英語(yǔ)美文：愛(ài)要怎么說(shuō)出口

　　以下是小編整理的情感類英語(yǔ)美文欣賞：愛(ài)要怎么說(shuō)出口， 希望對(duì)你有所感觸。

　　If only we’d never gone there, thought Alan. Theywere scrambling up the mountainside in the lateafternoon heat. Alice was so tanned that she lookedas if she had lived on the Mediterranean for months,while he, being fair, had turned a blotchy, peeling.

　　阿蘭心里想道：要是我們從未到過(guò)那個(gè)地方該多好啊。在下午后半晌的炎熱中，他們向山坡上爬去。愛(ài)麗絲被曬得黑黝黝的，看上去就像在地中海上住過(guò)幾個(gè)月似的;而阿蘭原本細(xì)皮嫩肉，這時(shí)身上已經(jīng)變得紅一塊白一塊，脫了一層皮。

　　He looked up at the mountainside, the path twistingupwards towards the cairn cross, the white heat bleaching the rock. Why on earth couldn’t theytalk about it? Why couldn’t he even accuse her?

　　他抬頭向山坡望去，只見(jiàn)小路盤旋而上通向那個(gè)圓錐形十字石碑，熾熱的陽(yáng)光將巖石曬得發(fā)白。他們究竟為什么不能談那件事?他為什么連責(zé)罵她都不能呢?

　　He had thought it was going to be all right. But it was as if the heat had drained their love.

　　他原以為一切都會(huì)好的，但好像酷熱已經(jīng)將他們的愛(ài)抽干。

　　At home they had been so blissfully happy that he now realized it couldn’t have lasted. Shecomes to his school from the Midlands because her family had split up. An only child, living withher father, trying to look after him, lonely, depressed, anxious, she had come to Alan to behealed. At least, that’s what he liked to think. Had he healed her? No. Tom had, even thoughAlan loved her with all the passion. Now his hatred for both of them was as strong as his love.

　　在家時(shí)，他們?cè)嵌嗝葱腋！，F(xiàn)在他意識(shí)到那不會(huì)再繼續(xù)下去了。由于家庭破裂，她從內(nèi)陸來(lái)到他的學(xué)校。作為獨(dú)生女，她和她的父親住在一起，盡力去照顧他。她孤獨(dú)無(wú)依、無(wú)精打采、愁眉苦臉，經(jīng)常到阿蘭那里去排除憂傷。至少他喜歡這樣認(rèn)為。他為她解憂了嗎?沒(méi)有。是湯姆，即使阿蘭曾付出所有的激情愛(ài)著她。如今他對(duì)他們倆的愛(ài)就像他的恨一樣強(qiáng)烈。 “Come on!”Alice had turned back to him, waving impatiently.

　　“跟上!”愛(ài)麗絲轉(zhuǎn)身向他喊，不耐煩地?fù)]著手。

　　“Coming,”Alan looked at his watch. Five, The crickets would start singing soon. He walked on,the sweat pouring into his eyes. Knowing she had opened the bottle of mineral water. Wouldshe let him catch up with her? An even greater misery seized him. It reminded him of the nighthe made himself drunk on the rough local wine his parents bought in the village. His heart hadached then, too, and his sense of loss had increased as he relived each minute of a day whenTom and Alice had seemed to draw closer and closer together.

　　“來(lái)了。”阿蘭看了看手表。已經(jīng)5點(diǎn)了。蛐蛐兒馬上就要開始鳴唱了。他繼續(xù)向上走，汗水源源不斷地流到了眼里。他知道她已經(jīng)打開那瓶礦泉水。她會(huì)讓他跟上她嗎?一種更大的痛苦折磨著他。這使他想起那天晚上他用父母親從村里買的粗制的當(dāng)?shù)鼐茖⒆约汗嘧淼那榫?，那時(shí)他的心也在發(fā)痛。每當(dāng)他想起愛(ài)麗絲和湯姆越來(lái)越親近的時(shí)候，他的失落感就會(huì)與日俱增。

　　He walked faster. Here, a few miles away on the bare mountainside, there was arid space, andthe olive groves, clustered in the stone-cluttered valleys below.

