求英语大神。、

The title of the piece refers to Saint Catherine, who died on a wheel in 307 A.D. Nowadays, a Catherine wheel is also a kind of firework.
整句话怎么翻译。。on a wheel 怎么翻译 谢谢

Answer 1

这句子里的wheel指的是breaking wheel， 又称catherine wheel，是中世纪的一种酷刑，可以缓慢而痛苦地置人于死地，并将人粉身碎骨。
这句话翻译如下：这幅作品的名称指的是圣人凯瑟琳，她于公元307年死于酷刑碎肉轮上。如今，凯瑟琳之轮也是一种烟花的名字。

Answer 2

When you are old and gray and full of sleep
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;

How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true;
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face;

And bending down beside the glowing bars
Murmur, a little sadly, how love fled
And paced upon the mountains overhead,
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.

当你老了，头白了，睡思昏沉，
炉火边打盹，请取下这部诗歌，
慢慢读，回想你过去眼神的柔和，
回想它们过去浓重的阴影；
多少人爱你年轻欢畅的时候，
爱慕你的美貌，出于假意或者真心
只有一个人爱你那朝圣者的灵魂，
爱你已改的容颜痛苦的皱纹；

躬身在红光闪耀的炉火旁，
凄然低语，爱为何消逝，
它漫步走上高高山峦， 　
将脸庞隐没在了群星间。
