Question

如题所述

Answer 1

　　3.Life in a Violin Case 　　3.情系小提琴 　　In order to tell what I believe, I must briefly sketch something of my personal history. 　　The turning point of my life was my decision to give up a promising business career and study music. My parents, although sympathetic, and sharing my love of music, disapproved of it as a profession. This was understandable in view of the family background. My grandfather had taught music for nearly forty years at Springhill College in Mobile and, though much beloved and respected in the community, earned barely enough to provide for his large family. My father often said it was only the hardheaded thriftiness of my grandmother that kept the wolf at bay. As a consequence of this example in the family, the very mention of music as a profession carried with it a picture of a precarious existence with uncertain financial rewards. My parents insisted upon college instead of a conservatory of music, and to college I went – quite happily, as I remember, for although I loved my violin and spent most of my spare time practicing, I had many other interests. 　　为了阐明我的信仰，我必须简单介绍一下我的经历。 　　我人生的转折点是我决定不做发迹有望的商人而专攻音乐。父母虽然与我志趣相投，也像我一样热爱音乐，却反对我以音乐为职业。考虑到我的家庭情况，他们的态度是完全可以理解的。我祖父在莫比尔的斯普林希尔学院教授音乐达四十年之久，深受学院师生的热爱和敬重，他的工资却只能勉强维持一大家人的生活。父亲常说若不是祖母精明能干，克勤克俭，一家人非挨饿不可。所以在我们家，只要一提起音乐这个职业，大家就联想起收入不稳定的那种苦日子。父母坚持要我上大学，不让我进音乐学院，我也就上了大学。记得当时我还挺开心，因为虽然我热爱小提琴，大部分时间都用来练琴，我还有许多其他的爱好。 　　Before my graduation form Columbia, the family met with severe financial reverses and I felt it my duty to leave college and take a job. Thus was I launched upon a business career – which I always think of as the wasted years. 　　Now I do not for a moment mean to disparage business. My whole point I is that it was not for me. I went into it for money, and aside from the satisfaction of being able to help the family, money is all I got out of it. It was not enough. I felt that life was passing me by. From being merely discontented I became acutely miserable. My one ambition was to save enough to quit and go to Europe to study music. I used to get up at dawn to practice before I left for “downtown”, distracting my poor mother by bolting a hasty breakfast at the last minute. Instead of lunching with my business associates, I would seek out some cheap café, order a meager meal and scribble my harmony exercises. I continued to make money, and finally, bit by bit, accumulated enough to enable me to go abroad. The family being once more solvent, and my help no longer necessary, I resigned from my position and, feeling like a man released from jail, sailed for Europe. I stayed four years, worked harder than I had ever dreamed of working before and enjoyed every minute of it. 　　没等我从哥伦比亚大学毕业，家里的经济情况就变得很糟，我感到自己有责任退学找工作，这才投身商界——我始终认为那段经商岁月是虚掷光阴。 　　我从来无意贬低经商，我的意思是它不适合我。我经商只是为了挣钱，除了能补贴家用给我带来一点满足以外，钱是我经商得到的一切。这是不够的。我感到年华似水从我身边流走。对职业的不满使我痛苦不堪。我唯一的抱负是积攒足够的钱，辞去商务，到欧洲学习音乐。于是，我每天黎明即起，练习小提琴，然后去“商业区”上班。几乎来不及囫囵吞下仓促准备的早餐，弄得我可怜的妈妈惶恐不安。我不与业务合伙人共进午餐，总是找个便宜的餐馆，随便混上一顿，信手写些和声练习曲。我不停地挣钱，终于一分一分攒够了出国的钱。这时，家庭经济情况也好转了，不再需要我的帮助。我辞去商务，感到自己像出狱的犯人一样自由，便乘船去了欧洲，一去就是四年。我学习比从前想象的刻苦得多，但我非常快乐。 　　“Enjoyed” is too mild a word. I walked on air. I really lived. I was a free man and I was doing what I loved to do and what I was meant to do. 　　If I had stayed in business, I might be a comparatively wealthy man today, but I do not believe I would have made a success of living. I would have given up all those intangibles, those inner satisfactions, that money can never buy, and that are too often sacrificed when a man’s primary goal is financial success. 　　When I broke away from business, it was against the advice of practically all my friends and family. So conditioned are most of us to the association of success with money that the thought of giving up a good salary for an idea seemed little short of insane. If so, all I can say is “Gee! It’s great to be crazy.”Money is a wonderful thing, but it is possible to pay too high a price for it. 　　“快乐”一词还不足以表达我的心情，我是乐不可支，飘飘欲仙。我过着真正的生活。我是个自由人，做我爱做的、命中注定要做的事情。 　　假如我一直经商，今天可能会相当富有，但我不认为我的人生会很成功。我可能会放弃一切无形的、金钱绝对买不到的精神上的满足;这种精神上的满足常常因为人的主要生活目的是发财致富而不可企及。 　　我脱离商界之举是与所有亲友的忠告相违的，因为我们大多数人习惯把成功与金钱联系在一起，为理想而放弃高薪似乎是发疯。如果真是如此，我倒要说：“咳，发疯可真好!”金钱是好东西，但可能为了金钱，我们付出的代价太昂贵。

