樓主我盡力了
關於凱瑟琳我知道些什麼呢?
有一次,我指著地圖上的曼斯菲爾德對尼莫說:「這個周末我們可以去那裡。」「那裡有什麼呢?」「我也不知道,我喜歡的一個作家叫這個名字。」尼莫大笑起來。這樣的旅行未免輕率,就像凱瑟琳短暫的一生。
她並不一直都是凱瑟琳,她時而叫做凱西,時而叫做凱蒂,時而又變成了凱、卡嘉、喀秋莎……她不斷變化著自己的名字和角色,唯一不變的是她那生氣勃勃的生活態度。她不斷地鬧戀愛(包括同性戀),結婚第二天她就離家出走,後來又懷上了別人的孩子……想想她還生活在古板的維多利亞時代!她對父親到了深惡痛絕的地步,和母親、姐妹們吵翻了天,然後在筆記本上寫下:該死的家!天哪,他們多麼乏味,我從心底里討厭他們。
凱瑟琳註定要再次離開紐西蘭。「我腳下的土地使我成為這個國家的人」——20歲的她如願以償地再次來到英國,從此沒有再回惠靈頓。
和凱瑟琳真正有關的地方其實並不是曼斯菲爾德,而是倫敦:是西敏斯特大教堂和倫敦塔橋,是每月一次去維多利亞女皇街的新英格蘭銀行領取8鎊6先令8便士的生活費,是在西區比切姆公寓里為自己的客人安排一些收費的娛樂。在她急需掙錢時,她也去貝克街采訪婦女參政的會議;可是顯然凱瑟琳對於女權運動毫無興趣,她有更簡單的方式來表達自己:寫作。沒有人懷疑凱瑟琳的寫作天分,她觀察入微,描寫細膩。在給情人迦納特的信里,凱瑟琳這樣寫道:有一件事是我不能忍受的,那就是平庸——我喜歡時時抓牢生活——因此我強調所謂的小事,因此所有的一切事實上都是富有意義的……
倫敦不是凱瑟琳的終點站,她需要的是旅行、動盪和激情。一戰爆發前,凱瑟琳和她的第二人丈夫——小她兩歲的牛津畢業生默里一起去了巴黎。金錢和肺病困擾著凱,可是這並不妨礙她與男朋友們調情的決心。她的男朋友中也包括勞倫斯,後者寫的《戀愛中的婦女》就是以凱為原型的。不過在凱瑟琳戴著迷人的皮手筒與軍官們談笑風生的時候,也沒忘記帶著用來寫作的筆記本。
巴黎是一次輕率的旅行,後來的康沃爾也是;凱瑟琳之後的生活就是英格蘭度夏地中海過冬的重復。她的身體在衰弱,她的創作力卻不斷旺盛,社交圈子也在增加。因為羅素的關系,凱結識了伍爾芙夫人。對於這兩位女作家的比較不可避免,她們相遇的時候,弗吉尼亞34歲,唯一出版的作品是《遠航》,那是以七年時間、兩次精神崩潰為代價的;凱瑟琳28歲,像十年前那樣生氣勃勃,她嘲笑著自己從前的作品,又滿懷信心地期待《幸福及其它故事》的出版。弗吉尼亞漸漸迷戀上這對來自貧民區的默里夫婦,可是凱瑟琳的忽冷忽熱讓弗吉尼亞常常摸不著頭腦。凱去世的時候,弗吉尼亞在日記里寫道:凱瑟琳的作品是「我唯一感到妒忌的作品」。或許伍爾芙夫人當時並沒有料到自己後來的聲名超過了凱瑟琳,不過她確實很快就感到了沒有對手的孤獨。
關於凱瑟琳我們知道些什麼?
她在惠靈頓出生,在楓丹白露去世。她臨終前的最後的一句話是:「我喜愛雨,我想要感到它們落到臉上的感覺。」她的死因,傳統的說法是肺炎,較新的版本是梅毒。她只活了34歲。
對於生活,我們應當熱情地旁觀或者冷靜地抒情,可是凱瑟琳偏偏不肯聽勸告。

The Thirsty Pigeon口渴的鴿子
A PIGEON, oppressed by excessive thirst, saw a goblet of water painted on a signboard. Not supposing it to be only a picture, she flew towards it with a loud whir and unwittingly dashed against the signboard, jarring herself terribly. Having broken her wings by the blow, she fell to the ground, and was caught by one of the bystanders.
Zeal should not outrun discretion.
有隻鴿子口渴得很難受,看見畫板上畫著一個水瓶,以為是真的。他立刻呼呼地猛飛過 去,不料一頭碰撞在畫板上,折斷了翅膀,摔在地上,被人輕易地捉住了。
這是說,有些人想急於得到所需的東西,一時沖動,草率從事,就會身遭不幸。
The Raven and the Swan烏鴉和天鵝
A RAVEN saw a Swan and desired to secure for himself the same beautiful plumage. Supposing that the Swan's splendid white color arose from his washing in the water in which he swam, the Raven left the altars in the neighborhood where he picked up his living, and took up residence in the lakes and pools. But cleansing his feathers as often as he would, he could not change their color, while through want of food he perished.
