属类： 双语小说 【分类】世界名著 -[作者: 托马斯-哈代] 阅读：[14339]
简介：这部小说于1874年首次出版，立即畅销。故事发生在静谧的英国乡村的田野上、农场里。当时，人们收获靠手工，车靠马拉，他们的生活伴随着季节的变化而起伏。
当然，那安静的乡村世界早已成为过去，但是，那支配着人们生活的激情却丝毫未变。春去秋来，循环往复，爱却一如既往，猛烈地、不可阻挡地燃烧着。
美丽的芭丝谢芭·伊芙丁自己拥有农场，没有必要嫁人。但是，她无法永远阻挡爱情。那位牧人盖伯瑞尔·奥克，他对芭丝谢芭的默默的爱稳定持久;那位农场主伯德伍德，他人至中年，严肃庄重，从未尝过爱情滋味;那位托伊中士，他红色戎装，英俊年轻……芭丝谢芭虽然自信、独立，但是，爱的猛烈、爱的激情，她要学的东西还很多很多。

-

星期六，在卡斯特桥的集市上，伯德伍德看到了那个搅乱了他的梦的女人。

1
-

On Saturday at Casterbridge market Boldwood saw the woman who was disturbing his dreams.

2
-

第一次他扭过头来看她。

2
-

For the first time he turned his head and looked at her.

3
-

实际上，这是他有生以来头一次盯着看女人。

3
-

It was in fact the first time in his life that he had looked at any woman.

4
-

到目前为止，他一直都把女人当作是遥远的，甚至是陌生的、与他无关的生物。

4
-

Up to now he had considered women to be distant，almost foreign creatures who had nothing to do with him.

5
-

现在，他看到了芭丝谢芭的头发，看到了她脸上的每一处。

5
-

Now he saw Bathsheba’s hair，and every detail of her face.

6
-

他注意到了她的身材、她的穿着，甚至她的脚。

6
-

He noticed her figure，her dress，and even her feet.

7
-

在他看来她似乎是很美的，他的心开始跳动。

7
-

She seemed very beautiful to him，and his heart began to move within him.

8
-

"这个女人，这个漂亮、年轻的女人要我和他结婚!"他心想。

8
-

’And this woman，this lovely young woman，has asked me to marry her!’he thought.

9
-

当他看到芭丝谢芭把麦子卖给另一个农场主时，内心充满嫉妒。

9
-

As he was watching Bathsheba selling wheat to another farmer，he was filled with jealousy.

10
-

芭丝谢芭知道伯德伍德的眼睛一直在盯着自己。她终于使他开始看她了!

10
-

All this time Bathsheba was aware of his eyes on her. At last she had made him look at her!

11
-

不过，她更希望他从一开始就喜欢她，而不是由于情人卡的作用。

11
-

But she would have preferred him to admire her from the beginning，without the encouragement of her valentine.

12
-

她打扰了一个为她所尊敬的人的一惯的安宁，她为此感到内疚，

12
-

She felt sorry she had disturbed the usual calmness of a man she respected，

13
-

可又觉得不能向他道歉，否则，要么会惹恼他，要么便会使他得到鼓励。

13
-

but considered she could not apologize to him without either offending or encouraging him.

14
-

伯德伍德先生没有和她说话，他回到了农场的家里。

14
-

Mr Boldwood did not try to speak to her，and returned home to his farm.

15
-

他是一个感情强烈的人，他的情感通常都深深地埋在心底。

15
-

He was a man of strong feelings，which normally lay hidden deep inside him.

16
-

他严肃，不和邻居们开玩笑，

16
-

Because he was serious，and did not joke with his neighbours，

17
-

所以人们都觉得他很冷漠。

17
-

people thought he was cold.

18
-

可他爱谁或是恨谁时，却是全心全意的。

18
-

But when he loved or hated，it was with his whole heart.

19
-

如果芭丝谢芭知道这个黝黑、沉静的人的感情是多么强烈的话，

19
-

If Bathsheba had known how strong the feelings of this dark and silent figure were，

20
-

她一定会为自己的不慎重而自责不已。

20
-

she would have blamed herself terribly for her thoughtlessness.

