一条

At this moment, there walked into the room: supporting himself by a thick stick, a stout old gentleman, rather lame in one leg, who was dressed in a blue coat, striped waist-coat, nankeen breeches and gaiters, and a broad-brimmed white hat, with the sides turned up with green.

Dickens， Oliver Twist 就在这当儿，屋里走进一位胖胖的老绅士，拄着一根挺粗的手杖，一条腿颇有点瘸；他穿一件蓝色的外套，一件条纹背心和一条本色布面马裤，下面裹一幅皮绑腿，头戴翻起绿色镶边的宽檐白 1 礼貌。

There is a choice of two courses before him: one is to correct his mistakes and be a good Party member, the other is to slide further down the path and even fall into the pit of counter-revolution.

这里有两条可供选择的道路：一条是改正错误，做一个好的党员；一条是堕落下去，甚至跌入反革命坑内。

It was a dismal Sight to look at: The Ship, which by its building was Spanish, stuck fast, jaum'd in between two Rocks; all the Stern and Quarter of her was beaten to pieces, with the Sea; and as her Forecastle, which stuck in the Rocks, had run on with great Violence, her Mainmast and Foremast were brought by the Board; that is to say, broken short off; but her Boltsprit was found, and the Head and Bow appear'd firm; when I came close to her, a Dog appear'd upon her, who seeing me coming, yelp'd, and cry'd; and as soon as I call'd him, jump'd into the Sea, to come to me, and I took him into the Boat; but found him almost dead for Hunger and Thirst: I gave him a Cake of my Bread, and he eat it like a ravenous Wolf, that had been starving a Fortnight in the Snow: I then gave the poor Creature some fresh Water, with which, if I would have let him, he would have burst himself.

眼前的景象一片凄凉。从那条船的构造外形来看，是一条西班牙船，船身被紧紧地夹在两块礁石之间。船尾和后舱都被海浪击得粉碎，那搁在礁石中间的前舱，由于猛烈撞去，上面的前桅和主桅都折断倒在了甲板上，但船首的斜桁仍完好无损，船头也还坚固。我靠近破船时，船上出现了一只狗。它一见到我驶近，就汪汪吠叫起来。我向它一呼唤，它就跳到海里，游到我的小船边来，我把它拖到船上，只见它又饥又渴，快要死了。我给了它一块面包，它就大吃大嚼起来，活像一只在雪地里饿了十天半月的狼。我又给他喝了点淡水，它就猛喝，要是我不制止它的话，真的可以喝得把肚子都涨破。

There are two ways open to you, and it's up to you to choose: either you tell me about the other Communists you go with, in which case you'll be promoted forewoman, or else you don't tell me, in which case you'll go to jail.

现在两条路摆在你面前，随你自己挑：一条是告诉我，还有什么同党，那我们就升你做管车；还有一条是你不肯说，你去坐牢

A broad expanse of the river was turned to blood;1 in the middle distance the red hue brightened into gold, through which a solitary log came floating black and conspicuous;2 in one place a long, slanting mark lay sparkling upon the water; in another the surface was broken by boiling, tumbling rings, that were as many-tinted as an opal; where the ruddy flush was faintest, was a smooth spot that was covered with graceful circles and radiating lines, ever so delicately traced; the shore on our left was densely wooded, and the somber shadow that fell from this forest was broken in one place by a long, ruffled trail that shone like silver; and high above the forest wall a clean-stemmed dead tree waved a single leafy bough that glowed like a flame in the unobstructed splendor that was flowing from the sun.

不远处红光闪成金黄；孤零零的一根原木在河中漂浮而来，呈一线醒目的黑色；河的一处，一条长长的斜影横落在水面上，闪闪烁烁；另一处，水面被翻滚的水波打碎，仿佛蛋白石放射的斑斓色彩；红彩最淡处是一片平静的水面，覆盖着优雅的环形和放射状的波纹，细腻如绘；河左岸是一片浓密的森林，一条长长的崎岖小径划破树林的一片荫翳，闪闪如银；一株光秃秃的枯树高耸于密林之上，仅剩的一杆青枝随风摇曳，像火焰闪耀在阳光洒下的一览无遗的壮美之中。

还记得自己刚开始船上生涯时所见过的那次辉煌的落日：宽阔的河面一片血红；不远处这红色明亮起来，变成金色，一根显眼的黑色圆森木从中漂过；这边，一根长长的浮标倾斜在水面上，熠熠闪光；那边，翻滚的波浪打破了宁静的水面，像猫眼石般色彩纷呈；微红的水流最缓和处，美丽的涟漪在平稳的水面上层层荡漾开去；左侧的河岸上丛林茂密；一条如银带般闪亮的小径从昏暗的树荫中蜿蜒而出，伸向远处；高高的密林之上有一根无枝无蔓的枯树，仅留有一根带叶的树枝在风中晃动，在太阳一泻千里的光辉里，它宛如燃烧的一团火；还有优美的波纹、水中的倒影、树木葱茏的高地、柔和的远景；放眼望去，由远及近，逐渐裉去的光线随波荡漾，每时每记得都以其新的奇妙着色为这条河添姿增彩。

The split between the two groups can hardly be papered over.