　　他走得越來(lái)越快。他為山頂上那些中世紀(jì)的城堡而歡呼雀躍。放眼望去，離那座山幾里遠(yuǎn)的地方有一塊空地，在山谷的亂石叢中生長(zhǎng)著一小片橄欖林。 “Come on!”

　　“跟上!”

　　“Coming.”

　　“來(lái)了。”

　　Alan strode doggedly on, looking down at his red, peeling legs, thinking of Tom’s strong,straight, brown ones.

　　阿蘭仍頑強(qiáng)地大步前行，他低頭看了一眼自己被曬紅的、脫了皮的兩腿，想起了湯姆強(qiáng)健挺拔的棕色的雙腿。

　　Suddenly he had turned the corner by the stone shelter. He could see her waiting for him. IfTom were here, they would be together, mocking him, looking at each other, leaving him alone.As he strode self-consciously on Alan focused his mind on her.

　　突然，他拐到石頭后面一塊隱蔽的地方。他看到她正在等他。如果湯姆也在這里的話，他們一定會(huì)站在一起嘲笑他，相互凝望著，把他丟在一邊。當(dāng)他拘謹(jǐn)?shù)叵蚯白叩臅r(shí)候，他將注意力都集中在她的身上。

　　“Where’re we going to camp?”She was sitting on an outcrop, her slim body supple and salt-caked. Her legs were swinging and he longed to run his hands over them. Instead he imaginedTom doing that and hot, angry tears filled his eyes.

　　“我們到哪里去宿營(yíng)?”她坐在一塊突出的巖石上。她的苗條的身材豐滿，咸咸的。她的腿在那里晃來(lái)晃去。他真想將自己的手在那上面滑動(dòng)。而他卻想象著湯姆那樣做的情景。頓時(shí)，憤怒的淚水充滿了他的眼睛。

　　“Santa Caterina.”

　　“圣卡塔林納。”

　　“What’s that?”

　　“那是什么?”

　　“It’s a deserted monastery, down in the valley. Amongst the fir trees. Over there—look, youcan see it.”

　　“是一座破廟，在山谷下面，杉樹叢中。在那里——看，你可以看到的。”

　　“Oh yes.”She turned her head. When he did look he was shocked to see how beautiful she was,like a goddess.

　　“噢，是的。”她轉(zhuǎn)過(guò)頭。當(dāng)他真正拿眼去看她的時(shí)候，她看上去是那樣美，像一尊女神。

　　“Won’t that be spooky?”she asked in the slightly broken voice that he had always found sosexy.

　　“那不可怕吧?”她用略微沙啞的聲音說(shuō)。他發(fā)現(xiàn)她的嗓音竟是那樣性感。

　　God, how he loved her. Why couldn’t he just take her in his arms now? That could solveeverything. But there seemed to be an impenetrable barrier around her—as if she was sealedaway by Tom.

　　上帝啊，他是多么愛(ài)她，現(xiàn)在他為什么不可以把她攬?jiān)趹牙锬?這樣，一切問(wèn)題都會(huì)迎刃而解的。但是，好像她周圍有一種難以逾越的障礙——就像被湯姆密封了起來(lái)。

　　“The valley’s dangerous,”said Alan, hoping to frighten her, to provoke reaction.“If the cloudscome down there’s no way out. Sometimes for days.”

　　“這個(gè)山谷很危險(xiǎn)，”阿蘭說(shuō)，希望嚇住她，引起她一種反應(yīng)。“如果烏云壓下來(lái)就會(huì)無(wú)路可走了。有時(shí)會(huì)持續(xù)好幾天。”

　　“Is there anywhere else to camp,”asked Alice.

　　“還有其它地方可以宿營(yíng)嗎?”愛(ài)麗絲問(wèn)道。

　　“Not really.”Alan was certain she’d rather be with Tom. Yesterday he had seen them sitting ona wall together outside the villa. Their ankles had been entwined. He had wanted to grab Tom’slegs and pull him off. He would hurt his brother—and Alice would be sorry . It would be herfault.

　　“說(shuō)不準(zhǔn)，”阿蘭敢肯定她一定會(huì)寧愿和湯姆在一起。昨天他曾見(jiàn)他們一起坐在別墅外的一堵墻上，他們的腳踝曾纏繞在一起，他曾想拽著湯姆的腿把他拉下來(lái)。他會(huì)傷害自己的弟弟。愛(ài)麗斯會(huì)感到內(nèi)疚。那是她的過(guò)錯(cuò)。

　　“Let’s go,”said Alan quickly.

