双语小说连载:《董贝父子》第9章 Part 1
That spice of romance and love of the marvellousof which there was a pretty strong infusion in the nature of young Walter Gay
and which the guardianship of his Uncle
old Solomon Gills
had not very much weakened by the waters of stern practical experience
was the occasion of his attaching an unmon and delightful interest to the adventure of Florence with Good Mrs Brown. He pampered and cherished it in his memory
especially that part of it with which he had been associated: until it became the spoiled child of his fancy
and took its own way
and did what it liked with it.
The recollection of those incidents
and his own share in them
may have been made the more captivating
perhaps
by the weekly dreamings of old Sol and Captain Cuttle on Sundays. Hardly a Sunday passed
without mysterious references being made by one or other of those worthy chums to Richard Whittington; and the latter gentleman had even gone so far as to purchase a ballad of considerable antiquity
that had long fluttered among many others
chiefly expressive of maritime sentiments
on a dead wall in the Commercial Road: which poetical performance set forth the courtship and nuptials of a promising young coal-whipper with a certain 'lovely Peg
' the acplished daughter of the master and part-owner of a Newcastle collier. In this stirring legend
Captain Cuttle descried a profound metaphysical bearing on the case of Walter and Florence; and it excited him so much
that on very festive occasions
as birthdays and a few other non-Dominical holidays
he would roar through the whole song in the little back parlour; making an amazing shake on the word Pe-e-eg
with which every verse concluded
in pliment to the heroine of the piece.
--------①纽卡斯尔(Newcastle):英国港市。But a frank
free-spirited
open-hearted boy
is not much given to analysing the nature of his own feelings
however strong their hold upon him: and Walter would have found it difficult to decide this point. He had a great affection for the wharf where he had encountered Florence
and for the streets (albeit not enchanting in themselves) by which they had e home. The shoes that had so often tumbled off by the way
he preserved in his own room; and
sitting in the little back parlour of an evening
he had drawn a whole gallery of fancy portraits of Good Mrs Brown. It may be that he became a little smarter in his dress after that memorable occasion; and he certainly liked in his leisure time to walk towards that quarter of the town where Mr Dombey's house was situated
on the vague chance of passing little Florence in the street. But the sentiment of all this was as boyish and innocent as could be. Florence was very pretty
and it is pleasant to admire a pretty face. Florence was defenceless and weak
and it was a proud thought that he had been able to render her any protection and assistance. Florence was the most grateful little creature in the world
and it was delightful to see her bright gratitude beaming in her face. Florence was neglected and coldly looked upon
and his breast was full of youthful interest for the slighted child in her dull
stately home.
可是一位胸怀坦率、豁达大度、光明磊落的孩子并不很喜爱分析自己感情的性质,不论这种感情是多么强烈地支配着他;沃尔特要作出这样的判断也是困难的。他对他跟弗洛伦斯相遇的码头,对他们回家时经过的街道(虽然它们本身并没有令人销魂的地方)都怀着深厚的感情。他把那双在路上不时脱落的鞋子保存在他自己的房间里;有一天晚上他坐在小后客厅里,给想象中的善良的布朗太太画了肖像,画了整整一走廊。在那次值得纪念的事件发生以后,他的衣着也可能变得稍稍漂亮起来了;他在闲暇的时候,的确喜欢朝着董贝先生公馆坐落的那个市区走去,模模糊糊地希望在街上遇到小弗洛伦斯。可是所有这些思想感情都是孩子气的,天真烂漫的。弗洛伦斯是很漂亮的,爱慕漂亮的脸孔是件愉快的事情;弗洛伦斯是软弱无力,没有人保卫她的,想到他向她提供了保护与帮助是值得自豪的。弗洛伦斯是这世界上最感恩的小人儿,看到她脸上闪耀着热烈感激的光彩是使人高兴的。弗洛伦斯是被轻视和冷落的,他在心中对这位在她那沉闷、庄严的家中被看不起的孩子满怀着年轻人的兴趣。
Thus it came about that
perhaps some half-a-dozen times in the course of the year
Walter pulled off his hat to Florence in the street
and Florence would stop to shake hands. Mrs Wickam (who
with a characteristic alteration of his name
invariably spoke of him as 'Young Graves') was so well used to this
knowing the story of their acquaintance
that she took no heed of it at all. Miss Nipper
on the other hand
rather looked out for these occasions: her sensitive young heart being secretly propitiated by Walter's good looks
and inclining to the belief that its sentiments were responded to.
