Vanity_Fair《名利场》第四十八章原文及翻译
CHAPTER XLVIIIIn Which the Reader Is Introduced to the V eryBest of CompanyAt last Becky's kindness and attention to the chief ofher husband's family were destined to meet with an exceeding great reward, a reward which, though certainly somewhat unsubstantial, the little woman coveted with greater eagerness than more positive benefits. If she did not wish to lead a virtuous life, at least she desired to enjoy a character for virtue, and we know that no ladyin the genteel world can possess this desideratum, until she has put on a train and feathers and has been presented to her Sovereign at Court. From that august interview they come out stamped as honest women. The Lord Chamberlain gives them a certificate of virtue. And as dubious goods or letters are passed through an ovenat quarantine, sprinkled with aromatic vinegar, and then pronounced clean, many a lady, whose reputation would be doubtful otherwise and liable to give infection, passes through the wholesome ordeal of the Royal presence and issues from it free from all taint.It might be very well for my Lady Bareacres, myLady Tufto, Mrs. Bute Crawley in the country, and other ladies who had come into contact with Mrs. Rawdon Crawley to cry fie at the idea of the odious little adventuress making her curtsey before the Sovereign, and to declare that, if dear good Queen Charlotte had been alive, she never would have admitted such an extremelyill-regulated personage into her chaste drawing-room. But when we consider that it was the First Gentleman in Europe in whose high presence Mrs. Rawdon passed her examination, and as it were, took her degree in reputation, it surely must be flat disloyalty to doubt any moreabout her virtue. I, for my part, look back with love and awe to that Great Character in history. Ah, what a high and noble appreciation of Gentlewomanhood there must have been in V anity Fair, when that revered and august being was invested, by the universal acclaim of the refined and educated portion of this empire, with the title of Premier Gentilhomme of his Kingdom. Do you remember, dear M--, oh friend of my youth, how one blissful night five-and-twenty years since, the "Hypocrite" being acted, Elliston being manager, Dowton and Liston performers, two boys had leave from their loyal mastersto go out from Slaughter-House School where they were educated and to appear on Drury Lane stage, amongst a crowd which assembled there to greet the king. THE KING? There he was. Beefeaters were before the august box; the Marquis of Steyne (Lord of the Powder Closet) and other great officers of state were behind the chair on which he sat, HE sat--florid of face, portly of person, covered with orders, and in a rich curling head of hair--how we sang God save him! How the house rocked and shouted with that magnificent music. How they cheered, and cried, and waved handkerchiefs. Ladies wept; mothers clasped their children; some fainted with emotion. People were suffocated in the pit, shrieks and groans rising up amidst the writhing and shouting mass there of his people who were, and indeed showed them- selves almost to be, ready to die for him. Y es, we saw him. Fate cannot deprive us of THA T. Others have seen Napoleon. Some few still exist who have beheld Frederick the Great, Doctor Johnson, Marie Antoinette, &c.