　　六級(jí)英語(yǔ)美文摘抄

　　Detour to Romance

　　曲折浪漫路

　　Harry came in a little over three years ago and waited at the head of the stairs for his girl from the 9∶05 train.

　　哈里3年多以前來(lái)到這里，站在樓梯口等待9點(diǎn)05分到達(dá)的火車上的他的女朋友。

　　He was all dressed up and they would be married twenty minutes after she arrived.

　　他穿戴整齊，而且在她到達(dá)20分鐘之后他們就要結(jié)婚。

　　All the passengers had left and she didn’t show up.

　　旅客們都離開(kāi)了，她還沒(méi)有出現(xiàn)。

　　She didn’t come on the 9∶18 either, nor on the 9∶40, and when the passengers from the 10∶02 had all arrived and left, Harry was looking pretty desperate. I asked him what she looked like.

　　她也沒(méi)乘9點(diǎn)18分的那趟車來(lái)，9點(diǎn)40分的車上也沒(méi)她。等10點(diǎn)02分那趟車的旅客全都到達(dá)并離開(kāi)后，哈里顯得很失望。我問(wèn)她長(zhǎng)得什么模樣。

　　"She’s small and dark," he said, " and her eyebrows come to a little point in the middle. "

　　“她個(gè)子小，皮膚黑，”他說(shuō)，“她的眉心處有一個(gè)小點(diǎn)兒。”

　　He showed me the telegram he’d received: ARRIVE THURSDAY. MEET ME STATION. LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE. MAY.

　　他給我看他收到的電報(bào)：星期四到。車站接我。愛(ài)愛(ài)愛(ài)愛(ài)——梅。

　　"Well," I finally said, "why don’t you phone to your home? She’s probably called there if she got in ahead of you."

　　“呃，”我最后說(shuō)，“你干嗎不往家里打個(gè)電話?如果她先你到達(dá)這里，她可能已給你家打過(guò)電話。”

　　He gave me a sick look. "I’ve only been in town two days. She hasn’t any address for me." He touched the telegram.

　　他懊惱地看了我一眼。“我到城里才兩天。她——她也沒(méi)給我任何地址。”他摸了摸電報(bào)。

　　Harry met every train for the next three or four days.

　　哈里在后來(lái)的三四天接了每趟車。

　　One day, after about two weeks, Harry was behind the counter of Tony’s magazine and he began to work as a clerk for Tony.

　　有一天，大約是過(guò)了兩周之后，哈里已經(jīng)站在托尼雜志攤的柜臺(tái)后面，他開(kāi)始給托尼賣雜志。

　　I noticed that Harry always saw every person who came up the stairs.

　　我注意到哈里總要看看每個(gè)上樓的人。

　　One year passed, and another, then came yesterday. I heard a cry. The cry was from Harry and he was grabbed a girl. She was small and dark and her eyebrows came to a little point in the middle.

　　一年過(guò)去了，又一年，于是到了昨天，我聽(tīng)見(jiàn)了一聲叫喊。是哈里在叫，他抓住了一個(gè)女孩，她就在離我窗戶不到10英尺的地方。她個(gè)子小小的，黑黑的，眉心處有一個(gè)小點(diǎn)。

　　For a while they just hung there laughing and crying and saying. he tell her the many things he had done to find her. What apparently had happended three years before was that May had come by bus, not by train, and in her telegram she meant "bus station," not "railroad station." She had waited at the bus station for days and had spent all her money trying to find Harry. Finally she got a job typing.

　　好一會(huì)兒的時(shí)間他們就那么呆著，笑呀，哭呀。他告訴她自己為找她所做的許多事情。顯然，3年前梅是乘汽車而不是火車來(lái)的。她電報(bào)里指的是“汽車站”而不是“火車站”。她在汽車站等了好幾天，為找哈里花掉了所有的錢。最后，她找了一份打字的工作。

　　"What?" said Harry. "Have you been working in town? All the time?"

　　“什么?”哈里說(shuō)，“你在城里工作?一直都在?”

　　She nodded.

　　她點(diǎn)了點(diǎn)頭。

　　"Well, Heavens. Didn’t you ever come down here to the station?" He pointed across to his magazine stand. "I’ve been there all the time. I’ve watched everybody that came up the stairs."

　　“哎呀，老天爺——你就從來(lái)沒(méi)到這個(gè)車站來(lái)過(guò)?”他把手指向雜志攤。“我一直就在那兒。我看過(guò)每個(gè)上樓的人。”

　　She began to look a little pale. Pretty soon she looked over at the stairs and said in a weak voice, "I never came up the stairs before.,I went out of town yesterday on a short business trip. Oh, Harry!" Then she threw her arms around his neck and really began to cry.

　　她的臉色開(kāi)始變得有些蒼白。過(guò)了一會(huì)兒，她向樓梯看去，聲音微弱地說(shuō)：“我——我過(guò)去一直沒(méi)上這個(gè)樓梯。我昨天出城是去辦點(diǎn)公事——噢，哈里!”然后，她伸手摟住他的脖子，真的哭了起來(lái)。

　　After a minute she backed away and pointed toward the north end of the station. "Harry, for two years, for two solid years, I’ve been right over there working right in this very station, typing, in the office of the stationmaster."

　　過(guò)了一會(huì)兒，她往后一站，指著車站的最北頭。“哈里，2年來(lái)，整整2年，我就在那兒——就在這個(gè)車站工作，在站長(zhǎng)辦公室里，打字。”

　　What Courage Looks Like?

　　勇氣看起來(lái)是什么樣的?

　　I know what courage looks like. I saw it on a flight I took six years ago.

