1、一个干净明亮的地方双语美文 一个干净光明的地方,大家第一时间会想到哪里呢?对于文中的主子公来说，或许是?接下来，我给大家打算了一个干净光明的地方双语美文,欢迎大家参考与借鉴。 一个干净光明的地方双语美文 It was very late and everyone had left the cafe except an old man who sat in the shadow the leaves of the tree made against the electric light. In the day time the street was dusty， but at night the
2、 dew settled the dust and the old man liked to sit late because he was deaf and now at night it was quiet and he felt the difference. The two waiters inside the cafe knew that the old man was a little drunk， and while he was a good client they knew that if he became too drunk he would leave without
3、paying， so they kept watch on him. 时间很晚了，大家都离开餐馆，只有一个老人还坐在树叶拦住灯光的阴影里。白天里，街上尽是尘埃，到得晚上，露水压住了尘埃。这个老人喜爱坐得很晚，因为他是个聋子，现在是夜里，非常宁静，他感觉得到跟白天的不同。呆在餐馆里的两个侍者知道这老人有点儿醉了，他虽然是个好主顾，可是，他们知道，假如他喝得太醉了，他会不付账就走，所以他们始终在留神他。 “Last week he tried to commit suicide，” one waiter said. “Why?” “He was in despair.” “What about?”
4、 “Nothing.” “How do you know it was nothing?” “He has plenty of money.” “上个星期他想自杀，”一个侍者说。 “为什么?” “他无望啦。” “干吗无望?” “没事儿。” “你怎么知道是没事儿?” “他有许多钱。” They sat together at a table that was close against the wall near the door of the cafe and looked at the terrace where the tables were all empty except where
5、the old man sat in the shadow of the leaves of the tree that moved slightly in the wind. A girl and a soldier went by in the street. The street light shone on the brass number on his collar. The girl wore no head covering and hurried beside him. 他们一起坐在紧靠着餐馆大门墙边的桌旁，眼睛望着平台，那儿的桌子全都空无一人，只有那个老人坐在随风轻轻漂流的树
6、叶的阴影里。有个少女和一个大兵走过大街。街灯照在他那领章的铜号码上。那个少女没戴帽子，在他身旁匆忙走着。 “The guard will pick him up，” one waiter said. “What does it matter if he gets what he's after?” “He had better get off the street now. The guard will get him. They went by five minutes ago.” The old man sitting in the shadow rapped on his sau
7、cer with his glass. The younger waiter went over to him. “What do you want?” The old man looked at him. “Another brandy，” he said. “警卫队会把他逮走，”一个侍者说。 “假如他到手了他要找的东西，那又有什么关系呢?” “他这会儿还是从街上溜走为好。警卫队会找他麻烦，他们五分钟前才经过这里。” 那老人坐在阴影里，用杯子敲敲茶托。那个年纪比较轻的侍者上他那儿去。 “你要什么?” 老人朝他看了看。“再来杯白兰地，”他说。 “You'll be drunk，” th
8、e waiter said. The old man looked at him. The waiter went away. “你会喝醉的，”侍者说。老人朝他看了一看。侍者走开了。 “He'll stay all night，” he said to his colleague. “I'm sleepy now. I never get into bed before three o'clock. He should have killed himself last week.” “他会通宵呆在这里，”他对他的同事说。“我这会儿真想睡。我从来没有在三点钟以前睡觉过。他
9、应当在上星期就自杀了。” The waiter took the brandy bottle and another saucer from the counter inside the cafe and marched out to the old man's table. He put down the saucer and poured the glass full of brandy. 侍者从餐馆里的柜台上拿了一瓶白兰地和另一个茶托，大步走了出来，送到老人桌上。他放下茶托，把杯子倒满了白兰地。 “You should have killed yourself last week
10、，” he said to the deaf man. The old man motioned with his finger. “A little more，” he said. The waiter poured on into the glass so that the brandy slopped over and ran down the stem into the top saucer of the pile. “Thank you，” the old man said. The waiter took the bottle back inside the cafe. He sa
11、t down at the table with his colleague again. “你应当在上星期就自杀了，”他对那个聋子说。老人把手指一晃。“再加一点，”他说。侍者又往杯子里倒酒，酒溢了出来，顺着高脚杯的脚流进了一叠茶托的第一只茶托。“感谢你，”老人说。侍者把酒瓶拿回到餐馆去。他又同他的同事坐在桌旁。 “He's drunk now，” he said. “He's drunk every night.” “What did he want to kill himself for?” “How should I know.” “How did he do it?”