　　“我們走吧，”阿蘭飛快地說(shuō)。

　　“How far is it?”she asked.“I’m whacked.”

　　“還有多遠(yuǎn)?”她問(wèn)，“我一點(diǎn)勁兒也沒(méi)有了。”

　　“Half an hour.”

　　“半小時(shí)。”

　　“Can we eat them?”Her voice was a little plaintive.Alan noticed with satisfaction that she wasbecoming dependent on him again. But he knewthat once they were off the mountain she would bewith Tom. For a crazy moment he imagined Alice withhimself living in the mountain valley together. Always.Trapped perhaps by some magical force thatwouldn’t let them leave.

　　“我們能吃點(diǎn)東西嗎?”她的聲音有點(diǎn)兒傷感。阿蘭心滿意足，注意到她正在再次依靠他。但他知道一旦他們離開這座大山，她就會(huì)和湯姆泡在一起。一時(shí)間，他竟荒.唐地想象著愛(ài)麗絲和自己一起居住在這個(gè)山谷，直到永遠(yuǎn)?；蛟S是被某種魔力困在這里，不讓他們離開。

　　The monastery was square-roofed, austere，with barrack windows. There were fish tanks atthe back and a terrace on which the monks would have walked.

　　那座廟是方頂、木窗，十分簡(jiǎn)樸。廟后面有一些魚缸，還有一個(gè)平臺(tái)，和尚可以在上面隨意走動(dòng)。

　　Their feet on the stones made the only sound. Santa Caterina was utterly still. A swift rosesoundlessly over the slate roof and the heat shimmered on the roughcast walls. They lay down,their rucksack still on their backs, passing the water bottle, almost dozing.

　　四周只有他們踏在石頭上所發(fā)出的聲響，圣卡塔林納萬(wàn)籟俱寂。一朵怒放的玫瑰在石板屋頂無(wú)聲無(wú)息，亮光在粗糙的墻壁上閃爍。他們躺下來(lái)，遞過(guò)水瓶，旅行包仍背在背后。他們幾乎昏昏欲睡。

　　Suddenly she sat up and looked him with surprising tenderness. Alan’s black mood easedslightly.

　　突然，她坐起來(lái)，用令人吃驚的溫柔目光凝視著他。阿蘭的難受情緒稍微得到了緩解。

　　Have they all gone then?”asked Alice.

　　“他們都已經(jīng)走了嗎?”愛(ài)麗絲問(wèn)道。

　　“Yes. I don’t know when. A long time ago.”

　　“是的。我不知道是什么時(shí)候走的。好長(zhǎng)時(shí)間了吧。”

　　She was lying back, her eyes closed. He could talk to her now. They could both talk the problemand solve it. They would reach each other. But he couldn’t make the move.

　　她仰面躺著，雙目緊閉。他現(xiàn)在可以和她談了。他們倆談?wù)勀莻€(gè)問(wèn)題，然后就迎刃而解了。他們彼此都能探到對(duì)方，但他不能動(dòng)。

　　“It would be terrible if it is pulled down,”Alice said idly, her eyes still closed.

　　“如果廟被推倒，那將是多么可怕，”愛(ài)麗絲懶懶地說(shuō)，眼睛仍然閉著。

　　“It won’t be.”

　　“不會(huì)的。”

　　“How do you know that?”

　　“你怎么知道?”

　　“They patch it up from time to time.”

　　“他們總是不斷地修繕?biāo)?rdquo;

　　“Why don’t they live here?”

　　“他們?yōu)槭裁床蛔≡谶@里呢?”

　　“Don’t know. Maybe it’s too remote.”

　　“不知道，或許這里太偏遠(yuǎn)了吧。”

　　The desire to punish her had gone. But he daren’t touch her. He daren’t break theenchantment.

　　漸漸地，想懲罰她的欲望消失了，但他不敢觸摸她，不敢輕易打破這令人著迷的時(shí)刻。

　　“The heat in the day. The cool evenings. It would be good to live like that.”