--be itour reasonable boast to our children, that we saw George the Good, the Magnificent, the Great.Well, there came a happy day in Mrs. Rawdon Crawley's existence when this angel was admitted into theparadise of a Court which she coveted, her sister-in-law acting as her godmother. On the appointed day, Sir Pitt and his lady, in their great family carriage (just newly built, and ready for the Baronet's assumption of theoffice of High Sheriff of his county), drove up to the little house in Curzon Street, to the edification of Raggles, who was watching from his greengrocer's shop, and saw fine plumes within, and enormous bunches of flowers in the breasts of the new livery-coats of the footmen.Sir Pitt, in a glittering uniform, descended and wentinto Curzon Street, his sword between his legs. Little Rawdon stood with his face against the parlour window- panes, smiling and nodding with all his might to his auntin the carriage within; and presently Sir Pitt issued forth from the house again, leading forth a lady with grand feathers, covered in a white shawl, and holding updaintily a train of magnificent brocade. She stepped into the vehicle as if she were a princess and accustomed all herlife to go to Court, smiling graciously on the footman atthe door and on Sir Pitt, who followed her into thecarriage.Then Rawdon followed in his old Guards' uniform,which had grown woefully shabby, and was much too tight. He was to have followed the procession and waited upon his sovereign in a cab, but that his good-natured sister-in-law insisted that they should be a family party. The coach was large, the ladies not very big, they would hold their trains in their laps--finally, the four went fraternally together, and their carriage presently joinedthe line of royal equipages which was making its way down Piccadilly and St. James's Street, towards the old brick palace where the Star of Brunswick was in waitingto receive his nobles and gentlefolks.Becky felt as if she could bless the people out of the carriage windows, so elated was she in spirit, and so strong a sense had she of the dignified position whichshe had at last attained in life. Even our Becky had her weaknesses, and as one often sees how men pride themselves upon excellences which others are slow to perceive: how, for instance, Comus firmly believes that he is the greatest tragic actor in England; how Brown, thefamous novelist, longs to be considered, not a man of genius, but a man of fashion; while Robinson, the great lawyer, does not in the least care about his reputation in Westminster Hall, but believes himself incomparable across country and at a five-barred gate--so to be, andto be thought, a respectable woman was Becky's aim in life, and she got up the genteel with amazing assiduity, readiness, and success. We have said, there were times when she believed herself to be a fine lady and forgot that there was no money in the chest at home--duns round the gate, tradesmen to coax and wheedle--no ground to walk upon, in a word. And as she went to Court in the carriage, the family carriage, she adopted a demeanour so grand, self-satisfied, deliberate, and imposing that it made even Lady Jane laugh. She walked into the royal apartments with a toss of the head which would have befitted an empress, and I have no doubt had she been one, she would have become the character perfectly..We are authorized to state that Mrs. Rawdon Crawley's costume de cour on the occasion of her presentationto the Sovereign was of the most elegant and brilliantdescription. Some ladies we may have seen--wewho wear stars and cordons and attend the St. James's assemblies, or we, who, in muddy boots, dawdle up and down Pall Mall and peep into the coaches as they drive up with the great folks in their feathers--some ladies of fashion, I say, we