//早期碎念

今年清明(210405), 放假回老家, 吃完午飯, 給三畝小麥打蟲藥.?

打藥

背上蟲藥灑滿田

低頭便見彩虹天

一身煩惱絕不提

停下原來是向前

打藥2

風(fēng)吹麥浪綠油地

低頭便見微風(fēng)跡

迎面彩虹蟲藥氣

衣角褲泥洗衣機(jī)

書名原文: Pocahontas

Author: Tim Vicary

Virginia is a new world for the English, but it is not new for the Indian people of North America. They live there; their fathers and their grandfathers lived there before them. It is their country, their home. And they do not like these white men from across the sea.

維爾吉尼亞對英國人來說是一個新世界，但是，對于北美的印第安本土人來說，卻不是那么嶄新。印第安人生活在維爾吉尼亞，他們的父親，他們的祖父在他們之前就生活在那。那是他們的國家，他們的家鄉(xiāng)，他們不喜歡穿越海洋而來的白種人。

//正文

Cheaper 1

The English in Virginia

They wanted to find a new world in the west — a home in a new and exciting country.

他們想要在西方找到一個新世界——一個既嶄新又令人興奮的家園。

//到一個新地方總是令人興奮: 嘗試新事物, 培養(yǎng)新習(xí)慣, 建立新人設(shè).

Smith angrily. 'The men must always be ready; they must carry their guns with them. The Indians tried to kill you because they weren't afraid of you.'

斯密斯很生氣。'我們的那些伙計必須總是在準(zhǔn)備狀態(tài)；他們必須攜帶著他們的槍支在他們身邊。在本土生活的那些印第安人試圖殺死你們，因為他們害怕你們。'

//士兵必須時刻準(zhǔn)備著開戰(zhàn), 這是很累的精神壓力.

Chapter 2

John Smith and Pocahontas

喬恩·斯密斯與波卡昂塔絲

There were a lot of Indian villages in Virginia, and every village had its Chief. But there was only one King.?

在 Virginia 有許多的村莊，每個村莊都有村長。（雖然村長很多）但只有一個國王。

//一個國王管理其他的諸侯, 現(xiàn)實中人與人不平等的管理模式.

Powhatan said to his brother, Opekankanu. 'They are living in my country, and killing my people. I want to see one of them.'

Powhatan 對著他的兄弟 Opekankanu 說: 他們現(xiàn)在住在我滴國家，還謀殺我滴人民。我想見見他們其中的一人（問問咋回事）

//國王要見人, 說不清楚就要被滅口.

But there were two hundred Indians, and he was one man. So he gave them his gun…

但是，有兩百名印第安人（包圍了他），而他只有自己。所以他把他的槍給了他們…

//單純的靠人數(shù)取勝, 簡單粗暴, 子彈再多也不行.

'My brother wants to kill him, but I want to know more about these Englishmen first — and you can help me. I'm going to give him to you, little Pocahontas.'

'我的兄弟想要殺了他，但是我想首先知道更多關(guān)于英國人的信息——你可以幫助我完成。我打算把他賜給你，小家伙 Pocahontas'

//國王也是愛玩, 不管自己的國家將會面臨的威脅.

'No, Opekankanu!' she cried. 'No! I am the King's daughter, and I say no!' She looked at her father. 'Father — don't kill this man — please! Give him to me!'

'不要那么做，Opekankanu！'她大叫道：'別動！我是國王的女兒，我說了不行！'她看了看她的父親。'父親——不要殺了這個男人——求求你了！把他交給我（處置）吧！'

//父女倆好演技.

At first Powhatan said nothing. Then, slowly, he smiled. ' Very well, Pocahontas,' he said. 'You are only thirteen years old, but this white man is not very big. He is a boy with hair on his face. You can have him.'

一開始，Powhatan 什么也沒說。之后，緩慢地微笑了。 "非常好（表演的非常好，想找男朋友的態(tài)度非常好），Pocahontas，"他說道: "你只有十三歲，但這個男的也沒多大。他是一名年輕的男孩，只不過有張老人的臉。你可以擁有他。"

//原來抓來的是一個女婿

Chapter 3

A friend for the English

學(xué)英語的朋友

'Look,' said Smith. 'You can't carry these guns through the forest. But I can give you some gunpowder for Powhatan. Here, take it. Be very careful with it.'

