英译中散文河之歌
W.S Maugham
毛姆
You hear it all along the river. You hear it, loud and strong, from the rowers as they urge the junk with its high stern, the mast lashed alongside, down the swift running stream. You hear it from the trackers, a more breathless chant, as they pull desperately against the current, half a dozen of them perhaps if they are taking up wupan, a couple of hundred if they are hauling a splendid junk, its square sail set, over a rapid.
沿河上下都可以听见那歌声。它响亮而有力,那是船夫,他们划着木船顺流向下,船尾翘得很高,桅杆系在船边。它也可能是比较急促的号子,那是纤夫,他们拉纤逆流而上。如果拉的是小木船,也许就只五六个人;如果拉的是扬着横帆的大船过急滩,那就要200来人。
On the junk, a man stands amidships beating a drum incessantly to guide their efforts, and they pull with all their strength, like men possessed, bent double; and sometimes in the extremity of their travail they craw on the ground, on all fours, like the beasts of the field. They strain, strain fiercely, against the pitiless might of the stream.
船中央站着一个汉子不停地击鼓助威,引导他们加劲。于是他们使出全部力量,像着了魔似的,腰弯成两折,有时力量用到极限就全身趴在地上匍匐前进,像田里的牲口。
The leader goes up and down the line and when he sees one who is not putting all his will into the task he brings down his split bamboo on the naked back. Each one must do his utmost or the labour of all is vain. And still they sing a vehement, eager chant, the chant of the turbulent waters.
领头的在纤绳前后跑来跑去,见到有人没有全力以赴,竹板就打在他光着的背上。每个人都必须竭尽全力,否则就要前功尽弃。就这样他们还是唱着激昂而热切的号子,那汹涌澎湃的河水号子。
I do not know words can describe what there is in it of effort. It serves to express the straining heart, the breaking muscles, and at the same time the indomitable spirit of man which overcomes the pitiless force of nature. Though the rope may part and the great junk swing back, in the end the rapid will be passed; and at the close of the weary day there is the hearty meal...
我不知道词语怎样能描写出其中所包括的拼搏,它表现的是绷紧的心弦,几乎要断裂的筋肉,同时也表现了人类克服无情的自然力的顽强精神。他们使劲,拼命使劲,对抗着水流无情的威力。虽然绳子可能扯断,大船可能倒退,但最终险滩必将通过,在筋疲力尽的一天结束时可以痛快地吃上一顿饱饭…..
But the most agonizing song is the song of the coolies who bring the great bales from the junk up the steep steps to the town wall. Up and down they go, endlessly, and endless as their toil rises their rhythmic cry. He, aw --ah, oh. They are barefoot and naked to the waist. The sweat pours down their faces and their song is a groan of pain.
然而最令人难受的却是苦力的歌,他们背负着船上卸下的大包,沿着陡坡爬上城墙。他们不停地上上下下,随着无尽的劳动响起有节奏的喊声:嗨,呦——嗬,嗨。他们赤着脚,光着背,汗水不断地从脸上流下。
It is a sigh of despair. It is heart-rending. It is hardly human. It is the cry of souls in infinite distress, only just musical, and that last note is the ultimate sob of humanity. Life is too hard, too cruel, and this is the final despairing protest. That is the song of the river.
他们的歌是痛苦的呻吟,失望的叹息,听来令人心碎,简直不像是人的声音。它是灵魂在无尽悲戚中的呼喊,只不过有着音乐的节奏而已。那终了的一声简直就是人性泯灭的低泣。生活太艰难、太残酷,这喊声正是最后绝望的抗议。这就是河之歌。

