高级英语第一册lesson4 Everyday Use for your grandmama全文翻译第四课外婆锝日用家当艾丽斯•沃克尔我就在这院子里等候她的到来。
我和麦姬昨天下午已将院子打扫得干干净净，地面上还留着清晰的扫帚扫出的波浪形痕迹，这样的院子比一般人想象的要舒服，它不仅仅是一个院子，简直就像一间扩大了的客厅。
当院子的泥土地面被打扫得像屋里的地板一样干净，四周边缘的细沙面上布满不规则的细纹时，任何人都可以进来坐一下，一边抬头仰望院中的榆树，一边等着享受从来吹不进屋内的微风。
麦姬在她姐姐离去之前将会一直心神不定：她将会神情沮丧地站在角落里，一面为自己的丑陋面孔和胳膊大腿上晒出的累累疤痕而自惭形秽，一面怀着既羡慕又敬畏的心情怯生生地看着她姐姐。
她觉得她姐姐真正是生活的主人，想要什么便能得到什么，世界还没有学会对她说半个“不”字。
你一定从电视片上看到过“闯出了江山”的儿女突然出乎意料地出现在那跌跌撞撞从后台走出来的父母面前的场面。
（当然，那场面必定是令人喜悦的：假如电视上的父母和儿女之间相互攻击辱骂，他们该怎么样呢？）在电视上，母亲和儿女见面总是相互拥抱和微笑。
有时父母会痛哭流涕，而那发迹了的孩子就会紧紧地拥抱他们，并隔着桌子伸过头来告诉他们说若没有他们的帮助，她自己就不会有今日的成就。
我自己就看过这样的电视节目。
有时候我在梦里梦见迪伊和我突然成了这种电视节目的剧中人。
我从一辆黑色软座垫大轿车上一下来，立刻被人引进一间宽敞明亮的屋子里。
屋里有许多人，其中一个身材高大威武，满面微笑，有点像著名电视节目主持人约翰尼.卡森的美男子迎上来和我握手，并对我说我养了个好女儿。
然后，我们来到台前，迪伊热泪盈眶地拥抱着我，还把一朵大大的兰花别在我的衣服上，尽管她曾对我说过兰花是很低级的花。
在现实生活中，我是一个大块头、大骨架的妇女，有着干男人活儿的粗糙双手。
冬天睡觉时我穿着绒布睡衣，白天身穿套头工作衫。
我能像男人一样狠狠地宰猪并收拾干净。
第七课 外祖母的日用家当 翻译
“不对，妈妈，”她说。“不是‘迪伊’，是‘万杰罗.李万里卡。克曼乔’！”
“那‘迪伊’呢？”我问道。
“她已经死了，”万杰罗说。“我无法忍受照那些压迫我的人的名字个我取名。”
“你同我一样清楚你的名字是照你迪茜姨妈的名字取得，”我说。迪茜是我的妹妹，她名叫迪伊。 迪伊出生后我们就叫她“大迪伊”。
有时候我在梦里梦见迪伊和我突然成了这种电视节目的剧中人。我从一辆黑色软座垫大轿车上一下来，立刻被人引进一间宽敞明亮的屋子里。屋里有许多人，其中一个身材高大威武，满面微笑，有点像著名电视节目主持人约翰尼.卡森的美男子迎上来和我握手，并对我说我养了个好女儿。然后，我们来到台前，迪伊热泪盈眶地拥抱着我，还把一朵大大的兰花别在我的衣服上，尽管她曾对我说过兰花是很低级的花。
她到这儿来时我要去迎接——但他们已经到了。
麦姬拔腿就要往屋里跑去，但我第一眼看见从车上下来的那条腿就知道那是迪伊。她的腿看起来总是那么齐整，好像是上帝亲自为她特意定做的似的。从车子的另一边走下来一个矮胖的男人，他满头的头发都有一英尺长，从下巴颏上垂下来，像一只卷毛的骡子尾巴。我听见麦姬吸气的声音，听起来像是“呃”音，就像你路上突然发像一条蛇尾巴在你脚尖前蠕动时发出的声音。“呃。”
迪伊好打扮。中学毕业时她要一件黄色玻璃纱连衣裙穿着去参加毕业典礼；为了与她用别人送我的一套旧衣服改制的绿色套服配着穿，她又要了一双黑色浅口皮鞋。她要什么东西时总是不顾一切地拼命地要，不达目的不罢休，她可以一连好几分钟不眨眼地死瞪着你。我常常是费了好大的劲才克制住自己没把她抓着使劲摇抖。到十六岁时她的言谈举止开始形成自己的风格，她也知道什么叫时髦。
我故意背对这房子。这房子有三个房间，除屋顶是锡皮的外，其他方面都与被烧掉的那所房屋一样。现在再也找不到做木瓦屋顶的了。房子没有真正的窗户，只是侧面墙上挖了几个洞，有点像船上的舷窗，但又不是圆的，也不是方形的。窗格子向外开，用生牛皮悬吊起来。这房子也像那所被烧的房子一样建在一个牧场上。毫无疑问，只要迪伊看见这所房子，她一定又要毁掉它。她曾写信告诉我说，无论我们“选择”何处定居，她都会设法来看我们，但却不会带她的朋友上门。麦姬和我对这话考虑了一会，麦姬突然问我：“妈妈，迪伊什么时候有过朋友的呀？”

