每天分享一篇中英雙語(yǔ)閱讀，對(duì)英語(yǔ)口語(yǔ)的練習(xí)很有幫助，也是積累英語(yǔ)考試中寫(xiě)作，翻譯素材的好資料，加油吧!
Charlotte and Wilbur were alone. Wilbur lay resting after the excitement and strain of the ceremony. His medal still hung from his neck; by looking out of the corner of his eye he could see it.
夏洛和威爾伯單獨(dú)待著。經(jīng)過(guò)頒獎(jiǎng)典禮上一番興奮和緊張后，威爾伯躺下來(lái)休息。他的獎(jiǎng)?wù)氯匀粧煸诓弊由希ㄟ^(guò)眼角的余光就能看到它。
"Charlotte," said Wilbur after a while, "why are you so quiet?"
“夏洛，”過(guò)了一會(huì)兒威爾伯說(shuō)，“你為什么這么安靜?”
"I like to sit still," she said."I’ve always been rather quiet."
“我喜歡靜靜地坐著，”她說(shuō)。“我一直都十分安靜?”
"Yes, but you seem specially so today. Do you feel all right?"
“是的，但今天你似乎出奇地安靜。你感覺(jué)還好嗎?”
"A little tired, perhaps. But I feel peaceful. Your success in the ring this morning was to a small degree, my success.Your future is assured. You will live, secure and safe, Wilbur. Nothing can harm you now. These autumn days will shorten and grow cold. The leaves will shake loose from the trees and fall. Christmas will come, then the snows of winter. You will live to enjoy the beauty of the frozen world, for you mean a great deal to Zuckerman and he will not harm you, ever. Winter will pass, the days will lengthen, the ice will melt in the pasture pond. The song sparrow will return and sing, the frogs will awake, the warm wind will blow again. All these sights and sounds and smells will be yours to enjoy, Wilbur--this lovely world, these precious days...”
也許有點(diǎn)兒累吧。但我覺(jué)得很平靜。今天早上你在圍欄里的成功，在小小的程度上也是我的成功。你的未來(lái)有保證了。你將生活得十分安全，威爾伯。現(xiàn)在沒(méi)有什么能傷害你。秋天的白晝會(huì)縮短，天氣會(huì)變冷。葉子將從樹(shù)上松動(dòng)落下。圣誕節(jié)即將來(lái)臨，之后是冬天的飄雪。你將活著享受冰天雪地的美景，因?yàn)閷?duì)于朱克曼先生來(lái)說(shuō)，你意義重大，他不會(huì)傷害你的，永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)。冬天會(huì)過(guò)去，白晝會(huì)延長(zhǎng)，牧場(chǎng)池塘上的冰將融化。籬雀將飛回來(lái)歌唱，青蛙要蘇醒，溫暖的風(fēng)會(huì)再次吹起。所有這些景象、聲音和香氣都將供你享受，威爾伯—這個(gè)美好的世界，這些珍貴的日子……”
Charlotte stopped. A moment later a tear came to Wilbur’s eye. "Oh, Charlotte," he said. "To think that when I first met you I thought you were cruel and bloodthirsty!"
夏洛停了下來(lái)。不一會(huì)兒，眼淚涌入了威爾伯的眼眶。“哦，夏洛，”他說(shuō)，“想當(dāng)初第一次見(jiàn)到你，我還以為你很殘忍，嗜血成性呢!”
When he recovered from his emotion, he spoke again.
等他從情緒中恢復(fù)過(guò)來(lái)，他又說(shuō)話了。
