1. Wuthering Heights——《呼啸山庄》
You'll pass the churchyard, Mr Lockwood, on your way back to the Grange, and you'll see the three graverestones close to the moor. Catherine's, the middle one, is old now, and half buried in plants which have grown over it. On one side is Edgar Linton's, and on the other is Heathcliff's new one. If you stay there a moment, and watch the insects flying in the warm summer air, and listen to the soft wind breathing through the grass, you'll understand how quietly they rest, the sleepers in that quiet earth.
您回画眉山庄的路上会经过教堂墓地,洛克伍德先生,您可以看见靠近荒原的三个墓碑。中间凯瑟琳的已经很旧了,被周围生长的杂草掩盖住了一半。一边是艾加林顿的,另一边是西斯克里夫的新墓碑。如果您在那儿呆一会儿,看着在温暖夏日的空气里纷飞的昆虫,听着在草丛中喘息的柔风,您就会知道在静谧的泥土下,长眠的人在多么平静的安息。
2. The Scarlet Letter——《红字》
The founders of a new colony, whatever Utopia of human virtue and happiness they might originally project, have invariably recognised it among their earliest practical necessities to allot a portion of the virgin soil as a cemetery, and another portion as the site of a prison. In accordance with this rule, it may safely be assumed that the forefathers of Boston had built the first prison-house somewhere in the vicinity of Cornhill, almost as seasonably as they marked out the first burial-ground, on Isaac Johnson's lot, and round about his grave, which subsequently became the nucleus of all the congregated sepulchres in the old churchyard of King's Chapel. Certain it is that, some fifteen or twenty years after the settlement of the town, the wooden jail was already marked with weather-stains and other indications of age, which gave a yet darker aspect to its beetle-browed and gloomy front. The rust on the ponderous iron-work of its oaken door looked more antique than any thing else in the New World. Like all that pertains to crime, it seemed never to have known a youthful era. Before this ugly edifice, and between it and the wheel-track of the street, was a grass-plot, much overgrown with burdock, pig-weed, apple-peru, and such unsightly vegetation, which evidently found something congenial in the soil that had so early borne the black flower of civilised society, a prison. But, on one side of the portal, and rooted almost at the threshold, was a wild rose-bush, covered, in this month of June, with its delicate gems, which might be imagined to offer their fragrance and fragile beauty to the prisoner as he went in, and to the condemned criminal as he came forth to his doom, in token that the deep heart of Nature could pity and be kind to him.
新殖民地的开拓者们,不管他们的头脑中起初有什么关于人类品德和幸福的美妙理想,总要在各种实际需要的草创之中,忘不了划出一片未开垦的处女地充当墓地,再则出另一片土地来修建监狱。根据这一惯例,我们可以有把握地推断:波士顿的先民们在谷山一带的某处地方修建第一座监狱,同在艾萨克.约朝逊①地段标出头一块垄地几乎是在同一时期。后来便以他的坟茔为核心,扩展成王家教堂的那一片累累墓群的古老墓地。可以确定无疑地说,早在镇子建立十五年或二十年之际,那座木造监狱就已经因风吹日晒雨淋和岁月的流逝而为它那狰狞和阴森的门面增加了几分晦暗凄楚的景象,使它那橡木大门上沉重的铁活的斑斑锈痕显得比新大陆的任何陈迹都益发古老。象一切与罪恶二字息息相关的事物一样,这座监狱似乎从来不曾经历过自己的青春韶华。从这座丑陋的大房子门前,一直到轧着车辙的街道,有一片草地,上面过于繁茂地簇生着牛蒡、茨藜、毒莠等等这类不堪入目的杂草,这些杂草显然在这块土地上找到了共通的东西,因为正是在这块土地上早早便诞生了文明社会的那栋黑花——监狱。然而,在大门的一侧,几乎就在门限处,有一丛野玫瑰挺然而立,在这六月的时分,盛开着精致的宝石般的花朵,这会使人想象,它们是在向步入牢门的囚犯或跨出阴暗的刑徒奉献着自己的芬芳和妩媚,借以表示在大自然的深深的心扉中,对他们仍存着一丝怜悯和仁慈。
3. Hamlet’ Monologue ——<<哈姆雷特的独白>>
To be, or not to be- that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them. To die- to sleep-
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heartache, and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to. 'Tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die- to sleep.
To sleep- perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub!
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause. There's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life.
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
Th' oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely,
The pangs of despis'd love, the law's delay,
The insolence of office, and the spurns
That patient merit of th' unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin? Who would these fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death-
The undiscover'd country, from whose bourn
No traveller returns- puzzles the will,
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all,
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprises of great pith and moment
With this regard their currents turn awry
And lose the name of action.
生存还是毁灭?这是个问题。
究竟哪样更高贵,去忍受那狂暴的命运无情的摧残 还是挺身去反抗那无边的烦恼,把它扫一个干净。
去死,去睡就结束了,如果睡眠能结束我们心灵的创伤和肉体所承受的千百种痛苦,那真是生存求之不得的天大的好事。去死,去睡,
去睡,也许会做梦!