Change of habit cannot alter Nature.
烏鴉非常羨慕天鵝潔白的羽毛。他猜想天鵝一定是經常洗澡,羽毛才變得如此潔白無 瑕。於是,他毅然離開了他賴以生存的祭壇,來到江湖邊。他天天洗刷自己的羽毛,不但一 點都沒洗白,反而因缺少食物飢餓而死。
這故事是說,人的本性不會隨著生活方式的改變而改變。
The Goat and the Goatherd 山羊與牧羊人
A GOATHERD had sought to bring back a stray goat to his flock. He whistled and sounded his horn in vain; the straggler paid no attention to the summons. At last the Goatherd threw a stone, and breaking its horn, begged the Goat not to tell his master. The Goat replied, "Why, you silly fellow, the horn will speak though I be silent."
Do not attempt to hide things which cannot be hid.
很多山羊被牧羊人趕到羊圈裡。有一隻山羊不知在吃什麼好東西,單獨落在後面。牧羊 人拿起一塊石頭扔了過去,正巧打斷了山羊的一隻角。牧羊人嚇得請求山羊不要告訴主人, 山羊說:「即使我不說,又怎能隱瞞下去呢?我的角已斷了,這是十分明顯的事實。」
這故事說明,明顯的罪狀是無法隱瞞的。
The Miser守財奴
A MISER sold all that he had and bought a lump of gold, which he buried in a hole in the ground by the side of an old wall and went to look at daily. One of his workmen observed his frequent visits to the spot and decided to watch his movements. He soon discovered the secret of the hidden treasure, and digging down, came to the lump of gold, and stole it. The Miser, on his next visit, found the hole empty and began to tear his hair and to make loud lamentations. A neighbor, seeing him overcome with grief and learning the cause, said, "Pray do not grieve so; but go and take a stone, and place it in the hole, and fancy that the gold is still lying there. It will do you quite the same service; for when the gold was there, you had it not, as you did not make the slightest use of it."
有個守財奴變賣了他所有的家產,換回了金塊,並秘密地埋在一個地方。他每天走去看 看他的寶藏。有個在附近放羊的牧人留心觀察,知道了真情,趁他走後,挖出金塊拿走了。 守財奴再來時,發現洞中的金塊沒有了,便捶胸痛哭。有個人見他如此悲痛,問明原因後, 說道:「喂,朋友,別再難過了,那塊金子雖是你買來的,但並不是你真正擁有的。去拿一 塊石頭來,代替金塊放在洞里,只要你心裡想著那是塊金子,你就會很高興。這樣與你擁有 真正的金塊效果沒什麼不同。依我之見,你擁有那金塊時,也從沒用過。」
這故事說明,一切財物如不使用等於沒有。
The Wolf and the Lamb 狼與小羊
WOLF, meeting with a Lamb astray from the fold, resolved not to lay violent hands on him, but to find some plea to justify to the Lamb the Wolf's right to eat him. He thus addressed him:"Sirrah, last year you grossly insulted me." "Indeed," bleated the Lamb in a mournful tone of voice, "I was not then born." Then said the Wolf , "You feed in my pasture." "No, good sir," replied the Lamb, "I have not yet tasted grass." Again said the Wolf, "You drink of my well." "No," exclaimed the Lamb, "I never yet drank water, for as yet my mother's milk is both food and drink to me." Upon which the Wolf seized him and ate him up, saying, "Well! I won't remain supperless, even though you refute every one of my imputations."
The tyrant will always find a pretext for his tyranny.
一隻小羊在河邊喝水,狼見到後,便想找一個名正言順的借口吃掉他。於是他跑到上游,惡狠狠地說小羊把河水攪渾濁了,使他喝不到清水。小羊回答說,他僅僅站在河邊喝水,並且又在下游,根本不可能把上游的水攪渾。狼見此計不成,又說道:「我父親去年被你罵過。」小羊說,那時他還沒有出生。狼對他說:「不管你怎樣辯解,反正我不會放過 你。」
這說明,對惡人做任何正當的辯解也是無效的。
The Bat and the Weasels蝙蝠與黃鼠狼
A BAT who fell upon the ground and was caught by a Weasel pleaded to be spared his life. The Weasel refused, saying that he was by nature the enemy of all birds. The Bat assured him that he was not a bird, but a mouse, and thus was set free. Shortly afterwards the Bat again fell to the ground and was caught by another Weasel, whom he likewise entreated not to eat him. The Weasel said that he had a special hostility to mice. The Bat assured him that he was not a mouse, but a bat, and thus a second time escaped.
