2.There was a keen alarm when the cry came, a wire zinging through your whole body, a fanatic feeling of devotion.當(dāng)他喊我的名字時(shí)，我會(huì)緊張萬(wàn)分，全身蹭地就像過(guò)了電似的，一種狂熱的忠誠(chéng)感油然而生。3.One morning, of course, the job was all finished, the well capped, the pump reinstated, the fresh water marvelled at.一天早上，工作全部完成，這是意料中的事。井口上了蓋子，水泵重新安裝好了，大家對(duì)清澈的井水贊嘆不已。

4.In my kitchen or in hers, once a week or so, distracted by our children and sometimes reeling for lack of sleep, we stoked ourselves on strong coffee and cigarettes and launched out a rampage of talk--about our marriages, our fights, our personal deficiencies, our interesting and discreditable motives, our forgone ambitions.我們大約每周都要在我的廚房或她的廚房聚會(huì)一次。孩子們總是不斷打擾我們有時(shí)我們還會(huì)因?yàn)槿庇X而感到頭暈?zāi)垦?，于是我們就用大量的濃咖啡和香煙給自己提神，開始天南海北的聊大天，所談的話題無(wú)所不包：我們的婚姻，奮斗，個(gè)人的不足，既有趣又有些丟臉的動(dòng)機(jī)，以及我們?cè)羞^(guò)的理想抱負(fù)。

5.Sunny had given him fresh sheets rather than unmaking and making up again the bed he had left for me.蘇妮給了他干凈的床單，免得在他留給我的床上重新疊被，鋪床。

7.The bushes right at the edge of the grass looked impenetrable, but close up there were little openings, the narrow paths that animals or people looking for golf balls had made.挨著草地邊上的灌木叢看上去似乎無(wú)法穿過(guò)，但走近了可以看到一些小缺口和窄窄的小徑，這是給動(dòng)物或者找高爾夫球的人們踩出來(lái)的。

8.It looked as if a large portion of the sky had detached itself and was bearing down, bustling and resolute, taking a not quite recognizable but animate shape.看上去，天空的一大部分似乎脫離了主體，喧鬧著、果斷地壓向地面，那形狀雖然說(shuō)不出具體像什么，但像是一種活物的樣子。

9.This was more of a ritual, a recognition of survival rather than of our bodies' inclinations.我們擁抱并不是出魚身體的渴望，而是慶祝劫后余生的一種表示。

Lesson 5 1.The American experience was unique in a number of ways.美國(guó)的經(jīng)驗(yàn)在許多方面都是獨(dú)特的。

2.The country was blessed by notable advantages—above all, by the the fact that population was scare in relation to available resources.這個(gè)國(guó)家有著得天獨(dú)厚的優(yōu)勢(shì)-主要是人口相對(duì)稀少而資源十分豐富。

3.It arose originally from a philosophical rather than an economic commitment...它源于對(duì)思想原則的信仰，而不是出于對(duì)經(jīng)濟(jì)利益的追求…

5.We have found no better way than democracy to fulfill man's talents and release his energies...在意識(shí)形態(tài)體系與經(jīng)驗(yàn)主義斗爭(zhēng)的歷史上，意識(shí)形態(tài)體系曾吸引了人類歷史上一些聰明絕頂?shù)娜宋铩?6.In its finest hours, the US has, so to speak, risen above ideology.在她處于最佳時(shí)期時(shí).美國(guó)可以說(shuō)超越了所有的意識(shí)形態(tài)體系。7....hat government was best which governed least...…政府管得越少越好….8.Indeed, the whole ideological enterprise contradicted Jefferson’s temper, which was basically flexible and experimental.說(shuō)實(shí)在的，杰斐遜一生在意識(shí)形態(tài)體系上所做的努力與他的性格是矛盾的。他的性格特征基本上是靈活的、從經(jīng)驗(yàn)出發(fā)的。

