sonud = 发出（洪亮）声响的
