The Ruined Maid - a poem by Thomas Hardyوخادمة المخروب -- قصيدة توماس هاردي

"O 'Melia, my dear, this does everything crown! "يا ميليا ، يا عزيزي ، هذا لا ولي كل شيء!
Who could have supposed I should meet you in Town? فمن كان من المفترض ينبغي لي أن ألتقي بكم في بلدة؟
And whence such fair garments, such prosperi-ty?" ومثل هذه الملابس من حيث عادلة ، مثل بروسبيري - تاي؟ "
"O didn't you know I'd been ruined?" "هل تعلمون يا خراب لا يهمني ان كان؟" said she. قالت.

"You left us in tatters, without shoes or socks, "تركت لنا في حالة يرثى لها ، دون حذاء أو جوارب ،
Tired of digging potatoes, and spudding up docks; تعبت من حفر البطاطا ، وspudding بالتسجيل في الاحواض ؛
And now you've gay bracelets and bright feathers three!" والآن كنت مثلي الجنس ، والأساور الريش مشرق ثلاثة! "
"Yes: that's how we dress when we're ruined," said she. "نعم : هذه هي الطريقة التي نرتدي عندما دمر نحن" ، قالت.

-"At home in the barton you said 'thee' and 'thou,' -- "على أرضه في بارتون قال كنت اليك' و 'أنت ،'
And 'thik oon,' and 'theäs oon,' and 't'other'; but now و 'thik أون' ، و 'أون theäs ،' و 't'other' ، ولكن الآن
Your talking quite fits 'ee for high compa-ny!" الحديث الخاص بك يناسب تماما 'ه عن ارتفاع المقارنة ، نيويورك!"
"Some polish is gained with one's ruin," said she. "اكتساب بعض البولندية مع احد الخراب" ، قالت.

"Your hands were like paws then, your face blue and bleak "كانت يديك مثل الكفوف ذلك الحين ، وجهك والزرقاء القاتمة
But now I'm bewitched by your delicate cheek, ولكن الآن انا مسحور من قبل الدقيقة خدك ،
And your little gloves fit as on any la-dy!" والقليل القفازات الخاصة بك وتناسب على أي دى لوس انجليس! "
"We never do work when we're ruined," said she. نحن لم نفعل العمل عندما كنا ، نحن خراب "وقال" إنها.

"You used to call home-life a hag-ridden dream, "يمكنك استخدام لنداء الوطن والحياة والتي تعاني من حلم الحاج ،
And you'd sigh, and you'd sock; but at present you seem وكنت تنفس الصعداء ، وكنت جورب ، ولكن في الوقت الحاضر يبدو لك
To know not of megrims or melancho-ly!" التي لا يعلمها من megrims أو melancho لي! "
"True. One's pretty lively when ruined," said she. "صحيح. المرء حيوية جدا عندما دمر" ، قالت.

"I wish I had feathers, a fine sweeping gown, "أتمنى لو كان الريش ، وتجتاح ثوب الجميلة ،
And a delicate face, and could strut about Town!" ووجه دقيق ، ويمكن أن تبختر حول المدينة! "
"My dear a raw country girl, such as you be, "عزيزي زوجة البلد الخام ، مثل أن تكون ،
Cannot quite expect that. لا يمكن أن نتوقع تماما أن. You ain't ruined," said she. خراب أنت لا "، قالت.

*شرح مختصر للقصيده
"In Thomas Hardy's poem, The Ruined Maid, there are two speakers, the first one being a friend of Melia, and the second one being Melia, the ruined maid. The friend notices that Melia's appearance has changed dramatically since she has last seen her, and she comments,
"You left us in tatters, without shoes or socks,/ Tired of digging potatoes, and spudding up docks;/ And now you've gay bracelets and bright feathers three!" (ll 5-7). to which Melia replies, "Yes: that's how we dress when we're ruined" (l 8). Her response is dripping with sarcasm. She lost her chastity, and was probably scorned for it, but she doesn't care. She knows that her life is better than when she was "digging up potatoes" and she is content with the choices she made. The friend seems excited by the transformed Melia, and she gushes on with compliments, to which Melia responds nonchalantly."

*شرح كل Stanza من القصيده

Stanza One

The speaker of the first three lines is an unnamed farm maid, who expresses disbelief at seeing a woman named 'Melia in the town street. This unnamed speaker reveals the most about titular ruined maid, 'Melia.' It is here that we learn that 'Melia is dressed well and looks prosperous. In each stanza, 'Melia speaks the last line, indicating that she's been 'ruined'. In this context, 'ruined' means that she has crossed the Victorian-era morality line by selling herself. She would be considered soiled and unmarriageable even among men of her own class.

Stanza Two

The unnamed farm maid reveals that when 'Melia left the farm she lacked shoes and socks and was wearing little better than rags. However, 'Melia could apparently no longer brook farm work's hard labor. Now, she wears jewelry and feathers. 'Melia confirms that this is the uniform of her new profession.

Stanza Three

While on the farm, 'Melia spoke with a heavy accent, which the unnamed farm maid mimics. She herself reveals her own accent when she exclaims that 'Melia's deportment makes her worthy of the posh set. Ironically, in the stanza's last line, 'Melia indicates that she has gained refinement with her loss of conventional dignity.

Stanza Four

'Melia's hands and face are described by the nameless farm maid. While on the 'barton', 'Melia's hands more closely resembled paws, but her tailored gloves now indicate that her hands have grown slim and elegant. They fit as if she had not done any hard labor that would broaden knuckles or distort hand shape. 'Melia confirms that she does no work now that she is ruined.

Stanza Five

The farm maid reveals that 'Melia frequently complained, suffered headaches, and was depressed while working in the farm yard. However, now she seems comfortable. 'Melia again affirms her vivacious temperament in her new occupation.

Stanza Six

Captivated by 'Melia's appearance and comportment--and possibly not understanding the reality of 'Melia's new calling, the farm maid innocently wishes that she, too, could dress as 'Melia does and idly stroll the streets. This time, 'Melia has the stanza's last two lines. While icily separating herself from her former co-worker, whom she calls a "raw country girl", 'Melia manages to reveal her own humble origins by using 'ain't' in her final sentence. Hardy reminds the audience that while she's escaped the farmyard, she has not escaped the fact of her social class, which, at the time, was determined by birth and education.
