棚屋

Scarlett, whose room lay across the hall from her mother's, knew from babyhood the soft sound of scurrying bare black feet on the hardwood floor in the hours of dawn, the urgent tappings on her mother's door, and the muffled, frightened negro voices that whispered of sickness and birth and death in the long row of whitewashed cabins in the quarters.

郝思嘉的房间在她母亲房间的对面，中间隔着个穿堂。她从小就熟悉了：在天亮前什么时候一个光着脚的黑人急促脚步在硬木地板上轻轻走过，接着是母亲房门上匆忙的叩击声，然后是黑人那低沉而带惊慌的耳语，报告本地区那长排白棚屋里有人生病了，死了，或者养了孩子。

Close to the back step of one cabin, she found a short row of radishes and hunger assaulted her suddenly.

From the time the palm and reed huts of the Chimilas began to be replaced by the wooden houses of the United Fruit Company, with their sloping tin roofs, burlap windows and outhouses adorned with vines of dusty flowers, we resembled nothing so much as the raw towns in western movies.

自打联合水果公司的木头房子开始取代Chimila人用棕榈树和芦苇杆搭起来的小棚屋，我们这里简直就成了西部电影里未开化小城的翻版：这些木房子屋顶倾斜，是铁皮做的，窗口遮着粗麻布，挨着主屋的小屋子墙上爬着藤蔓，开着落满灰尘的花朵。

Jakarta was still a sleepy backwater in those days, with few buildings over four or five stories high, cycle rickshaws outnumbering cars, the city center and wealthier sections of town—with their colonial elegance and lush, well-tended lawns—quickly giving way to clots of small villages with unpaved roads and open sewers, dusty markets, and shanties of mud and brick and plywood and corrugated iron that tumbled down gentle banks to murky rivers where families bathed and washed laundry like pilgrims in the Ganges.

雅加达在那时仍是穷乡僻壤，很少有楼层高过四五层，三轮黄包车比汽车多得多，城市中心和市镇中比较富有的地区——带有殖民时代建筑的高雅和豪华，得到精心照料的草坪——极快地被密集的小村落占据了，包括，没有铺石砖的路径，未封闭的下水道，多尘的市场，泥浆、砖、夹板和瓦垅钢皮建成的棚屋，坐落于不太陡峭的堤岸上，建筑下是混浊的河水，人民在河里洗浴、洗衣服，就像印度人在恒河的生活一样。

FROM shanty houses to parliament, Sri Lankans are transfixed by one topic: India's impact on the government's war with the rebel Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam.
