In those vast blocks of unquarried rock what various forms are lying concealed!
在那巨大的未开采的岩石块中，隐藏着多少不同的形状！
What shapes of statuary or architecture are there!
那里有多少雕像（statuary）或建筑的形状！
Yet they have no history.
然而，它们没有历史。
They can have none.
它们不可能有。
They are but parts of a hideous block, in which not one line or curve of beauty is visible.

Again he lifts up his tool, and it begins to assume a form; till, as stroke after stroke falls on it, and touch after touch smooths and shapes it, the perfect image of the human form is seen, and it seems as if the hand of the artist had only been employed in unwrapping the stony folds from that fair form, and awakening it from the slumber of its marble tomb.
祂再次举起祂的工具，它开始形成一个形状；直到一凿又一凿落在它上面，一次又一次的触碰使它光滑并成形，人类形体的完美形象被看到了，这似乎是艺术家的手只是被用来将那美丽的形体从石质的包裹中解开，并唤醒它脱离大理石坟墓的沉睡。
From the moment that the chisel touched that piece of rock its history began.
从凿子触碰到那块岩石的那一刻起，它的历史就开始了。

His true dignity now commences.
祂真正的尊严现在开始了。
He is fit to take a place in history.
