40、y, I watched out the window as long as I could, looking back at the little gihugging her new doll.天上下着毛毛细雨，我和姐姐吉尔跑出卫理公会教堂，满心只想 着快点回到家玩圣诞老人给我们和小妹妹莎伦预备的礼物玩具。教堂 的对面是泛美油站，灰狗长途汽车会在那里中途停站。由于是圣诞节, 那天油站没开，不过我觉察在紧锁的站门外站着一家人，他们挤在狭 小的檐篷下，想尽量不被雨淋湿。我闪过一个疑问，他们为什么站在 那里呢?但在我赶上吉尔的时候也就把这个疑团抛诸脑后了。回到家后其实根本没时间让我们尽情把玩礼物，

41、由于我们立刻又 得去爷爷奶奶家共进一年一度的圣诞大餐。在开车经过刚才那条大路 时，我看到那一家人仍旧站在紧闭的油站门外。在那主干道上爸爸的车开得很慢。越接近去爷爷奶奶家的分岔路 口，车子就越慢。突然，爸爸在半路中途来了个180度转弯，把车子 原路驶回，他说：我实在不忍心！什么?妈妈问他。那几个在雨中站在泛美油站外的人。他们还带着小孩呢。圣诞节 当前，我真的不忍心啊。爸爸把车开到油站旁停下，我观察那一家总共有5个人：父母俩 和三个孩子-两个女孩跟一个小男孩。爸爸摇下车窗对他们说：圣诞欢乐！你好，那个男人回了一句。他长得很高，要略微弯下腰来往我们 车里瞧。我和吉尔、莎伦盯着那几个小孩，他们也瞪眼看

42、着我们。你们在等汽车吗?爸爸问他们。男人回答说是，他们预备去伯明翰，他有个哥哥在那边，而且期 望能谋到一份工作。汽车起码要好几个小时后才到这里，站在这儿等车你们都会淋湿 的。往前几英里就是温邦站，那儿有个棚屋，有地方避雨，还有些凳 子。不如上车我送你们到那里吧。男人想了一下然后示意他家人过来。他们钻进车里，除了身上穿 着的衣服，他们没有任何行李。等他们坐好了，爸爸转过头来问那几个孩子，圣诞老人找到他们 没有。三张愁闷的脸无声地回答了他。我看不是吧，爸爸边说边向妈妈刺眼示意，早上我遇到圣诞老人 了，他说找不到你们，想把给你们的礼物临时放到我们家里来。现在 咱们就去拿礼物吧，待会儿我再送你们去车站

43、。三个孩子的脸立刻阴霾尽散，还在后排座位蹦蹦跳跳，笑笑嚷嚷起来。到了我家一下车，那三个孩子穿过大门就直奔摆在圣诞树下的礼 物。其中一个小女孩觉察了吉尔的洋娃娃礼物，立刻把它抱入怀中。 我记得那小男孩抓走了莎伦的小球，而另外一个女孩就挑走了一件我 的东西。这些都是很久很久以前的事了，然而回忆起来还是那么清楚, 由于在那个圣诞日我和我的姐妹领悟到了让别人欢乐而获得的愉悦。妈妈看到他们家老二穿着的裙子是短袖的，便把吉尔仅有的毛衣 给了她穿。爸爸邀请他们一起去爷爷奶奶家吃圣诞大餐，但他们两夫妇拒绝 了。就算怎么游说，他们还是坚拒了我们的好意。回到车里在去温邦的路上爸爸问那男人有没有钱买车票。他说哥哥寄

44、了车票来。爸爸从口袋里掏出仅有的两美元，原来是我们要熬到下次发工资 的，他却把这钱塞到了男人的手里。男人想把钱推回来，但爸爸硬要 他收下。等你们到伯明翰就已经很晚了，路上孩子们会饿的。收下吧， 我以前也曾一贫如洗，让家人挨饿的味道不好受，我知道的。把他们送到温邦的车站后，我们就开车离开了。我从车窗回望良 久，凝视着那小女孩拥着她的新洋娃娃。英语散文篇二海上日出Sunrise at Sea巴金6Ba Jin为了看日出，我经常早起。那时天还没有大亮，四周特别清静, 船上只有机器的响声。I would often get up early to watch the sunrise when it w

45、as not yet quite light and all was quiet except for the droning of the ship engine.要点：本段重点在于合译，译者增用了 when, and, except for几个连接 词，把汉语表达的意思串联了起来，表达的规律之美由此而生。天空还是一片浅蓝，颜色很浅。转瞬间天涯消失了一道红霞，渐 渐地在扩大它的范围，加强它的亮光。我知道太阳要从天涯升起来了， 便不转瞬地望着那里。The sky was pale with a bluish hue. Soon a streak of pink dawn broke over

46、the horizon, expanding gradually and becoming brighter and brighter. Knowing that the sun was about to rise, I had my eyes fixed on the distant edge of the sea.要点：1, 还没有大亮=be not quite light,在看月中，有个没有断 黑=is not yet quite dark, 大亮断黑都是程度副词+形容词的结构， 通常用quiet+adj结构2, 机器的响声译为the droning of the ship engine

47、.。机器这里 指轮船上的steam engine,即蒸汽发动机,不宜译为macine.另外响声 译为droning,表示机器的单调消沉的嗡嗡响声，较单纯的sound更有 形象感3, 浅蓝二bluish,意为带点蓝的，浅蓝色的”,-ish这个后缀 表示带性质的，稍的，在离别和杜鹃中，我们也见到 过此类构词法，这类表示颜色的词大家要留意，由于文学作品中出于 细节刻画的需要，会将颜色描写得非常详细，翻译时也要注意选词的 精确和美感哦4, 天涯是指海天交接之处，即地平线，译为the horizon,之 后的那里”文中处理为the distant edge of the sea,避开了重复5,“一道红霞

48、也可译为 a streak of rosy dawn 或 a rosy streak of dawn综述：果真过了一会儿，在那个地方消失了太阳的小半边脸，红是真红， 却没有亮光。这个太阳似乎负着重荷似的一步一步、渐渐地努力上升， 到了最终，最终冲破了云霞，完全跳出了海面，颜色红得特别可爱。 一刹那间，这个深红的圆东西，突然发出了夺目的亮光，射得人眼睛 发痛，它旁边的云片也突然有了光荣。As expected, the sun soon appeared revealing half of its face, which was very red but not bright. It kept rising laboriously bit by bit as if weighted down with a heavy burden on its back until, after breaking through the rosy clouds ;it completel
