But I would not hate you. Every day I said?to myself, “ I must keep Love in my heart today, else?how shall I live through the day.” I reminded?myself that you meant no evil, to me at any?rate: I set myself to think that you had but drawn?a bow at a venture, and that the arrow had pierced a?King between the joints?of the harness. To have?weighed you against the smallest of my sorrows, the?meanest of my losses, would have been, I felt, unfair.?I determined I would regard you as one suffering too.?I forced myself to believe that at last the scales had?fallen from your long-blinded eyes. I used to fancy,?and with pain, what your horror must have been?when you [w=contemplate]contemplated[/w] your terrible handiwork.?There were times, even in those dark days, the?darkest of all my life, when I actually longed to?[w]console[/w] you. So sure was I that at last you had?realised what you had done. 【朱純深譯本】 在我那可怕的刑判下來后,當(dāng)囚衣披上身、牢房關(guān)上門之后,我坐在自己燦爛生活的廢墟中,痛苦使我肝膽俱裂,恐懼使我不知所措,疼痛又令我眼冒金星。但我不會(huì)恨你的。每天我都對(duì)自己說:“今天我必須把愛留存心間, 否則這一天怎么過?”我提醒自己說你是不懷惡意的,不管怎樣,對(duì)我是不懷惡意的。我要自己認(rèn)為,你不過是貿(mào)然張弓,是箭鏃射中了一個(gè)國王,穿進(jìn)他鎧甲的連接處。要是連我憂傷中之最輕者、損失中之最小者都拿出來同你計(jì)較,我覺得,是不公平的。我決心把你也看作是患難者,強(qiáng)迫自己相信,那長(zhǎng)久蒙蔽你眼睛的陰翳終于消解了。我曾常常不無心痛地懸想,當(dāng)你思量自己一手造成的可怕后果時(shí),會(huì)是多么的驚懼。即使在那黑暗的日子里,那些我一生中最黑暗的日子里,也有些時(shí)候我當(dāng)真渴望能去安慰你,那樣確信你終于領(lǐng)悟到了自己的所作所為。 【讀書筆記】 1、sentence?n.判決;課刑 v.宣判;使遭受 【舉例】He was under the sentence of death.?他被判了死刑。 He was sentenced to two years at hard labour.?他被判服兩年苦役。 sentence these primitive cultures to extinction 使那些原始文化遭到毀滅? 2、at any rate?無論如何;至少。相當(dāng)于“at all rates”。 【舉例】I must go at any rate.?無論如何我都要去。 She is at any rate pleasant to look at.??她至少長(zhǎng)得還不錯(cuò)。 3、at a venture?胡亂地;碰巧;未經(jīng)考慮地 【舉例】A successor was chosen at a venture.?隨便挑選了一位繼承人。 4、weigh v.稱……的重量;認(rèn)真考慮;權(quán)衡,比較 【舉例】weigh the risks 認(rèn)真考慮所冒的風(fēng)險(xiǎn) weigh a plan against another 權(quán)衡兩個(gè)計(jì)劃的優(yōu)劣 weigh the pros and cons 比較正反兩面意見 5、fancy v.想象;(無根據(jù)地)猜想 【舉例】Can you fancy yourself on the moon? 你能想象自己在月球上嗎?

They do?not acquire the thoughts or passions appropriate to?the sphere they enter. It is not in their power to do so.?Emotional forces, as I say somewhere in?Intentions, are as limited in extent and [w]duration[/w]?as the forces of physical energy.

