Won from the Waves — Page 3
它并不特别迷人——事实上，彼时彼刻几乎没有什么景色能显出美态；但当阳光照耀在碧波荡漾的水面上，云影交替变幻，海洋画家或许能在那些风景如画的村舍、健壮的渔民、峭拔的悬崖和缀满贝壳的金色沙滩之间，找到许多值得描绘的题材。
It was not especially attractive--indeed few scenes would have appeared to advantage at that moment; but when sunshine lighted up the blue dancing waters, varied by the shadows of passing clouds, the marine painter might have found many subjects for his pencil among the picturesque cottages, their sturdy inhabitants, the wild cliffs, and the yellow strand glittering with shells.
再往内陆走，景色便愈发宜人。南边的高地上，整洁的村舍掩映于灌木丛中，教区教堂耸立着方形钟楼，更远处则是雷金纳德·卡斯尔顿爵士的庄园，坐落于广阔的园林之中，宽阔的湖泊、碧绿的草甸和枝叶繁茂的树丛环绕四周，高高的栅栏将外人拒于门外，也将那些在林间草地上翩然跳跃的优雅鹿群牢牢护于其中。
Farther inland the country improved. On the higher ground to the south were neat cottages rising among shrubberies, the parish church with its square tower, and yet farther off the mansion of Sir Reginald Castleton, in the midst of its park, with its broad lake, its green meadows and clumps of wide-spreading trees, surrounded by a high paling forbidding the ingress of strangers, and serving to secure the herd of graceful deer which bounded amidst its glades.
渔夫们全然不顾扑面而来的迷蒙雾气——那雾气落在他们的防水外套和南瓜帽上，汇成细流淌下——仍不断将目光投向海面，竭力想穿透那日益浓重的阴霾。
The fishermen--regardless of the driving mist, which, settling on their flushing coats and sou'-westers, ran off them in streamlets--kept turning their eyes seawards, endeavouring to penetrate the increasing gloom.
「亚当·哈利伯特来了！」其中一人转过身，喊道；「我们且听听他怎么看这天气。要是他已打定主意今晚出海，那除非天气比现在糟糕得多，否则没什么能让他留在家里。」
"Here comes Adam Halliburt!" exclaimed one of them, turning round; "we shall hear what he thinks of the weather. If he has made up his mind to go to sea to-night, it must come on much worse than it now is to keep him at home."