　　“白天熱，夜里涼。住在這種地方會(huì)很不錯(cuò)的。”

　　“Live here?”

　　“住在這里?”

　　“Could we ever get permission?”

　　“我們會(huì)被允許嗎?”

　　“I don’t know.”

　　“我不知道。”

　　“Just to see what it was like. I mean—”She half sat up.“Can we get inside?”She ran a fingergently down his peeling cheek.

　　“先看看這里怎么樣，我是說(shuō)——” 她半坐了起來(lái)。“我們能進(jìn)去嗎?”她將一根手指輕輕地放在他脫皮的臉頰上。

　　Alan was taken aback but then he became aware that the crickets had started. How long hadthey been singing? He wondered.“Let go and see.”

　　他吃了一驚，隨后意識(shí)到蛐蛐兒的鳴叫聲已經(jīng)響起。他不知道它們已經(jīng)鳴唱了多長(zhǎng)時(shí)間。“讓我們?nèi)タ纯窗伞?rdquo;

　　They tramped round but as Alan already knew, there was no way in. In the end they came backand he lit a fire at the side of a small stone building. Other campers had obviously used thespace and there were black marks on the walls.

　　他們繞過(guò)去，但正如阿蘭早就知道的那樣，無(wú)路可進(jìn)。最后，他們又原路返回，在一座小型石頭建筑旁生了一堆火。顯然，其他野營(yíng)的人也曾使用過(guò)這個(gè)地方，墻壁上還留有黑色的痕跡。

　　He cooked supper, using half a precious bottle ofwater to make it. The intimacy was still there butthe talking was at an end. Alan could hardly containhis rising excitement. They had night together.Anything could happen.

　　他晚飯用去了半瓶珍貴的水，親密關(guān)系依舊存在，但他們已經(jīng)無(wú)話可說(shuō)。阿蘭幾乎難以按捺那正在膨脹的沖動(dòng)。他們一起擁有這個(gè)夜晚，任何事情都可能會(huì)發(fā)生。

　　Alan suddenly realized what he had to do. Aftersupper, in the glow of the scented mountain twilight,he made coffee and they sat in silence. Darkness came slowly; the volume of the cricketsseemed to increase. Still he had made no move.

　　阿蘭突然意識(shí)到他必須得做些什么了。晚飯后，在芳香彌漫的大山的幽光中，他煮了咖啡，他們默默地坐在一起。夜幕慢慢地降臨;蛐蛐兒的音量好像升高了。他仍沒(méi)有行動(dòng)。

　　She was lying in front of the fire, her body almost glowing. Alan reached out a hand andtemporarily she took it. Then Alice yawned and stretched.“I’m turning in now,”she said.

　　她躺在火堆前，身上閃閃發(fā)光。阿蘭伸出一只手，她暫時(shí)握住了他的手。接著，愛(ài)麗絲打哈欠，伸展身體。“我現(xiàn)在要睡覺(jué)了，”她說(shuō)。

　　“More coffee?”asked Alan miserably.

　　“再來(lái)點(diǎn)咖啡?”阿蘭痛苦地問(wèn)道。

　　She kissed him on the forehead. “No thanks”

　　她在他的前額上吻了吻。“不，謝謝。”

　　Had he ever loved his brother Tom? He must have done sometime. Certainly he had alwaysbeen jealous of him as a child. He the introvert;Tom the extrovert. Alan thought about hisintroverted personality. He could see quite clearly how he had failed so dismally with Alice andhow Tom had taken over so easily. Tom was what she wanted. She didn’t want what he had.

　　他愛(ài)他的弟弟湯姆嗎?有時(shí)他肯定愛(ài)，當(dāng)然他總是忌妒弟弟，像一個(gè)小孩子。對(duì)他們倆來(lái)說(shuō)，他性格內(nèi)向，湯姆性格外向。阿蘭想著自己內(nèi)向的性格。他十分清楚自己如何在愛(ài)麗絲身上敗得這么慘，而湯姆又是如何輕而易舉便得到了她。湯姆正是她需要的那號(hào)人，她并不需要他這種人。 Gloomily, Alan climbed into thesleeping bag and drifted off to sleep. Beside him Alice slept, her breathing seeming to keep intime with the insistent beat of crickets.

