Ulysses — Page 7

English → Chinese Full Text Level 9/10

—I pinched it out of the skivvy's room, Buck Mulligan said. It does her all right. The aunt always keeps plainlooking servants for Malachi. Lead him not into temptation. And her name is Ursula.

——我是从女仆房间里顺来的，布克·穆利根说。她用这个挺好的。姑妈总是给马拉基留相貌平平的仆人。免得引他犯罪。她的名字叫乌苏拉。

Laughing again, he brought the mirror away from Stephen's peering eyes.

他又笑起来，把镜子从斯蒂芬凝视的眼前移开。

—The rage of Caliban at not seeing his face in a mirror, he said. If Wilde were only alive to see you!

——卡利班见不到自己在镜中的脸时的那种愤怒，他说。要是王尔德还活着看见你就好了！

Drawing back and pointing, Stephen said with bitterness:

斯蒂芬退后一步，指着镜子，带着苦涩说道：

—It is a symbol of Irish art. The cracked lookingglass of a servant.

——这是爱尔兰艺术的象征。一个仆人的破镜子。

Buck Mulligan suddenly linked his arm in Stephen's and walked with him round the tower, his razor and mirror clacking in the pocket where he had thrust them.

布克·穆利根突然挽起斯蒂芬的手臂，与他一同绕着塔楼踱步，他塞入口袋的剃刀和镜子在里面叮当作响。

—It's not fair to tease you like that, Kinch, is it? he said kindly. God knows you have more spirit than any of them.

——这样取笑你是不公平的，金奇，不是吗？他亲切地说。天晓得，你比他们任何人都更有才气。

Parried again. He fears the lancet of my art as I fear that of his. The cold steel pen.

又被挡开了。他害怕我的艺术之柳叶刀，正如我害怕他的一样。那冰冷的钢笔。

—Cracked lookingglass of a servant! Tell that to the oxy chap downstairs and touch him for a guinea. He's stinking with money and thinks you're not a gentleman. His old fellow made his tin by selling jalap to Zulus or some bloody swindle or other. God, Kinch, if you and I could only work together we might do something for the island. Hellenise it.

——仆人的破镜子！把这话告诉楼下那个蠢小子，向他敲一个基尼。他有的是臭钱，还觉得你不是个绅士。他的老头子靠着向祖鲁人兜售泻药或者什么狗屁骗局发的财。天啊，金奇，要是你我能携手合作，也许能为这座岛做点什么。让它希腊化。

Cranly's arm. His arm.

克兰利的手臂。他的手臂。

—And to think of your having to beg from these swine. I'm the only one that knows what you are.

——真想不到你竟要向这些猪玀乞讨。只有我一个人知道你是什么样的人。
