阴沉地

But it is intuition which makes me feel the uncanny glassiness of the lake this afternoon, the sulkiness of the mountains, the vividness of near green in thunder-sun, the young man in bright blue trousers lightly tossing the grass form the scythe, the elderly man in a boater stiffly shoving his scythe-strokes, both of them sweating in the silence of the intense light.

但是，是直觉要我感受湖泊在今天下午的神奇般明净，群山的阴沉，有太阳的雷声中呈现出的主动的，近乎于绿色的颜色，那个穿着天蓝色裤子的年轻人用长镰轻松地割着草，还有那个戴着硬边草帽的年长者笨拙地挥动着长镰，在强烈的光线和寂静中，两个人都在流汗。

How they laughed and mused about the pristine world of ice and snow that was of their making. How they boasted of the piercingly cold winds and of the somber, gray stillness that together they had created.

他们那么开怀地大笑着，沉浸在自己制造的这个晶莹的冰雪世界里，又那么得意地自夸着两人一起创造出的一股股刺骨的寒风以及这一片阴沉、灰暗的寂静。

In unison. I had no choice. I stood sullenly at his bed."What do you want?"

我不得不走出来，阴沉地站在他床前，问道：「要什么？

He pointed glumly to his wrists as if he himself were handcuffed and said:" when you are free, I will be free."

他阴沉地指指自己的手腕，仿佛自己也带着手铐，说&当你们自由了的时候，我也就自由了。&

The only photograph released of her after her death showed a not-unpretty face, crop-haired and heavily lipsticked, about to scowl.

她死后传出来的那张惟一的单身照是这样的：一张容貌并非不姣好的脸，短发，搽着厚厚的口红，脸色阴沉地像是要动了肝火。

2"Then I'll gatecrash the examination," he said, dead serious.

&那我就去闯考场，&他阴沉地说。

In one corner was a stagnant pool of water, surrounding an island of muck; there were several half-drowned fowls crowded together under a cart, among which was a miserable, crest-fallen cock, drenched out of ail life and spirit; his drooping tail matted, as it were, into a single feather, along which the water trickled from his hack; near the cart was a half- dozing cow, chewing her cud, and standing patiently to be rained on, with wreaths of vapour(5) rising from her reeking hide; a wall-eyed(6) horse, tired of the loneliness of the stable, was poking his spectral head out of a window, with the rain dripping on it from the eaves; an unhappy cur, chained to a dog-house hard by, uttered something every now and then between a bark and a yelp; a drab of a kitchen wench(7) tramped backwards and forwards through the yard in pat- tens, looking as sulky as the weather itself; everything, iq short, was comfortless and forlorn, excepting a crew of hardened ducks, assembled like boon companions round a puddle and making a riotous noise over their liquor.

在院子的一角，一潭污水围着孤岛似的粪堆，几只几平被雨水淋透的鸡簇拥在一辆马车底下，其中一只可怜的公鸡，倒垂着鸡冠，被淋得没精打彩，毫无生气，它那耷拉着的尾巴粘结在一起，仿佛只成了一根羽毛，雨水顺着它从背脊往下直淌，高马车不远处。有一头睡跟惺忪的奶牛，嘴里嚼着反刍的食物，默默地站在那里，任凭雨水打在身上，湿淋琳的背上日出缭绕的水气；一匹眼珠小而眼白特大的马厌倦了马厩里的寂寞，把它那幽灵似的脑袋从窗口探了出来，屋檐上的雨水漓沥滴沥地落在它头上；一只不幸的杂种狗被链条拴在近旁的狗窝里，时时发出似吠似嗥的声音；一个邋遢厨娘拖着木屐，迈着沉重的步子在院子里进进出出，她那郁郁不乐的神色，就象阴沉的天气一样；总之，除了一群饱经风雨的鸭子，象饮酒作乐的朋友那样聚集在污水潭的四周呷呷嬉水而外，这儿的一切都令人感到凄凉的沮丧。

在院子的一角，一潭污水围着孤岛似的粪堆；几只几乎被雨水淋透的鸡簇拥在一辆马车底下，其中一只可怜的公鸡，倒垂着鸡冠，被淋得没精打彩，毫无生气；它那聋拉着的尾巴粘结在一起，仿佛只成了一根羽毛，雨水顺着它从背脊往下直淌；离马车不远处，有一头睡眼惺松的奶牛，嘴里喂着反刍的食物，默默地站在那里，任凭雨水打在身上，湿淋淋的背上冒出缭绕的水气；一匹眼珠小而眼白特大的马厌倦了马厩里的寂寞，把它那幽灵似的脑袋从窗口探了出来，屋檐上的雨水滴沥滴沥地落在它头上；一只不幸的杂种狗被链条拴在近旁的狗窝里，时时发出似吠似嗥的声音；一个邋遢厨娘拖着木屐，迈着沉重的步于在院子里进进出出，她那郁郁不乐的神色，就像阴沉的天气一样；总之，除了一群饱经风雨的鸭子，像饮酒作乐的朋友那样聚集在污水潭的四周戏水而外，这儿的一切都令人感到凄凉和沮丧。