may have seen, about two o'clock of the forenoon of a levee day, as the laced-jacketed bandof the Life Guards are blowing triumphal marches seated on those prancing music-stools, their cream-coloured chargers--who are by no means lovely and enticing objects at that early period of noon. A stout countess of sixty, decolletee, painted, wrinkled with rouge up to her drooping eyelids, and diamonds twinkling in her wig, is a wholesome and edifying, but not a pleasant sight. She has the faded look of a St. James's Street illumination, as it may be seen of an early morning, when half the lamps are out, and the others are blinking wanly, as if they were about to vanish like ghosts before the dawn. Such charms as those of which we catch glimpses while her ladyship's carriage passes should appear abroad at night alone. If even Cynthia looks haggard of an afternoon, as we may see her sometimes in the present winter season,with Phoebus staring her out of countenance from the opposite side of the heavens, how much more can old Lady Castlemouldy keep her head up when the sun is shining full upon it through the chariot windows, and showing all the chinks and crannies with which time has marked her face! No. Drawing-rooms should be announced for November, or the first foggy day, or the elderly sultanas of our V anity Fair should drive up in closed litters, descend in a covered way, and make their curtsey to the Sovereign under the protection of lamplight. Our beloved Rebecca had no need, however, of anysuch a friendly halo to set off her beauty. Her complexion could bear any sunshine as yet, and her dress, though if you were to see it now, any present lady of V anity Fair would pronounce it to be the most foolish and preposterous attire ever worn, was as handsome in her eyesand those of the public, some five-and-twenty years since, as the most brilliant costume of the most famous beautyof the present season. A score of years hence that too, that milliner's wonder, will have passed into the domainof the absurd, along with all previous vanities. But we are wandering too much. Mrs. Rawdon's dress waspronounced to be charmante on the eventful day of her presentation. Even good little Lady Jane was forced to acknowledge this effect, as she looked at her kinswoman, and owned sorrowfully to herself that she was quite inferior in taste to Mrs. Becky.9.She did not know how much care, thought, and genius Mrs. Rawdon had bestowed upon that garment. Rebecca had as good taste as any milliner in Europe, and such a clever way of doing things as Lady Jane little understood. The latter quickly spied out the magnificence of the brocade of Becky's train, and the splendour of the lace on her dress.The brocade was an old remnant, Becky said; and asfor the lace, it was a great bargain. She had had it these hundred years.11."My dear Mrs. Crawley, it must have cost a little fortune," Lady Jane said, looking down at her own lace, which was not nearly so good; and then examining the quality of the ancient brocade which formed the material of Mrs. Rawdon's Court dress, she felt inclined to say that she could not afford such fine clothing, but checked that speech, with an effort, as one uncharitableto her kinswoman.12.And yet, if Lady Jane had known all, I think even her kindly temper would have failed her. The fact is, when she was putting Sir Pitt's house in order, Mrs. Rawdon had found the lace and the brocade in old wardrobes,the property of the former ladies of the house, and had quietly carried the goods home, and had suited them to her own little person. Briggs