11、 Janet saw him sitting on his front porch and suggested they cross over to the other side of the street. Like most of the children, she was scared of the old man because of the stories she'd heard about him. 一个周五,12岁的珍妮特要陪她的挚友艾米过夜。她们去艾米家的途中得路过道森先生的房子。当她们离道森家越来越近时,珍妮特望见道森先生坐在前廊,于是她建议她们过公路从街的另一边走。
12、跟大多数孩子一样,珍妮特听过他的故事,对他很是胆怯。 Amy said not to worry, Mr. Dawson wouldn't hurt anyone. Still, Janet was growing more nervous with each step closer to the old man's house. When they got close enough, Dawson looked up with his usual frown, but when he saw it was Amy, a broad smile changed his enti
13、re face as he said, Hello Miss Amy. I see you've got a little friend with you today. 艾米说别担忧,道森先生不会损害任何人。但每向前走一步,离老人的房子越近,珍妮特就越惊慌。当她们走到房子那儿,道森抬起了头,一如既往地皱着他的眉头。但当他看到是艾米,一个绚丽的笑容让他整个表情都变了,他说:“你好,艾米小姐,我望见今日有位小挚友陪你。” Amy smiled back and told him Janet was staying overnight and they were going to liste

16、 wearing an invisible smile and so she always smiled back at him. It took a while, but one day he half-smiled back at her. 艾米说当她第一次路过他家时,他不是很友好,这让她胆怯。但她假装他有着看不见的微笑,所以她总对他回之以微笑。最终过了一段时间,有一天,他也对她露出了一点笑容。 After some more time, he started smiling real smiles and then started talking to her. Just a hello
17、 at first, then more. She said he always offers her an apple now, and is always very kind. 再过了些日子,他起先真正地对她笑了,并起先和艾米说话。起先只是打个招呼,后来越来越多。她说他现在总给她苹果,总是很友善。 An invisible smile?questioned Janet. “看不见的笑容?”珍妮特问。 Yes,answered Amy, my grandma told me that if I pretended I wasn't afraid and pretended he wa

19、e too will find that most people can't resist our smile after a while. 假如我们记住艾米奶奶说的,每个人都有着看不见的笑容,我们会发觉大多数人在一段时间后是无法抗拒我们的微笑的。 We're always on the go trying to accomplish so much, aren's we? Getting groceries, cleaning the house, mowing the lawn - there's always something. It's so
20、easy to get caught up in everyday life that we forget how simple it can be to bring cheer to ourselves and others. Giving a smile away takes so little effort and time, let's make sure that we've not the one that others have to pretend is wearing an invisible smile. 我们总是忙着去尽量完成更多的事,不是吗?买东西,打扫

25、u, Vanity said, You are all wet and will damage my beautiful boat. 虚荣坐在美丽的小船中从爱身边驶过,爱问:“虚荣,你能帮助我么?”虚荣说:“不行,你全身湿透,会弄脏我的船。” Next, Love saw Sadness passing by. Love said, Sadness, please let me go with you. Sadness answered, Love, I'm sorry, but, I just need to be alone now. 哀痛的船靠近了,爱问:“哀痛,请带我走吧。”“

Love realized how much she owed the elder. 突然,一个声音喊道:“来,爱,我带你走。” 声音来自“年老”。爱太兴奋了,甚至忘了问他们即将去何方。当他们来到岸上,年老自己离开了。爱突然意识到“年老”给了它多大的帮助。 Love then found Knowledge and asked, Who
28、 was it that helped me? It was Time,' Knowledge answered. But why did Time help me when no one else would? Love asked. Knowledge smiled and with deep wisdom and sincerity, answered, Because only Time is capable of understanding how great Love is. 于是,爱问另一位老者学问:“谁帮助了我?”学问说:“是时间。”“时间?”爱问:“但是时间为什么帮助

