1、中英对照英国散文欣赏(一)(编者注:以下中英对照英国散文选段摘自杨自伍编的《英国散文名篇欣赏》,其中有些译文编者根据自己所好重新作了翻译,目的一是让年轻人知道有这么本好书,也许他们会自己找来阅读;二是让成天钻在英语考题中的初三至高三的同学们了解到:英语中原来还有这么美好的东西,远比他们的练习题和考卷有趣。文章后面摘录的英语单词,只须按一下电子辞典就明白了。)1.Iwentoutintheafternoon.Itwastooearlyintheyearforaheavyfallofleaves,butneverthel

3、heground,revealingthepolishedbrownoftheshyfruit.(nevertheless,gorgeous,harmony,weird,reveal,polish)这天下午我信步出门。还不到一年中落叶纷飞的季节,花园却已被枯叶覆盖。它们被雨水冲到路边,堆积在阴沟格栅上,红色的,褐色的,黄色的,一堆堆,一丛丛,既绚丽多彩,又和谐悦目。橡实雨点般纷纷坠下,嗒嗒地拍打在鹅卵石上,给人一种神秘感。栗子的外壳在撞击在地面上时完全绽裂开来,露出油光光羞答答的褐色果肉。2.Iwentalittle

6、iny.(fromWilliamWhite’s“AnAfternoonWalkinOctober”)(undulate,pursue,impatient,loiter,dimly,destiny)我继续朝山上走了一段路:只见一群绵羊,大约五十多头,正从路边一块田野穿过大路,走向正对面的另一块田野。它们紧紧地挤在一起,背部构成一片绵延起伏的平面。牧羊人去追赶一头离群的羊,羊群一时停在了大路中间。一个农夫这时架着一辆双轮马车走过来,被挡住了去路。他不耐烦地使用了粗暴的语言。啊,农夫!对于万能的上帝,哪件事情更加重要呢——
7、你不应该被挡住去路,还是羊群应该以它们自己的速度慢悠悠地走向对面那块田野?顺便说一句,羊群里的每一头羊,都是满脸的悲哀神色。也许,它们已经隐隐约约知道自己的命运。(摘自威廉.怀特的“十月的下午散步”)3.OnehastheleisureofJulyforperceivingallthedifferencesofthegreenofleaves.Itisnolongeradifferenceindegreesofmaturity,forallthetreeshavedarkenedtotheirfinaltone,an