"看" 斯密斯說道: "你們不能帶著這些槍炮穿越森林. 但是我能給你們一些火藥帶走給Powhatan 交差。這里，趕緊拿走。要非常小心對待它們。"

//聰明的 Smith 只給了一些火藥.

Pocahontas was interested in everything. She loved to talk to John Smith, and she learnt many things about England and the English.

Pocahontas 對一切都興趣盎然。她很愛和John Smith 談話，并且學(xué)習(xí)許多關(guān)于英格蘭與英語的事情。

//從此以后關(guān)系就變得復(fù)雜.

'It's spring now. They must sow corn and vegetables in their fields. Are they doing that?'

"現(xiàn)在正是春天。他們必須在他們的田地里種谷物與蔬菜。他們有這么做嗎？"

//已經(jīng)把 Englishmen 當(dāng)朋友了, 操心他們家的糧食問題.

'But they must have corn!' Powhatan was angry. 'They need food for the winter. We can't give them our corn every year! And we kill animals, birds, and fish for our food — the English must learn to do that too!'

"但他們必須要有糧食吃！" Powhatan 生氣的說: "他們需要食物度過冬天。我們不能每年都給他們自己人的糧食！并且，咱們自己（還不夠吃的）還要獵殺動物作食物，例如鳥類魚類——那些英國人也必須學(xué)會這樣做。"

//復(fù)雜感情: 既不忍心看他們餓死, 也不想把自己的糧食送給他們.

'They are learning, father,' Pocahontas said. 'But most of these men come from towns in England. They don't know about these things.'

"他們已經(jīng)在學(xué)習(xí)了，父親," Pocahontas 說道。 "盡管他們絕大多數(shù)來自英國的城鎮(zhèn)。他們不知道關(guān)于這些農(nóng)活的知識。"

//在學(xué)了. 在學(xué)了.

//太難了, 學(xué)不會.

//片段翻譯就到此為止了，畢竟自己很少會看

Chapter 4

A wife for John Smith

'I'm very angry with these men, Pocahontas,' he said. 'But I'm not going to kill them, because your father didn't kill me in Werowocomoco. I'm going to give them to you. Take them home, Pocahontas.'

//Werowocomoco:宛若沃克莫克. 地名很難發(fā)音, 增加當(dāng)?shù)厝说膶W(xué)習(xí)負(fù)擔(dān), 精力就這樣浪費了.

====================

Thirty years ago, an Englishman called Francis Drake sailed round the world in a ship.'

Pocahontas laughed. 'But that's not true! Of course the world isn't a ball! Why does the sea stay on it, then?'

//歷史上的弗朗西斯·德雷克

====================

'Pocahontas,' he said carefully, 'you are only fourteen years old, and I'm twenty-eight. And the daughter of the King must marry somebody important.'

// John Smith 在意年齡, 覺得自己占人家便宜.

'You are an important man in Jamestown,' she said quickly. 'And my people and your people must learn to be friends. A husband and wife can...'

// 千古以來, 女生就比男生早慧. 后來可能是社會把女子作為了第二性.?

//且看這里的 Pocahontas 不僅忽略年齡(覺得不重要), 而且考慮到了兩個部落長久的發(fā)展.?

// John Smith 在這里情商太低了, 所以沒有女朋友. 又因為沒有女朋友, 情商又更加下滑.?

He looked at her in surprise, and laughed. She was angry when he laughed.

//傻瓜的笑

//愛笑的男生情商低

//笑口常開, 低情商自然來

Pocahontas was angry and unhappy. She went away, back to her father's village, and she didn't visit John Smith again for two months. But she thought about him every day…perhaps John Smith thought about Pocahontas, too.

Chapter 5

Where is John Smith?

John Smith took her hands. 'What a good friend you are, Pocahontas!' he said. 'How can I thank you?'

Pocahontas looked into his blue eyes. 'You are my King,' she said quietly. 'My King — now, and always.'

