    徐霞客一生周游考察了十六个省，足迹几乎遍及全国。他在考察的过程中，从来不盲目迷信书本上的结论。他发现前人研究的地理的记载有许多不很可靠的地方。为了进行真实细致的考察，他很少乘车坐船，几乎全靠双脚翻山越岭，长途跋涉；为了弄清大自然的真相，他总是挑选道路艰险的山区，人迹稀少的森林进行考察，发现了许多奇山秀景；他常常选择不同的时间和季节，多次重游各地名山，反复观察变换的奇景。

“Of making books there is no end," complained the Preacher; and did not perceive how highly he was praising letters as an occupation. There is no end, indeed, to making books or experiments, or to travel, or to gathering wealth. Problem gives rise to problem. We may study for ever, and we are never as learned as we would. We have never made a statue worthy of our dreams. And when we have discovered a continent, or crossed a chain of mountains, it is only to find another ocean or another plain upon the further side. In the infinite universe there is room for our swiftest diligence and to spare. It is not like the works of Carlyle, which can be read to an end. Even in a corner of it, in a private park, or in the neighbourhood of a single hamlet, the weather and the seasons keep so deftly changing that although we walk there for a lifetime there will be always something new to startle and delight us.

    得病以前，我受父母宠爱，在家中横行霸道，一旦隔离，拘禁在花园山坡上一幢小房子里，我顿感打入冷宫，十分郁郁不得志起来。一个春天的傍晚，园中百花怒放，父母在园中设宴，一时宾客云集，笑语四溢。我在山坡的小屋里，悄悄掀起窗帘，窥见园中大千世界，一片繁华，自己的哥姐，堂表弟兄，也穿插其间，个个喜气洋洋。一霎时，一阵被人摒弃，为世所遗的悲愤兜上心头，禁不住痛哭起来。

大家要踊跃点吖~

Suppose he could take one meal so compact and comprehensive that he should never hunger any more; suppose him, at a glance, to take in all the features of the world and allay the desire for knowledge; suppose him to do the like in any province of experience - would not that man be in a poor way for amusement ever after?

One who goes touring on foot with a single volume in his knapsack reads with circumspection, pausing often to reflect, and often laying the book down to contemplate the landscape or the prints in the inn parlour; for he fears to come to an end of his entertainment, and be left companionless on the last stages of his journey.

1.假设他可以好好地吃完一顿饭从此以后就不再饥饿；假设一看他就是可以理解地球上所有的特点的人，并且减少他对知识的渴望；又或者假设他在何地都是做同样的事情——从此以后，他不再是缺乏娱乐的男人。
一个背着背包（里面装着仅一卷书）徒步旅行的人总是很细心地去阅读，他常常中途停下而沉思，也经常放下书去欣赏风景或者是旅店休息室里的那些照片。因为他害怕他的娱乐就此结束，也害怕在他最后的一段旅程上被朋友们抛弃。

2.设想一下，有个人，他吃了一顿无比丰盛，包罗万有的大餐，从此不再感到饥饿；他一眼尽览世界景观，从此对知识兴味索然。如果他把所有事都以这种方式体验完了，那么接下来的日子，他会不会百无聊赖？
如果一个人只带了一卷书去徒步旅行，他会一丝不苟地去研读这卷书。时不时停下来沉思一番，或者放下书，凝视风景，打量旅馆大厅里的版画。因为他担心，书读完，就没了乐子，剩下的旅途会无所事事。

渴望是永远的乐趣，一笔如地产般真实稳固的财富，用之不尽，取之不竭。每年我们都会因为拥有渴望而充满活力。一个人如有许多希望，精神便会富足。人生只不过是一场单调乏味且编导拙劣的戏，除非我们对这戏有些兴趣;对于既没有艺术细胞也没有科学细胞的人来说，这个世界只不过是各种颜色的堆积，或者是一条崎岖小路，一不小心就会摔伤小腿。

1.Desire is a permanent pleasure and a treasure as real and solid as the real estate which cannot be exhausted. We are full of energy every year since we have the desire. One will be mentally rich if he has so many hopes. Life is just a monotonic and poor-organized play, unless we are interested in it. For those who have neither the art sense nor the scientific sense, life is just an accumulation of different colors or a rugged path, where one will break his leg if he is not prudential enough.