9.Indeed, I would suggest that we might well banish some overloaded words from intellectual discourse...(These words)are sources of heat, not of light.我甚至建議在思想界和學(xué)術(shù)界討論中摒棄某些用濫了的詞語(yǔ)?！?這些詞語(yǔ)只能是頭腦發(fā)熱，而不會(huì)給人以智慧的光芒。

2.We had been having an unseasonable spell of weather-hot, close days, with the fog shutting in every night, scaling for a few hours in midday, then creeping back again at dark, drifting in first over the trees on the point, then suddenly blowing across the fields, blotting out the world and taking possession of houses, men, and animals.我們正經(jīng)歷一段非常反常的天氣，悶熱且霧氣沉沉。濃霧每晚籠罩著村莊。中午的幾個(gè)小時(shí)霧會(huì)漸漸散去，但傍晚時(shí)又悄悄地潛回，先是覆蓋樹梢，接著一下子飄過(guò)田地，擋住了外面的世界，將整個(gè)村莊的房屋、人和動(dòng)物都裹在其中。

3.With very small, timid pigs, weanlings, this ruse is often quite successful and will encourage them

to eat;but with a large, sick pig the ruse is senseless and the sound I made must have made him feel, if anything, more miserable.對(duì)于羞澀的、剛斷奶的小豬，這一招常常很有效，能誘使他們吃東西；但對(duì)于一頭生病的大豬，這個(gè)做法卻絲毫沒有意義，我發(fā)出的聲音肯定只會(huì)讓他覺得更難受。

4.From the lustiness of a healthy pig a man derives a feeling of personal lustiness;the stuff that goes into the trough and is received with such enthusiasm is an earnest of some later feast of his own, and when this suddenly comes to an end and the food lies stale and untouched, souring in the sun, the pig's imbalance becomes the man's, vicariously, and life seems insecure, displaced, transitory.看到一頭健康的豬精力充沛，人們常常感到自己也是精力充沛?？吹剿峭袒⒀实爻缘羰巢壑械氖澄铮藗兙拖袷穷A(yù)訂了今后的大餐。而當(dāng)這一切突然結(jié)束，槽中的食物絲毫未動(dòng)，任其在陽(yáng)光下發(fā)餿時(shí)，豬的不適也就讓人覺得自己也不舒服，生活變得失去了安全感、失去了平衡、變得轉(zhuǎn)瞬即逝。

5.The pig's lot and mine were inextricably bound now, as though the rubber tube were the silver cord.From then until the time of his death I held the pig steadily in the bowl of my mind;the task of trying to deliver him from his misery became a strong obsession.His suffering soon became the embodiment of all earthly wretchedness.現(xiàn)在這頭豬的命運(yùn)和我的命運(yùn)緊緊地聯(lián)系在一起，似乎沖洗直腸的橡皮管就是連接我們情感的紐帶。從他生病到死去，我無(wú)時(shí)無(wú)刻不想著他。如何想辦法使他脫離苦海成了我心里想的唯一的事情。他的苦難很快就變成世間所有悲慘經(jīng)歷的寫照。，6.The awakening had been violent and I minded it all the more because I knew that what could be true of my pig could be true also of the rest of my tidy world.1 tried to put this distasteful idea from me, but it kept recurring.這種醒悟來(lái)得太過(guò)突然，使我深感不安，因?yàn)槲抑朗朗码y料，在豬身上發(fā)生的事情同樣也有可能在我身邊其他看似平靜之處發(fā)生。我想忘記這個(gè)令人不快的想法，但他總是不停地出現(xiàn)。

7.all of us working in darkness and in comfort, working with the instinctive teamwork induced by emergency conditions, the pig unprotesting, the house shadowy, protecting, intimate.我們大家憑著緊急情況下產(chǎn)生的本能的合作精神，在黑暗中默契地配合。豬并沒有反抗，屋子籠罩在黑暗中，給人一種安全感和親切感。

