In the Dressing-room

在更衣室里

SIR ANTHONY EVANS?

PLAYS?

LISZT

The words above the door of the theatre were a metre high.

爵士: 安東尼·埃文斯

活動(dòng): 演奏會(huì)

曲目: 李斯特

這些漢字掛在這個(gè)門上, 這個(gè)劇院的門上, 一個(gè)字就有一米高

I had a special ticket, because I was a newspaper reporter.

我有了一個(gè)特殊的門票, 因?yàn)槲沂且幻侣動(dòng)浾?/p>

//英國記者的特殊待遇

Then the pen fell from my hand and I just listened.

之后, 那個(gè)鋼筆掉落了, 從我手中, 我就只剩下聽

//聽的入神, 竟然忘記做筆記

//在某些課堂上, 老師反對(duì)做筆記, 總是告訴學(xué)生先聽懂再說

//所謂聽與記不可兼得

//也即精力有限理論

Chapter 2

A Poor Boy

一個(gè)可憐的男孩

The teacher's name was Mr Grey. He was grey, like his name: he was old and grey and tired.

這里的老師是格雷 (灰白) 先生。他的人和他的名字一樣陳腐老套。他年歲大了，頭發(fā)灰白，看上去疲憊不堪。

//grey = 人名 = 老套的, 無趣的 = 灰白頭發(fā)的

Everything about him was grey: grey suit, grey shirt, grey hair and a long, thin, grey face.

When he smiled the children saw his long, grey teeth.

所有的關(guān)于他（的東西）都是灰色的：灰色的西服，灰色的襯衣，灰色的頭發(fā)，加上一個(gè)又長(zhǎng)又瘦又灰的臉。

當(dāng)他微笑的時(shí)候，孩子們就能看見他（作為灰色星球人的特征）又長(zhǎng)又灰的牙。

//身上一切皆灰.

'Why does he work here?' one of the children asked one day. 'He doesn't like us. '

'But he likes the long school holidays!' said Tony.?

The other children laughed. They thought that was a very clever answer.

'為啥他還在這里工作?' 一個(gè)其中的孩子問道, 在某一天

'他都不喜歡我們'

'但是他喜歡長(zhǎng)長(zhǎng)的學(xué)校假期!' Tony 說道

其余的孩子們大笑. 他們想道: 這真滴是非常聰明的回答

//提問的人有趣, 回答的人更搞笑

//試問哪個(gè)小朋友能問出這樣的問題: 他在這弄啥, 也不管我們死活.

Usually he just sat at his desk and waited quietly for four o'clock to come, when he could go home.

在平常, 他只是坐在他的書桌旁邊, 靜靜等待到四點(diǎn)鐘到來, 那個(gè)可以回家的四點(diǎn)鐘 (放學(xué))

//胳膊搭書桌, 靜靜待放學(xué). 小學(xué)時(shí)代的真實(shí)寫照, 因?yàn)槔蠋熤粫?huì)批評(píng), 因?yàn)閷W(xué)校只會(huì)瞎折騰

Mrs Lark played the piano and the children sang.She was not a very good pianist, but she liked children and she enjoyed her work.

(音樂課上) 拉柯女士演奏鋼琴(伴奏), 孩子們(放聲)歌唱. 她并不是一名非常好的鋼琴家, 但是她喜歡孩子們, 而且她也享受她的工作

//與前面的灰色先生對(duì)比

//李銀河 and 某生物老師: 人活著, 是為了享受

She knew a lot of songs too.

The children sang like birds, too.

Tony's family was poor, and poor people did not often hear music.

她(拉柯女士) 也知道許多的歌曲(如何演奏)

孩子們也唱得很好聽, 就像是鳥鳴一般

Tony 的家人們 (實(shí)在) 很窮, 貧窮的人是不經(jīng)常聽音樂的

//難得的音樂課

//貧窮的現(xiàn)實(shí)讓人遠(yuǎn)離音樂這種精神享受

//所以有努力賺錢的意義: 人窮百事哀. (窮人活著就是遭罪, 但凡自己有點(diǎn)錢, 或者家里情況好一點(diǎn), 都不會(huì)去自殺. 好好利用這個(gè)現(xiàn)實(shí)去賺錢: 越有錢越有骨氣)

Sometimes an Italian street musician came to town. He had a little piano on wheels, and a poor thin monkey which sat on top of it…

有時(shí)候, 一名意大利的街頭音樂家會(huì)來到城鎮(zhèn)(不是Tony所在的村). 他有一個(gè)小小的帶著車輪的鋼琴, 還有一個(gè)又可憐又瘦的猴子, 坐在那個(gè)鋼琴上…

//街頭的藝術(shù)家會(huì)讓猴子拿著托盤討錢. 回想起, 家鄉(xiāng)的廣場(chǎng), 放電影的大叔, 原來是跟意大利人學(xué)的

//廣場(chǎng)放的什么電影, 記得很清楚, 是周星馳的<功夫>

'Give us a penny!' sang the musician. But when the monkey came back, the tin cup was always empty.?

