（L10）（上）P142

Some men drew the first slip which touched their fingers; others seemed to suspect that fate was trying to force on them a particular slip and when they bad drawn one a little way from the shoe would let it drop again and choose another. Time passed with incredible slowness, and the man called Voisin sat against the wall with the unlighted cigarette in his mouth paying them no attention at all.

有些人抽自己手指头碰到的第一个纸了。另一些人似乎怀疑是命运在试图强迫他们抽某一特定的纸条，因此当他们刚把一个纸条从鞋里抽出一点，又扔回去，再选另一张。时间过得令人难以置信地缓慢。叫瓦赞的那个人背靠着墙坐着，嘴上叼着未点燃的烟，丝毫没注意他人。

（L11）（上）P159

I imagined the picture on the wall without difficulty, and gave it a few deft touches, but this set me thinking of pictures in general, and then I remembered an art exhibition I had attended with my friend T. and what he said, and what I said, and I wondered how T. was faring these days, and whether his son was still at school. And so it went on, until I found myself meditating on cheese, or spiritualism, or the Rocky Mountains—but no sleep!

我想象挂在墙上的画倒是没有问题，然后我熟练地去扶正它。这会使我想到通常见到的画，然后我想起一个艺术展，那是和我的朋友T一起去的。我记得他说过什么话，然后我又说了什么话，然后我开始想T这一段时间会怎么样了，他的儿子是否还在念书。就这样继续下去，直到我不知不觉地想到奶酪或是唯灵论，或者落基山脉——就是睡不着！

（L6）（上）P76

When she saw that I didn’t like her reference to “people like you”, she stopped for a moment and then put he r hand on my arm. “Listen,” she said, “Magpie is happy new, finally. He is in good spirits, handsome and free and strong. He sits at the drum and sings with his brothers: he’s okay now. When he was saying all those things against the government and against the council, he became more and more ugly and embittered and I used to be afraid for him. But I’m not now. Please, why don’t you just leave it alone now?”

当她发现我不喜欢她提到“像你这样的人”时，她停了一下，然后把手放到我的胳膊上，说：“听我说，现在喜鹊终于高兴起来了。他情绪很好，很英俊、很自由、也很健壮。他和兄弟们一起坐在皮鼓前唱歌，他现在很正常。他总是说那些反对政府．反对印第安人事务委员会的话，说那些话时他就变得越来越可怕，越来越恼怒。我过去常因此而为他担忧，可是我现在不那样了。哦，我们还是顺其自然吧。”

（L9）（上）P 124

The viewer is on a perpetual guided tour: 30 t the museum, 30 at the cathedral, 30 for a drink, then back on the bus to the next attraction—-except on television., typically, the spans allotted arc on the order of minutes or seconds, and the chosen delights are more often car crashes and people killing one another. In short, a lot of television usurps one of the most precious of all human gifts, the ability to focus your attention yourself, rather than just passively surrender it.

观众被领着进行无限期的游览：30分钟看博物馆，30分钟看大教堂，30分钟喝饮料，然后又回到车上，到下一个参观点。但是电视的时间是按分秒来计算的，而且所选的欣赏内

容多是车祸和人与人之间的相互残杀。总之，许多电视节目剥夺了人类才能中最可贵的一面。即能够主动地集中自己的注意力，而不只是被动地放弃。

（L7）（上）P94

It was exactly like a play. Who could believe the sky at the back wasn’t painted? But it wasn’t till a little brown dog trotted on solemnly and then slowly trotted off, like a little “theatre” dog, a little dog that had been drugged, that Miss Brill discovered what it was that made it so exciting. They were all on the stage. They weren’t only the aud ience, not only looking on; they were acting.

就像是一出戏。简直就像一出戏。谁能说远处的天空不是画出来的布景呢？但她一时还没弄清楚是什么使这一切如此令人神往。后来，有一条棕色的小狗一本正经地跑来，又缓缓地跑开，活像一个“戏台上”的狗，一个吃了蒙药的狗。这时布里尔小姐才领悟出个中奥妙。原来大家全在舞台上。他们不仅是观众，不仅是看戏的，也都是演戏的。

（下）（L16）P285

They began diving again and again from a high point into a well of blue sea between rough, pointed rocks. After they had dived and come up, they swam round, hauled themselves up, and waited their turn to dive again. They were big boys - men to Jerry. He dived, and they watched him, and when he swam round to take his place, they made way for him. He felt he was accepted, and he dived again, carefully, proud of himself.

他们开始一次接一次地跳水，从高处跳进了被尖而粗糙的岩石包围着的蓝色的像井一样的一片海中，他们跳入水中又浮出水面，然后在周围游着。再爬上岩石等着自己的下一次跳水机会。他们都是大男孩——在杰里看来他们都是大人。杰里跳时，他们都看着他。当杰里游了一圈，爬上岩石准备再跳时，他们赶快给他让地方，杰里感觉到自己已经被他们接纳了。他小心翼翼地再次跳入水中，心里充满了自豪。

（下）（L7）P 110

In her crib, Bonnie whimpered at the sight of her mother being seized. Ace fitted his hand into the natural place on Evey’s back and she shuffled stiffly into his lead. When, with a sudden injection of saxophones, the tempo quickened, he spun her out carefully, keeping the beat with his shoulders .

在她的小床里，邦尼看见妈妈被抓住就呜呜地哭了。埃斯将手放在埃维背上该放的地方，埃维僵硬地脚拖着地跟他跳着舞。当音乐中突然加入了萨克斯管，节奏变快时，他小心地将她旋转起来，耸动着双肩打着拍子。

（下）（L5）P 68

When it dropped below zero last night I thought I ‘d better send Frank out this morning to make a fire for us ----no use getting pneumonia with a big case on , but I told him not to touch anything except the stove ----and you know Frank .

昨晚温度降到零度以下时，我想最好派弗兰克今早来给我们生上火，——在办大案时得
