In the course of the sun-shot moment that my glance slithered

在我的目光掠过跪着的孩子那个充满阳光的瞬间
over the kneeling child, her eyes blinking over those stern,

(她的眼睛在那副令人生畏的黑眼镜后面不住地眨着
dark spectacles, the little Herr Doktor who was to cure

那个会医治好我所有病痛的小大夫先生)
me of all my aches, while I passed by her in my adult

虽然我披着成年人的
disguise, a great, big, handsome hunk of movieland

伪装(一个电影界里高大英俊富有魅力的男子形体)
manhood, the vacuum of my soul managed to

从她身旁走过但我空虚的灵魂却设法把她的鲜明艳丽
suck in every detail of her bright beauty and these I checked against

的姿色全都吸收进去又拿每个细微之处去和我死去的
the features of my dead bride.

小新娘的容貌核对比照
A little later of course she, this nouvelle, this Lolita,

当然过了一会儿工夫她这个新人儿这个洛丽塔
my lolita, was to eclipse completely her prototype.

我的洛丽塔就完全超越了她的原型
All I want to stress is that my discovery of her was a fatal

我想强调的是我对她的发现不过是在我保守痛苦
consequence of that "princedom by the sea" in my tortured past."

的过去'海边那个小公国'的必然后果"
