True, he had called the rent agent 'a bastard of an Orangeman,'but that, according to Gerald's way of looking at it, did not give the man any right to insult him by whistling the opening bars of'The Boyne Water

确实，他曾把那个收租代理人称作"一个奥兰治党的恶棍"，但是，根据杰拉尔德·奥哈拉看待它的方式，这个人没有任何权力用口哨吹出《博伊恩河》的开头章节来侮辱他。

The Battle of the Boyne had been fought more than a hundred years before, but, to the O'Haras and their neighbors, it might have been yesterday when their hopes and their dreams, as well as their lands and wealth, went off in the same cloud of dust that enveloped a frightened and fleeing Stuart prince, leaving William of Orange and his hated troops with their orange cockades to cut down the Irish adherents of the Stuarts.

博因河战役是一百多年以前的事了，但是在奥哈拉家族和他们的邻里看来，就像昨天发生的事，那时他们的希望和梦想，他们的土地和钱财，都在那团卷着一位惊惶逃路的斯图尔特王子的魔雾中消失了，只留下奥兰治王室的威廉和他那带着奥兰治帽徽的军队来屠杀斯图尔特王朝的爱尔兰依附者了。

True, he had called the rent agent "a bastard of an Orangeman," but that, according to Gerald's way of looking at it, did not give the man any right to insult him by whistling the opening bars of "The Boyne Water."

的确，他曾经称呼过地租代理人为"奥兰治派野崽子"不过，按照杰拉尔德对此事的看法，这并不使那个人就有权哼着《博因河之歌》那开头几句来侮辱他。

The river became a road and the road branched out to the whole world.

接着这条河变成了一条路，这条路延伸到世界的各个角落。

Supporters point out that the two dams will flood an area only one-sixth as large as that inundated by the giant Itaipu dam. But because of their modern turbines, and the strength of the Madeira's flow, they will generate electricity equal to 8% of Brazil's current output.

拥趸们指出，与巨大的 Itaipu 水坝相比这两个水坝的泄洪区面积仅为前者的六分之一，但是由于采用了现代化涡轮机，加上马代拉河的汹涌水流，两水坝的发电量将达到巴西目前电力产出的8%。
