乐事

The Alpena Echo, a small newspaper in Michigan, cut off its telegraph service because it could not tell why the telegraph company caused it to be sent a full account of a flood in Shanghai, a massacre in Calcutta, a sailor fight in Bombay, hard frosts in Siberia, a missionary banquet in Madagascar, the price of kangaroo leather from Borneo, and a lot of nice cheerful news from the Archipelagoes—and not a single line about the Muskegon fire.

密歇根州的一份小报《阿尔皮纳回声》停止了电报服务，因为它搞不懂电报公司为何要传送大量下列报道，如上海洪水，加尔各答大屠杀，孟买水手争斗，西伯利亚严霜，马达加斯加的传教士盛宴，婆罗洲袋鼠皮价格，及爱琴海的众多趣闻乐事——却不简单的一行关于马斯基根州大火。

Children love sweet things to eat, and when mom or dad bakes some fresh cookies, it's a real treat.

小孩子们喜欢吃甜食。当妈妈和爸爸烘烤一些新鲜的饼干时，这真是一件乐事。

Classical scholars, though, feel no such reverence. They have called her "an illiterate with a higher degree who takes pleasure in castrating traditional Chinese culture"; one turned up at a book-signing wearing a T-shirt that read:"Confucius is deeply worried".

不过，研究古典文化的学者可没这么大的敬意，他们说她是&以阉割中国传统文化为乐事的高学历文盲&；有人穿了件T恤出现在她的签名售书现场，上面写着：&孔子很着急&。

To have continually at one's side a woman, a daughter, a sister, a charming being, who is there because you need her and because she cannot do without you; to know that we are indispensable to a person who is necessary to us; to be able to incessantly measure one's affection by the amount of her presence which she bestows on us, and to say to ourselves,"Since she consecrates the whole of her time to me, it is because I possess the whole of her heart"; to behold her thought in lieu of her face; to be able to verify the fidelity of one being amid the eclipse of the world; to regard the rustle of a gown as the sound of wings; to hear her come and go, retire, speak, return, sing, and to think that one is the centre of these steps, of this speech; to manifest at each instant one's personal attraction; to feel one's self all the more powerful because of one's infirmity; to become in one's obscurity, and through one's obscurity, the star around which this angel gravitates,--few felicities equal this.

在你的身旁，经常有个和你相依为命的妇人、姑娘、姊妹、可爱的人儿，知道自己对她是决不可少的，而她对自己也是非有不可的，能经常在她和你相处时间的长短上去推测她的感情，并且能向自己说：&她既然把她的全部时间用在我身上，就足以说明我占有了她整个的心&；不能看见她的面目，但能了解她的思想；在与世隔绝的生活中，体会到一个人儿的忠实；感到衣裙的摇曳，如同小鸟振翅的声音；听她来往、进出、说话、歌唱，并且想到自己是这种足音、这些话、这支歌的中心；不时表示自己的愉快，觉得自己越残缺，便越强大；在那种黑暗中，并正因为那种黑暗，自己成了这安琪儿归宿的星球；人生的乐事很少能与此相比。

A writer goes about his task today with the extra satisfaction which comes from knowing that he will be the first to have his head lopped off－ even before the political dandies.

对我来说，这更是一大乐事，因为倘若尘世的命运拒绝给予我自由，我就等於一具僵尸，与其带著脑袋还不如没有脑袋进入法西斯主义。

He had had ecstasies innumerable that other children can never know; but he was looking through the window at the one joy from which he must be for ever barred.

他有许许多多其他孩子永远都无法经历的乐事，但是，这种快乐，他透过窗户看到的快乐，却是他自己永远得不到的。

It cracks my mind she might still love me, in spite of everything. After all, it's no funning hurting someone who means nothing to you.

我突然意识到，她可能还爱着我，不管怎么说，伤害一个好不相干的人，也不是什么乐事。

Neither the killing of Mr Zarqawi nor any breakthrough on the political front will stop the insurgency and the fratricidal murders in their tracks.
