牧羊的

The shadows and the generations, the shrill doctors and the plangent wars, go by into ultimate silence and emptiness; but underneath all this, a man may see, out of the Belvedere windows, much green and peaceful landscape; many fire-lit parlors; good people laughing, drinking , and making love as they did before the Flood or the Errant Revolution; and the old shepherd telling his tale under the hawthorn.

那些阴暗的幽灵，已逝的世代，尖声叫喊的博士，轰轰烈烈的战争，都匆匆过去，永远消失。然而，我们从望楼的窗口中，透过这一切还看到了一片青葱的和平景象，看到灯火辉煌的客厅；看到象在洪水到来之前或是法国革命前夕那样善良的人们在欢笑、在饮酒、在求爱；也看到了牧羊老人在山楂树下讲述着他自己的故事。

THE glamorised world portrayed on the nightly telenovelas on Brazilian television is, superficially at least, about as representative of the country as a whole as Marie Antoinette and her shepherdesses were of 1780s' France.

这句话的意思是肥皂剧里所展现的歌舞升平的世界与巴西的现实差距甚远，毫无代表性，就像玛莉安托瓦内特奢侈的生活方式不能代表当时法国乡村的牧羊女的处境一样。

巴西晚间电视连续剧里所展现的歌舞升平的世界与巴西的现实差距甚远，毫无代表性，就像十八世纪八十年代法国的绝代艳后玛利·安唐妮[1]和她的牧羊女们不能代表当时的法国一样。

All at once, a gust of wind, more merry than the rest, and probably charged with performing the affairs of Springtime, swept down from the nursery, flung itself on the alley, enveloped the young girl in a delicious shiver, worthy of Virgil/'s nymphs, and the fawns of Theocritus, and lifted her dress, the robe more sacred than that of Isis, almost to the height of her garter.

忽然来了一阵风，吹得特别轻狂，也许负有什么春神的使命，从苗圃飞来，落在小路上，裹住了那姑娘，惹起她一身寒噤，使人忆及维吉尔的林泉女仙和泰奥克利特①的牧羊女那妩媚的姿态，这风竟把她的裙袍，比伊希斯②的神衣更为神圣的裙袍掀起来，几乎到了吊袜带的高度。

But we don't care about Battlegrounds.

但我们并不在乎沙场中的显露。

Ah! don't mention it, the butcher's shop is a horror.

啊！不用提了。提到肉，真是糟透了。
