几个需要请教的。。。

http://epaper.pchome.com.tw/archive/last.htm?s_date=old&s_dir=20080408&s_code=0237&s_cat=人文抒情

在那最后一句的理解上。。。。

Not one of all the purple Host
Who took the Flag today
Can tell the definition
So clear of Victory
As he defeated-dying
On whose forbidden ear
The distant strains of triumph
Burst agonized and clear!

请教了非马老师，答复是：

我想agonized是指人(否则该用agonizing), 而clear 则指声音.刚到网上查了一下,果然有下面类似的这个说法:

The dying man's ears are not forbidden; rather, the sounds of triumph are forbidden to him because his side lost the battle. The triumphant sounds that he hears are not agonized, though they are clear to him; rather, he is agonized at hearing the clear sounds of triumph of the other side.

多谢非马的解答。

晚上，Terry 来家做客，也借机请教了一下。和非马老师一致。