唉,这就麻烦了,即使摆脱了这尘世 可在这死的睡眠里又会做些什么梦呢?真得想一想,就这点顾虑使人受着终身的折磨,
谁甘心忍受那鞭打和嘲弄,受人压迫,受尽侮蔑和轻视,忍受那失恋的痛苦,法庭的拖延,衙门的横征暴敛,默默无闻的劳碌却只换来多少欺辱。但他自己只要用把尖刀就能解脱了。
谁也不甘心,呻吟、流汗拖着这残生,可是对死后又感觉到恐惧,又从来没有任何人从死亡的国土里回来,因此动摇了,宁愿忍受着目前的苦难 而不愿投奔向另一种苦难。
顾虑就使我们都变成了懦夫,使得那果断的本色蒙上了一层思虑的惨白的容颜,本来可以做出伟大的事业,由于思虑就化为乌有了,丧失了行动的能力。
4. A Tale of Two Cities——《双城记》
They said of him that it was the most peaceful face ever seen there. What passed through Sydney Carton's mind as he walked those last steps to his death? Perhaps he saw into the future...
'I see Barsad, Defarge, the judges, all dying under this terrible machine. I see a beautiful city being built in this terrible place. I see that new people will live here, in real freedom. I see the lives for whom I give my life, happy and peaceful in that England which I shall never see again. I see Lucie when she is old, crying for me on this day every year, and I know that she and her husband remember me until their deaths. I see their son, who has my name, now a man. I see him become a famous lawyer and make my name famous by his work. I hear him tell his son my story.
It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far far better rest than I go to, than I have ever known.'
人们谈论他说他的脸是在那种地方见过的最平静的脸。当西德尼·卡登迈着最后的步伐向死亡走去时,他的脑海中想到了什么呢?也许他看到了未来……
“我看到德法热、法官们都在这个可怕的机器下面死去。我看见一个美丽的城市正在这片可怕的土地上建立起来。我看到新一代的人民将在真正的自由中生活。我看到我为之付出生命的人们,他们幸福安宁的生活在我再也见不到的英国。我看见路西年老的时候,每一年的这一天都会为我哭泣,我知道她和她的丈夫会一直到死都记着我。我看见他们的儿子,有着和我一样的名字,现在长成了一个男人。我看见他成了一位著名的律师并通过他的工作而使我扬名四方。我听见他给他的儿子讲起我的故事。
我做的是一件很好的事。它远远好过我所做的所有的事。它将是一个很好的长眠,远比我所知道的要好。”
5.《钢铁是怎样炼成的》
人最宝贵的是生命.生命每个人只有一次.人的一生也应当这样度过:当回忆往事的时候,他不会因为虚度年华而悔恨,也不会因为碌碌无为而羞愧;在临死的时候,他能够说:“我的'整个生命和全部精力,都已贡献给了世界上最壮丽的事业——为人类的解放而斗争.”人应当赶紧地,充分的生活,因为意外的疾病或悲惨的事故随时都可以突然结束他的生命.
6.《童年》
“唉,你们这些人啊……!”他常常这样忽如其来地叹气,也不知在感叹什么.“人啊……”的尾音总是被他拉得长长的.
茨冈脸色红红地走到厨房中间,像一团火焰般地跳动起来:两手高高扬起,脚步快得让人难以分辨,衬衫抖动着,像燃烧一般发出灿烂地光辉.他放纵地舞着,仿佛打开门让他出去他就能跳遍全城!大家都被他感染,跟着他颤动起来.
7.《简爱》
我曾那么爱罗切斯特先生,还几乎把他当成了上帝.虽然现在我也不认为他是邪恶的.但我还能再信任他吗?还能回到他身边吗?我知道我必须离开他.对我来说他已不是过去的他,也不是我想象中的他了.我的爱情已失去,我的希望已破灭.我昏昏沉沉的躺在床上,只想死去.黑暗慢慢把我包围起来.
如果上帝赐予我财富和美貌,我会使你难以离开我,就像现在我难以离开你.上帝没有这么做,而我们的灵魂是平等的,就仿佛我们两人穿过坟墓,站在上帝脚下,彼此平等—本来就如此!
8.《复活》
我们活在世界上抱着一种荒谬的信念,以为我们自己就是生活的主人,人生在世就是为了享乐.这显然是荒谬的.要知道,既然我们被派到世界上来,那是出于某人的意志,为了达到某种目的.可是我们断定我们活着只是为了自己的快乐.显然,我们不会有好下场,就像那不执行园主意志的园户那样。主人的意志就表现在那些戒律里。只要人们执行那些戒律,人间就会建立起天堂,人们就能获得至高无上的幸福。
交友不是打猎,猎物的学历、身高和年龄,对一个交往者来说,实在不必太注意.放松身心,不存目的,不刻意寻找一个投诉的对象,那份自在和愉快必定是不同的,所谓“无为而治”的道理,就在这句话里面了.如果能和自己做好朋友,这才最是自由。这种朋友,可进可出,若即若离,可爱可怨,可聚而不会散,才是最天长地久的一种好朋友。
9.《鲁滨逊漂流记》
风声呼啸,波涛汹涌,虽然风浪还未大到后来让我司空见惯的那种,但也比我几天后看到的要小得多.不过,这已足以叫我这个初涉海上的年轻水手吓破苦胆.我默默地等待着每一层涌浪将我们吞噬.当船跌入浪谷,我总以为再也不会漂出水面.陷入极度恐惧之中的我指天发誓,如果这一次上帝垂帘让我偷生,如果让我偷生,如果我能再次踏上干燥的陆地,我保证回家,决不回头,在我有生之年再也不登船出海.我一定听从父亲的忠告,再也不走这条自取灭亡的道路。
