暗淡的

The strange silence, broken only by the measured dip of the oar and the soft plashing of the water against your cleaving prow, and the occasional hoarse cries of the gondoliers as you pass another of these black, funeral barges; the few and feeble lamps, giving you momentary glimpses of balconies and finely carven arches; the sudden intensification of the silence and the darkness as you abruptly leave the Grand Canal and slip along one of the narrower waterways, always with tall houses on both sides of you, and above you a clear sky of stars, stars reflected tremblingly on the black waters----thousands of tourists must have tried to describe all this, but the magic and the mystery and the beauty of it defy human speech.

此情此景，若非失忆，你怎能忘记。四周静得出奇，只听见船桨嘎吱嘎吱的轻吟，溅起的水花在船头轻唱；不时有黑色船只经过，又闻船夫沙哑的寒暄声。岸上的路灯依稀可见，寥寥无几，却也能让你匆匆瞥见建筑的阳台，和那精雕细刻的拱门。小船从大运河突然飘向窄水道，夜色更深，周围更静。左右高楼时现，仰望夜空，繁星点点，清晰可见，倒映在暗淡水面的星星，随波起舞。不知多少文人墨客皆欲描绘此景，但却苦于辞藻有限，世俗的语言无法将它的迷幻之美一一描绘。

The two lamps on the chimney piece, which had shades of rose-colored lace, cast a feeble light over them while on scattered pieces of furniture there burned but three other lamps, so that the great drawing room remained in soft shadow.

In a red parka before a receding iceberg in Greenland; among dark-suited world leaders, one of them yet distinctive in her signature trouser-suit; sombre in black alongside Mr Obama at the Buchenwald memorial site.

在格陵兰岛一块消退的冰山前身着一件红色皮质大衣；在穿着深色西装的世界领导人中，其中的一位却身着其标志性套装，突显与众不同；在布痕瓦尔德集中营纪念地，奥巴马身旁的她的衣着是暗淡黑色的。

I bathed myself in the intense yellow under the intense blue sky; how it dimmed the oak trees and copses and all the rest of the English landscape!

我沐浴在蓝天下那一片热烈的黄的色彩下，它是那么的热烈，让橡树、灌木林乃至英格兰的其他一切都变的暗淡无光。

He sat down by the broad hearth upon which the red embers were fading, and wondered at the change in that old house which, until the day of his friend's disappearance, had been so pleasant a home for all who sheltered beneath its hospitable roof.

All the lineaments which providence traces on the surface of a nation have their parallels, sombre but distinct, in their depths, and all convulsions of the depths produce ebullitions on the surface.

For anyone who wants to understand the total failure of the human spirit which war represents – and the utter disgust which must follow the "arbitrament"of war (a Chamberlain word this – see his 3 September 1939, declaration of war)– must read the extract from Jean Giono's Le Grand Troupeau, which accompanies Louis Dauphin's bleak, rainswept painting,"Supply Route at Peronne".

The shuttle enabled its astronauts to see, every 90 minutes, how the sun ignited a giant rainbow over the morning Earth. It allowed them to observe the still, fixed colours of the stars; to watch from the outside as lightning forked through a weather front; to measure the spiders' webs of cities against the immense blue of ocean and the matt black of far space.
