Ulysses — Page 15
——这是什么鬼地方?他说。我叫她八点后再来。
—What sort of a kip is this? he said. I told her to come after eight.
——我们可以喝清茶,斯蒂芬口渴地说。储物柜里有个柠檬。
—We can drink it black, Stephen said thirstily. There's a lemon in the locker.
——哦,去你的吧,还有你那些巴黎时髦玩意儿!巴克·穆利根说。我要桑迪科夫的牛奶。
—O, damn you and your Paris fads! Buck Mulligan said. I want Sandycove milk.
海因斯从门口走进来,平静地说:
Haines came in from the doorway and said quietly:
——那个女人拿着牛奶上来了。
—That woman is coming up with the milk.
——上帝保佑你!巴克·穆利根叫道,从椅子上跳起来。坐下。把那边的茶倒出来。糖在袋子里。来,我没法去摸索那些该死的鸡蛋。
—The blessings of God on you! Buck Mulligan cried, jumping up from his chair. Sit down. Pour out the tea there. The sugar is in the bag. Here, I can't go fumbling at the damned eggs.
他在盘子里的煎食上砍了几刀,把它分到三个盘子里,说道:
He hacked through the fry on the dish and slapped it out on three plates, saying:
——奉圣父、圣子、圣灵之名。
—In nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti.
海因斯坐下来倒茶。
Haines sat down to pour out the tea.
——我给你们每人放两块糖,他说。不过,穆利根,我说,你泡的茶真够浓的,不是吗?
—I'm giving you two lumps each, he said. But, I say, Mulligan, you do make strong tea, don't you?
巴克·穆利根一边从面包上切下厚厚的几片,一边用老太婆哄人的声音说:
Buck Mulligan, hewing thick slices from the loaf, said in an old woman's wheedling voice:
——我泡茶就是泡茶,正如老葛罗根太太说的那样。而我接水就是接水。
—When I makes tea I makes tea, as old mother Grogan said. And when I makes water I makes water.
——我的天,这真是茶,海因斯说。
—By Jove, it is tea, Haines said.
巴克·穆利根继续切着面包,用哄人的语气说:
Buck Mulligan went on hewing and wheedling:
——是的,卡希尔太太,她说。天啊,太太,卡希尔太太说,但愿上帝保佑您别把它们泡在同一个壶里。
—So I do, Mrs Cahill, says she. Begob, ma'am, says Mrs Cahill, God send you don't make them in the one pot.
他依次向他的伙伴们伸出插在刀上的一厚片面包。
He lunged towards his messmates in turn a thick slice of bread, impaled on his knife.
——这是民间故事,他非常认真地说,是为你的书准备的,海因斯。
—That's folk, he said very earnestly, for your book, Haines.