saw her take them, asked no questions, told no stories; but I believe quite sympathised with her on this matter, and so wouldmany another honest woman.13.And the diamonds--"Where the doose did you get the diamonds, Becky?" said her husband, admiring some jewels which he had never seen before and which sparkled in her ears and on her neck with brilliance and profusion. Becky blushed a little and looked at him hard for a moment. Pitt Crawley blushed a little too, and looked out of window. The fact is, he had given her a very small portion of the brilliants; a pretty diamond clasp, which confined a pearl necklace which she wore- and the Baronet had omitted to mention the circumstance tohis lady.15.Becky looked at her husband, and then at Sir Pitt,with an air of saucy triumph--as much as to say, "ShallI betray you?""Guess!" she said to her husband. "Why, you silly man," she continued, "where do you suppose I got them? --all except the little clasp, which a dear friend of mine gave me long ago. I hired them, to be sure. I hired them at Mr. Polonius's, in Coventry Street. Y ou don't suppose that all the diamonds which go to Court belong to the wearers; like those beautiful stones which Lady Jane has, and which are much handsomer than any which I have,I am certain."They are family jewels," said Sir Pitt, again looking uneasy. And in this family conversation the carriage rolled down the street, until its cargo was finally discharged at the gates of the palace where the Sovereign was sitting in state.The diamonds, which had created Rawdon's admiration, never went back to Mr. Polonius, of Coventry Street, and that gentleman never applied for their restoration, butthey retired into a little private repository, in an old desk, which Amelia Sedley had given her years and years ago, and in which Becky kept a number of useful and, perhaps, valuable things, about which her husbandknew nothing. To know nothing, or little, is in the nature of some husbands. To hide, in the nature of how many women? Oh, ladies! how many of you have surreptitious milliners' bills? How many of you have gowns and bracelets which you daren't show, or which you wear trembling?--trembling, and coaxing with smiles the husband by your side, who does not know the new velvet gown from the old one, or the new bracelet from lastyear's, or has any notion that the ragged-looking yellow lace scarf cost forty guineas and that Madame Bobinot is writing dunning letters every week for the money!19.Thus Rawdon knew nothing about the brilliant diamond ear-rings, or the superb brilliant ornament which decorated the fair bosom of his lady; but Lord Steyne, who was in his place at Court, as Lord of the Powder Closet, and one of the great dignitaries and illustrious defences of the throne of England, and came up with allhis stars, garters, collars, and cordons, and paid particular attention to the little woman, knew whence the jewelscame and who paid for them.20.As he bowed over her he smiled, and quoted the hackneyed and beautiful lines from The Rape of the Lock about Belinda's diamonds, "which Jews might kiss and infidels adore.""But I hope your lordship is orthodox," said the littlelady with a toss of her head. And many ladies roundabout whispered and talked, and many gentlemen nodded and whispered, as they saw what marked attention thegreat nobleman was paying to the little adventuress.22.What were the circumstances of the interview between Rebecca Crawley, nee Sharp, and her Imperial Master,it does not become such a feeble and inexperienced penas mine to attempt to relate. The