2.Desire is eternal delight. It is a treasure, which is as fixed and real as the estate and can never be used up. Every year we are refueled with buoyancy owing to desire. If one is full of hopes, he will be rich spiritually. Life is a tedious drama which is badly written and directed. Unless we are interested in it, to those who lack of artistic and scientific talents, the world is just a mess of colors, or a rugged lane, on which we will break our calf if not careful enough.

3.Desire is a lasting fun which is like a real and steady fortune as estate. It is inexhaustible in supply and always available for use. Every year we are filled with energy by having desire. If a person has many hopes, he will have a rich mind. Life just looks like a boring and poor wrote-played show, unless you are interested in it. For those persons who are not given art and scientific cells, this world is just a mass of the whole colors or a rugged pathway where you may break your leg without cautious.

追忆往事 (大家先自己翻吧，翻完可以上网找一下参考译文^^加油^^) 投稿截止日期 5月16 12:00PM

The old lady had always been proud of the great rose-tree in her garden, and was fond of telling how it had grown from a cutting she had brought years before from Italy, when she was first married. She and her husband had been travelling back in their carriage from Rome ( it was before the time of railways ) and on a bad piece of road south of Siena they had broken down, and had been forced to pass the night in a little house by the road-side. The accommodation was wretched of course; she had spent a sleepless night, and rising early had stood, wrapped up, at her window, with the cool air blowing on her face, to watch the dawn. She could still, after all these years, remember the blue mountains with the bright moon above them, and how a far-off town on one of the peaks had gradually grown whiter and whiter, till the moon faded, the mountains were touched with the pink of the rising sun, and suddenly the town was lit as by an illumination, one window after another catching and reflecting the sun’s beam, till at last the whole little city twinkled and sparkled up in the sky like a nest of stars .

 

1：老太太一直为花园里那棵高大的玫瑰树感到骄傲。她爱跟人讲那玫瑰是从一根截枝长成参天大树的历程。那根截枝是老太太几十年前从意大利带回来的。那时她才新婚燕尔，和丈夫从罗马乘马车归来（那时还没火车）。他们的马车在锡耶纳南部一条颠簸不堪的路上抛了锚，因此不得不在路旁的小旅馆住上一夜。住宿条件当然是糟糕透顶。她翻来覆去，整夜无法入眠，早早爬起来，裹着严严实实地站在窗前，清风拂面，静赏黎明曙光。几十年后，她仍然记得，当时蓝霭缭绕的山上挂着一轮明月，远处山顶上的小镇慢慢变白。月色渐褪，晨光初露，染红了山川。小镇刹那间亮堂起来，窗户接一个地吸收和反射着太阳的光芒。终于，整个小镇都光芒四射，如同满空繁星。

 

2：一直以来老妇人都对她花园里那颗高大的玫瑰树倍感自豪，树苗是多年以前她新婚时从意大利买回来的，她总是津津有味的跟人们说它是如何从一棵小树苗成长起来的。当时她和他的丈夫驾着马车从罗马往回走（那时候还没有铁路），可是在锡耶纳南部一段崎岖的路上马车出了故障，无奈之下他们只好在路边的一间旅馆过一宿。当然，住宿条件是比较恶劣的，因此那晚她失眠了。第二天早上，她早早地起了床，裹好围巾之后，她站在窗边等待日出，凉飕飕的风从她的脸颊拂过。这么多年过去了，她仍然记得那时青翠的山峦，山峦上的那一轮明月，以及遥远山顶上的一个小镇是怎么逐渐变得越来越明亮直到月亮消失在边际.冉冉升起的太阳抹红了青翠的山峦，霎时间，整个小镇被阳光笼罩，窗户一个接一个地打开来采集太阳的光芒，直到最后，这个小小的城市就像星巢一样在天空中闪闪发光。