12、“He hung himself with a rope.” “Who cut him down?” “他这会儿喝醉了，”他说。 “他每天晚上都喝醉。” “他干吗要自杀呀?” “我怎么知道。” “他上次是怎样自杀的?” “他用绳子上吊。” “谁把他放下来的?” “His niece.” “Why did they do it?” “Fear for his soul.” “How much money has he got?” “He's got plenty.” “He must be eighty years old.” “Anyway I should say he was ei
13、ghty.” “他侄女。” “干吗要把他放下来?” “为他的灵魂担忧。” “他有多少钱?” “他准有八十岁喽。” “不管怎样，我算准他有八十岁。” “I wish he would go home. I never get to bed before three o'clock. What kind of hour is that to go to bed?” “我真希望他回家去。我从来没有在三点钟以前睡觉过。那是个什么样的睡觉时间呀?” “He stays up because he likes it.” “他因为不喜爱睡觉所以才不睡觉。” “He's lonely. I&#
14、39;m not lonely. I have a wife waiting in bed for me.” 他孤孤寂单。我可不孤寂。我有个老婆在床上等着我呢。“ “He had a wife once too.” “他从前也有过老婆。” “A wife would be no good to him now.” “这会儿有老婆对他可没好处。” “You can't tell. He might be better with a wife.” “话可不能这么说。他有老婆或许会好些。” “His niece looks after him. You said she cut him do
15、wn.” “他侄女会照料他。你刚才说是她把他放下来的。” “I know.” “I wouldn't want to be that old. An old man is a nasty thing.” “我知道。” “我才不要活得那么老。老人邋里邋遢。” “Not always. This old man is clean. He drinks without spilling. Even now， drunk. Look at him.” “不肯定都是这样。这个老人干干净净。他喝啤酒来并不滴滴答答往外漏。哪怕这会儿喝醉了。你瞧他。” “I don't want to loo
16、k at him. I wish he would go home. He has no regard for those who must work.” “我才不想瞧他。我希望他回家去。他并不关切那些非干活不行的人。” The old man looked from his glass across the square， then over at the waiters. 那老人从酒杯上抬起头来望望广场，又望望那两个侍者。 “Another brandy，” he said， pointing to his glass. The waiter who was in a hurry came
17、 over. “再来杯白兰地，”他指着杯子说。那个焦急的侍者跑了过去。 “Finished，” he said， speaking with that omission of syntax stupid people employ when talking to drunken people or foreigners. “No more tonight. Close now.” “没啦，”他不顾什么句法地说，蠢汉在对醉汉或外国人说话时就这么说法。“今晚上没啦。打烊啦。” “Another，” said the old man. “再来一杯，”那老人说。 “No. Finished.” The
18、 waiter wiped the edge of the table with a towel and shook his head. “不，没啦，”侍者一边拿块毛巾揩揩桌沿，一边摇摇头。 The old man stood up， slowly counted the saucers， took a leather coin purse from his pocket and paid for the drinks， leaving half a peseta tip. The waiter watched him go down the street， a very old man wa
19、lking unsteadily but with dignity. 老人站了起来，渐渐地数着茶托，打口袋里摸出一只装硬币的起夹子来，付了酒账，又放下半个比塞塔作小账。那个侍者瞅着他顺着大街走去，这个年纪很大的人走起路来，虽然脚步不挺稳，却很有神气。 “Why didn't you let him stay and drink?” the unhurried waiter asked. They were putting up the shutters. “It is not half-past two.” “你干吗不让他呆下来喝酒呢?”那个不焦急的侍者问道。他们这会儿正在拉下百叶窗。
20、“还不到二点半呢。” “I want to go home to bed.” “我要回家睡觉了。” “What is an hour?” “一个钟头算啥?” “More to me than to him.” “他无所谓，我可很在乎。” “An hour is the same.” “反正是一个钟头。” “You talk like an old man yourself. He can buy a bottle and drink at home.” “你说得就象那个老人一模一样。他可以买啤酒回家去喝嘛。” “It's not the same.” “这可不一样。” “No， it
21、is not，” agreed the waiter with a wife. He did not wish to be unjust. He was only in a hurry. “是呀，这是不一样的。”那个有老婆的侍者表示同意说。他不希望做得不公道，他只是有点儿焦急。 “And you? You have no fear of going home before your usual hour?” “那么你呢?你不怕不到你通常的时间就回家吗?” “Are you trying to insult me?” “你想羞辱我吗?” “No， hombre， only to make a j
22、oke.” “不，老兄，只是开开玩笑。” “No，” the waiter who was in a hurry said， rising from pulling down the metal shutters. “I have confidence. I am all confidence.” “不，”那个焦急的侍者一边说，一边拉下了铁百叶窗后站了起来。“我有信念。我完全有信念。” “You have youth， confidence， and a job，” the older waiter said. “You have everything.” “你有青春，信念，又有工作，”那个年
23、纪大些的侍者说，“你什么都有了。” “And what do you lack?” “那么，你缺少什么呢?” “Everything but work.” “除了工作，什么都缺。” “You have everything I have.” “我有什么，你也都有了。” “No. I have never had confidence and I am not young.” “不，我从来就没有信念，我也不年轻了。” “Come on. Stop talking nonsense and lock up.” “好啦，好啦，别乱弹琴了，把门锁上吧。” “I am of those who like
