衷心倾慕伟大人物的美名，
A loving-kindness for the great man's fame,
往往与默默无闻的百姓为邻，
Dwells here and there with people of no name,
身居陋巷，或人迹罕至的树林：
In noisome alley, and in pathless wood.
我们认为不懂世事的天真
And where we think the truth least understood,
却常常具有“锲而不舍的精神”，
Oft may be found a 'singleness of aim'
这使高利贷商贾、可怜的一群
That ought to frighten into hooded shame
感到惊异，羞赧，无颜见人。
A money-mongering, pitiable brood.
意志坚强的天才，献身于理想，
How glorious this affection for the cause
勇敢地劳作，赢得了无上的荣耀！
Of steadfast genius, toiling gallantly!
不屈的志士，威慑住嫉妒和中伤，
What when a stout unbending champion awes
使它们丑态毕露，有什么不好？
Envy and Malice to their native sty?
无数颗良心都在默默地赞扬，
Unnumbered souls breathe out a still applause,
在人们心目中，他是祖国的骄傲！
Proud to behold him in his country's eye.
