梦幻

With an utter depression of soul which I can compare to no earthly sensation more properly than to the afterdream of the reveler upon opium; the bitter lapse into everyday life, the hideous dropping off of the veil.

心情十分沮丧，这种沮丧，无法拿人世间的任何心情来比拟，除非把它比作过足鸦片烟瘾的人从梦幻中回到现实生活里的那种痛苦心情。

I say insufferable; for the feeling was unrelieved by any of that half-pleasurable, because poetic , sentiment with which the mind usually receives even the sternest natural images of the desolate or terrible, I looked upon the scene before me---upon the mere house, and the simple landscape features of the domain, upon the bleak walls, upon the vacant eye-like windows, upon a few randy sedges, and upon a few white trunks of decayed trees---with an utter depression of soul which I can compare to no earthly sensation more properly than to the afterdream of the reveler upon opium; the bitter lapse into everyday life ,the hideous dropping off of the veil.

我说难以忍受，那是因为即使人们看到最最严峻、荒凉或可怕的自然景象时，头脑里通常还有某种由景象的富有诗意所产生的几分快感，但此情此景却丝毫引不起此种感情。我看着眼前的情景――宅第本身，房子周围单调的景象，光秃秃的墙壁，空空的、眼睛窟窿似的窗户，几丛杂乱的菅茅，几株灰白的枯树――心情十分沮丧，同人世间任何心情相比，把它比作过足鸦片烟瘾的人，从梦幻中醒来，回到现实生活里的痛苦心情，最为适当了。

I looked upon the scene before me - upon the mere house, and the simple landscape features of the domain - upon the blank walls - upon the vacant eye-like windows - upon a few rank sedges - and upon a few white trunks of decayed trees - with an utter depression of soul which I can compare to no earthly sensation more properly than to the after-dream of the reveler upon opium - the bitter lapse into everyday life - the hideous dropping off of the veil.

我看着眼前的情景－这所宅第，房子周围单调的景象，光秃秃的墙壁，空洞的、眼睛窟窿似的窗户，几丛杂乱的莎草，几株灰白的枯树－心情无比沮丧，恰仿佛是过足鸦片烟瘾的人，从梦幻中醒来，回到现实生活里的那种痛苦、懊恼的心情，这样的比喻真是再恰当不过了。

I say insufferable; for the feeling was unrelieved by any of that half pleasurable, because poetic,sent iment with which the mind usually receives even the sternest natural images of t he desolate or terrible, I looked upon the scene before me — upon the mere house, and the simple landscape features of the domain, upon the bleak walls, upon t he vacant eye like windows, upon a few randy sedges, and upon a few white trunk s of decayed trees with an utter depression of soul which I can compare to no e arthly sensation more properly than to the afterdream of the reveler upon opium; the bitter lapse into everyday life,the hideous dropping off of the veil.

我说难以忍受，是因为往常即使人们看到荒山野岭或其他令人生畏的自然景象时，也可能产生一些诗意，心中或许有几分快感，但此时此地的情景在我心中却丝毫引不起此种感情。我看着眼前的这番景象——宅第本身、房子周围单调的景象、光秃秃的墙壁、空空的圆窗、几丛杂乱的茅草、几株灰白的枯树——心情十分沮丧，这种沮丧，无法拿人世间的任何心情来比拟，除非把它比作过足鸦片烟瘾的人从梦幻中回到现实生活里的那种痛苦心情。我只觉心中一凉，往下一沉，异常难受。

For in revery you cannot rise above your achievements nor fall lower than your failures.

因为在梦幻中，你不能超升到比你的成就还高，也不至于坠落到比你的失败还低。

All at once he was violently aroused from his revery .

一下子他又突然从梦幻中警觉过来。

It's a dream job for rock-climbing types.

对热爱攀岩的人而言，这是梦幻般的差事。

That would mean the Lakers starting lineup would consist of Gasol, Bynum, Bryant, Odom, and Fisher by early March—an NBA royal flush, indeed.

也就是说三月初湖人的首发名单将是加索尔，拜纳姆，科比，奥多姆，费舍尔——NBA里的梦幻组合。

The monotonous blows of woodcutter's axe or carpenter's mallet, the splashing of oars, the merry voices of the naked little children at play, the plaintive tune of the ryot's song, the more dominant creaking of the turning oil-mill, all these sounds of activity do not seem out of harmony with murmuring leaves and singing birds, and all combine like moving strains of some grand dream-orchestra, rendering a composition of immense though restrained pathos.

伐木工的斧头或木匠的木槌单调的撞击声，船桨击打河水的声响，裸露着身体的小孩玩耍发出的欢笑声，农夫们哼出的忧怨的曲调，转动的压油机吱吱作响的声音盖过了其它的声音，这一切所发出的声音与树叶的低语和百鸟鸣啭好像没有不协调的音律，这一切结合在一起宛若一个盛大的梦幻般的交响乐队奏出的动人的乐曲，透过淡雅的伤感传递出一首异常美妙的乐章。

We have no common name for a mime of Sophron or Xenarchus and a Socratic Conversation; and we should still be without one even if the imitation in the two instances were in trimeters or elegiacs or some other kind of verse--though it is the way with people to tack on 'poet' to the name of a metre, and talk of elegiac-poets and epic-poets, thinking that they call them poets not by reason of the imitative nature of their work, but indiscriminately by reason of the metre they write in.

索夫农 、森那库斯和苏格拉底式的对话采用的模仿没有一个公共的名称；三音步诗、挽歌体或其他类型的诗的模仿也没有——人们把&诗人&这一名词和格律名称结合到一起，称之为挽歌体诗人或者史诗诗人，他们被称为诗人，似乎只是因为遵守格律写作，而非他们作品的模仿本质。

The relationship between communicative competence and grammar teaching should be that of the ends and the means.