　　Minutes after we were airborne, our plane began dipping wildly and one wing lunged downward. The pilot soon made a grave announcement.

　　我知道真正的勇氣是什么樣子了,是6年前在一架航班上見(jiàn)識(shí)的。

　　在空中飛行不幾分鐘,飛機(jī)就一只機(jī)翼朝下,開(kāi)始瘋了似的下墜。飛行員很快就嚴(yán)肅地向乘客作了通報(bào)。

　　“We are having some difficulties,”he said.“we are not sure our landing gear will lock, so the flight attendants will prepare you for a bumpy landing.

　　“我們現(xiàn)在遇到了麻煩,” 他說(shuō)。“因?yàn)闆](méi)有液壓裝置,所以不能肯定起落架能不能固定得住。乘務(wù)人員將幫助你們作好著陸時(shí)防沖擊的準(zhǔn)備。”

　　In other words, we were about to crash.

　　也就是說(shuō),我們就要墜機(jī)了。

　　As I looked at the faces of my fellow travelers, I was stunned by the changes I saw in their faces. Everyone lost composure in one way or another.

　　我看了一下這些的旅伴們,大吃一驚地發(fā)現(xiàn)他們已經(jīng)神情突變。每個(gè)人都這般或那般地失態(tài)。

　　I began searching the crowd for one person who felt peace and calm that true courage or great faith gives people in these events. I saw no one. Then a couple of rows to my left, I heard a still calm voice, a woman's voice, speaking in an absolutely normal conversational tone. There was no tremor or tension. I had to find the source of this voice.

　　我的目光在人群中掃過(guò),看看有沒(méi)有人,在這種形勢(shì)下,仰賴其真正的勇氣和偉大的信仰,依然能保持沉著冷靜,但是沒(méi)發(fā)現(xiàn)一個(gè)。后來(lái),在左邊幾排遠(yuǎn)的地方,我聽(tīng)到了一個(gè)從容依舊的聲音,一位女性的聲音。語(yǔ)調(diào)絕對(duì)正常,就像普通聊天一樣,既沒(méi)有顫抖也沒(méi)有緊張,我想弄清這聲音是誰(shuí)發(fā)出的。

　　All around, people cried. Finally I saw her.

　　四周都有人在哭。許多人號(hào)啕著,尖叫著。最后,我看到了她。

　　In the midst of all the chaos, a mother was talking to her child. The woman, in her mid-30's and unremarkable looking in any other way, was staring full into the face of her daughter, who looked to be four years old. The child listened closely, sensing the importance of her mother's words. The mother's gaze held the child so fixed and intent that she seemed untouched by the sounds of grief and fear around her.

　　在一片混亂中,一位母親正在對(duì)著自己的孩子說(shuō)話。這位婦女35歲左右的樣子,無(wú)論怎么看都貌不出眾。她正目不轉(zhuǎn)睛地注視著女兒的臉,女兒看起來(lái)有4歲了。孩子察覺(jué)到了母親話的分量,正在全神貫注地聽(tīng)。母親凝視的目光讓孩子聽(tīng)得聚精會(huì)神,似乎一點(diǎn)也不為周圍人們哀傷和驚恐的聲音所動(dòng)。

　　A picture flashed into my mind of another little girl who had recently survived a terrible plane crash. Speculation had it that she had lived because her mother had strapped her own body over the little girl's in order to protect her.

　　我腦子里閃現(xiàn)出另一個(gè)小姑娘的形象,她是最近一場(chǎng)空難的幸存者。據(jù)推測(cè),她之所以能活下來(lái),全虧了母親用安全帶把她們捆在一起,把她壓在身下保護(hù)了她。

　　I strained to hear what this mother was telling her child. Over and over again, the mother said, “I love you so much. Do you know for sure that I love you more than anything﹖”

　　我竭力想聽(tīng)清眼前這位母親在告訴孩子些什么。母親一遍遍地說(shuō):“我十分愛(ài)你。你相信我愛(ài)你勝過(guò)一切嗎?”

　　“Yes, Mommy,” the little girl said.

　　“是的,媽媽,”小姑娘答道。

　　“And remember, no matter what happens, that I love you always.

　　“記住,不管發(fā)生什么事情,我永遠(yuǎn)愛(ài)你。

　　Then the mother put her body over her daughter's, strapped the seat belt over both of them and prepared to crash. For no earthly reason, our landing gear held and our touchdown was not the tragedy it seemed destined to be.

　　接著,母親便伏身遮住女兒,把座位上的安全帶系在兩個(gè)人身上,等待空難的降臨。如有神助一般,我們的起落架居然挺住了。原本似乎注定的著陸慘劇卻沒(méi)有發(fā)生。

　　The voice I heard that day never wavered, never acknowledged doubt, and maintained an evenness that seemed emotionally and physically impossible. Only the greatest courage, undergirded by even greater love, could have borne that mother up and lifted her above the chaos around her. That mom showed me what a real hero looks like. And for those few minutes, I heard the voice of courage.

　　那天我聽(tīng)到的那個(gè)聲音沒(méi)有絲毫的動(dòng)搖,沒(méi)有流露出半點(diǎn)猶豫。它擁有一份無(wú)論從感情上還是從身體上來(lái)講都令人難以置信的平和。只有最偉大的勇氣,再加上更博大的愛(ài)心的支撐,才使這位母親挺住了,超然于周圍的混亂之上。這位母親讓我見(jiàn)識(shí)了什么是真正的英雄本色。在那幾分鐘內(nèi),我聽(tīng)到的是勇敢發(fā)出的聲音。