 

3：那个老妪总是对她花园里的那大棵的玫瑰树引以为豪，她津津乐道于这棵树是几年前她刚结婚的时候在意大利买回来的，并且是如何由刚买回来的参差不齐长成参天大树的模样。那个时候，她和她的丈夫正坐在从罗马旅游回来的马车上（那时还没有火车）。当经过锡耶纳南部一段崎岖的路的时候，他们的马车坏了，所以他们不得不在路边的一间小房子里度过一晚。这次的借宿显然是很难熬的，她整晚都合不上眼。第二天她很早就起床，站在窗子前望着日出发呆，任冷风吹拂她的脸。这些年虽已逝，她仍记得那晚他们头顶上的那片青山和那轮明月，以及在其中一个山顶上的遥远的小镇是如何在月光的消逝中逾白。山峰与旭日的红光相接，霎那间这个小镇在阳光的照射下变得通亮。窗子一个接一个地吸取和回射太阳的光束，直至最后整个小镇在空中闪闪发亮，就好像星星在天上织的网。

 

 

4：这位老妇人一直为她花园里这棵高大的玫瑰树感到骄傲，孜孜不倦地讲着它是如何从一截小苗成长起来的。这截小苗还是多年以前，她新婚时，从意大利带回来的。她和丈夫坐着马车，从罗马返回（那时还没有出现铁路）。在锡耶纳南部的一段崎岖道路上，马车出了点意外，他们被迫在路边的一间小屋过夜。住宿条件是十分拙劣的；她一夜无眠，早早地爬了起来，裹着围巾，站在窗前，任凭凉风吹着脸颊，等待着黎明。过了这么多年后，她仍然记得，那些在皎洁月光照耀下的蓝色山峦，还有一个山峰上遥远的小镇是如何渐渐地变得越来越白。直到月光褪去，山峦被初升的太阳抹红了，一瞬间，小镇就像被照亮了一样，一个接着一个的窗户也镀上了和反射着太阳的光芒，直到最后，整个小城都在天空下闪烁发光着，就像天上陨落的满巢星星。

 

5：那位老妇人一直很为她花园里的玫瑰树感到很自豪，并很喜欢告诉别人它是怎样从很多年前她刚结婚时从意大利带回来的一小枝条成长起来的。那时，她和丈夫从罗马乘马车回来（当时还没有铁路），在锡耶纳南部的一段很糟糕的路上马车出来故障，因而不得不在路边的一间小屋子过夜。当然，住宿的条件很差；她整晚都难以入眠，于是她就下了床，披上外套，在窗前迎着冷风观赏黎明的曙光。这么多年以后，她依然记得当时眼前的一切：青山上挂着一轮明月，远处的山顶上的小镇一点一点的变白变亮，直到月亮下了山；而这时山岭开始笼罩于刚刚升起的太阳的粉色的红晕中；刹那间，小镇仿佛被点亮，窗户一个接一个反射着太阳投去来的光束，最后，整个小城在阳光下闪闪发光，仿佛一个由星星织成的网。

中译英

 

当你步入婚姻的殿堂,你可能认为已经爬到了山顶,剩下的只是悠闲地沿着平缓的山坡下山.然而,这只是恋爱的结束,婚姻的开始.拥有一颗骄傲而又叛逆的心,坠入爱河与赢得爱情都是难事;但维持爱情也很重要,夫妻都应相敬如宾,互相关爱. 当真爱起始于圣坛之时, 夫妻之间便开始了一场智慧与慷慨的竞争,一场为了一个不可能实现的理想而持续一生的奋斗. 不可能实现? 啊,当然不可能,因为他们不是一个人,而是两个呀.