There is no error more common?than that of thinking that those who are the causes or?occasions of great tragedies share in the feelings?suitable to the tragic mood: no error more fatal than?expecting it of them. The martyr in his “shirt of?flame” may be looking on the face of God,?but to him who is piling the?[w=faggot]faggots[/w]?or loosening?the logs for the blast the whole scene is no more than the slaying of an ox is to the butcher, or the?felling of a tree to the charcoal-burner in the?forest, or the fall of a flower to one who is mowing?down the grass with a [w]scythe[/w]. Great passions?are for the great of soul, and great events can be seen?only by those who are on a level with them. 【朱純深譯本】 那些舍棄了他們正當(dāng)?shù)姆秶娜耍淖兊牟贿^是他們的周圍環(huán)境,而非他們的本性。他們并沒有獲得所進(jìn)入的那個(gè)范圍要求的思想或激情。他們做不到這一點(diǎn)。情感力量正如我在《意圖》一書里什么地方說的,在時(shí)空范圍上同物理能量的力一樣有限。小小一個(gè)杯子,造出來為了裝這一點(diǎn)便只能裝這一點(diǎn), 再多就不行了, 哪怕是勃艮第紫色的酒桶個(gè)個(gè)裝滿了葡萄酒,西班牙嶙峋的葡萄園采摘的葡萄堆到了踩榨工人的膝蓋。最普遍的錯(cuò)誤莫過于以為那些引起或促成偉大悲劇的人,都同樣懷著與那悲劇氣氛相合的情感:沒有比這個(gè)要他們情感相通的錯(cuò)誤更致命了。那披著“ 火之裳” 的殉道者也許在仰望著上帝的臉,但是對(duì)那個(gè)在堆放柴捆、松木條要執(zhí)行火刑的人,整個(gè)場(chǎng)面不過如屠夫殺死一條牛、燒炭人伐倒一棵樹、揮鐮割草的人劈落一朵花罷了。偉大的激情是留給偉大的靈魂的,偉大的事件只有與之水平相當(dāng)?shù)娜瞬拍芾斫狻?【讀書筆記】 1、appropriate?a.合適的;相稱的(+to/for) 【舉例】a flashy style appropriate to Paris?與巴黎相稱的浮華形式 Plain, simple clothes are appropriate for school wasr.?簡(jiǎn)樸的服裝適合上學(xué)時(shí)穿。 2、occasion n.起因;理由 【舉例】There's no occasion to complain.?沒有理由抱怨。 The real causes of the strike are not clear, but the occasion was the dismissal of three workmen.?罷工的真正原因尚不清楚,但起因是3個(gè)工人的解雇。 3、slay?v.(書面語)殺死;(常用被動(dòng)語態(tài),用于新聞報(bào)道)殺害 【舉例】slay one's enemy?殺死敵人 Two visitors were brutually slain yesterday.?昨天有兩名游客慘遭殺害。 《自深深處》讀書筆記系列>> 點(diǎn)擊進(jìn)入滬江下載庫下載《自深深處》雙語版 >> 品味更多好書,歡迎關(guān)注“英語文學(xué)館”>>

Had our life together?been as the world fancied it to be, one simply of?pleasure, [w]profligacy[/w] and laughter, I would not be able?to recall a single passage in it. It is because it was?full of moments and days tragic, bitter, [w]sinister[/w] in?their warnings, dull or dreadful in their monotonous?scenes and unseemly violence, that I can see or hear?each separate incident in its detail, can indeed see?or hear little else.?So much in this place do men live by pain that my friendship with you, in the way through which I am forced to remember it, appears to me always as a prelude [w]consonant[/w] with those varying modes of anguish which each day I have to realise; nay more, to [w]necessitate[/w] them even; as though my life, whatever it had seemed to myself and to others, had all the while been a real Symphony of Sorrow, passing through its rhythmically-linked movements to its certain resolution, with that inevitableness that in Art characterises the treatment of every great theme. 