迪伊出生后我们就叫她“大迪伊”..“但她的名字又是依照谁的名字取得呢”万杰罗追问道..“我猜想是照迪伊外婆的名字取得;”我说..“她的名字又是照谁的名字取得呢”万杰罗逼问道..“她的妈妈;”我说..这是我注意到万杰罗已经开始感到有点厌烦了..“再远的我就记不得了;”我说..其实;我大概可以把我们的家史追溯到南北战争以前..“噢;”阿萨拉马拉吉姆说;“您已经说到哪儿了”我听到麦姬又“呃”了一声..“我还没有呢;”我说;“那是在‘迪茜’来到我们家之前的事;我为什么要追溯到那么远呢”他站在那儿咧着嘴笑;目光朝下;用人们检查A型轿车的眼神打量着我..他还和万杰罗在我的头顶上空频递眼色..“你这名字是怎么念的来着”我问..“您若不愿意;就不必用这个名字来叫我;”万杰罗说“我干吗不叫”我问..“如果你自己喜欢用那个名字;我们就叫那个名字..”“我知道这名字起初听起来有点别扭;”万杰罗说..“我会慢慢习惯的;”我说;“你给我再念一遍吧..”就这样;我们很快就不再提名字发音问题了..阿萨拉马拉吉姆的名字有两倍那么长;三倍那么难念..我试着念了两三次都念错了;于是他就叫我干脆称呼他哈吉姆阿巴波就行了..我本想问他究竟是不是开巴波理发店的;但我觉得他不像是个理发师;所以就没有问.. “你一定属于马路那边的那些养牛部族;”我说..那些人见人打招呼也是说“阿萨拉马拉吉姆”;但他们不同人握手..他们总是忙忙碌碌的：喂牲口;修篱笆;扎帐篷;堆草料;等等..当白人毒死了一些牛以后;那些人便彻夜不眠地端着枪戒备..为了一睹这种情景;我走了一英里半的路程..哈吉姆阿巴波说;“我接受他们的一些观念;但种田和养牛却不是我干的事业..”他们没有告诉我;我也没开口去问;万杰萝迪伊究竟是不是同他结婚了..我们开始坐下吃饭;他马上声明他不吃羽衣甘蓝;猪肉也不干净..万杰萝却是猪肠、玉米面包、蔬菜;什么都吃..吃红薯时她更是谈笑风生..一切都令她高兴;就连我们仍在使用着当初她爸爸因为买不起椅子而做的条凳这种事情也令她感兴趣..“啊;妈妈”她惊叫道..接着转头向着哈吉姆阿巴波..“我以前还从来不知道这些条凳有这么可爱;在上面还摸得出屁股印迹来;”她一边说着;一边将手伸到屁股下面去摸凳子..接着;她叹了一口气;她的手放在迪伊外婆的黄油碟上捏拢了..“对了”她说..“我早知道这儿有些我想问您能不能给我的东西..”她离桌起身;走到角落处;那儿放着一个搅乳器;里面的牛奶已结成了酸奶..她看了看搅乳器;又望了望里面的酸奶..“这个搅乳器的盖子我想要;”她说..“那不是巴迪叔叔用你们原有的一棵树的木头做成的吗”“是的;”我说..“啊哈;”她兴高采烈地说..“我还想要那根搅乳棒..”“那也是巴迪叔叔做的吗”巴波问道..迪伊万杰萝仰头望着我..“那是迪伊姨妈的第一个丈夫做的;”麦姬用低得几乎听不见的声音说..“他的名字叫亨利;但人们总叫他史大西..”“麦姬的脑袋像大象一样;”万杰萝说着哈哈大笑..“我可以将这搅乳器盖子放在凹室餐桌中央做装饰品;”她一边拿一个托盘盖在搅乳器上;一边说道..“至于那根搅乳棒;我也会想出一个艺术化的用途的..”她将搅乳棒包裹起来;把柄还露在外头..我伸手将把柄握了一会儿..不用将眼睛凑近去细看也可以看出搅乳棒把柄上由于长年累月握着搅动而留下的凹陷的握痕..那上面的小槽子很多;你可以分辨出哪儿是拇指压出的印子;哪儿是其他手指压出的印子..搅乳棒的木料取自大迪伊和史大西住过的庭院中长的一棵树;木质呈浅黄色;甚是好看..晚饭后;迪伊万杰萝走到放在我床脚边的衣箱那儿;开始翻找起来..麦姬在厨房里洗碗;故意延挨着不愿早出来..万杰萝忽然从房里抱出两床被子..这两床被子是迪伊外婆用一块块小布片拼起来;然后由迪伊姨妈和我两人在前厅的缝被架上绗缝而成的..其中一床绘的是单星图案;另一床是踏遍群山图案..两床被子上都缝有从迪伊外婆五十多年前穿过的衣服上拆下来的布片;还有杰雷尔爷爷的佩兹利涡旋纹花呢衬衣上拆下来的碎布片;还有一小块褪了色的兰布片;大小只相当于一个小火柴盒;那是从依兹拉曾祖父在南北战争时穿的军服上拆下来的..