第3章 观英伦跌宕史感人本精神之衰落(2)

CFor the combination of both blessings in the one simple process of picking oakum, Oliver bowed low by the direction of the beadle, and was then hurried away to a large ward, where, on a rough hard bed, he sobbed himself to sleep. What a noble illustration of the tender laws of this favoured country!They let the paupers go to sleep!

A

“Bow to the board,”said Bumble. Oliver brushed away two or three tears that were Lingering in his eyes, and seeing no board but the table, fortunately bowed to that.

“给各位理事鞠一躬。”邦布尔说道。奥利弗抹掉在眼睛里打转的两三滴泪水,他看见前面只有一张桌子,没有木板,只好将就着朝着桌子鞠了一躬。

board 一词除了有“木板”的意思外,还可以指“理事会,委员会”。

B

Oliver was frightened at the sight of so many gentlemen, which made him tremble;and the beadle gave him another tap behind, which made him cry;and these two causes made him answer in a very Low and hesitating voice;whereupon a gentleman in a white waistcoat said he was a fool, which was a capital way of raising his spirits, and putting him quite at his ease.

奥利弗一见有这么多绅士不禁大吃一惊,浑身直哆嗦,干事又在背后捅了他一下,捅得他大哭。由于这两个原因,他回答的时候声音很低,而且很犹豫。一位穿白色背心的先生当即断言,他是一个傻瓜。应该说明,预言吉凶是这位绅士提神开心的一种重要方法。

句中的三个“which”分别引导三个非限制性定语从句。

C

For the combination of both blessings in the one simple process of picking oakum, Oliver bowed Low by the direction of the beadle, and was then hurried away to a Large ward, where, on a rough hard bed, he sobbed himself to sleep.

为了答谢他们通过拆旧麻绳这么一个简简单单的工序,把授业和传艺这两大善举融为一体,奥利弗在邦布尔的指教下又深深地鞠了一躬,便被匆匆忙忙带进一间大收容室,在那里,在一张高低不平的硬床上,他抽抽答答地睡着了。

AIn every rage of wind and rush of rain, I heard pursuers. Twice, I could have sworn there was a knocking and whispering at the outer door.BWith these fears upon me, I began either to imagine or recall that I had had mysterious warnings of this man"s approach.That, for weeks gone by, I had passed faces in the streets which I had thought like his.That, these likenesses had grown more numerous, as he, coming over the sea, had drawn nearer.That, his wicked spirit had somehow sent these messengers to mine, and that now on this stormy night he was as good as his word, and with me.

Crowding up with these reflections came the reflection that I had seen him with my childish eyes to be a desperately violent man;that I had heard that other convict reiterate that he had tried to murder him;that I had seen him down in the ditch tearing and fighting like a wild beast. Out of such remembrances I brought into the light of fire, a half-formed terror that it might not be safe to be shut up there with him in the dead of the wild solitary night.This dilated until it filled the room, and impelled me to take a candle and go in and look at my dreadful burden.

He had rolled a handkerchief round his head, and his face was set and lowering in his sleep. But he was asleep, and quietly too, though he had a pistol lying on the pillow.CAssured of this, I softly removed the key to the outside of his door, and turned it on him before I again sat down by the fire.Gradually I slipped from the chair and lay on the floor.When I awoke, without having parted in my sleep with the perception of my wretchedness, the clocks of the Eastward churches were striking five, the candles were wasted out, the fire was dead, and the wind and rain intensified the thick black darkness.

THIS IS THE END OF THE SECOND STAGE OF PIP"S EXPECTATIONS.

He heard something behind him, the brush of feet.Turning, he saw over the prostrate columns another figure;then before he was aware, another was at hand on the right, under a trilithon, and another on the left.The dawn shone full on the front of the man westward, and Clare could discern from this that he was tall, and walked as if trained.They all closed in with evident purpose.Her story then was true!Springing to his feet, he looked around for a weapon, loose stone, means of escape, anything.By this time the nearest man was upon him.

“It is no use, sir,”he said.“There are sixteen of us on the Plain, and the whole country is reared.”

A“Let her finish her sleep!”he implored in a whisper of the men as they gathered round.
