Ulysses — Page 14
两束柔和的日光从高处的雉堞射落在石板地上
Two shafts of soft daylight fell across the flagged floor from the high barbacans
在两束光线交汇之处,一团煤烟与煎油的油烟飘浮旋转着。
and at the meeting of their rays a cloud of coalsmoke and fumes of fried grease floated, turning.
——我们要被熏死了,巴克·穆利根说。海因斯,把那扇门打开好吗?
—We'll be choked, Buck Mulligan said. Haines, open that door, will you?
斯蒂芬把剃须碗放在储物柜上。
Stephen laid the shavingbowl on the locker.
一个高挑的身影从吊床上起身,走到门口,将内门拉开。
A tall figure rose from the hammock where it had been sitting, went to the doorway and pulled open the inner doors.
——你有钥匙吗?一个声音问道。
—Have you the key? a voice asked.
——迪达勒斯有,巴克·穆利根说。天哪,我要被熏死了!
—Dedalus has it, Buck Mulligan said. Janey Mack, I'm choked!
他头也不抬地对着炉火嚷道:
He howled, without looking up from the fire:
——金奇!
—Kinch!
——钥匙在锁孔里,斯蒂芬走上前说。
—It's in the lock, Stephen said, coming forward.
钥匙刺耳地转了两圈,沉重的门被推开一道缝后,宜人的光线与清新的空气随之涌入。
The key scraped round harshly twice and, when the heavy door had been set ajar, welcome light and bright air entered.
海因斯站在门口向外眺望。
Haines stood at the doorway, looking out.
斯蒂芬将竖立的行李箱拖到桌边,坐下来等候。
Stephen haled his upended valise to the table and sat down to wait.
巴克·穆利根把煎好的食物翻到他身旁的盘子里,然后端着盘子和一只大茶壶走到桌旁,重重地放下,长舒了一口气。
Buck Mulligan tossed the fry on to the dish beside him. Then he carried the dish and a large teapot over to the table, set them down heavily and sighed with relief.
——我快热化了,他说,就像那根蜡烛说的……不过,嘘!这个话题到此为止!金奇,醒醒!面包、黄油、蜂蜜。海因斯,进来吧。饭菜好了。主啊,请赐福于我们和这些食物。糖在哪里?哦,天哪,没有牛奶了。
—I'm melting, he said, as the candle remarked when... But, hush! Not a word more on that subject! Kinch, wake up! Bread, butter, honey. Haines, come in. The grub is ready. Bless us, O Lord, and these thy gifts. Where's the sugar? O, jay, there's no milk.
斯蒂芬从储物柜里取来面包、蜂蜜罐和黄油盒。巴克·穆利根突然一阵不快,气呼呼地坐了下来。
Stephen fetched the loaf and the pot of honey and the buttercooler from the locker. Buck Mulligan sat down in a sudden pet.