“妈妈;”万杰萝用莺声燕语般的甜蜜声调问;“我可不可以把这两床被子拿走” 我听到厨房里有什么东西掉落地上的声音;紧接着又听见厨房的门砰地关上的声音.. “你何不拿另外一两床呢”我问道..“这两床还是你外婆去世前用布条拼起来;然后由大迪伊和我两人缝起来的旧被子..”“不;”万杰萝说..“我不要那些被子..那些被子的边线都是机缝的..”“那样还耐用一些;”我说..“这一点并不重要;”万杰萝说..“这两床被子都是用外婆曾穿过的衣服拆成布片;然后由她靠手工一针一线拼缀而成的..想想看吧”她生怕别人会抢去似的牢牢抓住被子;一边用手在上面抚摸..“那上面有些布片;比如那些淡紫色的布片;还是从她妈妈传给她的旧衣服上拆下来的;”我说着便伸手去摸被子..迪伊万杰萝往后退缩;让我摸不着被子..那两床被子已经属于她了..“你看多不简单”她又低声赞叹了一句;一边把被子紧紧抱在怀里..“问题是;”我说;“我已说好等麦姬和约翰托马斯结婚时将那两床被子送给麦姬的..”她像挨了蜂蜇似的惊叫了一声..“麦姬可不懂这两床被子的价值”她说..“她可能会蠢得将它们当成普通被子来使用..”“我也认为她会这样;”我说..“上帝知道这两床被子我留了多久;一直都没有人用它们..我希望她来用”我不想说出迪伊万杰萝上大学时我送给她一床被子的事..她当时对我说那被子老掉牙了;没个样子..“可那两床被子是无价之宝呀”她此时这样说着;样子很是生气——她是很爱生气的..“麦姬将会把它们放在床上每天用;那样的话;五年之后;那两床被子就会变成破烂了;还用不了五年”“破了她会再重新缝;”我说..“麦姬学会了缝被子..”迪伊万杰萝恶狠狠地看着我..“你不懂;关键是这些被子;这两床被子”“那么说;”我真有点茫然不解;便问道;“你要那两床被子作什么呢”“把它们挂起来;”她说道..似乎这就是被子所能派上的唯一的用场..麦姬这时正站在门口;我几乎能听见她的双脚互相摩擦发出的声音..“让她拿去吧;妈妈;”她说着;就像一个已经习惯于从来也得不到什么;或从来没有什么东西属于她一样..“不要那些被子我也能记得迪伊外婆..”我紧紧地盯视着她..她的下嘴唇上沾满了黑草莓汁;这使她看起来有一种迟钝而又羞惭的神色..她能自己缝制被子是迪伊外婆和大迪伊教的..她站在那儿;将一双疤痕累累的手藏在裙褶缝里..她怯生生地望着她姐姐;但并没有对她姐姐生气..这就是麦姬的命运;她知道这就是上帝的安排..我这样看着她时;突然产生了这样一种感觉：似乎头顶上受了什么东西的敲击;其力量白头顶直透脚心..这就像在教堂里受到上帝的神力感动后激动得狂喊乱叫时的那种感觉..于是;我做了一件以前从未做过的事：将麦姬一把搂过来;把她拉进卧房里;然后一把从万杰萝小姐手中夺过被子放到麦姬的大腿上..麦姬就这样坐在我的床上;一副目瞪口呆的样子.. “你拿两床别的被子吧;”我对迪伊说..但她一声不吭就转身出屋．往哈吉姆阿巴波身边走去..“你完全不懂;”当我和麦姬来到汽车旁边时;她说..“我不懂什么”我问道..“你的遗产;”她说..随后;她转向麦姬;吻了吻她;说;“麦姬;你也该努力活出个人样儿来啊..现在我们所处的是新时代..但照你和妈妈现在仍过着的这种生活来看;你是绝对体会不到这一点的..”她戴上一副大太阳镜;把下巴和鼻尖以上的整个面孔全遮住了..麦姬笑起来了;大概看到太阳镜发笑的吧;但这是真正的喜悦的笑;一点没有害怕的意思..目送汽车远去;车轮扬起的灰尘消失后;我叫麦姬给我舀来一碗草莓汁..然后我们娘儿俩便坐下来细细地品味着;直到天时已晚才进屋就寝..。

