But who was he to be pampered with the daily and hourly sight of loveliness?
可是他是什么樣的人，竟然得到如此的嬌慣，可以每時每日欣賞如此的美景？
Who was he to be living in the visible presence of God?
他是什么樣的人，竟然可以與上帝的圣體生活在一起？
All he deserved to live in was some filthy sty, some blind hole in the ground.
他是只配居住在骯臟的豬圈或是地下的黑洞中的。
Stiff and still aching after his long night of pain, but for that very reason inwardly reassured,
因為長夜的煎熬他的身子仍然僵硬，余痛也還在，也正因此他才覺得良心稍安了。
he climbed up to the platform of his tower, he looked out over the bright sunrise world which he had regained the right to inhabit.
他爬上了塔樓的平臺，向旭日東升的光明世界望去：他已經重新獲得了在這里居住的權利。
On the north the view was bounded by the long chalk ridge of the Hog's Back,
北方的景色由野豬背蜿蜒的白里質群山包圍。
from behind whose eastern extremity rose the towers of the seven skyscrapers which constituted Guildford.
群山東盡頭的后方矗立著七座摩天大樓，那就是紀爾福德。
Seeing them, the Savage made a grimace; but he was to become reconciled to them in course of time;
野蠻人一見那些大樓便不禁苦笑；但是隨著時間推移他必須與它們和諧相處，
for at night they twinued gaily with geometrical constellations, or else, flood-lighted, pointed their luminous fingers,
因為到了晚上不是它們那些幾何圖形的星星快活地眨眼，便是它們在泛光的照耀下，像發光的手指指向深杳神秘的天空。
(with a gesture whose significance nobody in England but the Savage now understood) solemnly towards the plumbless mysteries of heaven.
那手勢的意義在全英格蘭除了野蠻人之外恐怕是誰也體會不到的。
In the valley which separated the Hog's Back from the sandy hill on which the lighthouse stood,
帕特南就在峽谷里，在野豬背與他的燈塔所在的小山之間，
Puttenham was a modest little village nine stories high, with silos, a poultry farm, and a small vitamin-D factory.
是一個不起眼的小村莊。九層樓，有圓柱形糧倉，有一個家禽場和一個小小的維他命D工廠。
On the other side of the lighthouse,towards the South, the ground fell away in long slopes of heather to a chain of ponds.
燈塔南面是長滿石南的漫長的緩坡，地勢漸漸降下去，跟一串池治連在一起。
Beyond them, above the intervening woods, rose the fourteen-story tower of Elstead.
池沼以外的森林后矗立著一座十四層的愛爾絲特大樓。
Dim in the hazy English air, Hindhead and Selborne invited the eye into a blue romantic distance.
紅鹿頭和塞爾波恩在朦朧的英格蘭空氣里若隱若現，把眼光吸引到浪漫的藍幽幽的遠方。
But it was not alone the distance that had attracted the Savage to his lighthouse; the near was as seductive as the far.
但是吸引野蠻人到他的燈塔來的還不僅是那遠景；迷醉他的還有這兒的近景。