30、ch flower's golden center. It was just morning in Paradise. 一天,佛世尊独自由极乐净土的宝莲池畔闲步。池中莲花盛开,朵朵都晶白如玉。花心之中金蕊送香,其香胜妙殊绝,普薰十方。极乐世界大约时当早晨。 After a time, the Buddha paused at the edge of the pond and from between the lotus leaves that covered it saw a glimpse of the state of things below. Now this celestia
31、l pond just happened to lie directly over Hell, and peering through that crystal-clear water was like looking through a magnifying glass at the River of Death and the Mountain of Needles and such. 俄顷,世尊伫立池畔,从覆盖水面的莲叶间,偶见池下的情景。极乐莲池之下,正是十八地狱的最底层。透过澄清晶莹的池水,犹如戴上透视镜一般,把三恶道上之冥河与刀山剑树的诸般景象,尽收眼底。 The Buddha s
32、aw there, in the depths of Hell, a single man writhing along with the other sinners. This man was named Kandata, and he had been a notorious thief who had performed murder and arson and other acts of evil. In his past, however, he had performed just one good deed: one day, when walking through the d
33、eep forest, he saw a spider crawling along the road. At first he raised his foot to crush it, but suddenly he changed his mind and stopped, saying, No, small though it may be, a spider, too, has life. It would be a pity to meaninglessly end it, and so did not kill it. 这时,一名叫犍陀多的男子,同其他罪人在地狱底层挣扎的情景,映入
34、世尊的慧眼。世尊记得,这犍陀多虽是个杀人放火、无恶不作的大盗,倒也有过一项善举。话说大盗犍陀多有一回走在密林中,见到路旁爬行一只小蜘蛛,抬起脚来,便要将蜘蛛踩死。忽转念一想:“不行,不行,蜘蛛虽小,究竟也是一条性命。随意害死,无论如何,总怪可怜的。”犍陀多终究没踩下去,放了蜘蛛一条生路。 Looking down upon the captives in Hell the Buddha recalled this kind act that Kandata had performed, and thought to use his good deed as a way to save him
35、from his fate. Looking aside, there on a jade-colored lotus leaf he saw a single spider, spinning out a web of silver thread. The Buddha carefully took the spider's thread into his hand, and lowered it straight down between the jewel-like white lotuses into the depths of Hell. 世尊看着地狱中的景象,想起犍陀多放蜘
36、蛛生路这件善举。虽然微末如斯,世尊亦拟施以善报,尽量把他救出地狱。侧头一望,说来也巧,净土里有只蜘蛛,正在翠绿的莲叶上,攀牵漂亮的银丝。世尊轻轻取来一缕蛛丝,从莹洁如玉的白莲间,径直垂向香渺幽邃的地狱底层。 关于经典英语故事带翻译<五> Kandata was floating and sinking along with the other sinners in the Lake of Blood at the bottom of Hell. It was pitch black no matter which way he looked, and the occasional
37、glimpse of light that he would see in the darkness would turn out to be just the glint of the terrible Mountain of Needles. How lonely he must have felt! All about him was the silence of the grave, the only occasional sound being a faint sigh from one of the damned. Those who were so evil as to be s
38、ent to this place were tired by its various torments, and left without even the strength to cry out. Even the great thief Kandata could only squirm like a dying frog as he choked in the Lake of Blood. 这边厢犍陀多正和其他罪人,在地狱底层的血池里载沉载浮。不论朝哪儿望去,到处都是黑魆魆暗幽幽的,间或影影绰绰,暗中悬浮着什么,原来是阴森可怕的刀山剑树,让人看了胆战心惊。尤其是四周一片死寂,如在墓中。
39、间或听到的,也仅是罪人恹恹的叹息声。凡落到这一步的人,都已受尽地狱的熬煎,衰惫不堪,唯恐连哭出声的气力都没有了。所以,恁是大盗犍陀多,也像只濒死的青蛙,在血池里,惟有一面咽着血水,一面苦苦挣扎而已。 But one day, raising up his head and glancing at the sky above the lake, in the empty darkness Kandata saw a silver spider's thread being lowered from the ceiling so far, far away. The thread seem
40、ed almost afraid to be seen, emitting a frail, constant light as it came down to just above Kandata's head. Seeing this, Kandata couldn't help but clap his hands in joy. If he were to cling to this thread and climb up it, he may be able to climb out of Hell! Perhaps he could even climb all t
41、he way to Paradise! Then he would never be chased up the Mountain of Needles, nor drowned in the Lake of Blood again. 偶然间,犍陀多无心一抬头,向血池上空望去,在阒然无声的黑暗中,但见一缕银色的蛛丝,正从天而降。仿佛怕人看到似的,细细一线,微光闪耀,恰在自己头上笔直垂落下来。犍陀多一见,乐不可支,拍手称快。倘抓住蜘蛛丝,攀援而上,准保能脱离苦海。不特此也,侥幸的话,也许还能爬进极乐世界哩。如此,再不会驱之上刀山,也庶免沉沦血池之苦了。 Thinking so, he firml
42、y grasped the spider's thread with both hands and began to climb the thread, higher and higher. Having once been a great thief, he was used to tasks such as this. But the distance between Hell and Paradise is tens of thousands of miles, and so it would seem that no amount of effort would make th
43、is an easy journey. After climbing for some time Kandata tired, and couldn't climb a bit higher. Having no other recourse, he hung there from the thread, resting, and while doing so looked down below. 这样一想,犍陀多抓紧伸出双手,死死攥住蛛丝,一把一把,舍命往上攀去。原本是大盗,手并足抵,区区小事一桩而已。可是,地狱与净土之间,何止千万里!不论犍陀多怎样心焦气躁,要想爬出地狱,真谈何简单
44、。爬了一程,最终力倦神疲,哪怕伸手往上再升一级,也难以为役了。一筹莫展之下,只好住手,先歇会儿喘口气,便吊在蛛丝上,悬在半空中,一面放眼向下望去。 He saw that he had made a good deal of progress. The Lake of Blood that he had been trapped in was now hidden in the dark below, and he had even climbed higher than the dimly glowing Mountain of Needles. If he could keep up th
45、is pace, perhaps he could escape from Hell after all. Kandata grasped the thread with both hands, and laughingly spoke in a voice that he hadn't used in the many years since he had come here, I've done it! I've done it! 方才是不顾死活往上攀,终于没白费劲气,片刻前自己还沉沦在内的血池,不知何时,竟已隐没在黑暗的地底。那寒光闪闪,令人毛骨悚然的刀山剑树,也
46、已在自己脚下。假如始终这样往上爬,要逃出地狱,或许并非难事。犍陀多将两手绕在蛛丝上,开怀大笑起来:“这下好啦!我得救啦!”那吼声,自打落进地狱以来多年不曾得闻的。 Looking down, however, what did he see but an endless queue of sinners, intently following him up the thread like a line of ants! Seeing this, surprise and fear kept Kandata hanging there for a time with mouth open and
47、 eyes blinking like a fool. How could this slender spider's web, which should break even under just his weight, support the weight of all these other people? If the thread were to snap, all of his effort would be wasted and he would fall back into Hell with the others! That just would not do. But even as he thought these thoughts, hundreds more, thousands more of the damned came crawling up from the Lake of Blood, forming a line and scurrying up the thread. If he didn't do something fast, surely the thread would snap
