English → Chinese Full Text Level 9/10

He came over to the gunrest and, thrusting a hand into Stephen's upper pocket, said:

他走到炮架旁，将手伸进斯蒂芬上衣口袋，说道：

—Lend us a loan of your noserag to wipe my razor.

——借你的擤鼻布给我擦擦剃刀。

Stephen suffered him to pull out and hold up on show by its corner a dirty crumpled handkerchief.

斯蒂芬任由他从口袋里掏出一块肮脏皱巴巴的手帕，捏着角儿举起来展示。

Buck Mulligan wiped the razorblade neatly.

巴克·穆利根利落地擦净了剃刀刃。

Then, gazing over the handkerchief, he said:

然后，他隔着手帕凝视着，说道：

—The bard's noserag! A new art colour for our Irish poets: snotgreen.

——诗人的擤鼻布！爱尔兰诗人的一种新艺术色彩：鼻涕绿。

You can almost taste it, can't you?

几乎能尝到那味道，不是吗？

He mounted to the parapet again and gazed out over Dublin bay, his fair oakpale hair stirring slightly.

他再次登上胸墙，眺望都柏林湾，一头浅淡橡木色的头发微微飘动。

—God! he said quietly. Isn't the sea what Algy calls it: a great sweet mother? The snotgreen sea. The scrotumtightening sea. Epi oinopa ponton. Ah, Dedalus, the Greeks! I must teach you. You must read them in the original. Thalatta! Thalatta! She is our great sweet mother. Come and look.

——天哪！他轻声说。大海不正是阿尔吉所说的：一位伟大慈爱的母亲吗？鼻涕绿的大海。令阴囊收紧的大海。Epi oinopa ponton。啊，迪达勒斯，希腊人！我得教导你。你必须读原著。Thalatta！Thalatta！她是我们伟大慈爱的母亲。来看看吧。

Stephen stood up and went over to the parapet. Leaning on it he looked down on the water and on the mailboat clearing the harbourmouth of Kingstown.

斯蒂芬站起身走到胸墙旁。他倚靠在上面，俯视着水面，以及正驶出金斯敦港口的邮船。

—Our mighty mother! Buck Mulligan said.

——我们强大的母亲！巴克·穆利根说。

He turned abruptly his grey searching eyes from the sea to Stephen's face.

他猛然将那双灰色探寻的眼睛从大海转向斯蒂芬的脸。

—The aunt thinks you killed your mother, he said. That's why she won't let me have anything to do with you.

——姑妈认为是你害死了你母亲，他说。这就是为什么她不让我和你有任何往来。

—Someone killed her, Stephen said gloomily.

——是有人害死了她，斯蒂芬阴郁地说。

—You could have knelt down, damn it, Kinch, when your dying mother asked you, Buck Mulligan said. I'm hyperborean as much as you.

——你本可以跪下来的，该死，金奇，当你垂死的母亲请求你时，巴克·穆利根说。我和你一样是极北之人。
