好句翻译与赏析
1.Because men, groping in the Arctic darkness, had found a yellow metal, and because steamship and transportation companies were booming the find, thousands of men were rushing into the Northland.
好句翻译:这是因为在北极的无边黑暗里摸索探寻的人们发现了一种诱人的黄色金属;也因为轮船交通公司的大肆宣传 , 成千上万的淘金者正蜂拥而至 。
2.It stood back from the road, half hidden among the trees, through which glimpses could be caught of the wide cool veranda that ran around its four sides. The house was approached by gravelled driveways which wound about through wide-spreading lawns and under the interlacing boughs of tall poplars.
好句翻译:它远离大路 , 绿树掩映 , 透过斑斑驳驳的树影 , 依稀能看到那环绕房子四周、给人带来阴凉的宽阔遮沿 。 砾石子铺就的小径曲曲折折穿过开阔草坪 , 直抵门口 , 任由交织成阴的杨树投下婆娑凉影 。
【 其中拟人的写景手法:stood back, ran around its four sides, the house was approached by…】
3.He plunged into the swimming tank or went hunting with the Judge’s sons; he escorted Mollie and Alice, the Judge’s daughters, on long twilight or early morning rambles; on wintry nights he lay at the Judge’s feet before the roaring library fire.
好句翻译:他与法官的儿子们一同扎进游泳池 , 一同出猎;他陪伴法官的女儿茉莉和爱丽丝在晨曦或薄暮漫步;数九寒冬的夜晚 , 他就依偎在法官脚边 , 烘烤着资料室里熊熊的炉火 。
【 这个句子用一系列 排比句勾勒出巴克优渥而充实的早年生活图景;其中 一系列动词的使用更是使画面如在眼前 。】
4.Hunting and kindred outdoor delights had kept down the fat and hardened his muscles; and to him, as to the cold-tubbing races, the love of water had been a tonic and a health preserver.
好句翻译:出猎和其他类似的户外活动让他免于变得肥头大耳 , 反而筋骨强健;对他来说 , 就像那些喜欢冷水浴的物种们一样 , 对水的情有独钟成了他的补药和保健品 。
【 此句将巴克对水的喜爱 比做补药与滋补品 ,化抽象为具体 , 也为后面章节中巴克进入蛮荒后的出色表现 埋下伏笔 。 】
5.But to his surprise the rope tightened around his neck, shutting off his breath. In quick rage he sprang at the man, who met him halfway, grappled him close by the throat, and with a deft twist threw him over on his back. Then the rope tightened mercilessly, while Buck struggled in a fury, his tongue lolling out of his mouth and his great chest panting futilely. Never in all his life had he been so vilely treated, and never in all his life had he been so angry. But his strength ebbed, his eyes glazed, and he knew nothing when the train was flagged and the two men threw him into the baggage car.