8.Everything about this last scene seemed overwritten-the dismal sky, the shabby woods, the imminence of rain, the worm(legendary bedfellow of the dead), the apple(conventional garnish of a pig).關(guān)于這最后一畝的描寫顯得有點(diǎn)冗長(zhǎng)—陰沉的天空、雜亂的樹叢、即將來(lái)臨的降雨，以及傳說(shuō)中與尸體作伴的蚯蚓和烤豬時(shí)常用作點(diǎn)綴的蘋果。

Lesson 7 1.We observe today not a victory of party but a celebration of freedom—symbolizing an end as well as beginning—signifying renewal as well as change.我們今天慶祝的不是黨派的勝利, 而是自由的選擇—象征著一個(gè)時(shí)代的結(jié)束和另一個(gè)時(shí)代的開始—意味著延續(xù)與變化。

2.United, there is little we can’t do in a host of cooperative ventures.Divided, there is little we can do—for we dare not meet a powerful challenge at odds and split asunder.如果我們團(tuán)結(jié)一致，我們?cè)谝幌盗泄餐瑥氖碌氖聵I(yè)中就可以無(wú)往而不勝。如果我們四分五裂，我們就會(huì)一事無(wú)成—因?yàn)樵谝庖姺制?，四分五裂的情況下，我們不敢迎接強(qiáng)有力的挑戰(zhàn)。3.…one form of colonial control shall not have passed away merely to be replaced by a far more iron tyranny.….一種殖民控制形式的消失，不應(yīng)為另一種更為殘酷的暴政所取代。

4.… and to remember that, in the past, those who foolishly sought power by riding the back of the tiger and ended up inside.….要記住，在過(guò)去，那些愚蠢地想靠與虎謀皮而得勢(shì)的最終都為虎所食。

5.…we renew our pledge of support—to prevent it from becoming merely a forum for invective—to strength its shield of the new and the weak—and to enlarge the area in which its writ may run.…

我們重申我們的支持—不讓其變成一個(gè)相互指責(zé)的論壇—加強(qiáng)其對(duì)新生國(guó)家和弱小國(guó)家的保護(hù)—擴(kuò)大其主導(dǎo)作用的領(lǐng)域。

6.For only when our arms are sufficient beyond doubt can we be certain beyond doubt that they will never be employed.只有當(dāng)我們的軍力強(qiáng)大無(wú)比時(shí)，我們才有把握永不使用武力。7.Let us never negotiate out of fear.But let us never fear to negotiate.我們永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)由于恐懼而去談判，但我們永不畏懼談判。

8.And if a beached of cooperation may push back the jungles of suspicion…

如果小小的一點(diǎn)合作能驅(qū)散深深的猜疑…

9.In your hands, my fellow citizens, more than mine, will rest the final success or failure of our course.同胞們，我們事業(yè)最終的失敗不是掌握在我手中，而是掌握在你們手中。

10.Ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country.不要問(wèn)你的國(guó)家能為你做什么，要自問(wèn)你能為你的國(guó)家作何貢獻(xiàn)。

Lesson 8 1.When Miss Emily Grierson died, our whole town went to her funeral: the men through a sort of respectful affection for a fallen monument, the women mostly out of curiosity to see the inside of her house, which no one save an old manservant – a combined gardener and cook – had seen in at least ten years.艾米麗·格里爾森小姐過(guò)世了，我們?nèi)?zhèn)人都去參加她的葬禮。男人們?nèi)ナ浅鲇谝环N尊敬，因?yàn)橐蛔o(jì)念碑倒下了；女人們則大多是出于好奇，想看看她房子里面到底是什么樣的。因?yàn)槌艘晃患嫒位ń澈蛷N師的老男仆之外，至少有十年沒人進(jìn)去看過(guò)了。

