暮光之城?暮色 第264期:第十六章 卡萊爾(2)

[00:00:09]The wall we faced now was different from the others. Instead of bookshelves, 現(xiàn)在我們正對著的這面墻和別的墻都不一樣。這面墻上沒有書架， [00:04:18]this wall was crowded with framed pictures of all sizes, some in vibrant colors, others dull monochromes. 卻掛滿了各種尺寸的鑲著相框的照片。有些是模糊生硬的彩色照片，另一些則是黯淡的黑白照片。 [00:10:34]I searched for some logic, some binding motif the collection had in common, but I found nothing in my hasty examination. 我試圖找出某種邏輯，某個(gè)這些收藏品所共有的主題，但在我匆忙的審視中，我沒有任何發(fā)現(xiàn)。 [00:21:16]Edward pulled me toward the far left side, standing me in front of a small square oil painting in a plain wooden frame. 愛德華把我拉到了最左邊，讓我站到了一張裝裱在一個(gè)簡樸的木框里的小小的方形油畫前。 [00:28:29]This one did not stand out among the bigger and brighter pieces; painted in varying tones of sepia, 這幅油畫在眾多尺寸更大，顏色更鮮亮的油畫里并不顯眼，它是用各種色調(diào)的深褐色畫成的。 [00:34:05]it depicted a miniature city full of steeply slanted roofs, with thin spires atop a few scattered towers. 它描繪了一個(gè)微縮的城市，那里到處是陡峭的斜屋頂，散落在各處的幾座高塔露出窄窄的塔尖。 [00:42:27]A wide river filled the foreground, crossed by a bridge covered with structures that looked like tiny cathedrals. 一條寬廣的河流填滿了遠(yuǎn)景，河上橫跨著一座橋梁，橋上布滿了看上去像是小巧的教堂的建筑。 [00:48:24]London in the sixteen-fifties, Edward said. “十七世紀(jì)五十年代的倫敦?！睈鄣氯A說道。 [00:52:20]The London of my youth, Carlisle added, from a few feet behind us. I flinched; I hadn't heard him approach. Edward squeezed my hand. “我年少時(shí)的倫敦。”卡萊爾補(bǔ)充道，他站在離我們只有幾英尺遠(yuǎn)的地方。我畏縮了一下，我根本沒聽到他走近的聲音。愛德華緊握住我的手。 [01:04:17]Will you tell the story? Edward asked. I twisted a little to see Carlisle's reaction. “你愿意講這個(gè)故事嗎?”愛德華問道。我稍微轉(zhuǎn)過頭，想看看卡萊爾的反應(yīng)。 [01:09:18]He met my glance and smiled. I would, he replied. But I'm actually running a bit late. 他對上了我的目光，笑了起來。“我很樂意。”他回答道。 [01:16:30]The hospital called this morning — Dr. Snow is taking a sick day. “但我確實(shí)有點(diǎn)趕時(shí)間。醫(yī)院今天早上給我打了電話——斯諾醫(yī)生請了一天病假。 [01:20:52]Besides, you know the stories as well as I do, he added, grinning at Edward now. 另外，你對這個(gè)故事的熟悉程度不亞于我?！彼a(bǔ)充道，瞥了一眼愛德華。 [01:26:06]It was a strange combination to absorb 這實(shí)在是個(gè)奇怪的難于理解的混合體 [01:30:08]the everyday concerns of the town doctor stuck in the middle of a discussion of his early days in seventeenth-century London. 那位每天關(guān)心著鎮(zhèn)上事務(wù)的醫(yī)生正陷于關(guān)于他早年在十七世紀(jì)的倫敦的經(jīng)歷的討論之中。