dazzled eyes close before that Magnificent Idea. Loyal respect and decency tell even the imagination not to look too keenly and audaciouslyabout the sacred audience-chamber, but to back away rapidly, silently, and respectfully, making profoundbows out of the August Presence.23.This may be said, that in all London there was no more loyal heart than Becky's after this interview. The name of her king was always on her lips, and he was proclaimed by her to be the most charming of men. She went to Colnaghi's and ordered the finest portrait of him that art had produced, and credit could supply. She chose that famous one in which the best of monarchs is represented in a frock-coat with a fur collar, and breeches and silk stockings, simpering on a sofa from under his curly brown wig. She had him painted in a brooch and wore it--indeed she amused and somewhat pestered heracquaintance with her perpetual talk about his urbanity and beauty. Who knows! Perhaps the little woman thought she might play the part of a Maintenon or a Pompadour.But the finest sport of all after her presentation was tohear her talk virtuously. She had a few female acquaintances, not, it must be owned, of the very highest reputationin V anity Fair. But being made an honest woman of,so to speak, Becky would not consort any longer withthese dubious ones, and cut Lady Crackenbury when the latter nodded to her from her opera-box, and gave Mrs. Washington White the go-by in the Ring. "One must, my dear, show one is somebody," she said. "One mustn't be seen with doubtful people. I pity Lady Crackenbury from my heart, and Mrs. Washington White may be a verygood-natured person. YOU may go and dine with them,as you like your rubber. But I mustn't, and won't; andyou will have the goodness to tell Smith to say I am notat home when either of them calls."The particulars of Becky's costume were in the newspapers--feathers, lappets, superb diamonds, and all therest. Lady Crackenbury read the paragraph in bitternessof spirit and discoursed to her followers about the airswhich that woman was giving herself. Mrs. Bute Crawley and her young ladies in the country had a copy of the Morning Post from town, and gave a vent to their honestindignation. "If you had been sandy-haired, green-eyed,and a French rope-dancer's daughter," Mrs. Bute saidto her eldest girl (who, on the contrary, was a veryswarthy, short, and snub-nosed young lady), "Y ou mighthave had superb diamonds forsooth, and have beenpresented at Court by your cousin, the Lady Jane. But you'reonly a gentlewoman, my poor dear child. Y ou have onlysome of the best blood in England in your veins, andgood principles and piety for your portion. I, myself,the wife of a Baronet's younger brother, too, neverthought of such a thing as going to Court--nor wouldother people, if good Queen Charlotte had been alive."In this way the worthy Rectoress consoled herself, andher daughters sighed and sat over the Peerage all night.译文蓓基对于克劳莱的一家之主那一番关切和殷勤，总算得到了极大的酬报。

式,往往容易译成“当……的时候”,而汉语是很少用这样句式的。
在这里杨必先生省掉‘when…’不译,而将此句译成“我们在前一章里已经提到夏泼小姐勇敢的行为”,‘fall at length at the feet of the astonished miss Jemima’此句采用了拆译法,将‘astonished miss Jemima’译成一个单句“把她吓了一大跳”。
此段中有一个定语从句‘which had before worn an almost livid look of hatred ,’我们极易对应汉语的句式译成“……的”,而这样不符合汉语行文善用短句的习惯,杨必先生译成“只是这笑容比起方才恶狠狠铁青的脸色来……”。
When Rebecca saw the two magnificent Cashmere shawls which Joseph Sedley had brought home to his sister , she said ,with perfect truth,’that it must be delightful to have a brother,’and easily got the pity ofthe tender-hearted Amelia, for being alone in the world, and orphan without friends or kindred .译文:利蓓加看了乔瑟夫·塞特笠给妹妹买来的两块华丽的细羊毛披肩,说道:“有个哥哥真好啊!”这话说得入情入理。