2.And now Miss Emily had gone to join the representatives of those august names where they lay in the cedar-bemused cemetery among the ranked and anonymous graves of Union and confederate soldiers who fell at the battle of Jefferson.現(xiàn)在艾米麗小姐也加入到那些名門望族代表的行列之中了。他們?cè)诹钊顺了嫉难┧傻呐惆橄麻L(zhǎng)眠于公墓，他們的墓碑周圍埋葬著一排排南北戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)中在杰斐遜戰(zhàn)場(chǎng)上陣亡的南軍和北軍的

無(wú)名戰(zhàn)士。

3.Alive, Miss Emily had been a tradition, a duty, and a care;a sort of hereditary obligation upon the town.艾米麗小姐在世時(shí)，一直是傳統(tǒng)的化身，履行職責(zé)和給予關(guān)照的對(duì)象，這是全鎮(zhèn)人沿襲下來(lái)的一種義務(wù)。

4.They were admitted by the old Negro into a dim hall from which a stairway mounted into still more shadow.老黑鬼把他們引進(jìn)光線黯淡的門廳，廳里的樓梯通向更加陰暗的樓上。

5.And when they sat down, a faint dust rose sluggishly about their thighs, spinning with slow motes in the single sunray.當(dāng)他們坐下時(shí)，一股細(xì)細(xì)的灰塵在他們大腿周圍慢慢揚(yáng)起，塵粒在孤獨(dú)的太陽(yáng)光束中緩緩地旋轉(zhuǎn)著。

6.Her skeleton was small and spare;perhaps that was why what would have been merely plumpness in another was obesity in her.她的骨架小而瘦，也許這就是為什么別人穿起來(lái)只是顯得豐滿的服裝在她身上卻顯得肥胖。7.So the next night, after midnight, four men crossed Miss Emily’s lawn and slunk about the house like burglars, sniffing along the base of the brickwork and at the cellar openings while one of them performed a regular sowing motion with his hand out of a sack slung from his shoulder.于是，第二天午夜之后，四個(gè)男人穿過(guò)艾米麗家的草坪，如同竊賊般在她屋子里潛行，沿著房子磚基部分以及地窖的通風(fēng)處使勁地嗅著。其中一個(gè)人不時(shí)地將手從背在肩上的麻袋里掏出，做出一個(gè)播種的動(dòng)作。

8.They had not even been represented at the funeral.他們甚至沒有派代表出席葬禮。

9.Miss Emily just stared at him, her head tilted back in order to look him eye for eye, until he looked away and went and got the arsenic and wrapped it up.艾米麗小姐只是盯著她，他的頭向后仰，以便能與他對(duì)視，直到他移開視線轉(zhuǎn)而去取砒霜并打包。

10.Now and then we would see her in one of the downstairs windows – she had evidently shut up the top floor of the house – like the carven torso of an idol in a niche, looking or not looking at us, we could never tell which.有時(shí)我們?cè)跇窍碌囊粋€(gè)窗口可以看到她，顯然她已封閉了頂樓，她的身影就像供奉在壁龕里的一尊雕刻成的神像軀體，我們永遠(yuǎn)分辨不出她是否在看著我們。

Lesson 9

1.They have put in the window the cardboard sign that has a pound measure printed on each of three edges – 10 lbs., 25 lbs., 50 lbs.– and No Ice on the fourth.他們?cè)诖吧蠏炝艘粔K硬紙板做的牌子，上面的三邊分別寫著10磅、25磅、50磅，第四邊寫著―不加冰‖。

2.They go to land-grant colleges, normal schools, and learn how to do the white man’s work with refinement: home economics to prepare his food;teacher education to instruct black children in obedience;music to soothe the weary master and entertain his blunted soul.她們就讀于政府撥款的大學(xué)以及師范學(xué)院。她們學(xué)習(xí)如何把服務(wù)白人丈夫的工作做得更細(xì)致：學(xué)家政是為了給他們燒菜做飯；當(dāng)老師是為了教育黑人孩子順從；學(xué)音樂(lè)是為了撫慰疲憊的主人以及娛樂(lè)他那麻木的靈魂。

