乡间

I drove to Alton in Hampshire to see Field Marshal Lord Montgomery at Isington Mill,his little country home.

我驱车前往汉普郡的奥尔顿，去陆军元帅蒙哥马利勋爵在艾辛顿米尔的乡间小宅探望他。

This is about one hour of firefly activity near my home in rural Ontario.

这是在安大略乡间，我家附近的萤火虫一个小时中活动的情形。

As I sit at my window this summer afternoon, hawks are circling about my clearing; the tantivy of wild pigeons, flying by two and threes athwart my view, or perching restless on the white pine boughs behind my house, gives a voice to the air; a fish hawk dimples the glassy surface of the pond and brings up a fish; a mink steals out of the marsh before my door and seizes a frog by the shore; the sedge is bending under the weight of the reed-birds flitting hither and thither; and for the last half-hour I have heard the rattle of railroad cars, now dying away and then reviving like the beat of a partridge, conveying travellers from Boston to the country.

在这一个夏天的下午，当我坐在窗口，鹰在我的林中空地盘旋，野鸽子在疾飞，三三两两地飞入我的眼帘，或者不安地栖息在我屋后的白皮松枝头，向着天空发出一个呼声；一只鱼鹰在水面上啄出一个酒涡，便叼走了一尾鱼；一只水貂偷偷地爬出了我门前的沼泽，在岸边捉到了一只青蛙；芦苇鸟在这里那里掠过，隰地莎草在它们的重压下弯倒；一连半小时，我听到铁路车辆的轧轧之声，一忽儿轻下去了，一忽儿又响起来了，像鹧鸪在扑翅膀，把旅客从波士顿装运到这乡间来。

They all like steetcars running contentedly on their rails,and they dispise the sprightly flivver that dashes in and out of the traffic and speeds so jauntily across the open contry.

他们就象街上的有轨电车，精准地在固定的轨道运行，而对那些不时出没于车水马龙和欢快的奔驰在乡间的廉价小汽车不屑一顾。

Walk on the footpath in the country.

走在乡间的小路上。

Do you still remember that footpath along which we went shoulder to shoulder many times?

你是否还记得，那条乡间小路上，我们曾手牵手，走过无数个日日夜夜？

However, the best places to see Formosan animals are in the mountains and countryside.

然而观赏宝岛动物的最佳地点还是在山中及乡间。

I considered it a narrative of facts, and discovered in it a vein of interest deeper than what I found in fairy tales: for as to the elves, having sought them in vain among foxglove leaves and bells, under mushrooms and beneath the ground-ivy mantling old wall-nooks, I had at length made up my mind to the sad truth, that they were all gone out of England to some savage country where

至于那些小精灵们，我在毛地黄叶子与花冠之间，在蘑菇底下和爬满老墙角落的长春藤下遍寻无着之后，终于承认这悲哀的事实：他们都己逃离英国到某个原始的乡间去了，那儿树林更荒凉茂密，人口更为稀少。而我虔信，小人国和大人国都是地球表面实实在在的一部份。

Sin' auld lang syne.For auld, etc.We twa hae paidl'd in the burn,Frae morning sun till dine;But seas between us braid hae roar'd.Sin' auld lang syne.For auld, etc.And there's a hand, my trusty fiere!And gie's a hand o' thine!And we'll tak' a right gud-wellie waught,For auld lang syne.For auld, etc.

他的才情多面向，他不仅写情诗、叙事诗、风景诗……也像德国的格林兄弟一样，深入民间，采集古老而又新鲜的乡野故事，经久耐唱的乡间民谣，改写成诗歌。

A homemade helium balloon that broke free of its moorings in the United States, reportedly with a 6-year-old boy inside, has landed in a field after a flight across the Colorado countryside.

一自制的氦气球在美国挣脱了下锚处，据报有一位六岁的小孩在其上，该气球在非越科罗拉多州乡间后已降落。

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。