1.When you head into the hall of marriage, you may probably think you have already come to the hilltop. What lies before is merely to take a stroll along the gently dipping slope. However, it just marks the end of love affair and also the start of the love career. At the beginning of the union in the wedlock, both of you are proud and yet rebellious within. Both falling into love and winning one’s love are tough challenge, while maintaining love is of the equal importance. Both of you should love each other with respect and care. The genuine love commences at the altar, from when there comes a competition of wisdom and generosity between the married couple and a lifelong fight for an unattainable ideal. Not attainable? Ah, of course unattainable. After all, they are not singular but two individuals.

 

2.When you get into the palace of marriage, you might think that you’ve arrived at the top of the mountain, and what remains is to walk down the gentle slope leisurely. However, this is only the conclusion of a romantic relationship, while the inauguration of marriage. Having a personality of pride and rebellion, it’s not easy to fall in love with, or gain love from someone. Yet to nurture love is also crucial. A couple should treat each other with respect, as they entertain guests, and care for each other. True love starts from the altar. Since then, a wise and unselfish competition, a struggle out of the question but lasting for the whole life, opens fire between the couple,. Out of the question? Oh, sure it’s out of the question, as they are not a person, but a couple.

3.Now you have married your partner, the thinking that once the peak is reached, the only thing left is to go down along the smooth hillslope with relative ease might come to you. However, this is only the end of a romance and the beginning of a marriage. Neither falling in love or winning the heart is easy under the force of an arrogant and rebelious heart. Yet, the maintenance of a marriage is vital, for a couple should deem each other with respect and concern. When the true love raises from the altar of marriage, a competition of wisdom and generosity between the couple, and a struggle which lasts life long of an unlikely-to happen ideality are also brought about. Unlikely to happen? Ah, unlikely indeed, for they are not one but two distinct individuals.

4.When you step into a church to marry some one, you may think that you have climbed the top of the mountain and next you just need to walk down along the gentle slope at a leisurely pace. However, this is just the ending of love and the beginning of marriage. Both of you have a proud and traitorous mind, it is uneasy for you to fall in love with each other. Meanwhile, to maintain love is also very important. The couple should treat each other with respect and take care of each other. When true love begins, there is a competition of wisdom and generosity between the couple. It is a struggle for a dream which can not be achieved for the whole life. Why not? AH, of course not. Because they are not alone, they are always with each other

 

 

 

翻译沙龙 第一期

Youth  By Samuel Erman

Youth is not a time of life, it is a state of mind, it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees, it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions, it is the freshness of the deep spring of life.

Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years; we grow old by deserting our idea.

Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.

Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being's heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing childlike appetite of what's next and the joy of the game of living. In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station: so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from the infinite, so long as you are young.

When the aerials are down, and your spirits are covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you've grown old even at 20, but as long as your aerials are up to catch waves of optimism, there's hope you may die young at 80.

 

各位童鞋，抓紧时间啦，周末（05-03）截稿↖(^ω^)↗

第一次时间比较紧，以后会有充足的一周的啦，加油！

所有译文集合：

1.青春年华

青春年华并不是生命的年华，它是一种心灵的状态，它不是粉颊，红唇，柔膝，而是深沉的意志，激扬的想象，活跃的情绪，它是生命深泉的活水。青春意味着勇锐阶段性地盖过懦弱，追逐冒险的心胜过安逸的心。这在一个六旬男子身上体现得比一个20岁的小伙子更加充分。随着岁月流逝，我们并不变老，只是当我们丢弃一些理想，才坠入暮年。 岁月穿梭，皮肤可能起皱，但抛却热情，就会使灵魂皱巴巴。焦虑，害怕，丧失自信，都将导致心志受挫，意气成灰。 不管是六十还是十六，奇迹总是诱惑着每一个人类的心，那是永不言弃的孩童之心，渴望未来，渴望生活这个游戏的欢乐。在你我心中，有无线电台——只要它还从冥冥中接受美，希望，欢呼，勇气，力量的讯息，你就依然年轻。当收下电台的天线，还有你的心灵被玩世不恭和悲观厌世的冰雪覆盖，那么即使你正当二十，也垂垂老矣，然则如果撑起天线，捕捉乐观，你就有望在80高龄撒手人寰时依然年轻。