The musician shook his head and pushed his little piano away.

'應(yīng)該給我們一些錢吧' 這位音樂家唱道. 但當(dāng)這只猴子(討錢)回來的時(shí)候, 那個(gè)(裝錢的) 托杯卻總是空空如也.?

這個(gè)演奏家搖了搖他的頭, 推著他的小鋼琴離開了

//可以看出這個(gè)鎮(zhèn)子的貧窮

//一般看到猴子討錢就會(huì)給一點(diǎn)的 (理想主義者如是說)

//在家鄉(xiāng)也是如此, 大叔跟著大家一起笑, 然后從背包微笑拿出托盤, 走到人群中, 卻只有潮水般的退散.

//大人走了, 可能還有小孩子留下. 有個(gè)小孩給了點(diǎn)零食, 他拿來喂養(yǎng)猴子. 有個(gè)小孩送他電子手表, 他沒有接受. 有個(gè)小孩扯著父母的衣角, 叫嚷著多給大叔一些錢…

//還有些小孩想煮了那只猴子…

//這些事真的發(fā)生過嗎, 住過的街道, 蕩過秋千的超市, 全都看不見了, 寫下來的東西怎么好像是自己編的一樣

The toilet was outside, in the yard. There was no bathroom. Everybody washed in the kitchen.

這個(gè)廁所在外面, 在庭院里. 沒有洗澡的房間, 所有人都在廚房洗澡.

//That is exactly where I washed. 廚房洗澡最暖和了

In those days, poor children usually left school when they were thirteen.

在這些(沒有免費(fèi)學(xué)校上的)日子里, 可憐的孩子們通常離開學(xué)校, 就在他們13歲的時(shí)候

//如果是七歲上一年級(jí), 完成六年義務(wù)教育, 正好十三歲

Chapter?3

A Farmer's Boy

一個(gè)農(nóng)場(chǎng)主的男孩

'I've never seen a real cow,' he said to himself. He watched them moving very slowly through the long, green grass. They looked big and quiet.

'我從未見過一頭真正的牛' 他對(duì)自己說. 他注視著它們移動(dòng), 以一種非常緩慢的姿態(tài)穿過又長(zhǎng)又綠的草地, 它們看起來很巨大很安靜

//感覺 quiet 一詞, 在書蟲系列的所有書中, 隨處都可以看到

//檢索了一下, 這個(gè)版本的137冊(cè)中,? 一共出現(xiàn)了1261次

//這個(gè)詞大概可以代表牛津書蟲的精髓了: 倡導(dǎo)大家做一個(gè)安靜的男孩 or 女孩

A fat white cat sat on a wall and watched them with sleepy eyes.

一只肥脹的白貓正坐在高墻上, 帶著張不開的睡眼注視著他們的到來

//想象一下場(chǎng)景: 尾巴驅(qū)趕著蚊子, 身體平行趴在墻上, 四條腿耷拉在墻面, 睜著睡眼惺忪的小眼: 喵~, 來了新客人

The shops were bad, but the factory was worse. When people came out of the factory in the evening their faces looked white and ill.?

'Nothing can be worse than that,' he thought.

商店打工很糟糕, 做工廠里的機(jī)器人更糟糕. 當(dāng)人們出來, 從工廠里面出來的時(shí)候, 都是晚上了, 這時(shí)候他們的臉龐看起來既慘白又病態(tài).?

'沒有什么事情要比那樣更糟糕了' 他想道

//勢(shì)在必行. Tony 不喜歡商店與工廠, 到農(nóng)場(chǎng)工作是必然

//大多的商店是拉貨 and 上架, 工廠則是流水線, 都是比較累人的體力活.

Mr Wood had no sons. He had one daughter. Her name was Linda, and she was a year younger than Tony.

伍德先生沒有兒子, 但他有一位女兒. 她的名字叫做琳達(dá), 她就比托尼小一歲

//原來是岳父養(yǎng)女婿, 童養(yǎng)婿的故事

'It isn't always summer, you know. The sun doesn't always shine. Farmers work hard in the winter too. It's a hard, dirty job.'

'But you like it!' said John, and he was right. Tony liked his job very much.

