疯子

Even so on the lonely shore the madman with dusty tawny locks still roamed in search of the touchstone.

在那寂寞的海边，那头发垢乱的疯子，也仍旧徘徊着寻找点金石。

A: "No . me crazy when they are to continue to blow my trumpet."

甲："没有。我当他们是疯子，继续吹我的小喇叭。"

A: "no. I was crazy when they continue to blowing my little trumpet."

甲："没有。我当他们是疯子，继续吹我的小喇叭。"

I thought him half a lunatic, half knave, And told him so, but friendship never ends; And what if mind seem changed, And it seem changed with the mind, When thoughts rise up unbid On generous things that he did And I grow half contented to be blind!

我曾认为他是半个疯子，半个痞子，我这样对他说过，但我们的友谊却又能持久；要是心灵看似变了又如何，似乎这友谊确已随心灵而改变，当思绪不由自主地升起想起他做过的那些慷慨事迹我便是瞎了眼也有些情愿！

She recollected---a dark recollection it was---some weeks that she had spent with him in a great town somewhere, when she had had no maid to dress her or take care of her; when she had been shut up, day and night, in a high garret-room, without a carpet, with a bare uncurtained bed, and scarcely any other furniture; when he went out early every morning, and often forgot to return and give her dinner during the day, and at night, when he came back, was like a madman, furious, terrible; or---still more painful---like an idiot, imbecile, senseless.

她回忆到——真是种不愉快的回忆——她曾经和他一起在某个大城市待过好几个礼拜，那时候，她没有女仆照顾她，为她梳妆打扮；那时候，她日日夜夜给关在一个高高的顶楼里，地上没有地毯，只有一张光秃秃的，没有帷子的床，简直没有其他家具；那时候，他霉天一早就出去，白天常常忘记回来给她吃饭，到得晚上，他一回来，就像个疯子，痴痴呆呆，无知无觉。

I always seemed to lose connectivity just when I was about to send a crucial e-mail--it's embarrassing to run down a city street waving your laptop around like a crazy person, but it's amazing how unselfconscious you get when you have to find one lousy bar of wi-fi in the next two minutes or you're going to get fired. A website called ThinkGeek.com sells a T shirt with a battery-powered wi-fi detector that displays the ambient signal strength wherever you happen to be standing.

气人的是，貌似网络总是在我要发一封重要邮件的时候断掉--在马路上跑来跑去，像个疯子一样"挥舞"着你的笔记本到处找信号的行为实在是让人尴尬；然而，在你为了不被炒鱿鱼而必须在两分钟之内找到一个提供Wi-fi的小酒吧的时候，你是会变得不顾一切的（ThinkGeek.com这个网站出售一款带Wi-fi探测器的T恤，电池驱动的探测器能让显示你所处位置上的Wi-fi信号强度。

It's up to you. Crazy person's choice. up to sb.

取决于 crazy：发疯的 choice：选择你自己作主，疯子的选择。

And as Marcel loses his grip on Albertine, so he loses his grip on himself:'It may be because the personalities I perceived in her at that time were so various,' he confesses,'that I later took to turning into a different person, depending on which Albertine was in my mind: I became a jealous man, an indifferent man, a voluptuary, a melancholic, a madman.

如同普鲁斯特把握不了艾伯丁这个人物一样，他也把握不了他自己："可能是由于那时我对那些人物性格的认识是多方面的"，他自己说，"所以后来我会变成另外一个个不同人，这得看我心中想到是哪个艾伯丁：我会变成一个猜疑的人，一个冷漠的人，一个好色之徒，一个忧郁者，一个疯子。"

Hey, wacko, you know what I've been thinking?

嘿，疯子！你知道我想到了什么？

I don't wanna go out with a wacko.

我不想跟一个疯子出去

She gently rebuff ed him, but agreed that they could be friends

她婉言拒绝了，但同意作为朋友相处。

If in the penal farm, you were sure to be criticized.

要是在劳改农场，你等着挨绳子吧！
