上船

To step out of the glitter and bustle of the station----rather weary and jaded with the long journey from Milan----straight on to the landing stage against which the water of the Grand Canal is lapping, to step on board a gondola and to go gliding down the dark, broad, silent highway, with dim-lit, ghostly palaces on either hand; not till memory forsakes you will you forget this experience.

从米兰出发，旅程令人疲惫不堪，终是到达威尼斯。走出灯火通明、熙攘喧嚣的车站，便踏上了栈桥。桥下，只听得大运河水轻轻舐岸。坐上贡多拉（ Gondola，两头尖的平底船，威尼斯一大特色），穿行于宽敞的水道间，夜色迷漫，静谧幽远。两岸宫殿里烛影绰绰，显得幽森诡异。

Then a sudden passion would seize him, and he would stamp upon the deck, crying out that she was a rickety old craft, and that her owners were swindlers to advertise her as the fast-sailing Argus.

接着，他往往突然大发脾气，在甲板上跺着脚，大声嚷嚷，骂这海船是条东倒西歪的老船，骂船主是个骗子，在广告上吹牛，说它是航行迅速的&百眼巨神&。

"I have examined a file of each of the newspapers published in Chelmsford and Colchester," continued Robert, without replying to my lady's last observation, and I find in one of the Colchester papers, dated July the 2nd, 1857, a brief paragraph among numerous miscellaneous scraps of information copied from other newspapers, to the effect that a Mr. George Talboys, an English gentleman, had arrived at Sydney from the gold-fields, carrying with him nuggets and gold-dust to the amount of twenty thousand pounds, and that he had realised his property and sailed for Liverpool in the fast-sailing clipper Arqus.

&我曾查阅了分别在切尔姆斯福特和科尔切斯特出版的报纸的两份合订本，&罗伯特没理睬爵士夫人的最后那句话，迳自继续说下去，我在一八五七年七月二日出版的科尔切斯特报纸上看到：在许多从别的报上抄来的各式各样的短讯之中，有那么短短的一段新闻，大意说：有一位乔治·托尔博伊斯先生，一位英国绅士，从金矿地带到达悉尼，身边带着金块和金砂，价值达两万英镑，他已将金块等兑换成现款，乘坐快速班船'百眼巨神号'前往利物浦。

Out of sheer frustration, and probably out of hunger, he impaled his cake over one of the spokes of the ship\\\\\\\'s wheel, thereby creating a finger hold with which to grip the cake.

由于偏航的事情，他忙于操纵着船只，那样他大概吃不了煎饼了而受饿，他就将他的煎饼穿插在船的操纵轮上，这样就在煎饼上创造了一个手指那样粗的洞，利用这个洞就可以紧握煎饼了。

They disembarked, and strolled across the gay flower-decked lawns in search of Toad, whom they presently happened upon resting in a wicker garden -chair, with a pre-occupied expression of face, and a large map spread out on his knees.

他们离船上岸，穿过各色鲜花装点的草坪，寻找蟾蜍。不多时，他们就遇到了他。蟾蜍坐在一张花园藤椅上，脸上一副全神贯注的神情，盯着膝上的一张大地图。

AD 1897, when the German invaders in the gunboats, supported by iron heel foot piece of muscle, Qingdao, emollient America the land accompanied by humiliation on her, and that timidity of the Qing Dynasty Manchu soldiers and corrupt-down Government by history forever to nail a shame.

公元1897年，当德国侵略者的铁蹄在坚船利炮的支持下踏上青岛这块肌润肤美的土地，屈辱就伴随着她，那胆小怕事的满清军人和腐朽不堪的满清政府就被历史永远的给钉在了耻辱柱上。

And for whom he had provided extraordinarily ; and had therefore sent on board the boat over night, a larger store of provisions than ordinary; and had order'd me to get ready three fuzees with powder and shot, which were on board his ship

为了款待客人，他预备了许多酒菜食品，并在头天晚上就送上了船。他还吩咐我从他大船上取下三支短枪放到舢舨上，把火药和子弹准备好。

It made the boy sad to see the old man come in each day with his skiff empty and he always went down to help him carry either the coiled lines or the gaff and harpoon and the sail that was furled sacks and, furled, it looked like the flag of permanent defeat.

看着老人每天摇着空船回来，孩子心里很难受，总是走下岸帮老人那卷起的渔线，或者鱼勾和鱼叉，还有绕在桅杆上的帆。帆上用面粉袋打了些补丁，收拢后看上去像一面老打败仗的旗子。

Far out in the sea there was an island,on the rocky edge of which lived three sirens,the three sisters of magic song.half human and half bird,the siren sisters sat in a field of flowers,singing in voices that excited the hearts of men.the attractive songs were so sweet that ships were attracted to the island and struck to pieces on the rocks.no sailor nor ship had ever been known to pass the island of the sirens without being attracted to disaster .

遥远的海面上有一岛屿，石崖边居住着唱魔歌的海妖塞壬三姐妹。半人半岛的塞壬姐妹们坐在一片花丛里，唱着盎惑人心的歌，甜美的歌声把过往的船只引向该岛，然后撞上礁石船毁人亡。过往的海员和船只都受到迷惑走向毁灭，无一幸免。

海妖塞壬遥远的海面上有一岛屿，石崖边居住着唱魔歌的海妖塞壬三姐妹。半人半岛的塞壬姐妹们坐在一片花丛里，唱着盎惑人心的歌，甜美的歌声把过往的船只引向该岛，然后撞上礁石船毁人亡。过往的海员和船只都受到迷惑走向毁灭，无一幸免。奥德修斯遵循女神喀耳斯的忠告。为了对付塞壬姐妹，他采取了谨慎的防备措施。

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

这两个团体间的分歧难以掩饰。

This approach not only encourages a greater number of responses, but minimizes the likelihood of stale groupthink.

这种做法不仅鼓励了更多的反应，而且减少跟风的可能性。