24、 to stay late at the cafe，” the older waiter said. “With all those who do not want to go to bed. With all those who need a light for the night.” “我是属于那种喜爱在餐馆呆得很晚的人，”那个年纪大些的侍者说。“我怜悯那种不想睡觉的人，怜悯那种夜里要有亮光的人。” “I want to go home and into bed.” “我要回家睡觉去了。” “We are of two different kinds，” the older waiter
25、said. He was now dressed to go home. “It is not only a question of youth and confidence although those things are very beautiful. Each night I am reluctant to close up because there may be some one who needs the cafe.” “我们是不一样的，”那个年纪大些的侍者说。这会儿，他穿好衣服要回家了。“这不光是个年轻和信念的问题，虽然青春和信念都是非常奇妙的。我每天晚上都很不情愿打烊，因为可
26、能有人要上餐馆。” “Hombre， there are bodegas open all night long.” “老兄，开通宵的酒店有的是。” “You do not understand. This is a clean and pleasant cafe. It is well lighted. The light is very good and also， now， there are shadows of the leaves.” “你不懂。这儿是个干净开心的餐馆。非常光明。而且这会儿，灯光很亮，还有飘渺的树影。” “Good night，” said the younger
27、waiter. “再见啦，”那个年轻的侍者说。 “Good night，” the other said. Turning off the electric light he continued the conversation with himself， It was the light of course but it is necessary that the place be clean and pleasant. You do not want music. Certainly you do not want music. Nor can you stand before a bar
28、 with dignity although that is all that is provided for these hours. What did he fear? It was not a fear or dread， It was a nothing that he knew too well. It was all a nothing and a man was a nothing too. It was only that and light was all it needed and a certain cleanness and order. Some lived in i
29、t and never felt it but he knew it all was nada y pues nada y nada y pues nada. Our nada who art in nada， nada be thy name thy kingdom nada thy will be nada in nada as it is in nada. Give us this nada our daily nada and nada us our nada as we nada our nadas and nada us not into nada but deliver us f
30、rom nada; pues nada. Hail nothing full of nothing， nothing is with thee. He smiled and stood before a bar with a shining steam pressure coffee machine. “再见，”年纪大些的侍者说。他关了电灯，接着在自说自话。亮当然要很亮，但也必需是个干净开心的地方。你不要听音乐。你确定不要听音乐。你也不会神气地站在酒吧前面，虽然这会儿那里无奇不有。他怕什么?他不是怕，也不是发慌。他心里很有数，这是虚无缥缈。全是虚无缥缈，人也是虚无缥缈的。人所须要的只是虚无缥缈
31、和亮光以及干干净净和井井有条。有些人生活于其中却从来没有感觉到，可是，他知道一切都是虚无缥缈的，一切都是为了虚无缥缈，虚无缥缈，为了虚无缥缈。我们的虚无缥缈就在虚无缥缈中，虚无缥缈是你的名字，你的王国也叫虚无缥缈，你将是虚无缥缈中的虚无缥缈，因为原来就是虚无缥缈。给我们这个虚无缥缈吧，我们日常的虚无缥缈，虚无缥缈是我们的，我们的虚无缥缈，因为我们是虚无缥缈的，我们的虚无缥缈，我们无不在虚无缥缈中，可是，把我们打虚无缥缈中挽救出来吧;为了虚无缥缈。欢呼全是虚无缥缈的虚无缥缈，虚无缥缈与汝同在。他含笑站在一个酒吧前，那儿有架闪光的蒸气压咖啡机。 “What's yours?” asked
32、the barman. “你要什么?”酒吧款待问道。 “Nada.” “虚无缥缈。” “Otro loco mas，” said the barman and turned away. “又是个神经病，”酒吧款待说过后，转过头去。 “A little cup，” said the waiter. “来一小杯，”那个侍者说。 The barman poured it for him. 酒吧款待倒了一杯给他。 “The light is very bright and pleasant but the bar is unpolished，” the waiter said. “灯很亮，也很开心，只
33、是这个酒吧没有擦得很光滑，”侍者说。 The barman looked at him but did not answer. It was too late at night for conversation. 酒吧款待看看他，但是，没有答腔，夜深了，不便谈话。 “You want another copita?” the barman asked. “你要再来一小杯吗?”酒吧款待问道。 “No， thank you，” said the waiter and went out. He disliked bars and bodegas. A clean， well-lighted cafe
34、 was a very different thing. Now， without thinking further， he would go home to his room. He would lie in the bed and finally， with daylight， he would go to sleep. After all， he said to himself， it's probably only insomnia. Many must have it. “不，感谢你，”侍者说罢，走出去了。他不喜爱酒吧和酒店。一个干净光明的餐馆又是另一回事。现在他不再想什么了，他要回家，到自己屋里去。他要去躺在床上，最终，天亮了，他就要睡觉了。到头来，他对自己说，也许又只是失眠。很多人肯定都失眠。本文来源：网络收集与整理，如有侵权，请联系作者删除，谢谢！第19页 共19页第 19 页 共 19 页第 19 页 共 19 页第 19 页 共 19 页第 19 页 共 19 页第 19 页 共 19 页第 19 页 共 19 页第 19 页 共 19 页第 19 页 共 19 页第 19 页 共 19 页第 19 页 共 19 页
