Ulysses — Page 13
为了我,也为了我们大家。
For my sake and for all our sakes.
他的头消失了,又重新出现。
His head disappeared and reappeared.
——我把你说的爱尔兰艺术的象征告诉他了。他说非常聪明。去跟他借一镑,好吗?我是说一枚金币。
—I told him your symbol of Irish art. He says it's very clever. Touch him for a quid, will you? A guinea, I mean.
——我今天早上发薪水,"斯蒂芬说。
—I get paid this morning, Stephen said.
——那个破学校?"巴克·马利根说,"多少钱?四镑?借我一镑。"
—The school kip? Buck Mulligan said. How much? Four quid? Lend us one.
——你要的话就拿去,"斯蒂芬说。
—If you want it, Stephen said.
——四枚闪亮的金币!"巴克·马利根兴高采烈地叫道,"我们要痛痛快快地喝一场,让那帮德鲁伊祭司们大吃一惊。四枚万能的金币!"
—Four shining sovereigns, Buck Mulligan cried with delight. We'll have a glorious drunk to astonish the druidy druids. Four omnipotent sovereigns.
他扬起双手,踏着石阶走下去,用伦敦东区口音跑调地唱着:
He flung up his hands and tramped down the stone stairs, singing out of tune with a Cockney accent:
哦,我们岂不是要快活一番,喝着威士忌、啤酒和葡萄酒!在加冕典礼,加冕典礼那天!哦,我们岂不是要在加冕典礼那天快活一番!
O, won't we have a merry time, Drinking whisky, beer and wine! On coronation, Coronation day! O, won't we have a merry time On coronation day!
温暖的阳光欢快地洒在海面上。那只镍质剃须碗被遗忘在城垛上,闪闪发光。我为什么要把它带下去?还是就这样放在那里,整日被遗忘,就像一段被遗忘的友情?
Warm sunshine merrying over the sea. The nickel shavingbowl shone, forgotten, on the parapet. Why should I bring it down? Or leave it there all day, forgotten friendship?
他走过去,把它捧在手中,感受着它的凉意,嗅着刷子插在其中的那团肥皂沫散发出的湿腻气息。就这样,我曾经在克朗戈斯捧着香炉走过。我如今已换了一个人,却又还是原来那个我。也是个仆人。仆人的仆人。
He went over to it, held it in his hands awhile, feeling its coolness, smelling the clammy slaver of the lather in which the brush was stuck. So I carried the boat of incense then at Clongowes. I am another now and yet the same. A servant too. A server of a servant.
在塔楼那间穹顶低垂、光线昏暗的起居室里,巴克·马利根身着长袍的身影在炉火旁来回急走,时而遮住,时而映出那片黄色的火光。
In the gloomy domed livingroom of the tower Buck Mulligan's gowned form moved briskly to and fro about the hearth, hiding and revealing its yellow glow.
