大学英语文章赏析1
小巷(中英对照)
原文:小巷的动人处就是她无比的悠闲,只要你到巷里去踯躅一会,心情就会如巷尾不波的古井,那是一种和平的静穆,而不是阴森和肃杀,它闹中取静,别有天地,仍是人间。它可能是一条现代的乌衣巷,家家有自己的一本哀乐账,一部兴衰史,可是重门叠户,讳莫如深,夕阳影里,野草闲花,燕子低飞,寻觅旧家。只是一片澄明如水的气氛,净化一切,笼罩一切,使人忘忧。
译文:The charm of the lane lies in its absolute serenity. No matter who you are, if you loiter around in the lane for a while, your mind will become as unruffled as the ancient well at the end of the lane.There you will experience a kind of peaceful calmness rather than gloomy sternness.There reigns peace and quiet in the midst of noisy bustle. It is a world of its own on earth. It may be a modern version of Wu Yi Xiang, a special residential area of nobility in the Jin Dynasty southeast of today’s Nanjing, where each family, secluded behind
closed doors, has its own covered-up story of joys and sorrows, and rise and decline.
注解:①阴森和肃杀,译为gloomy sternness,是把原文两个并列的形容词转化为英语的“定语+抽象名词”的形式②乌衣巷,在今南京市东南,东晋时为望族居住的地方。
古往今来,江南的小巷便是无数文人墨客舒展情韵的地方,陆游是听着雨想象着巷口那卖杏花的女子清脆的叫卖声,所以写下了“小楼一夜听春雨,深巷明朝卖杏花”的诗句;戴望舒也走过小巷,但他是孤寂地走在小巷里,带着那一份彷徨而寂寥;而柯灵走过的小巷却是如此有灵性,优娴而贞静。走在小巷里,柯灵发现了人生的乐趣,生存的意义,宁静淡泊的处世,远离逐名争利的高洁。在他眼中,小巷“是人海汹汹中的一道避风塘”。读柯灵的散文,犹如在听一位儒雅的学者幽雅平和地娓娓道来,又如在听一首优美的钢琴曲,含蓄而温柔。文字清丽秀美,句式错落有致,看似平常却蕴含清湛如水的意境。他的文字最大的好处便是不浮夸,不煸情,用平易真切的语调,精湛凝练的文字,把他的经历,他的感观,他的作为作家与新闻记者的良知,他的对现实与历史的思考,行水流水一般地体现出来,使读者不由地走进了他的世界,与他一起,海阔天空,自由飞翔。
练习:翻译句子:夕阳影里,野草闲花,燕子低飞,寻觅旧家。只是一片澄明如水的气氛,净化一切,笼罩一切,使人忘忧。
答案:When the sun is setting, swallows will fly low over wild flowers and grass on their way to their nests. The
all-pervading and all-purifying atmosphere of waterlike placidness makes one forget all cares and worries.

不要停,继续弹
Wishing to encourage her young son’s progress on the piano, a mother took her boy to a Paderewski concert. After they were seated, the mother spotted a friend in the audience and walked down the aisle to greet her.
Seizing the opportunity to explore the wonders of the concert hall, the little boy rose and eventually explored his way through a door marked “NO ADMITTANCE.”When the house lights dimmed and the concert was about to begin, the mother returned to her seat and discovered that the child was missing.
Suddenly, the curtains parted and spotlights focused on the impressive Steinway on stage. In horror, the mother saw her little boy sitting at the key- board, innocently picking out Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.
At that moment, the great piano master made his entrance, quickly moved to the piano, and whispered in the boy’s ear, “Don’t quit. Keep playing.”
Then leaning over, Paderewski reached down with his left