　　阿蘭悶悶不樂(lè)地鉆進(jìn)自己的睡袋，漸漸地進(jìn)入了夢(mèng)鄉(xiāng)。躺在他身旁的愛(ài)麗絲也睡著了，她的呼吸聲似乎和蛐蛐兒的鳴叫聲保持同步。

　　Alan dreamt. The crickets had stopped. There was a slight breeze and the luminous hand ofhis watch registered just after two. Her sleeping bag was empty; Alice had gone. For a while hejust couldn’t believe it. He sat up and felt the dark walls of Santa Caterina close in on him.

　　阿蘭做了一個(gè)夢(mèng)。蛐蛐聲都停止了。一陣微風(fēng)拂過(guò)。他的手表上的夜光針剛過(guò)了兩點(diǎn)。愛(ài)麗絲的睡袋空了;她已經(jīng)走了。好一陣子，他都無(wú)法相信這個(gè)事實(shí)。他坐起來(lái)，感到圣卡塔林納的黑黢黢的墻壁將他團(tuán)團(tuán)圍住了。

　　Then he was on the mountainside, stumbling blindly up the mountain path, hearing theirlaughter. Softly he crept up on them until he could see their bodies entwined. Alan’s anger roseto fever pitch and he rushed towards them. They fell apart. He sobbed as he had neversobbed since he was a child.

　　隨后，他來(lái)到山邊，踉踉蹌蹌地沿著山路盲目前行。聽見(jiàn)他們的朗朗笑聲，他輕輕地爬過(guò)去，看到兩個(gè)身體緊緊地貼在一塊。他感到痛苦萬(wàn)分，怒不可遏地沖向他們。他們猛地分開了。他低聲啜泣，盡管他從孩提時(shí)起就從來(lái)沒(méi)有哭過(guò)。

　　She woke him anxiously shaking at his sunburnt shoulders.

　　她焦急地?fù)u著他被太陽(yáng)曬黑的肩膀，喚醒了他。

　　“What’s the matter?”she kept asking over and over again“Alan, what’s wrong?”

　　“發(fā)生了什么事?”她一遍又一遍地問(wèn)，“阿蘭，怎么了?”

　　He stared up at her, blinking in the glow of the dying camp fire.

　　他抬眼盯著她，在篝火的余光中眨著眼睛。

　　“Nothing,”he said automatically.“Nothing really.”

　　“沒(méi)什么，”他不由自主地說(shuō)。“真的沒(méi)什么。”

　　“But—”

　　“可是——”

　　“Just a bad dream, that’s all.”

　　“只是做了一個(gè)惡夢(mèng)，僅此而已。”

　　“You were crying.”Her voice was soft, tender, just like she used to be.

　　“你剛才在哭，”她的聲音像過(guò)去那樣溫柔和氣。

　　Alan turned over in his sleeping bag. “I’m fine.”he said.“Let’s get some sleep.”

　　阿蘭在睡袋里翻了一下身，背對(duì)著她說(shuō)：“我很好，我們?cè)偎粫?huì)兒吧!”

　　Alan woke with the early-morning sun gently warming his face. He sat up, his head muzzy withthe dream, his cheeks salty, tear-stained.“You were crying.”Her voice came back to him and hewinced. Alice had felt sorry for him and he instantly smothered, patronized. He broke into asweat of agony and apprehension. How could he ever open up a discussion with her now?

　　阿蘭醒來(lái)時(shí)，晨陽(yáng)暖暖地照在他的臉上。他滿臉淚痕，咸咸的。他坐起來(lái)，腦海里還懵懵懂懂地縈繞著那個(gè)夢(mèng)。“你剛才在哭，”她的聲音又傳了過(guò)來(lái)。他退縮了一下。愛(ài)麗絲已經(jīng)感到對(duì)不起他了。他立即感到很壓抑。由于巨大的悲痛和憂傷，猛地出了一身冷汗?，F(xiàn)在他將怎樣和她展開一場(chǎng)討論呢?

　　He looked cautiously round her sleeping bag. It was empty and Alan froze. Then, gradually, herelaxed. It was just after eight and she had probably gone to find a place to go to the loo. Hewaited, calmly, gloomily, and then anxiously as she did not appear. Hurriedly Alan struggled outof his sleeping bag and began to search the grounds of the monastery. But there was no signof her at all.