It is wise to turn circumstances to good account.
蝙蝠掉落在地上,被黃鼠狼叼去,他請求饒命。黃鼠狼說絕不會放過他,自己生來痛恨鳥類。蝙蝠說他是老鼠,不是鳥,便被放了。後來蝙蝠又掉落了下來,被另一隻黃鼠狼叼住,他再三請求不要吃他。這只黃鼠狼說他恨一切鼠類。蝙蝠改口說自己是鳥類,並非老 鼠,又被放了。這樣,蝙蝠兩次改變了自己的名字,終於死裡逃生。
這故事說明,我們遇事要隨機應變方能避免危險。
The Ass and the Grasshopper 驢子與蚱蜢
AN ASS having heard some Grasshoppers chirping, was highly enchanted; and, desiring to possess the same charms of melody, demanded what sort of food they lived on to give them such beautiful voices. They replied, "The dew." The Ass resolved that he would live only upon dew, and in a short time died of hunger.
驢子聽見蚱蜢唱歌,被美妙動聽的歌聲所打動,自己也想能發出同樣悅耳動聽的聲音,便 羨慕地問他們吃些什麼,才能發出如此美妙的聲音來。蚱蜢答道:「吃露水。」驢子便也只吃露水,沒多久就餓死了。
這個故事告訴人們不要企望非份之物。
The Lion and the Mouse 獅子與報恩的老鼠
A LION was awakened from sleep by a Mouse running over his face. Rising up angrily, he caught him and was about to kill him, when the Mouse piteously entreated, saying: "If you would only spare my life, I would be sure to repay your kindness." The Lion laughed and let him go. It happened shortly after this that the Lion was caught by some hunters, who bound him by strong ropes to the ground. The Mouse, recognizing his roar, came and gnawed the rope with his teeth and set him free, exclaiming:
"You ridiculed the idea of my ever being able to help you, expecting to receive from me any repayment of your favor; now you know that it is possible for even a Mouse to con benefits on a Lion."
獅子睡著了,有隻老鼠跳到了他身上。獅子猛然站起來,把他抓住,准備吃掉。老鼠請求饒命,並說如果保住性命,必將報恩,獅子輕蔑地笑了笑,便把他放走了。不久,獅子真的被老鼠救了性命。原來獅子被一個獵人抓獲,並用繩索把他捆在一棵樹上。老鼠聽到了他 的哀嚎,走過去咬斷繩索,放走了獅子,並說:
「你當時嘲笑我,不相信能得到我的報答, 現在可清楚了,老鼠也能報恩。」 這故事說明,時運交替變更,強者也會有需要弱者的時候。

『柒』 莫泊桑短篇小說 哪個譯本最好
《莫來泊桑短篇小說》眾多譯自本中,人民文學出版社出版的趙少候譯本比較好。 原因:趙少候翻譯的文風非常准確,言簡意賅,又不凡風趣。字里行間表達的文辭讓讀者讀起來很舒服。
莫泊桑,全名居伊·德·莫泊桑(1850年8月5日—1893年7月6日),十九世紀後半葉法國優秀的批判現實主義作家,與契訶夫和歐·亨利並稱為「世界三大短篇小說家」。
在世界文壇上,莫泊桑創作的卓越超群的短篇小說,具有某種典範的意義。俄國文學巨匠屠格涅夫認為他是19世紀末法國文壇上「最卓越的天才」,左拉曾預言他的作品將被「未來世紀的小學生們當作無懈可擊的完美的典範口口相傳」,法朗士稱譽他為「短篇小說之王」。本書精選了描繪普法戰爭眾生相、可悲可憐的公務員群相、五彩斑斕的諾曼底風土人情等莫泊桑短篇小說中比較有代表性的篇目。
『捌』 有哪些值得翻譯的英文短篇小說 在中國還未翻譯的
《復欣然同意》(Agreeable)是美國作家喬制納森·弗蘭岑的一篇短篇小說。喬納森·弗蘭岑是近兩年在美國文壇受人矚目的一個作家,早在1988年他就獲得「懷丁作家獎」,在2010年他的寫作到達一種頂峰狀態,登上《時代》周刊的封面,被譽為「偉大的美國作家」。在翻譯《欣然同意》的過程中,譯者最大的感受是小說翻譯作為文學翻譯的一種,有其獨特的特點,同時譯者在英譯漢這個跨文化交流的活動中面對文學翻譯的語言、藝術審美及其具有的社會文化功能方面的基本問題,在翻譯過程中不僅要做到譯意,還要譯「情」、譯「味」、譯「韻」。①將美學理念與審美思維有機結合起來,並將之運用到文學翻譯實踐當中去,從而最大限度地使譯入語文本接近源語文本,極力提高兩者的相似性,是文學翻譯者所應追求的目標之一。筆者將從短篇小說翻策略的角度入手,闡述英文小說翻譯的一些技巧。
