篷车

Here is Danny, who first came here in 1942, lingering a moment in the peekaboo sun; Ivy, who arrived in 1956, standing outside the gas station she runs; Boogie, here since 1959, driving a clattering old van.

前面是丹尼，他1942年一次来到这里，刚刚在忽隐忽现的阳光里溜达了一会儿；艾维，1956年到此，此刻正站在自家的加油站前；布吉，1959年以来一直居住于此，正开着一辆破篷车驶来。

Not far behind the rancher creaked the prairie schooner of the farmers bringing their families, their draft horses, cows, and pigs.

在牧牛人身后不远之外，有许多草原篷车在支支作响，农民把他们的妻儿，还有拉车的马，奶牛和猪群也的带来了。

We sold the house and furniture, lock, stock and barrel, and went to live in a caravan.

我们把房子、家具都卖了，搬到旅行篷车里去

Do you know what a wagon train is?

您知道篷车队伍是什么吗？

My mother's great-grandparents traveled by wagon train in the 1800s from the East coast of the United States to its western frontier, ended up in the unforgiving climate of Oklahoma, a poor pack of cotton farmers.

19世纪初期，我母亲的曾祖父母乘坐马拉篷车从美国东海岸来到西部边疆，最终停留在贫穷的棉农聚居地——气候严苛的俄克拉荷马州。

Berliners will tramp miles to the best stalls in town (the three Zur Bratpfanne vans in the centre, where a wurst and fries will cost just 2.50, are often rated tops) and they have, of course, dedicated a museum to the magnificent snack — it opens this August

柏林人会走上几英里路来到镇上最好的摊位来买（三个中心区的篷车，这里香肠和薯条只须2.50法郎，但却是最好的）。当然德国人也为了这个神奇的小吃建了一所博物馆—今年八月剪彩。这个家伙很懒，什么也没留下。。。。。。

We struck it mighty lucky; there was going to be a circus there that afternoon, and the country people was already beginning to come in, in all kinds of old shackly wagons, and on horses.

那边下午恰好有一场马戏演出，乡下的人已经纷纷坐各式各样的旧篷车或是骑着马开始前来。

If the Trabant was the command economy on wheels, then a dodgy Allegro trailing a rickety caravan on the M5 was the automotive equivalent of the fragile hopes of a better life invested in the Keynesian postwar consensus.

如果特拉贝特中央管制经济的产物，那么追随M5篷车而产生的更为冒险的阿莱格罗则与二战后奉行凯恩斯主义时期追求更好的生活如出一辙，只是追寻的落脚点放在了汽车工业之上。

Not since Americans crossed the continent in covered wagons have they exercised and dieted as vigorously as they are doing today.

自从美国人乘坐篷车横穿大陆以来，他们还没有哪个时期像今天这样起劲地锻炼和节食。

Sometimes, in a summer morning, having taken my accustomed bath, I sat in my sunny doorway from sunrise till noon, rapt in a revery, amidst the pines and hickories and sumachs, in undisturbed solitude and stillness, while the birds sing around or flitted noiseless through the house, until by the sun falling in at my west window, or the noise of some traveller's wagon on the distant highway, I was reminded of the lapse of time.

有时候，在夏日的清晨，照例沐浴之后，我会坐在阳光灿烂的门口，从日出到正午，忘我於沉思之中，在松树、山胡桃和漆树之间，在未经干扰的孤独与寂静之中，那时鸟雀在周围鸣唱，或无声地飞掠屋宇，直到夕阳从我西边的窗子斜照进来，或者远处公路上篷车发出辚辚声音，使我察觉时间的流逝。

As she looked at Warrington's manly face, and dark, melancholy eyes, she had settled in her mind that he must have been the victim of an unhappy attachment.

每逢看到沃林顿那刚毅的脸，那乌黑、忧郁的眼睛，她便会相信，他一定作过不幸的爱情的受害者。

Maybe they'll disappear into a pothole.

也许他们将在壶穴里消失
