益母草泡脚
  [美]厄内斯特·海明威
  In the late summer of that year we lived in a house in a village that looked across the river and the plain to the mountains. In the bed of the river there were pebbles and boulders, dry and white in the sun, and the water was clear and swiftly moving and blue in the channels. Troops went by the house and down the road and the dust they raised powdered the leaves of the trees. The trunks of the trees too were dusty and the leaves fell early that year and we saw the troops marching along the road and the dust rising and leaves, stirred by the breeze, falling and the soldiers marching and afterward the road bare and white except for the leaves.
那年夏天,我们住在乡下的一所房子里,可以看到河对岸的山和平原。河床里的鹅卵石和巨砾在阳光的照射下是干白的,清澈的河水湍急,使河水变成了蓝。部队沿着房子向大路前进,扬起滚滚尘土,覆盖了树叶和树枝。那年树叶落得早,我们看着部队在路上行进,尘土飞扬。微风吹落了树叶,只留下落叶在战士们走过的路上,一眼望去,白茫茫一片,空荡荡的。
  The plain was rich with crops; there were many orchards of fruit trees and beyond the plain the mountains were brown and bare. There was fighting in the mountains and at night we could see the flashes from the artillery. In the dark it was like summer lightning, but the nights were cool and there was not the feeling of a storm ing.端午节是什么节
  平原上的庄稼长势良好,有许多果园;而平原外的山峦,则是满目褐黄,光秃秃一片。山谷里战斗打得正紧,夜里我们还能看到炮火。黑暗中,这番情景酷似夏季的闪电,只是现在夜里凉快些,人们觉察不到夏天暴风雨来临前的那种闷热罢了。
  Sometimes in the dark we heard the troops marching under the window and guns going past pulled by motor-tractors. There was much traffic at night and many mules on the roa陶罐和铁罐教案
ds with boxes of ammunition on each side of their pack-saddles and gray motor-trucks that carried men,: and other trucks with loads covered with canvas that moved slower in the traffic. There were big guns too mat passed in the day drawn by tractors, the long barrels of the guns covered with green branches and green leafy branches and vines laid over the tractors. To the north we could look across a valley and see a forest of chestnut trees and behind it another mountain on this side of the river. There was fighting for that mountain too, but it was not successful, and in the fall when the rains came the leaves all fell from the chestnut trees and the branches were bare and the trunks black with rain. The vineyards were thin and bare, branched too and all the country wet and brown and dead with the autumn.There were mists over the river and clouds on the mountain and trucks splashed mud on the road and the troops were muddy and wet in their capes; their rifles were wet and under their capes the two leather cartridge-boxes on the front of belts, gray leather boxes heavy with the packs of clips of thin, long 6.5mm. cartridges, bulged forward under the capes so that the men, passing on the road, marched as though they were six months gone with child.
  有时在夜中,我们能听见部队从窗下走过,摩托牵引机拖着大炮发出的声响声声入耳。夜里的交通颇为繁忙,路上有很多驮着弹药箱的骡子,运送士兵的灰卡车,还有一种开得稍缓慢的卡车,运载的东西被帆布盖着。白天也有用牵引车运送的重炮,翠绿的树枝遮盖着长长的炮管,郁郁葱葱、繁茂的枝条和葡萄藤把整个车身都覆盖了。朝北望是片山谷,山谷后面有一片栗树树林,林子后面,也就是在河的这一边,又有一座高山。这座高山里也曾经发生过交战,只是没有成功。一到秋天,雨水就连绵而至,山上栗树的叶子掉得精光,只剩下赤裸的树枝,还有那被雨水打得漆黑的树干。葡萄园中也是枯枝败叶,稀疏光秃;乡间的每一样东西都是湿润的,目光所至,皆是一片萧瑟的秋意。雾气弥漫着河流,浮云在山涧萦绕,路上卡车驶过处泥浆飞溅,士兵们顶着湿漉漉的披肩,浑身都是烂泥;他们的也被淋湿了,每个人身前的皮带都挂着两个灰皮子弹盒,里面排满了又长又窄的6.5毫米口径的子弹,鼓鼓囊囊地盖在披肩下,走在路上,乍一看,他们就像是一怀胎六月的妇人。

  Winter Walk冬日漫步
  Henry David Thoreau
高三学生评语
  [美]亨利·大卫·梭罗
  The wind has gently murmured through the blinds,or puffed with feathery softness against the windows,and occasionally sighed like a summer zephyr lifting the leaves along, the livelong night. The meadow mouse has slept in his snug gallery in the sod, the owl has sat in a hollow tree in the depth of the swamp,the rabbit, the squirrel,and the fox have all been housed. The watch-dog has lain quiet on the hearth,and the cattle have stood silent in their stalls. The earth itself has slept, as it were its first,not its last sleep,save when some street sign or woodhouse door has faintly creaked upon its hinge,cheering forlorn nature at her midnight work-the only sound awake twixt Venus and Mars-advertising us of a remote inward warmth,a divine cheer and fellowship,where gods are met together,but where it is very bleak for men to stand.But while the earth has slumbered,all the air has been alive with feathery flakes descending,as if some northern Ceres reigned,showering her silvery grain over all the fields.
  微风缓缓地吹着百叶窗,吹在窗上,非常温柔,像羽毛似的;偶尔也会犹如几声叹息,听起来像夏日漫漫长夜里风轻抚着树叶的声音。在铺着草皮的地下,田鼠正在地洞里呼呼大睡,猫头鹰则在沼泽地深处的一棵空心树里蹲着,兔子、松鼠、狐狸都呆在家里。看门的狗静静地躺在暖炉旁,牛羊在栏里悄无声息。连大地都在沉睡—但这不是寿终正寝,而是忙碌一年后第一次美美地睡上一觉。夜已经深了,大自然还在忙碌着,只有街上一些招牌或小木屋的门轴不时嘎吱嘎吱地响,给沉寂的大自然来一点慰藉。也只有这些声音,预示着在茫茫宇宙中,在金星和火星之间,天地万物中还有一些是清醒的。我们想起了看似遥远却也许近在心中的“温暖感觉”,还有那些只有天神们在相聚时才能感受到的—一种神圣的鼓舞和难得的交情,而这些对于凡人是不胜苍凉的。大地此刻在酣睡,可是空气还很活跃,鹅毛大雪漫天飞舞,好像是一个北方的五谷女神,正在把她的银种子撒在我们的田野上。
  We sleep,and at length awake to the still reality of a winter morning.The snow lies warm as cotton or down upon the window sill:the broadened sash and frosted panes admit a dim and private light, which enhances the snug cheer within. The stillness of the morning is impressive. The floor creaks under our feet as we move toward the window to look abr

oad through some clear space over the fields,we see the roofs stand under their snow burden. From the eaves and fences hang stalactites of snow, and in the yard stand stalagmites covering some concealed core. The trees and shrubs rear white arms to the sky on every side;and where were walls and fences,we see fantastic forms stretching in frolic gambols across the dusky landscape,as if Nature had strewn her fresh designs over the fields by night as models for man's art.