There's nothing particularly special about it - I'm not rich or famous, I'm not exceptionally talented, and I don't do anything particularly fabulous for a living. But I feel somewhat organized, I have a clean room and a car and a job, and most of all what makes it great is the mere fact that I feel happy. 　　今天我坐在自己的房间里，听着音乐，窗外下着雨，我不由得感到自己是多么愉快、生活是多么美妙。尽管我不是什么大富大贵，社会名流，也没有智力超群，或是做什么伟大的事情来营生。但是我感觉一切井井有条，我有一个干净的房间、一辆车以及一份工作。但是最重要的是，我单纯觉得快乐。 　　I know this may not seem like the most interesting story in the world, but when I was twelve, I was deeply suicidal. 　　我知道这看起来不像是什么世间的奇闻异事，但是在我12岁的时候，我非常想自杀。 　　I'm sharing my good mood today because I know there are tons of people out there who struggle with life. 　　今天我和大家分享这种岁月静好的心情，是因为我知道还有很多人都遭受生活的苦楚和折磨。 　　Not even necessarily the outward details of their lives, but the inner demons that exist within their minds. 　　不仅仅有生活中的外在琐事给他们添堵，还有内心的怪兽在作祟。 　　I want you to know - if that's you - that the mere possibility of reaching a place of inner peace is worth it.

They are so foreign and distant to me. For some, it may take even longer, and it may take even more. But I cannot imagine even for a second that the struggle wouldn't be worth it if this is the end result. 　　我可能直到25岁才让知足常乐变成一种情绪上的常态。这中间需要很长的时间，很多的改变，痛苦让你成长。现如今我的情绪变得稳定而长久，回忆起之前的种种好像是发生在别人的身上，对于现在我来说是那么的陌生和遥远。对于有些人来说，获得这种安定的心境要花更长的时间，做更多的改变。但是如果经历了所有折磨还是无法改变什么，结果一点都不值得，关于这个我想都不敢想。 　　That's it. I just wanted to share my positive vibes with everybody. The world can be an amazing place if you let it, and you can be an amazing person. You probably already are.

