評(píng)論

stretch itself, yawn, prick up its ears, and suddenly bound to its feet, and fix its longing, hungry stare upon those far away places. But all she said was, smiling gently: "How I envy you."
伸著懶腰，打著哈欠，豎起了耳朵，突然站了起來，目光里充滿了渴望和貪婪，目不轉(zhuǎn)睛地注視著他去過的那些遙遠(yuǎn)的地方。然而她只是溫柔地微笑著說：“我真嫉妒你啊?！?/div>
It has been, he said, "wonderful—especially Russia. I even spent some days on a river boat on the Volga. Do you remember that boatman's song that you used to play?"
“旅行。”他說，“真的很棒——特別是在俄國(guó)。我甚至在伏爾加河上的一只船上度過了好幾天。你還記得你過去常常彈的那首船夫曲嗎？”
Yes. It began to play as she spoke.
“記得?！本驮谒f話時(shí)，心中開始響起這首曲子。
Do you ever play it now?
“你現(xiàn)在還在彈嗎？”
No, I've no piano.
“不彈了，我沒有鋼琴?！?/div>
He was amazed at that. "But what has become of your beautiful piano?"
他聽到這感到十分驚訝?！澳隳羌芷恋匿撉倌?？”
She made a little grimace. "Sold. Ages ago."
她苦笑了一下?！百u了，幾年前就賣了。”
But you were so fond of music, he wondered.
“可你是那么喜歡音樂?！彼械胶芗{悶。
I've no time for it now, said she.
“我現(xiàn)在沒時(shí)間欣賞音樂了?！彼f。
He let it go at that. "That river life," he went on, "is something quite special. After a day or two you cannot realize that you have ever known another. And it is not necessary to know the language—the life of the boat creates a bond between you and the people that's more than sufficient. You eat with them, pass the day with them, and in the evening there is that endless singing."
他就此打住了這個(gè)話題，然后繼續(xù)說道伏爾加河上的生活，非常特別。在船上待一兩天以后，不知不覺中你就想不起來自己還曾經(jīng)歷過那以外的生活。而且你不必懂他們的語言——船上的生活足以使你和那里的人建立起一種密切的關(guān)系。你和他們吃在一起，白天一起度過。到了晚上就通宵達(dá)旦地唱歌?！?/div>
She shivered, hearing the boatman's song break out again loud and tragic, and seeing the boat floating on the darkening river with melancholy trees on either side...
她哆嗦了一下，仿佛又聽到了船夫們嘹亮而悲愴的歌聲；仿佛看到了那船在黑暗的河面上飄蕩著，而河岸兩側(cè)的樹木令人感傷……
You'd like almost everything about Russian life, he said warmly. "It's so informal, so impulsive, so free. And then the peasants are so splendid. I remember the evening some friends and I went for a picnic by the Black Sea.
“你會(huì)喜歡俄國(guó)生活的方方面面的，”他熱情地說’“它是那么隨意，那么刺激，那么自由。還有那兒的農(nóng)民簡(jiǎn)直是太好了。我還記得有一天晚上，我和一些朋友在黑海岸邊野餐。
