The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Complete — Page 1
星期六的早晨来临了,整个夏日的世界明媚清新,充满生机。
Saturday morning was come, and all the summer world was bright and fresh, and brimming with life.
每个人的心中都有一首歌;如果心灵年轻,那歌声便会从嘴唇间流淌而出。
There was a song in every heart; and if the heart was young the music issued at the lips.
每张脸上都洋溢着欢笑,每一步都轻盈有力。
There was cheer in every face and a spring in every step.
刺槐树正值花期,花朵的芬芳弥漫在空气中。
The locust-trees were in bloom and the fragrance of the blossoms filled the air.
卡迪夫山在村子的另一头,高高耸立,绿意盎然,距离恰到好处,宛如一片梦幻、宁静而令人神往的乐土。
Cardiff Hill, beyond the village and above it, was green with vegetation and it lay just far enough away to seem a Delectable Land, dreamy, reposeful, and inviting.
汤姆提着一桶石灰水和一把长柄刷子出现在人行道上。
Tom appeared on the sidewalk with a bucket of whitewash and a long-handled brush.
他打量了一下那道围栏,心中所有的快乐顿时消散,一股深深的忧郁笼罩了他的心灵。
He surveyed the fence, and all gladness left him and a deep melancholy settled down upon his spirit.
三十码长、九英尺高的木板围栏。
Thirty yards of board fence nine feet high.
生命对他来说似乎空洞无物,活着不过是一种负担。
Life to him seemed hollow, and existence but a burden.
他叹了口气,将刷子蘸上石灰水,沿着最上面的木板刷了过去;又重复了一遍;再刷了一次;然后把那条微不足道的白色痕迹与那片望不到头的未刷围栏相比较,沮丧地坐在一个树箱上。
Sighing, he dipped his brush and passed it along the topmost plank; repeated the operation; did it again; compared the insignificant whitewashed streak with the far-reaching continent of unwhitewashed fence, and sat down on a tree-box discouraged.
吉姆提着一个锡桶,唱着《布法罗女郎》,蹦蹦跳跳地从大门跑了出来。
Jim came skipping out at the gate with a tin pail, and singing Buffalo Gals.
从前,去镇上的水泵提水在汤姆眼里一直是件讨厌的差事,但此刻他却不这么觉得了。
Bringing water from the town pump had always been hateful work in Tom's eyes, before, but now it did not strike him so.
他想起水泵那里总是热闹非凡——白人、混血儿和黑人的男孩女孩们总是聚在那里,等着轮到自己,休息聊天,交换玩具,吵嘴打架,嬉笑玩闹。
He remembered that there was company at the pump. White, mulatto, and negro boys and girls were always there waiting their turns, resting, trading playthings, quarrelling, fighting, skylarking.
