I thought that it was a Sunday morning in May;that it was Easter Sunday,and as yet very early in the morning.I was standing,as it seemed to me,at the door of my own cottage.Right before me lay the very scene which could really be commanded from that situation,but exalted, as was usual,and solemnized by the power of dreams. There were the same mountains,and the same lovely valley at their feet; but the mountains were raised to more than Alpine height,and there was interspaced far larger between them of savannahs and forest lawns;the hedges were rich with white roses;and no living creature was to be seen, excepting that in the green churchyard there were cattle tranquilly reposing upon the verdant graves,and particularly round about the grave of a child whom I had once tenderly loved,just as I had really seen them,a little before sunrise,in the same summer when that child died.
我想那是五月的一個周日的早晨;那天是復活節(jié),一個大清早上。我站在自家小屋的門口。就在我的面前展現(xiàn)出了那么一番景色,從我那個位置其實能夠盡收眼底,可是夢里的感覺往往如此,由于夢幻的力量,這番景象顯得超凡出塵,一派肅穆氣象。群山形狀相同,其山腳下都有著同樣可愛的山谷;不過群山挺然參天,高于阿爾卑斯峰,諸山相距空曠,豐草如茵,林地開闊,錯落其間; 樹籬上的白玫瑰娟娟彌望;遠近看不見任何生物,唯有蒼翠的教堂庭院里,牛群靜靜地臥躺在那片郁郁蔥蔥的墓地歇息,好幾頭圍繞著一個小孩的墳墓。我曾對她一腔柔情,那年夏天是在旭日東升的前一刻,那孩子死去了,我如同當年那樣望著牛群。
2.漢譯英
朋友之間,情趣相投、脾氣對味則合、則交,反之,則離、則絕。朋友之間再熟悉、再親密,也不能隨便過頭、不恭不敬,這樣,默契和平衡將被打破,友好關(guān)系將不復存在。
每個人都希望擁有自己的一片私密空間,朋友之間過于隨便,就容易侵入這片禁區(qū),從而引起沖突,造成隔閡。待友不敬,有時或許只是一件小事,卻可能已埋下了破壞性的種子。維持朋友親密關(guān)系的最好辦法是往來有節(jié),互不干涉.
For the relationship between friends, similar habits and tempers help to make it closer; on the other hand, opposite ones leave distance from each other. No matter how familiar and intimate the friends are, the relationship should be treated carefully and respect should be treasured for friends. Otherwise, the partnership and balance would be broken, as a result, a good relationship would no longer exist.
Everyone has a desire for his own personal space, which could be easily invaded if the attitude between friends is too free. Then conflicts appear, causing barriers. Although it seems a small case of not respecting friends, harmful seeds may be sowed to ruin the relationship. In a word, the best way to keep positive friendship is associating with temperate manners and without too much interference.