• Dee is not appreciated by the author. At first, Dee wanted to get rid of her own culture. She hated her humble house and never wanted to take her friends to her family. She pursed the white culture and received good education of the white community. When the black movement began, she simply took her tradition that she once hated as a thing to show off. She carefully took pictures of her humble house, took the churn and dasher as something artistic, wore strange clothes and changed her name, which totally is a superficial imitation of the black tradition.

Everyday Use for Your GrandmamaIn order to understand this passage better, we can watch a movie---”The Color of Purple”故事发生于1909年美国南部。
未受过教育的黑人女孩西莉被继父强奸后，又被迫嫁给了粗鲁，凶狠的黑人男子，西莉称其为“先生”。
在惊恐和胆怯中她开始了奴仆一般的痛苦生活。
幸而有亲姐妹南蒂与之相伴，泪水中才多了一些欢乐。
不久，这短暂的幸福也从西莉身边消失了。
因为“先生”强奸南蒂不成，恼羞成怒地将南蒂赶了出去，姐妹二人被残酷的分开。
年复一年，西莉在门口的邮筒中找寻南蒂的音讯，她始终期盼有一天能与南蒂再次重逢……(从中大家可以看到当时的整个社会的缩影，以及黑人生活的社会环境和社会地位，黑人女性的崛起和黑人女性的反抗精神也从有深刻得展现)Everyday Use for Your GrandmamaCharacters:Maggie: a shy,young woman made even more self-concious by scars she got in a house fire years ago.

总结-Alice Walker
• The whole course of self-consciousness is a hard one. How to realize one’s value and keep the tradition? Abandoned by the long-term restrict of the white community and the men, black women have to realize their own value and keep their own spirit before they fight for the equal right in the society. Alice Walker believes that it is not long when all the black women began to realize their own value and tradition.

未受过教育的黑人女孩西莉被继父强奸后，又被迫嫁给了粗鲁，凶狠的黑人男子，西莉称其为“先生”。
在惊恐和胆怯中她开始了奴仆一般的痛苦生活。
幸而有亲姐妹南蒂与之相伴，泪水中才多了一些欢乐。
不久，这短暂的幸福也从西莉身边消失了。
因为“先生”强奸南蒂不成，恼羞成怒地将南蒂赶了出去，姐妹二人被残酷的分开。
年复一年，西莉在门口的邮筒中找寻南蒂的音讯，她始终期盼有一天能与南蒂再次重逢……(从中大家可以看到当时的整个社会的缩影，以及黑人生活的社会环境和社会地位，黑人女性的崛起和黑人女性的反抗精神也从有深刻得展现)Everyday Use for Your GrandmamaCharacters:Maggie: a shy,young woman made even more self-concious by scars she got in a house fire years ago.