3A sidelong look will be enough to tell him to smoke on the back porch.一個(gè)斜視便足以告訴他抽煙應(yīng)該到房后的走廊那邊。

4.At her gentlest touch he will preen, stretch, and open his mouth.在她最溫柔的撫摸下，他舔著毛、伸著懶腰、張開嘴巴。

5.Junior considered the playground his own, and the schoolchildren coveted his freedom to sleep late, go home for lunch, and dominate the playground after school.朱尼爾把操場(chǎng)當(dāng)做是自己的，小學(xué)生們都羨慕他有這么多的自由，可以睡懶覺，可以回家吃午飯，放學(xué)后還可以統(tǒng)治整個(gè)操場(chǎng)。

6.More than anything in the world he wanted to play King of the Mountain and have them push him down the mound of dirt and roll over him.比起這個(gè)世界上的任何東西，他最想玩―山丘之王‖的游戲，被他們推下土山坡，讓他們?cè)谒砩蠞L過(guò)去。

7.She was deep in admiration of the flowers when Junior said, ―Here!‖ 當(dāng)朱尼爾說(shuō)―給你‖的時(shí)候，她正深深地欣賞著那些花兒。

8.Pecola’s banging on the door increased his gasping, high-pitched laughter.佩克拉拼命拍門讓他笑得更厲害了。他尖聲笑著，幾乎喘不過(guò)氣。

9.But she could not hold it low enough to avoid seeing the snowflakes falling and dying on the pavement.但是就算她把頭垂得再低，也不足以避免看到雪花紛紛飄落到人行道上并立刻消融。

Lesson 10

1.But it is on the middle classes that the eye of the critic rests – just as it rests on the poor in Russia and on the aristocracy in Japan.但是，最吸引評(píng)論者關(guān)注的是中產(chǎn)階級(jí)，正如在俄國(guó)人們關(guān)注的是窮人，在日本人們關(guān)注貴族一樣。

2.How perfectly it expresses their character – far better, for instance, than does the university, into which social and spiritual complexities have already entered.它比例如帶有社會(huì)與精神的復(fù)雜性的大學(xué)更充分的表現(xiàn)了他們的特性。參考資料翻譯：英國(guó)公學(xué)制度比大學(xué)更充分地表現(xiàn)了英國(guó)中產(chǎn)階級(jí)的特性。社會(huì)與精神的復(fù)雜性已經(jīng)進(jìn)入大學(xué)。3.In all these careers his education, or the absence of it, influences him.在上述事業(yè)中，他所受的教育，或者說(shuō)沒有受到的教育，深深地影響著他。

4.They remember with regret that golden time when life, though hard, was not yet complex;when they all worked together and played together and thought together, so far as they thought at all: when they were taught that school is the world in miniature and believed that no one can love his country who does not love his school.他們心懷遺憾地懷念那段金色時(shí)光。那時(shí)生活雖然艱苦，但還不算復(fù)雜。他們同學(xué)習(xí)、同游戲、同思考，如果說(shuō)他們思考的話。他們受到的教育告訴他們，學(xué)校是個(gè)微型世界，他們相信，一個(gè)人如果不愛自己的學(xué)校，那他就不可能愛自己的國(guó)家。

5.They go forth into it with well-developed bodies, fairly developed minds, and undeveloped hearts.他們進(jìn)入社會(huì)時(shí)，體魄健全，大腦發(fā)育還算可以，但是心的發(fā)育則不健全。

6.He could not express his sorrow too much.But in me the Englishman came out strong.他過(guò)度地表達(dá)出自己的悲傷，但是在我身上則變現(xiàn)出強(qiáng)烈的英國(guó)人特性。

7.Shelley, at all events, believes that the wealth of the spirit is endless;that we may express it copiously, passionately, and always;and that we can never feel sorrow or joy to acutely.無(wú)論怎樣，雪萊相信精神的財(cái)富是無(wú)窮無(wú)盡的。他相信我們可以大量地、充滿激情地、經(jīng)常地表達(dá)我們的情感；我們永遠(yuǎn)都不能覺得悲傷或者歡樂(lè)過(guò)于劇烈。8.The Frenchmen responded at once;the Englishmen responded in time.法國(guó)人立即做出反應(yīng)，而英國(guó)人則需過(guò)一段時(shí)間才做出反應(yīng)。

