求乔叟坎特伯雷故事集The General Prologue 这部分的译文，有中文网站更好

《坎特伯雷故事集》基本上采用诗歌体，开头的几行非常有名：

四月时分，甜蜜的阵雨飘落，
穿越干旱的三月，浸透了万物的根部，
把强力酒精的每一根经络浸泡，
草木发芽，渐次生花；
西风呼出甜美的气息，
席卷了荒地和林丘
嫩枝和嫩叶，青春的阳光
在白羊星座走了一半的历程，
无数小鸟通宵达旦睁着眼睛，
此时齐声歌唱
（大自然骚扰着它们躁动不安）；
这时，人们渴望走上朝圣之路……

原文如下：

Whan that Aprill, with his shoures soote
The droghte of March hath perced to the roote
And bathed every veyne in swich licour,
Of which vertu engendred is the flour;
Whan Zephirus eek with his sweete breeth
Inspired hath in every holt and heeth
The tendre croppes, and the yonge sonne
Hath in the Ram his halfe cours yronne,
And smale foweles maken melodye,
That slepen al the nyght with open eye-
(So priketh hem Nature in hir corages);
Thanne longen folk to goon on pilgrimages

可以看到，这种英语普通人是根本看不懂的，必须翻译成现代英语：

When in April the sweet showers fall
That pierce March's drought to the root and all
And bathed every vein in liq