//內(nèi)心世界的王.

So Smith and his men carried their guns all the time and they watched very carefully.

//屠夫問大樹要木材做斧頭砍樹, 大樹真就給他了。--泰戈爾

//正常的樹, 健康的樹, 心智健全的樹, 干不出這樣的事情.?

How can ten men fight seven hundred? In a second, John Smith had his hand in Opekankanu's hair, and his gun in Opekankanu's face.

'My gun can kill you,' he said angrily, 'before an arrow can get to me.'

//千鈞一發(fā), 性命攸關(guān)的時刻到了.

//聰明人的反應(yīng)真快, 立即抓住人質(zhì): 一秒之內(nèi), 你的頸血會濺你身上, 死也要拉你墊背

'Be quiet!' Powhatan said. 'John Smith is our enemy. Stay away from him! Do you understand?'

'But you gave him to me, father. Do you remember? I loved his blue eyes then, and I love them now. I cannot stay away from him.'

//反問語氣往往帶有侵略+進(jìn)攻氣味, 經(jīng)常表達(dá): 憤怒, 疲憊, 咬牙切齒的恨.?

//日常生活中要少用反問句, 特別是對身邊的親人. 多用商量句.

//父親生氣: 女兒的胳膊向外拐, 偏袒 John Smith.

//女兒生氣: 父親想殺害 John Smith.

There was often fighting between the English and the Indians now, and dead men do not make friends.

//死人不會交朋友

//Dead men also tell no tales. 死人也無話可說, 沒法告密.

//三個人也可以保持秘密, 前提是另外兩人死了. --本杰明·富蘭克林

She went away into the forest and cried for a long time.

//John Smith 在這里真滴不像個男人, 連個再見都沒有留, 讓 Pocahontas 以為是永別

Chapter 6

A husband for Pocahontas

At first, Powhatan was angry. He wanted his daughter. But then he looked at his guns, and he wanted them more than his daughter.

//親女兒不如一些槍支

//人不如…

Chapter?7

England

'How big London is!' Pocahontas said. 'There are hundreds of houses here — and thousands of people!'

//London 是當(dāng)時最大的城市了

Every day, she saw something new and wonderful.

//其實 John Rolfe 也算是對的人了

//名字也是 John, 可以預(yù)見到, 當(dāng)他知道有另一個藤井樹時, 就很不開心

You can learn from us, and we can learn from you, too. We must be friends.'

//公主的氣質(zhì)

For a second or two Pocahontas could not speak. Then she said, 'A letter from John Smith? But he's dead!'

//只有在大晴天打了一聲響雷, 嚇?biāo)肋^去幾個人, 才可以表達(dá)出 Pocahontas 當(dāng)時的心情

'Well, I can read now!' she said angrily. 'Perhaps I was a child, John Smith, but my father gave you to me — that day in my father's village long ago. Do you remember? That day was the beginning of my love for you.'

//愛越深, 責(zé)越深, 責(zé)越深, 反生恨

'I...don't know about love,' he said slowly. 'You are the daughter of a King, Pocahontas, and I'm not rich, or important. I never had a wife; perhaps I don't understand women. And you were a child, Pocahontas.'

//不會可以學(xué), 為什么不想學(xué)

//沒有錢沒有權(quán), 能活的成功, 也可以養(yǎng)活人家吧

//自卑的 John Smith

'I loved you so much,' she said sadly. Then the door opened and her little son, Thomas, came in. 'But now I have a son and a husband,' she said. 'And they love me. You and I cannot be friends. Goodbye, John Smith.'

//一些人刪除網(wǎng)絡(luò)朋友的原因之一: 曾經(jīng)付出過真摯的感情, 沒有得到回報

Pocahontas died in Gravesend in March 1617.

She is famous for two things. She was the first American woman to marry an Englishman and come to England. And she was a good friend to the English when they first went to Virginia.

//一生的故事充滿趣味也不枉此生

John Smith did not leave England again. He wrote many interesting books about America, and he wrote about Pocahontas in those books. He lived until 1631, but he never had a wife.?

//略顯可憐