 2.论年轻 塞缪尔.埃尔曼

年轻不以岁月长短来衡量。年轻是一种精神状态。红光满面，唇如胭脂，身手敏捷，不一定年轻。意志坚定，思接千里，情感丰富，如置身生命之林的深春季节，才是真的年轻。 年轻应英勇无畏，而非忸怩不安；应极富挑战精神，而非贪图安逸。而常常，60岁的老翁比二十岁的小伙子表现得更明显。年岁不能使人变老。停止思考，我们便已老去。岁月在皮肤上刻上皱纹，热情的丧失却在灵魂上留下沟壑。忧虑，恐惧与不自信使灵魂投降，精神也被尘封。 无论六十或是十六，每个人的内心都可以对新奇充满企待，存留孩童时代对未来的好奇，对生活的欢欣。你我心中都有一个无线电台。只要电台还能从上帝那里接收美丽，希望，快乐，勇气和力量的信息，你就能永保年轻。 当天线垂下，愤世嫉俗之雪与悲观主义之冰覆盖你的心灵，那么即使你才二十岁，也已衰老。但只要你的天线一直立着，能捕捉乐观的电波，可能八十寿终正寝，你依然年轻.

3.青春萨缪尔•埃尔曼

青春不是生命的长度，而是一种心境。青春不是红润的双颊，也不是红唇柔脚；它是一种意念，是丰富的想象力，是满腔的热情，是生命中生机勃勃的春天。 青春，意味着多变而又不凡的勇气战胜了懦弱，对冒险渴望打败安稳的追求。而这通常发生在60岁的老人身上，而非20岁的年轻人。没人能短短几年就长大，我们都是在不断摒弃自己的观点中变老的。 岁月催人老，但却无法吞噬灵魂。担忧、害怕、惶恐粉碎了我们的心脏，而灵魂最终化为灰烬。 无论是60岁还是16岁，每个人的心中都会痴迷于未知的事物，都孩童般对生命的下一站将出现的精彩有着坚定地信念。你我心中都有一个无线电台：无论何时，若你仍接收到美丽、希望、激励、勇气和力量，你都依然年轻。 当你的电台的天线倒下之时，愤世嫉俗、悲观厌世包围你之时，你将不再年少，即使此时你只有20岁；然而，只要你紧抓乐观的天线，可能你死于80岁但依然年轻。

4.青春

青春不是指生命中的时间，而是思想的状态。青春不是粉颊红唇，也不是动如脱兔，它是坚定的意志，是优质的想象，是丰沛的情感，是清凉深邃的生命之泉。 青春意味着克服怯懦的勇气，意味着抛弃安逸追求激情的渴望，这是在不断变化中的主流。而这也常常展现在60岁的老人身上，而不是20岁的小伙子身上。没有人仅仅因为数年光阴就变老；我们是因为竭尽思想，才步入老年。 光阴或许会在脸上刻出痕迹，但失去热情，则会使灵魂老去。忧虑，畏惧，自疑，都会使心灵折腰，使人弃思想于尘土中。 无论60岁还是16岁，在每个人心中，都有对未知诱惑的追求，都有探求下一步的无穷的孩子似的欲望，都有在生存游戏中获取的愉悦。在你我心灵深处，总有一个无线电台：只要它还能从无尽中接收美丽、希望、愉快、勇气和力量，只要你还有青春。 当这个天线倒下了，你的思想被愤世嫉俗和悲观厌世的冰雪覆盖时，尽管你还只是20岁，但你已经老去。然而，只要你的天线还屹立不倒，不断地接收乐观积极的电波，尽管在80岁，你也依旧怀有希望，永葆青春。

