5.Percy Bysshe Shelley

5.珀西·比西·雪莱

Percy Shelley was a great friend of Lord Byron, but his character was a little different. He was a well-intentioned and idealistic poet who unwittingly left a trail of destruction in his wake. He was the son of a landowner and educated at Eton, where he was known as “Mad Shelley” for his interest in the new science of electricity. He was bullied terribly and developed a hatred of the social system, becoming a passionate supporter of the French Revolution.

雪莱是拜伦的好朋友，但他们的性格有点不同。他是个善良的理想主义诗人，偶尔无意中留下点破坏的痕迹。他是一个地主的儿子，就读于伊顿公学，因为对电力新科学的爱好被人们称为“疯狂的雪莱”。他深深地受害于社会制因此特别仇恨它，后来成了法国大革命热情的支持者。

At Oxford, he wrote a pamphlet entitled “The Necessity of Atheism” that was sold in a bookshop directly opposite his college and led to his expulsion. He became estranged from his father and was forever in need of money. With a growing family and a lurid reputation within England, Shelley left for a peripatetic life in Italy in 1818. He dragged his family and hangers-on from Florence to Pisa, then to Naples, and finally Livorno, where he drowned in 1822.

在牛津，他写了本名为“无神论的必要性”的小册子，并在大学正对面出售。因此学校开除了他。后来他日渐与父亲疏远而且总是缺钱。随着孩子增多，而且雪莱在英格兰的名誉也是骇人听闻，1818年他前往意大利过着居无定所的生活。他拖家带口从佛罗伦萨到比萨，然后到了那不勒斯，最后到了利沃诺，却于1822年在那里溺水生亡。