'不會(huì)總有暑假的, 你懂得. 太陽照常升起但不一定有陽光, 而農(nóng)場(chǎng)人(即使沒有陽光)也會(huì)在冬天拼命工作. 那是既艱巨又臟兮兮的工作'

'但是你 喜歡這個(gè)工作' 吉奧恩說道, 并且他說的是對(duì)的. 托尼確實(shí)非常喜歡他的工作

//給這個(gè)工作打1 星保護(hù), 避免別人發(fā)現(xiàn)了這個(gè)好工作, 自己享受

//有時(shí)候謙虛會(huì)讓朋友難堪

//如果發(fā)生了許多人間慘事, 這時(shí)候就可以來一句: TMD, 太陽照常升起 (老天爺一點(diǎn)都不管人的死活)

之后, 他想起了拉柯女士. 他想起了那些美好的周四早晨, 然后微笑了.?

'我們?cè)谥芩脑缟铣^一些歌, 那樣就足夠(讓我感到幸福)了' 他在心里說道

//這兩個(gè)人對(duì) Tony 影響較大.

在7點(diǎn)鐘, 托尼用冷水洗完澡, 就穿上了他干凈的衣服?

//高中時(shí)期, 大晚上熱的睡不著, 有同學(xué)就把公眾洗衣池的下水口堵上, 直接泡在涼水里面, 怎一個(gè)爽字.

"I can't give you much, Linda," I told her. "But one day I shall be rich and famous. Then I'll come back again, and I'll ask you to marry me."?

She gave me a long, loving look. Then she laughed. "Oh, Anthony," she said.?

"Don't wait until you're rich and famous. Ask me now!"?

So I did — and here we are!'

在一個(gè)夏天, 當(dāng)我20歲時(shí), 我問了琳達(dá)伍德小姐一個(gè)非常重要的問題

'我不能給你太多, 琳達(dá)' 我告訴她. '但總有一天, 我會(huì)富有, 并且有名. 之后我會(huì)再次回來, 然后問你是否愿意嫁給我'

她給了我一個(gè)悠長(zhǎng)的, 愛意的微笑. 之后她就大笑道: '傻瓜, 安東尼', 她說道.

'不要等你富有且出名, 現(xiàn)在就問!'?

所以我問了 ---- 然后, 我們就 (一起) 在這里(接受你采訪)了!

//在尋求伴侶時(shí), 要在這些時(shí)刻: 有錢, 有名, 事業(yè)有成, 自己是天才.

//單身多年的自己: 尋求伴侶是為了啥

//這就是單身狗的困境吧: 沒有'錦', 添不了'花'; 沒有'花', 更沒有'錦'.?

//以自己努力賺錢做'錦', 把 one day 變成 day one (總有一天? --> 第一天)

//傳統(tǒng)價(jià)值觀是讓伴侶輔助自己, 不是拯救自己, 不能要求太多

'We've been married for sixty years. Five years ago, the Queen invited us to Buckingham Palace.?

I was Mr Anthony Evans when I went into the Palace. I was Sir Anthony Evans when I came out... and,'?

— he took his wife's hand — 'my dear Linda was Lady Evans.'

'我們已經(jīng)結(jié)婚60年了. 五年前, 英國女王邀請(qǐng)我們?nèi)グ捉饾h宮.?

進(jìn)去時(shí), 我是安東尼.埃文斯先生, 出來時(shí), 我是安東尼.埃文斯爵士'

----他拿起妻子的手----'我親愛的琳達(dá)變成了爵士夫人(壓寨夫人)'

//進(jìn)去時(shí)還是 Mr Anthony Evans, 出來時(shí)就是 Sir Anthony Evans.

//安東尼·埃文斯先生, 變成了安東尼·埃文斯爵士, 女王為其封爵.

//拍紀(jì)錄片的'爵爺', 大衛(wèi)·愛登堡, 59歲時(shí)(1985年)，被英國皇室授予爵位，被英國人視為英國國寶。

'How many concerts have I given? Two thousand? Three thousand? For me, every concert is new and exciting.?

'我舉辦了多少場(chǎng)演奏會(huì)? 兩千場(chǎng)嗎? 三千場(chǎng)嗎? (記不得了) 對(duì)于我來說, 每一場(chǎng)音樂會(huì)都是嶄新又有趣的'

//真正的享受開音樂會(huì)

Now go, my dear, and write your story. Tell the readers of your newspaper that I am a very lucky man.'

現(xiàn)在得走了, 我親愛的, 之后寫出你的采訪吧. 告訴你所屬報(bào)刊的讀者: 我是一個(gè)非常幸運(yùn)的人

//天才說: 最后的落腳點(diǎn)是因?yàn)樾疫\(yùn)

//魯豫: 你信嗎, 我不信

//命運(yùn)是掌握在自己手中