在英语里,很多动物的名称和它们的幼崽的名称是不一样的,但是,很多不同的动物的幼崽名却又是一样的。下面我们就来看看英语较为常见的一些动物及其幼崽的名称,从这些动物幼崽的名称里,我们还发现了一些有趣的现象。一、动物及其幼崽的英文名 成年动物 中文名称 对应幼崽 antelope 羚羊 calf badger 獾 cub bear 熊 cub beaver 海狸 kit bobcat 北美大山猫 kitten buffalo 水牛 calf camel 骆驼 calf caribou 北美驯鹿 fawn cat 猫 kitten cattle 牛 calf chicken 鸡 chick cougar 美洲狮 kitten coyote 丛林狼 puppy deer 鹿 fawn dog 狗 puppy / pup / whelp duck 鸭子 duckling成年动物 中文名称 对应幼崽 eagle 鹰 eaglet eel 鳗鱼 elver elephant 大象 calf elk 麋鹿 calf ferret 雪貂 kit fish 鱼 fry fox 狐狸 cub / kit frog 青蛙 tadpole giraffe 长颈鹿 calf goat 山羊 kid goose 鹅 gosling hare 野兔 leveret hartebeest 大羚羊 calf hawk 隼 chick / eyas horse 马 foal / colt / filly成年动物 中文名称 对应幼崽 kangaroo 袋鼠 joey leopard 美洲豹 cub lion 狮子 cub mink 貂 kit owl 猫头鹰 owlet peafowl 孔雀 peachick pheasant 雉 chick pig 猪 piglet/ porkling / gilt pigeon 鸽子 squab / squeaker pike 狗鱼 pickerel possum 负鼠 joey rabbit 兔子 kitten rat 老鼠 pup rhinoceros 犀牛 calf roedeer 狍 kid成年动物 中文名称 对应幼崽 salmon 桂鱼 parr / smolt seal 海豹 calf / pup sheep 绵羊 lamb skunk 臭鼬 kitten spider 蜘蛛 spiderling swan 天鹅 cygnet tiger 老虎 cub toad 蟾蜍 tadpole wallaby 小袋鼠 joey walrus 海象 cub weasel 黄鼠狼 kit whale 鲸鱼 calf wolf 狼 cub / pup / whelp zebra 斑马 foal二、不同动物相同幼崽名 细心的网友可能已经从上面的表格中发现,不少不同的动物却有着相同的幼崽名。 (一)calf类 成年动物 中文名称 对应幼崽 antelope 羚羊 calf buffalo 水牛 calf camel 骆驼 calf cattle 牛 calf elephant 大象 calf elk 麋鹿 calf giraffe 长颈鹿 calf hartebeest 大羚羊 calf rhinoceros 犀牛 calf whale 鲸鱼 calf seal 海豹 calf / pup 这类动物大多是四足蹄类动物,共用幼崽名calf(the young of cattle, esp domestic cattle;the young of certain other mammals, such as the buffalo, elephant, giraffe, and whale)。不过,鲸鱼和海豹也在其列,倒是挺奇怪的,难道是因为它们都是哺乳动物?(二)chick类 成年动物 中文名称 对应幼崽 chicken 鸡 chick pheasant 雉 chick hawk 隼 chick / eyas 看来,这几个是因为它们都是禽类。(三)cub类 成年动物 中文名称 对应幼崽 badger 獾 cub bear 熊 cub leopard 美洲豹 cub lion 狮子 cub tiger 老虎 cub walrus 海象 cub fox 狐狸 cub / kit wolf 狼 cub / pup / whelp 这些动物共用一个幼崽名cub(A cub is a young wild animal such as a lion, wolf, or bear.),估计是因为它们都是野兽吧。(四)fawn类成年动物 中文名称 对应幼崽 caribou 北美驯鹿 fawn deer 鹿 fawn 鹿科动物的幼崽一般都叫fawn(A fawn is a very young deer.)。(五)foal类 成年动物 中文名称 对应幼崽 zebra 斑马 foal horse 马 foal / colt / filly 马科动物的幼崽都叫foal(A foal is a very young horse.),尽管斑马其实不是马。(六)joey类 成年动物 中文名称 对应幼崽 kangaroo 袋鼠 joey possum 负鼠 joey wallaby 小袋鼠 joey 鼠科动物的幼崽一般叫作joey(a young kangaroo or possum)。(七)kid类 成年动物 中文名称 对应幼崽 goat 山羊 kid roe deer 狍 kid 山羊和狍的幼崽竟然也叫kid(A kid is a young goat.),人类的孩子也叫kid!(八)kit类 成年动物 中文名称 对应幼崽 beaver 海狸 kit ferret 雪貂 kit mink 貂 kit weasel 黄鼠狼 kit 怎么也没想到,这些动物的幼崽叫作kit(a cub of various small mammals, such as the ferret or fox)。要知道,kit一般表示成套工具、工具箱。(九)kitten类 成年动物 中文名称 对应幼崽 bobcat 北美大山猫 kitten cat 猫 kitten cougar 美洲狮 kitten rabbit 兔子 kitten skunk 臭鼬 kitten 没想到兔子和臭鼬的幼崽也叫kitten(A kitten is a very young cat.),它们怎么也与猫科动物有关联呢?(十)pup类 成年动物 中文名称 对应幼崽 rat 老鼠 pup coyote 丛林狼 puppy dog 狗 puppy / pup / whelp pup作为幼崽名,指代似乎有点杂了。(十一)tadpole类 成年动物 中文名称 对应幼崽 frog 青蛙 tadpole toad 蟾蜍 tadpole 蛙科动物的幼崽大家应该都很熟悉了——tadpole(蝌蚪,Tadpoles are small water creatures which grow into frogs or toads.)。