5.花样年华

   青春不是一个时代的生活，它是一种精神状态. 红润的脸色,鲜红的嘴唇,柔软的膝盖并不是青春.真正的青春是一种坚强的意志力；是一种有品位的想象力；也是一种充满活力的情感力；更是一种赋予清新泉水的生命力. 青春意味着一种天生的优势：勇气战胜胆怯，冒险精神取代安逸生活。这些通常存在于60岁的人身上而不是20岁的小伙子。没有人可以仅通过岁月就变得老成，我们之所以那样是因为我们放弃了自己的思想。岁月在肌肤上留下了痕迹，但是丧失了热情等同于在灵魂上刻下烙印。焦虑、恐惧和自我否定使得内心变形，意志变为落地尘埃。 60岁也好，16岁也好，只要在每个人的内心存在对奇迹的好奇、对将来和生活乐趣的天真无尽的探索。在我们的心中有一个无线电台：只要我们可以接收美、希望、勇气和力量这些信号，我们就是年少的。然而，当你的天线停止接收信号或者你的思想被厌俗和悲观的冰雪所覆盖时，即使你只有20岁也会显得老成。只要你的天线积极接收乐观的波长，那么到80岁去世那天你仍然活在花样年华。

音乐

The name David Foster doesn’t ring a bell with most people, but his music strikes loud chords with almost anyone tuned in to the pop scene. They are sung by various performers, form stars like Whiney Houston to the new group All-4-One, but the songs all bear the unmistakable Foster touch: the soaring vocals, the lush arrangements dripping with strings and key boards, the crescendos built on crescendos. Whether the sound is timeless or just stuck I a time warp is a matter of taste. But it sure does sell---and earn him hefty royalties. (Charles P. Alexander, The True King of Pop)

Baptizing at Home

‘Sorrow, I baptize thee in the name of the Father, and of the son, and of the Holy Ghost.’

She sprinkled the water, and there was silence.

‘Say “Amen”, children.’

The tiny voices piped in obedient response ‘Amen!’

Tess went on:

‘We receive this child’-and so forth-‘and do sign him with the sign of the Cross.’

Here she dipped her hand into the basin, and fervently drew an immense cross upon the baby with her forefinger, continuing with the customary sentences as to his manfully fighting against sin, the world, and the devil, and being a faithful soldier and servant unto his life’s end. She duly went on with the Lord’s Prayer, the children lisping it after her in a thin gnatlike wail, till, at the conclusion, raising their voices to clerk’s pitch, they again piped into the silence, ‘Amen!’ (Thomas Hardy, Tess of the D’Urbervilles)

The Sunrise over the Sea

 

…The long waste of foreshore lay moaning under the dawn and the sea; the ocean was a flat dark strip with a white edge. Over the gloomy sea the sky grew red. Quickly the fire spread among the clouds and scattered them. Crimson burned to orange, orange to dull gold, and in a golden glitter the sun came up, dribbling fierily over the waves in little splashes, as if someone had gone along and the light had spilled from her pail as she walked. (D. H. Lawrence, Sons and Lovers)

 

Striking Matches with Teeth

After some manipulation, he managed to get the bunch between the heels of his mittened hands. In this fashion he carried it to his mouth. The ice crackled and snapped when by a violent effort he opened his mouth. He drew the lower jaw in, curled the upper lip out of the way and scraped the bunch with his upper teeth in order to separate a match. He succeeded in getting one, which he dropped on his lap. He was no better off. He could not pick it up. Then he devised a way. He picked it up in his teeth and scratched it on his leg. Twenty times he scratched before he succeeded in lighting it. As it flamed he held it with his teeth to the birch bark. But the burning brimstone went up his nostrils and into his lungs, causing him to cough spasmodically. The match fell into the snow and went out. (Jack London, To Build a Fire)

  Five Moves Become One in Killing

  As the last blow struck home, Beth Marshall leaped on Cleary, raking his face with her nails and ripping both his cheeks wide open. Shrieking ferally, she brought her hands high to scratch again, but Cleary---in five moves so swift and sinuous they became one---pulled the k-bar from his first victim’s chest, pivoted, drove the blade between Beth Marshall’s eyes, twisted it ninety degrees, and withdrew it before her nails could break his skin a second time. （Tom Topor, The Codicil）
