《The Faerie Queene》是英语文学中最具影响力的史诗之一。Spenser将这部作品献给伊丽莎白一世，巧妙地将亚瑟王传奇与意大利文艺复兴史诗融为一体，以赞颂童贞女王的荣耀。全书每一卷都讲述了一位骑士为实现某种美德而展开的求索之旅：代表圣洁的红十字骑士，他必须斩杀恶龙并摆脱女巫Duessa的纠缠；代表节制的Sir Guyon骑士，他逃离了玛门的地窟并摧毁了Acrasia的欢愉凉亭；以及女骑士Britomart，她踏上寻找Sir Artegall的旅程，那人曾在一个受施法的

……段落要更容易些），后面的就基本看不懂了——不过我理解的内容足以让我推敲出有个女人突然出现，导致老爷逃跑了。大约一年前，我开始沉迷于阅读斯宾塞的《仙后》（The Faerie Queene，约 1497 年），我猜那次阅读对我做这个练习真的很有帮助，因为他用的有些语言在当时就已经算是古语了。我真希望这能有音频录音……
…paragraph was easier), then quite little after that - though I understood enough to glean that there was some woman who had showed up that caused the Master to flee. I really got into reading Spenser's "The Faerie Queene" (about 1497) about a year ago, and I suspect that really helped me with this exercise, since he uses some language that was archaic even back then. I really wish there was an audio recording of this…
我自己对文学中的历史金融有一种近乎痴迷的狂热。我专攻早期现代伊丽莎白时代的文学。写过一篇学位论文，论证斯宾塞在《仙后》（The Faerie Queene）第二卷中塑造的玛门（Mammon）与其说是关于非法财富的常见寓言，不如说是对伊丽莎白时代英格兰新兴的原始资本主义金融业及其带来的挑战所发起的辛辣时评攻击……
I have a stupid fascination with historical finance in literature myself. I focused on Early Modern Elizabethan literature. Wrote a thesis arguing that Spenser's Mammon in Book II of the Faerie Queene was not so much about the familiar allegory of illicit wealth but rather a vitriolic topical attack on the emerging proto-capitalist financial industry in Elizabethan England and the challenge it presented…

我一边读着伊凡·伊里奇（Ivan Illich）的《非学校化社会》（Deschooling Society），一边慢慢啃斯宾塞的《仙后》（The Faerie Queene）。
I’ve been reading “Deschooling Society” by Ivan Illich while slowly working my way through Spenser’s “The Faerie Queene”.
……超自然效果。所以我不太确定能从中得出什么结论。> 第一部设定在虚构国度里的值得关注的小说作品是什么？也许是《爱丽丝梦游仙境》（Alice in Wonderland）？或者是埃德蒙·斯宾塞的《仙后》（The Faerie Queene）？不过要我说，它跟我们现实世界的联系充其量也就是若即若离。
…supernatural effects. So I'm not sure what we can draw from this. > What is the first noteworthy piece of fiction set in a fictional land? "Alice in Wonderland", perhaps? Maybe Edmund Spenser's The Faerie Queene? Its connection to our real world is tenuous at best, I'd say.
……随着世界变得不再那么神秘，宗教也越来越被视为一种寓言，人们对未被完全知晓的虚构世界的渴望就变得愈发强烈。> 或者是埃德蒙·斯宾塞的《仙后》（The Faerie Queene）？不过要我说，它跟我们现实世界的联系充其量也就是若即若离。我也许能想到的最古老的是亚瑟王传说里的阿瓦隆（Avalon）岛？不过它跟现实世界同样也只有若即若离的联系。
…as the world becomes less mysterious and religion becomes increasingly seen as allegorical, the craving for fictional worlds where not all is known becomes more appealing. > Maybe Edmund Spenser's The Faerie Queene? Its connection to our real world is tenuous at best, I'd say. Maybe the oldes I can think of is the land of Avalon in Athurian legend? Still would have a tenuous connection to the real world.