　　他小心翼翼地看了看她的睡袋，睡袋已經(jīng)空了。阿蘭一下子僵住了。隨后，漸漸地，他又放松了?，F(xiàn)在剛過(guò)8點(diǎn)，她也許是找地方方便去了。他平靜地、憂郁地等待著，爾后還是不見(jiàn)她回來(lái)，就心急火燎起來(lái)。阿蘭慌忙從睡袋里掙扎出來(lái)，開始在寺院里四處尋找。但蹤跡皆無(wú)。

　　Panic set in as Alan scoured the grounds again anddrew a blank for the second time. It was becomingincreasingly obvious that she had walked out on himand was probably climbing down to Tom. But ratherthan feeling anger, Alan simply felt desolate. Shehadn’t even left him a note. He went over andtouched the inside of her sleeping bag. It felt cold.

　　當(dāng)阿蘭再次驚慌失措四處尋找仍然一無(wú)所獲的時(shí)候，顯然她已經(jīng)不辭而別，很可能是下山找湯姆去了。阿蘭感到的與其說(shuō)是生氣，倒不如說(shuō)孤獨(dú)。她甚至連一張紙也沒(méi)有給他留下。他走過(guò)去將手伸進(jìn)她的睡袋，里面冷冰冰的。

　　Surely she wouldn’t find her way back alone. Alan began to search again, this time through thetangled thickets of what might have been a herb garden. Something caught his eye. Lying onthe ground was a small, shiny object. It was Alice’s bracelet.

　　她肯定無(wú)法獨(dú)自找到回路。阿蘭又開始找起來(lái)。這一次通過(guò)雜草叢生的灌木叢。某個(gè)東西引起了他的注意。躺在地上的是一個(gè)小小的、光亮的東西。那是愛(ài)麗絲的手鐲。

　　Suddenly real fear clutched at him. Someone had come and abducted her. Or had Tom come tofind her? But the bracelet?

　　突然，一種真正的恐懼襲上他的心頭，一定是有人拐走了她，或者是湯姆來(lái)找她的?可是，手鐲又怎么講呢?

　　“Please God,”Alan muttered. “Let her be safe.”“Why hadn’t he looked after her? Why hadn’t hebeen able to reassure her? Alan now realized how he had locked himself into his own shell ofrejection and jealousy. Tom no longer seemed a threat. All Alan wanted was Alice, and if onlyhe could find her they would talk and talk and talk.”

　　“求求你，上帝，”阿蘭喃喃道，“保佑她平安。”為什么他沒(méi)有照顧她?為什么他沒(méi)有安慰她?現(xiàn)在阿蘭才意識(shí)到他以前是如何將自己鎖進(jìn)一個(gè)妒忌和沮喪的空殼里?湯姆看起來(lái)似乎不再是一種威脅。阿蘭所想的全都是愛(ài)麗絲，只要能找到她，他們就會(huì)傾心長(zhǎng)談。

　　For the fourth time he began to search the grounds, the bracelet in his hands. Then , in acrevice on the broken stones of the terrace, he saw something bright and beady. Alice’s ring.And he knew how tight on her finger it was. Sweat ran down Alan’s face.

　　他開始第四次在地上尋找，千里拿著那只手鐲，隨后在一排房屋堆砌的石頭縫里，他看見(jiàn)一件東西在發(fā)光——是愛(ài)麗絲的戒指，而且他知道那是緊緊地戴在她的手上的呀。阿蘭的汗從臉上流了下來(lái)。

　　“Alice,”he cried out. “Alice!?” No response. Alan began to run.

　　“愛(ài)麗絲，”他喊道，“愛(ài)麗絲!”沒(méi)有回音。阿蘭開始跑了起來(lái)。

　　It was only when he was back at the front door of the monastery that he realized there wasone place he had not been to. His heart thumping and his throat dry, he went down the steps.

　　正當(dāng)他驚恐地返回到那座廟的前門時(shí)，他意識(shí)到還有一個(gè)地方他沒(méi)有去找。他的心砰砰直跳，嗓子發(fā)干。他走下臺(tái)階。

　　Now he ran eagerly forward, pushing his way through the foliage. He gave a gasp of relief. Shewas there, lying on the pine needles.