9.It acts promptly and feels slowly.Such a combination is fruitful, and anyone who possesses it has gone a long way toward being brave.它行動(dòng)迅速，感覺卻遲緩。這二者的結(jié)合富有成效，具備這一結(jié)合的人多半都很勇敢。10.But she has a merciless eye for questions of conduct, and the classical example of two English people muddling themselves before they embark upon a wrong course of action is to be found in the opening chapters of Sense and Sensibility.但是在觀察行為問(wèn)題時(shí)，她的目光冷酷無(wú)情。她的小說(shuō)《理智與情感》開頭前幾章提供了一個(gè)經(jīng)典的例子——兩個(gè)英國(guó)人在開始一項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤的做法之前是如何先犯糊涂的。

11.From villainies such as these the average Englishman is free.His character, which prevents his rising to certain heights, also prevents him from sinking to these depths.普通的英國(guó)人沒有這樣的惡行。他的性格會(huì)阻礙他上升到一定的高度，同時(shí)也防止他墮落到這樣的深度。

12.The nations must understand one another, and quickly;and without the interposition of their governments, for the shrinkage of the globe is throwing them into one another’s arms.各民族必須互相了解，而且要快，不要政府的插手和干預(yù)，因?yàn)槭澜缭诳s小，正把他們拋向?qū)Ψ降膽阎小⒖假Y料翻譯：……，因?yàn)槭澜缭诳s小，這使得他們不可避免地要進(jìn)行接觸。

Lesson 11

1.If we trace the universe back to its origins in the Big Bang, we find the multiplicity of things fusing into greater and greater simplicity, until at the moment of creation itself there is only pure undifferentiated energy.如果我們追溯宇宙的起源到原始大爆炸，我們就會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)眾多的事物逐漸合并成越來(lái)越簡(jiǎn)單的事物，直到創(chuàng)世的那一刻時(shí)，就只剩下純粹而無(wú)區(qū)別的能量了。

2.I also believe this primal energy continues to feed us, directly through the goods of creation, and indirectly through the experience of beauty.我還認(rèn)為這種原始能源繼續(xù)在給我們提供能量，直接地是通過(guò)世間萬(wàn)物，間接地是通過(guò)美的感受。

3.I study images of quasars giving birth to galaxies, galaxies whirling in the shapes of pinwheels, supernovas ringed by strands of luminous debris, and all the while I am delving back toward that utter beginning when you and I and my daughter and her new husband and the bright heavenly host were joined in the original burst of light.我研究類星體產(chǎn)生星系的圖像，這些星系如同玩具風(fēng)車一樣旋轉(zhuǎn)，超新星被一縷縷發(fā)光的星體殘骸所包圍。我不斷地探索宇宙的開端，追溯到你、我、我的女兒、她的新婚丈夫以及天空中閃閃發(fā)光的星星匯合成原始大耀光。

4.The stimulus might be the sheen of moonlight on the needles of a white pine, or the iridescent glimmer on a dragonfly’s tail.It might be bird song or Bach sonata or the purl of water over stone.It might be a line of poetry, the savor of bread, the sway of a bough or a bow.The provocation might be as grand as a mountain sunrise or as humble as an icicle’s jeweled tip, yet in each case a familiar surge of gratitude and wonder wells up in me.這一刺激也許來(lái)自傾瀉在白松松針上的月光，或是蜻蜓尾部彩虹色的微光。它可能來(lái)自小鳥的歌唱、巴赫的奏鳴曲或流水淌過(guò)石頭的潺潺聲。它可能來(lái)自一行詩(shī)、面包的香味、樹枝或琴弓的搖擺。它可能如同高山日出般雄偉壯觀，或如冰柱晶瑩的柱尖般謙卑，但不管是何種起因，每次我內(nèi)心都會(huì)涌起同樣的感激和驚嘆。