　　大家一起来跟着我提高英语吧，接下来，我给大家准备了英译中 散文 河之歌,欢迎大家参考与借鉴。 　　英译中散文河之歌 　　W.S Maugham 　　毛姆 　　You hear it all along the river. You hear it, loud and strong, from the rowers as they urge the junk with its high stern, the mast lashed alongside, down the swift running stream. You hear it from the trackers, a more breathless chant, as they pull desperately against the current, half a dozen of them perhaps if they are taking up wupan, a couple of hundred if they are hauling a splendid junk, its square sail set, over a rapid. 　　沿河上下都可以听见那歌声。它响亮而有力，那是船夫，他们划着木船顺流向下，船尾翘得很高，桅杆系在船边。它也可能是比较急促的号子，那是纤夫，他们拉纤逆流而上。如果拉的是小木船，也许就只五六个人;如果拉的是扬着横帆的大船过急滩，那就要200来人。 　　On the junk, a man stands amidships beating a drum incessantly to guide their efforts, and they pull with all their strength, like men possessed, bent double; and sometimes in the extremity of their travail they craw on the ground, on all fours, like the beasts of the field. They strain, strain fiercely, against the pitiless might of the stream. 　　船中央站着一个汉子不停地击鼓助威，引导他们加劲。于是他们使出全部力量，像着了魔似的，腰弯成两折，有时力量用到极限就全身趴在地上匍匐前进，像田里的牲口。 　　The leader goes up and down the line and when he sees one who is not putting all his will into the task he brings down his split bamboo on the naked back. Each one must do his utmost or the labour of all is vain. And still they sing a vehement, eager chant, the chant of the turbulent waters. 　　领头的在纤绳前后跑来跑去，见到有人没有全力以赴，竹板就打在他光着的背上。每个人都必须竭尽全力，否则就要前功尽弃。就这样他们还是唱着激昂而热切的号子，那汹涌澎湃的河水号子。 　　I do not know words can describe what there is in it of effort. It serves to express the straining heart, the breaking muscles, and at the same time the indomitable spirit of man which overcomes the pitiless force of nature. Though the rope may part and the great junk swing back, in the end the rapid will be passed; and at the close of the weary day there is the hearty meal... 　　我不知道词语怎样能描写出其中所包括的拼搏，它表现的是绷紧的心弦，几乎要断裂的筋肉，同时也表现了人类克服无情的自然力的顽强精神。他们使劲，拼命使劲，对抗着水流无情的威力。虽然绳子可能扯断，大船可能倒退，但最终险滩必将通过，在筋疲力尽的一天结束时可以痛快地吃上一顿饱饭….. 　　But the most agonizing song is the song of the coolies who bring the great bales from the junk up the steep steps to the town wall. Up and down they go, endlessly, and endless as their toil rises their rhythmic cry. He, aw --ah, oh. They are barefoot and naked to the waist. The sweat pours down their faces and their song is a groan of pain. 　　然而最令人难受的却是苦力的歌，他们背负着船上卸下的大包，沿着陡坡爬上城墙。他们不停地上上下下，随着无尽的劳动响起有节奏的喊声：嗨，呦——嗬，嗨。他们赤着脚，光着背，汗水不断地从脸上流下。 　　It is a sigh of despair. It is heart-rending. It is hardly human. It is the cry of souls in infinite distress, only just musical, and that last note is the ultimate sob of humanity. Life is too hard, too cruel, and this is the final despairing protest. That is the song of the river. 　　他们的歌是痛苦的呻吟，失望的叹息，听来令人心碎，简直不像是人的声音。它是灵魂在无尽悲戚中的呼喊，只不过有着音乐的节奏而已。那终了的一声简直就是人性泯灭的低泣。生活太艰难、太残酷，这喊声正是最后绝望的抗议。这就是河之歌。 　　扩展：动物幼崽词汇 　　duck(鸭)--duckling 　　eagle(鹰)--eaglet 　　eel(鳗鱼)--elver 　　elephant(大象)--calf 　　elk(驼鹿)--calf 　　ferret(白釉)--kit1 　　fish(鱼)--fry 　　fox(狐狸)--cub / kit 　　frog(青蛙)--tadpole 　　giraffe(长颈鹿)--calf 　　goat(山羊)--kid 　　goose(鹅)--gosling 　　hare(野兔)--leveret 　　hartebeest(狷羚)--calf 　　hawk(隼)--chick / eyas 　　horse(马)--foal / colt / filly 　　kangaroo(袋鼠)--joey 　　leopard(豹)--cub 　　lion(狮子)--cub 　　mink(水貂)--kit 　　owl(猫头鹰)--owlet 　　peafowl(孔雀)--peachick 　　注解：peacock 指雄孔雀，peahen 指雌孔雀 　　pheasant(雉鸡)--chick 　　pig(猪)--piglet/ porkling / gilt2 　　pigeon(鸽子)--squab / squeaker 　　pike(梭子鱼)--pickerel 　　possum(负鼠)--joey 　　rabbit(兔子)--kitten 　　rat(家鼠)--pup 　　rhinoceros(犀牛)--calf 　　roedeer(狍子)--kid 　　salmon(三文鱼)--parr / smolt 　　seal(海豹)--calf / pup 　　sheep(绵羊)--lamb 　　skunk(臭鼬)--kitten 　　spider(蜘蛛)--spiderling 　　swan(天鹅)--cygnet 　　tiger(虎)--cub 　　toad3(癞蛤蟆) --tadpole 　　wallaby(沙袋鼠)--joey 　　walrus(海象)--cub 　　weasel(黄鼠狼)--kit 　　whale(鲸)--calf 　　wolf(狼)--cub / pup / whelp 　　zebra(斑马)--foal