　　他急不可待地跑上前，推開樹葉，看到她在那里，躺在松葉上，心里松了一口氣。

　　“Alice.”

　　“愛(ài)麗絲。”

　　She woke slowly, sleepily, stretching in the sun. “Sorry—I fell asleep.”

　　她慢慢地醒來(lái)了，睡眼朦朦地在太陽(yáng)下伸伸懶腰。“對(duì)不起——我睡著了。”

　　“Where the hell have you been?”

　　“你究竟到哪里去了?”

　　“I went for a walk.”

　　“我出去走了走。”

　　He held up the bracelet and the ring.“I found these.”He was angry, positive. She lookedaway.“Come on .Why did you do it?”I’ve been searching for you. I thought—I thought you’dbeen kidnapped or something. Been hurt?

　　他舉起手鐲和戒指。“我找到了這些東西。”他很生氣，這一點(diǎn)是肯定的。她轉(zhuǎn)移了視線。“得了吧，你為什么這樣做?我一直在找你，我還以為——我還以為你被綁架或者別的什么了呢。受到了什么傷害了嗎?”

　　“I’m sorry.”

　　“對(duì)不起。”

　　“That’s not enough.”

　　“說(shuō)‘對(duì)不起’就夠了。”

　　“I laid a trail.”

　　“我留有痕跡。”

　　“You did what?”He was outraged.

　　“你到底做了什么呀?”他怒氣沖沖的。

　　“I wanted you to find me.”

　　“我想讓你找我。”

　　“I was terrified—I thought—”

　　“我當(dāng)時(shí)很害怕——我還以為——”

　　“I’m sorry.” She stood up. “I suppose I wanted tofrighten you.”

　　“對(duì)不起，”她站起來(lái)。“我想我原來(lái)只想嚇唬嚇唬你。”

　　“Why ?” he barked at her.

　　“為什么?”他大聲問(wèn)道。

　　She looked away again. “I didn’t think you wanted me any more.”

　　她又一次轉(zhuǎn)移了目光。“我還以為你不會(huì)再要我了呢。”

　　“Wanted you?”

　　“要你?”

　　“You haven’t spoken to me. You seemed so cold. Indifferent somehow.”

　　“你沒(méi)有對(duì)我說(shuō)過(guò)，你似乎很冷淡，在某種程度上無(wú)動(dòng)于衷。”

　　“But it’s you who were indifferent. ”

　　“可無(wú)動(dòng)于衷的是你。”

　　She looked genuinely amazed.“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

　　她看上去真的很吃驚。“我真不知道你在說(shuō)什么。”

　　“I thought you wanted Tom. Didn’t want to be with me.”His voice broke.

　　“我還以為你想要湯姆，不想和我在一塊哩。”他的聲音沙啞。

　　“I thought you found him—more fun.”

　　“我還以為你找他——開心去了呢。”

　　“Him? Oh, he’s a baby. I was lonely, I suppose. You seemed so fed up with me. I didn’t realizedit would —oh , Alan.” She got up and drew him to her , kissing him so hard on the lips.“You aresuch a bloody fool.” I love you—don’t you know?

　　“他?噢，他還是一個(gè)小毛孩子。我很孤獨(dú)，我想，你好像很煩我，我沒(méi)有意識(shí)到那么——噢，阿蘭。”她站起來(lái)，將他拉向自己，深深地吻起了他的嘴唇。“你真是個(gè)大傻瓜。我愛(ài)你——難道你不知道嗎?”

　　“Why did you come here?”he asked.

　　“你怎么來(lái)到這了?”他問(wèn)道。

　　“I was wandering about. I couldn’t sleep. Look—”She knelt down and stared at the Latininscription on the two solitary graves.“Who are they?”she asked.

　　“我是隨便走走。我睡不著。瞧——”她跪下來(lái)，盯著前面的兩座孤墳的拉丁碑文問(wèn)道：“他們是什么人?”

　　“I don’t know. I’ve often wondered. Dom Carols Fuenta —he’s definitely a monk. But the oddthing is that he’s buried alongside a woman.” He paused and then went on.“Maria Degardes. Hewas buried in 1892. She was in 1894.”
