The Picture of Dorian Gray — Page 1
画室里弥漫着玫瑰浓郁的芬芳,夏日的微风拂过花园中的树木,透过敞开的门扉,送来丁香沉醉的馥郁,或是粉花山楂更为清幽的香气。
The studio was filled with the rich odour of roses, and when the light summer wind stirred amidst the trees of the garden, there came through the open door the heavy scent of the lilac, or the more delicate perfume of the pink-flowering thorn.
亨利·沃顿勋爵斜倚在那张由波斯马鞍袋拼成的软榻一角,一如往常地抽着数不清的香烟,恰好能瞥见一株金链花那蜜色甜美的花簇——它颤巍巍的枝条似乎难以承受那如火焰般绚烂的美丽之重;时而有飞鸟掠过,奇异的身影投映在那扇巨窗前拉展开的长幅柞丝绸帘上,造出一种转瞬即逝的日本风韵,令他想起东京那些面如白玉、神情淡然的画师——他们借助一种本质上静止不动的艺术,却竭力传达出疾速与动感。
From the corner of the divan of Persian saddle-bags on which he was lying, smoking, as was his custom, innumerable cigarettes, Lord Henry Wotton could just catch the gleam of the honey-sweet and honey-coloured blossoms of a laburnum, whose tremulous branches seemed hardly able to bear the burden of a beauty so flamelike as theirs; and now and then the fantastic shadows of birds in flight flitted across the long tussore-silk curtains that were stretched in front of the huge window, producing a kind of momentary Japanese effect, and making him think of those pallid, jade-faced painters of Tokyo who, through the medium of an art that is necessarily immobile, seek to convey the sense of swiftness and motion.
蜜蜂嗡嗡低鸣,费力地穿行于那片久未修剪的深草之间,或执拗地一圈圈绕着那蔓生忍冬上落满灰尘的镀金角状花苞盘旋——这声响反而使四周的寂静愈发沉闷压抑。伦敦城隐隐传来的喧嚣,仿佛远处管风琴低沉绵长的持续低音。
The sullen murmur of the bees shouldering their way through the long unmown grass, or circling with monotonous insistence round the dusty gilt horns of the straggling woodbine, seemed to make the stillness more oppressive. The dim roar of London was like the bourdon note of a distant organ.