【孫宜學(xué)譯本】 在我自己與快樂的回憶之間存在著一道同我自己和實(shí)際的快樂之間同樣深的鴻溝。如果我們?cè)谝黄饡r(shí)的生活確實(shí)如人們想像的那樣,只有快樂、奢侈、笑聲,我會(huì)一點(diǎn)也回憶不起來的。就是因?yàn)槟欠N生活無時(shí)無刻不充滿著悲劇性的痛苦、險(xiǎn)惡、愚蠢或可怕的單調(diào)乏味的爭(zhēng)吵和不體面的褻瀆,我才能詳細(xì)地看到或聽到其中每一個(gè)彼此分離的事件,實(shí)際上我也已不可能看到或聽到其他的什么東西了。生活在監(jiān)獄里的人需要那么多的痛苦才能生活下去,結(jié)果迫使我每天都不得不把我們的友誼變換成各種不同的痛苦方式,盡管有時(shí)并不必要。不管我自己和別人是如何看待我現(xiàn)在的處境,我的生活似乎一直就是一首真正的"悲哀交響曲",慢慢地經(jīng)過以節(jié)奏聯(lián)接的種種樂章達(dá)到它的轉(zhuǎn)變,并且?guī)е谒囆g(shù)中作為處理一切重大主題的特征的那種必然性。 【朱純深譯本】 我與記憶中的歡樂之間,隔著一道深淵,其深不亞于我和現(xiàn)實(shí)的歡樂之間隔著的深淵。假如我們?cè)谝黄鸬纳钫娴娜缡廊怂胂蟮哪菢樱?純粹是享樂、揮霍和歡笑,那我就會(huì)一丁點(diǎn)也記不起來。正因?yàn)槟巧顣r(shí)時(shí)刻刻都包孕著悲劇、痛苦、惡毒, 一幕幕單調(diào)地重復(fù)著乏味可怕的吵鬧和卑劣的暴力,所以那些事一件件一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)都?xì)v歷如在眼前,切切似在耳邊,說實(shí)在的別的什么就很少能看得到聽得見了。這里的人們是如此的苦中度日,所以我同你的友誼,照我那樣被迫去記住的樣子,總顯得像是一支序曲,與眼前變換著的痛苦一脈相承。這些痛苦每一天我都得體會(huì)領(lǐng)悟;不僅如此,甚至得靠它們度日;似乎我的生活,不管在我本人還是在別人眼里曾經(jīng)是什么樣子,從來就是一部真正的悲愴交響曲,一個(gè)樂章一個(gè)樂章有節(jié)奏地推向其必然的結(jié)局,一切是那樣的必然,簡(jiǎn)直就是藝術(shù)上處理每個(gè)偉大主題的典型手法。 【讀書筆記】 1、scene?除了指“場(chǎng)景,場(chǎng)面”之外,還有“發(fā)脾氣,當(dāng)眾吵鬧”的意思,后一種用法在《自深深處》中反復(fù)出現(xiàn)。? 【舉例】create/make a scene 當(dāng)眾大吵大鬧 2、incident?發(fā)生的事,小事;(國際政治中的)事件,事變 【舉例】a strange incident 一件怪事 ordinary incidents of daily life?日常生活中的小事 the Lugouqiao Incident?盧溝橋事變 3、"So much...to necessitate them even"一句是一個(gè)句式混雜的復(fù)雜句,我們把它拆分成幾個(gè)便于理解的句子: I am forced to remember my friendship with you in a certain way.

I had made it the [w]keystone[/w] of a very?brilliant?philosophy expressed in plays and?[w=paradox]paradoxes[/w]. But the [w]froth[/w] and [w]folly[/w] of our life?grew often very wearisome to me: it was only in the?mire that we met: and fascinating, terribly?fascinating though the one topic round which?your talk invariably centred was, still at the end it?became quite monotonous to me. I was often?bored to death by it, and accepted it as I accepted?your passion for going to music-halls, or your?[w]mania[/w] for absurd extravagances in eating and?drinking, or any other of your to me less attractive?characteristics, as a thing, that is to say, that one simply had to put up with, a part of the high price one?paid for knowing you. 