Great Expectations — Page 2
我们的家乡是沼泽地带,在河边,沿着蜿蜒的河道,距海约二十英里。
Ours was the marsh country, down by the river, within, as the river wound, twenty miles of the sea.
我对周围事物最初、最鲜明、最深刻的印象,似乎是在一个难忘的、寒意逼人的傍晚时分获得的。
My first most vivid and broad impression of the identity of things seems to me to have been gained on a memorable raw afternoon towards evening.
就在那时,我确切地发现,这片长满荨麻的荒凉之地是墓地;
At such a time I found out for certain that this bleak place overgrown with nettles was the churchyard;
此教区已故居民菲利普·皮里普,以及他的妻子乔治亚娜,均已长眠于此;
and that Philip Pirrip, late of this parish, and also Georgiana wife of the above, were dead and buried;
亚历山大、巴塞洛缪、亚伯拉罕、托拜厄斯和罗杰,上述夫妇的几个幼子,也都已长眠于此;
and that Alexander, Bartholomew, Abraham, Tobias, and Roger, infant children of the aforesaid, were also dead and buried;
墓地后面那片黑暗平坦的荒野,沟渠、土丘和栅栏纵横交错,零散的牛群在上面吃草,那就是沼泽地;
and that the dark flat wilderness beyond the churchyard, intersected with dikes and mounds and gates, with scattered cattle feeding on it, was the marshes;
沼泽地远处那条低沉的铅灰色线条是河流;
and that the low leaden line beyond was the river;
更远处那个狂风呼啸而来的蛮荒之地是大海;
and that the distant savage lair from which the wind was rushing was the sea;
而那个瑟瑟发抖、对这一切感到害怕、开始哭泣的小小身影,就是皮普。
and that the small bundle of shivers growing afraid of it all and beginning to cry, was Pip.
「别出声!」一个可怕的声音喝道,一个男人从教堂门廊旁的墓碑丛中突然站了起来。「站着别动,你这个小魔鬼,不然我割断你的喉咙!」
"Hold your noise!" cried a terrible voice, as a man started up from among the graves at the side of the church porch. "Keep still, you little devil, or I'll cut your throat!"
那是个令人胆寒的男人,浑身穿着粗糙的灰色衣服,腿上套着一个大铁镣。
A fearful man, all in coarse grey, with a great iron on his leg.
他没有戴帽子,穿着破烂的鞋子,头上缠着一块旧布。
A man with no hat, and with broken shoes, and with an old rag tied round his head.
