1. It was a seignorial garden in the first French style which preceded Le Notre; to-day it is ruins and briars.
那是一种贵人的花园，它那格局是最早的法国式，比勒诺特尔式还早，现在已经荒废，荆棘丛生。
2. It was damp and smelly, and overgrown with thorns and briars.
那里很潮湿和臭，长满了多刺的植物和荆棘。
3. I will lay it waste; It will not be pruned or hoed, But briars and thorns will come up I will also charge the clouds to rain no rain on it.
我必使他荒废、不再修理、不再锄刨.荆棘蒺藜倒要生长.我也必命云不降雨在其上。
4. A tangled fence of briars.
石南篱笆的纠缠。
5. And binding with briars my joys & desires.
用波折绑缚着我的欢娱和欲望。
6. But now, if I be marching on with my utmost vigour in that way which, according to the sacred geography, leads straight to Jerusalem, why am I beaten and ill-used by others because, perhaps, I wear not buskins; because my hair is not of the right cut; because, perhaps, I have not been dipped in the right fashion; because I eat flesh upon the road, or some other food which agrees with my stomach; because I avoid certain by-ways, which seem unto me to lead into briars or precipices; because, amongst the several paths that are in the same road, I choose that to walk in which seems to be the straightest and cleanest; because I avoid to keep company with some travellers that are less grave and others that are more sour than they ought to be; or, in fine, because I follow a guide that either is, or is not, clothed in white, or crowned with a mitre?
但是现在，如果我正依据那个引导人到耶路撒冷的神圣地理学劲头十足的开始我的长途跋涉，为什么要被他人暴力虐待和折磨？可能因为：我没有穿高统靴；或者我的头发未按某种样式修剪；或者我未按某种方式受洗；或者在路上我吃了肉或其它很对我胃口的食物；或者我绕开了一段在我看来要导向荆棘或悬崖的路；或者在几条通向目的地的路中我选了一条在我看来最近最好走的路；或者我避免与不怎么严肃的人以及过于酸腐的人为伴；或者，最后，因为我跟随了一个穿或未穿白衣，戴或未戴主教头冠的人。