【孫宜學(xué)譯本】 在思想和行動(dòng)方面,微不足道的事是有其魅力的,這也是我在劇本和論文中表述的那種卓越哲理的基石。但我們生活中的空談和蠢事常常令我感到非常厭煩:我們只能在"泥坑"里才能達(dá)成一致。盡管你在交談中談?wù)摰囊粋€(gè)中心話題很吸引人,確實(shí)非常吸引人,但對(duì)我來說,久而久之,與你一直不變的交談話題就變得單調(diào)乏味了,我常常為此厭煩至死,感覺接受你的這種談話就像必須接受你去音樂廳時(shí)的那種激情或在吃喝上那種瘋狂浪費(fèi)的癖好或你身上的任何對(duì)我毫無吸引力的性格一樣,我只是把這種談話當(dāng)做一種東西,也就是說一種我不得不忍受的東西,是為認(rèn)識(shí)你而必須付出的昂貴代價(jià)中的一部分。 【朱純深譯本】 思想和行為上的瑣屑討人喜歡。我曾用這一點(diǎn)來作為一個(gè)非常睿智的人生哲學(xué)的基石, 在劇本和悖語中加以表達(dá)。但是我們生活中的蠢話傻事卻常常變得令人煩不勝煩:我們只是在泥淖中相遇。你談話時(shí)總是圍繞著的那個(gè)話題雖然引人入勝,引人入勝得不得了,但到頭來我還是覺得膩味。我常常被它煩得要死, 但卻接受了它, 就像接受了你要去雜耍劇場(chǎng)的狂熱, 接受了你荒唐地大吃大喝的癖好,以及別的在我看來不那么有趣的脾氣;也就是說,我干脆當(dāng)它為一個(gè)不得不忍受的東西,當(dāng)它為同你認(rèn)識(shí)所要付出的高昂代價(jià)的一部分。 【讀書筆記】 1、trivial 瑣碎的,無關(guān)緊要的,微不足道的;(人)淺薄的,輕浮的? 【舉例】trivial matters 瑣事 trivial formalities 繁文縟節(jié) Don't marry that trivial young man, please. 千萬別嫁給那個(gè)淺薄輕浮的人。 2、某些形容詞,在前面加上定冠詞the,可以變成指代一類人或事物的名詞性詞組,比如trivial(瑣碎的)/the trivial(瑣事),poor(貧窮的)/the poor(窮人),dead(死亡的)/the dead(死人),等等。 3、bore?v.使厭煩,使厭倦 n.令人討厭的人或事 【舉例】bore sb. to death?使某人厭煩得要死 He has bored himself with bridge. 他玩橋牌玩膩了。 Stop being a bore. 別再煩人了。 4、extravagance 奢侈,鋪張浪費(fèi);過度,無節(jié)制 【舉例】extravagance with money?揮霍無度 love one's children with extravagance?溺愛孩子 5、pay for?為……付出代價(jià),因……接受懲罰 【舉例】He paid dearly for his mistake.?他為自己所犯的錯(cuò)誤付出了高昂的代價(jià)。 《自深深處》讀書筆記系列>> 點(diǎn)擊進(jìn)入滬江下載庫下載《自深深處》雙語版>>

I blame myself for allowing an?unintellectual friendship, a friendship whose primary?aim was not the creation and [w]contemplation[/w] of?beautiful things, to entirely dominate my life. 【孫宜學(xué)譯本】 我首先要告訴你的就是我強(qiáng)烈地譴責(zé)我自己。當(dāng)我這個(gè)恥辱的被摧毀的人,穿著囚服坐在黑暗的牢房里時(shí),我譴責(zé)我自己;在一陣陣煩惱的痛苦的夜里,在漫長(zhǎng)單調(diào)的痛苦的白天,我譴責(zé)的也只是我自己。我譴責(zé)自己容許了一種不理智的友誼、一種最初目的不是為了創(chuàng)造和沉思美麗的事物的友誼完全支配了自己的生活。 【朱純深譯本】 一開頭我要告訴你我拼命地怪自己。坐在這黑牢里, 囚衣蔽體, 身敗名裂, 我怪我自己。暗夜里輾轉(zhuǎn)反側(cè),苦痛中忽睡忽醒,白日里枯坐牢底, 憂心慘切,我怪的是自己。怪自己讓一段毫無心智的友情,一段其根本目的不在創(chuàng)造和思考美好事物的友情,完完全全左右了自己的生活。 【讀書筆記】 1、在這一段中王爾德連用了四個(gè)句子、四個(gè)不同的句式來表達(dá)“我責(zé)備我自己”,層層遞進(jìn),讓人體會(huì)到他深切的悔恨之情。同學(xué)們?cè)趯懽髦幸磉_(dá)自己強(qiáng)烈的感情的話,也可以嘗試運(yùn)用這種排比、遞進(jìn)的句型,會(huì)讓文章增色不少喲~ 2、disgrace (n.)恥辱,丟臉的事 【舉例】bring disgrace on oneself 給自己丟臉 ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?(v.)使丟臉,使蒙受恥辱 【舉例】Your actions disgraced the family.你的行為使全家丟臉。 3、dominate 支配,統(tǒng)治,施加決定性影響 【舉例】The country is dominated by the special interests. 特殊利益集團(tuán)統(tǒng)治著這個(gè)國家。 《自深深處》讀書筆記系列>>