她自己爹娘早死,又没有亲友,真是孤苦伶仃。
软心肠的爱米丽亚听了这话立刻觉得她可怜。
这一段‘with perfect truth’也是采用拆译法,并未按原文句式译成状语,而是译为一个独立的句子“这话说得入情入理”,接下来作了语序调整,先说“她自己爹娘早死,又没有亲友,真是孤苦伶仃。
《名利场》中佳句赏析
《名利场》中佳句赏析1.名利场中的经典段落Years ago, when I started looking for my first job, wise advisers urged, "Barbara, be enthusiastic! Enthusiasm will take you further than any amount of experience." How right they were. Enthusiastic people can turn a boring drive into an adventure, extra work into opportunity and strangers into friends. 多年前，当我第一次找工作时，不少明智之士强烈向我建议：“巴巴拉，要有热情！热情比任何经验都更有益。
”这话多么正确，热情的人可以把沉闷的车程变成探险，把加班变成机会，把生人变成朋友。
"Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm," wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson. It is the paste that helps you hang in there when the going gets tough. It is the inner voice that whispers, "I can do it!" when others shout, "No, you can't." “没有热情就不会有任何伟大的成就，” 拉尔夫-沃尔多-爱默生写道当事情进展不顺时，热情是帮助你坚持下去的粘合剂当别人叫喊“你不行”时，热情是你内心发出的声音：“我能行”。
It took years and years for the early work of Barbara McClintock, a geneticist who won the 1983 Nobel Prize in medicine, to be generally accepted. Yet she didn't let up on her experiments. Work was such a deep pleasure for her that she never thought of stopping. 1983年诺贝尔医学奖的获得者遗传学家巴巴拉-麦克林托克早年的工作直到很多年后才被公众所承认但她并没有放弃实验工作对她来说是一种如此巨大的快乐，她从未想过要停止它。

名利场（节选）
名利场（节选）作者：威廉·梅克比斯·萨克雷来源：《阅读（书香天地）》2020年第10期威廉·梅克比斯·萨克雷（1811-1863），英国作家，其作品对英国社会的种种势利风尚、投机冒险和金钱关系进行了极为深刻的揭露。
他著有多部小说、诗歌、散文、小品，以特写集《势利人脸谱》和代表作长篇小说《名利场》最为有名。
最要紧的，我们先得描写怎么能够不出钱租房子。
出租的房屋分两种：一种是不连家具的，只要吉洛士的铺子或是班丁的铺子肯让你赊账，你就能完全依照自己的意思把屋子富丽堂皇的装璜陈设起来;第二种是连家具出租的，租这种房子，为大家都省事省麻烦。
克劳莱夫妇愿意租的就是这一种。
鲍尔斯在派克街管酒窖当听差头脑之前，克劳莱小姐曾经雇过一个拉哥尔斯先生。
他生长在女王的克劳莱庄地上，原是本家花匠的小儿子。
他品行端方，举止庄重，相貌长得整齐，小腿生得匀称，因此渐渐从洗刀叉的打杂做到站在马车背后的跟班，一直升到掌管酒窖和伙食房的总管。
他在克劳莱小姐府上做了几年管事，工钱又大，外快又多，攒钱的机会也不少，便公开说要和克劳莱小姐以前的厨娘结婚。
这厨娘相当有体面;她有一架轧布机，附近还开了一家小小的菜蔬铺子，靠着过活。
事实上他们好几年前就秘密结了婚，不过克劳莱小姐直到看见了一男一女两个孩子才知道拉哥尔斯先生成亲的事。
这两个孩子一个八岁一个七岁，老在他们厨房里，引起了布立葛丝小姐的注意。
此后拉哥尔斯便退休了，亲自掌管着那菜蔬铺子。
除掉蔬菜以外，他又卖牛奶、奶油、鸡子儿和乡下运来的猪肉。
大多数退休的管事都开酒店卖酒，他却只卖乡下的土产。
附近一带的管事们都和他相熟，而且他又有个舒服的后客厅，夫妇俩常常招待他们，所以他的同僚中人替他销去不少牛奶、奶油和鸡子儿;他的进益也就一年比一年多。
他不声不响一点儿一点儿地攒钱，年年一样。
梅飞厄的克生街二百零一号本来是一位弗莱特立克·杜西斯先生的公馆。
这屋子很舒服，陈设也齐备，为单身汉子住家最合适。
《名利场》原文片段与译文赏析
《名利场》原文片段与译文赏析中国古典小说《名利场》是明朝笔墨著名作家陆游的代表作。
小说以京城为背景，主要讲述了英雄曹策一心追求得道取名的典型故事。
下面来读读小说中的一段原文，并欣赏一下这段文字的精彩译文。
原文：“一来到了京城，曹策发现满城繁荣。
九宫宫门，飞檐走壁，五彩缤纷，精致绝伦；人流参差，嘈杂不绝；群芳争艳，忙忙碌碌；一派繁华热闹，此起彼伏，令人啧啧称奇。
”译文：一到京城，曹策发现这里非常繁华。
他看到九宫宫门，檐上在走走停停；五彩斑斓，雕刻精美；人们来来去去，喧哗不止；各种鲜花美妙绝伦；四处热闹，繁荣多姿，令人惊叹不已。
该段文字描绘的是明朝繁华的京城，拥有的繁复景象让人眼前一亮，令人赞叹不已。
九宫宫门，檐上的走走停停，五彩斑斓精致的雕刻，现代人看到这样的景象可能有些难以想象，但正是这些特点使得明朝的京城更加可贵而著名。
小说细节处处流露出明朝社会的复杂性，不仅有分层析构，更描绘出各个阶层之间的联系。
陆游著重人物性格的描写，给出了他对明朝人文发展的审视。
朝廷权贵英明壮丽，但也有暴躁易怒的一面；贵族子弟的智慧与胆略，但也有好斗姓氏的宿命；而且也有山野风趣的山民，令人感到不可思议。
这种看似复杂的人性混杂，也正是《名利场》令人难忘的地方。
此外，《名利场》还把古人对名利成神的崇拜牢牢描绘出来，这种信仰为中国人崇拜名利，抱拥着创造一番大事业的理想而付出努力提供了源动力。
从曹策以及其他人物的追求中，可以看出中国古人对名利的热爱以及追求。

翻译评析参考译文
她身量瘦小，脸色苍白，头发是淡黄色的。
她惯常低垂眉目，抬起眼来看人时，眼睛显得很特别，不但大，而且动人。
契息克的弗拉活丢牧师手下有一个副牧师，名叫克里斯泼，刚从牛津大学毕业，竟因此爱上了她。
夏泼小姐的眼风穿过契息克教堂，从学校的包座直射到牧师的讲台上，一下子就把克里斯泼牧师结果了。
这个昏了头的小伙子曾经由他妈妈介绍给平克顿小姐，偶然也到她学校里去喝茶。
他托那个独眼的买苹果女人给他传递情书，被人发现，信里的话简直等于向夏泼小姐求婚。
克里斯泼太太得到消息，连忙从勃克斯登赶来，立刻把她的宝贝儿子带走。
平克顿小姐想到自己的鸽笼里藏了一只老鹰，不由得心慌意乱，若不是有约在先，真想把她赶走。
那女孩竭力辩白，说她只是在平克顿小姐监视之下和克里斯泼先生在茶会上见过两次面，从来没有跟他说过话。
她虽然这么说，平克顿小姐仍旧将信将疑。
（杨必译）
奥斯本先生自信是风月场上的能手，注定是太太小姐的心上人，因此不愿意跟命运闹别扭，洋洋自得的顺着定数做人。
艾米不爱多说话，也不把心里的妒忌去麻烦他，只不过私底下自卑自叹的伤心罢了。
虽然他的朋友都知道他和克劳莱太太眉来眼去，下死劲地兜搭，他自己只算艾米丽亚是不知就里的。
利倍加一有空闲，他就骑着马陪她去兜风。
对爱米丽亚，她只说联队里有事，爱米丽亚也明明知道他在撒谎。
他把妻子仍在一边，有时让她独自一个人，有时把她交给她哥哥，自己却一黄昏一黄昏的跟克劳莱夫妇俩混在一起。
他把钱输给丈夫，还自以为那妻子在为他销魂。
看来这对好夫妻并没有同谋协议，明白规定有女的哄着小伙子，再由男的跟他斗牌赢他的钱。
反正他们俩心里有数，罗登听凭奥斯本出出进进，一点也不生气。