5.Do my sensory thrills tell me anything about the world? Does beauty reveal a kinship between my small self and the great cosmos, or does my desire for meaning only fool me into thinking so? 感官的激情是否讓我對(duì)世界有所了解呢？是美揭示了小自我與大世界之間的緊密關(guān)系還是我對(duì)事物內(nèi)涵的追求讓我愚蠢地這樣認(rèn)為呢？

6.Mustn’t beauty be shallow if it can be painted on? Mustn’t beauty be a delusion if it can blink off and on like a flickering bulb? 如果美可以被描繪，就一定不會(huì)是膚淺的嗎？如果它能夠像閃爍的燈泡般斷斷續(xù)續(xù)地閃光，就一定不會(huì)是一種錯(cuò)覺嗎？

7.If we take a ride through the suburbs and study the rolling acres of lawn dotted with clumps of trees and occasional ponds, what do we see but a faithful simulation of the African savanna where humans first lived.如果我們坐車穿越郊區(qū)，觀察一下占地好幾英畝的起伏的草坪，點(diǎn)綴其間的樹叢及偶爾出現(xiàn)的池塘，我們所看到的不就是人類最早居住的非洲熱帶大草原的忠實(shí)翻版嗎？

8.Just so, I believe, the experience of beauty is an echo of the order and power that permeate the universe.因此，我相信對(duì)美的感受是彌漫于宇宙中的秩序與能量的共鳴。

Lesson 12

1.As Greek food goes, I was lucky.就希臘菜肴而言，我是幸運(yùn)的。

2.If you do not drink ouzo as an aperitif in a Greek provincial town, you go without.如果在希臘一個(gè)地方城市你不把茴香烈酒當(dāng)做開胃酒喝的話，你就沒到過(guò)那里。參考資料翻譯：……，那你就只好不喝。

3.Where there was once a narrow pass, there is no room for road and rail, and fields that lap round the corner.起初這里只是一條狹窄的通道，現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)寬到可以通公路和鐵路了，農(nóng)田一直延伸到山的拐角處。

4.When that assembly of nations heaved itself off the earth and marched, the ground shuddered like the head of a drum.當(dāng)來(lái)自各國(guó)的軍隊(duì)起步行進(jìn)時(shí)，大地顫抖，聲如擂鼓。

5.It is said that Xerxes leaped from his throne three times in terror for his whole army.據(jù)說(shuō)薛西斯由于擔(dān)心軍心不穩(wěn)，三次從皇帝寶座上跳了起來(lái)。

6.At any moment, rumor could have sent those savage levies scrambling away into the mountains.謠言隨時(shí)都可能讓這些強(qiáng)征來(lái)的野蠻人組成的軍隊(duì)爭(zhēng)先跑進(jìn)山里面。參考資料翻譯：……作鳥獸散，匆忙逃進(jìn)周圍的高山。

7.Obscurely, and in part, I understood what it had meant to Leonidas when he looked up at these cliffs in the dawn light and saw that their fledging of pines was not thick enough to hide the glitter of arms.朦朧地，我在某種程度上懂得了當(dāng)利奧尼達(dá)斯在拂曉的晨光中抬頭看著那些懸崖峭壁，看到松針不夠茂密得足以將兵器的鋒芒掩蓋之時(shí)，對(duì)他來(lái)說(shuō)意味著什么。

8.If the rest of Greece beyond the wall did not unite and make its stand, the game was up.如果在墻的那一邊的希臘余部不能聯(lián)合起來(lái)抵抗，那么一切都完了。

9.It is famous for its reticence and simplicity – has been translated a hundred times but can only be paraphrased.它以其含蓄與簡(jiǎn)潔著稱——雖已被譯過(guò)上百次，但也只能是意譯而已。