21
-

不过，谁也不知道在他沉静的外表后面藏着什么。

21
-

But nobody guessed what lay behind his calm appearance.

22
-

几天后，伯德伍德先生望着与他的地挨着的芭丝谢芭的田地，

22
-

A few days later Mr Boldwood was looking at Bathsheba’s fields，which were next to his own，

23
-

他看见她在帮着盖伯瑞尔·奥克照料羊群。

23
-

when he saw her helping Gabriel Oak with the sheep.

24
-

伯德伍德觉得芭丝谢芭象黑夜的月亮发着光。

24
-

To Boldwood，Bathsheba shone like the moon on a dark night.

25
-

他的那颗从不为什么所动的心充满了对她的爱意。

25
-

His heart，which had never been touched before，was filled completely with his love for her.

26
-

他决定去对她表明心声。

26
-

He decided to go and speak to her.

27
-

他在田地的大门口停住了脚，这时芭丝谢芭抬起头来，注意到了她。

27
-

As he stopped at the gate of the field，Bathsheba looked up and noticed him.

28
-

盖伯瑞尔看着她，发现她红了脸。

28
-

Gabriel was watching her face and saw her blush.

29
-

他立刻想到伯德伍德给他看的那个装着情人卡的信封，

29
-

He immediately thought of the envelope，with the valentine，that Boldwood had shown him，

30
-

估计是芭丝谢芭引得这位农场主爱上了她。

30
-

and suspected Bathsheba of encouraging the farmer to fall in love with her.

31
-

伯德伍德意识到他们在注意自己，他突然感到没有信心。

31
-

Boldwood realized they had noticed him，and suddenly felt unsure of himself.

32
-

他不很了解女人，所以无法从芭丝谢芭的态度上弄清她是否愿意见他。

32
-

He did not know enough about women to discover from Bathsheba’s manner whether she wanted to see him or not.

33
-

所以他没有进地里去，而是一直走过了大门。

33
-

And so he did not enter the field，but walked on， past the gate.

34
-

芭丝谢芭知道他是来看她的，心里感到很不安。

34
-

Bathsheba，however，knew that he had come to see her， and felt extremely guilty.

35
-

她向自己保证决不再打扰这个人平静的生活了。

35
-

She promised herself never again to disturb the peace of this man’s life.

36
-

不幸的是，她的保证太晚了，这种保证常常会这样。

36
-

Unfortunately her promise was made too late，as such promises often are.

37
-

直到五月底，伯德伍德才鼓起勇气宣布了他的爱情。

37
-

It was not until the end of May that Boldwood was brave enough to declare his love.

38
-

他来到芭丝谢芭的家，女仆告诉他女主人去看给羊洗澡了。

38
-

He went to Bathsheba’s house，where the maids told him their mistress was watching the sheep-washing.

39
-

每年春天都在一个特别的池子里给羊洗澡，这样可以清洁羊毛，也可去除羊身上的寄生虫。

39
-

Every spring the sheep were washed in a special pool，to keep their wool clean and to get rid of insects on their skin.

40
-

伯德伍德穿过田地走向池塘，他发现农场工人们都在那里忙着给羊洗澡。

40
-

Boldwood walked across the fields to the pool， where he found the farm workers busily washing the sheep.

41
-

芭丝谢芭站在他们跟前，她看到伯德伍德向她走来。

41
-

Bathsheba was standing near them，and saw Boldwood coming towards her.

42
-

她走开了，沿着河边走去，

42
-

She moved away，walking beside the river，

43
-

她能听到身后草里的脚步声。她感到她的四周弥漫着爱意，像空气中的香味。

43
-

but she could hear footsteps behind her in the grass，and felt love all around her，like perfume in the air.

44
-

伯德伍德追上了她。

44
-

Boldwood caught up with her.

45
-

"伊芙丁小姐!"他轻声叫道。

45
-

’Miss Everdene!’he said quietly.

46
-

她颤抖了，转身说，"早晨好。"

46
-

She trembled，turned，and said，’Good morning. ’

47
-

她从他说话的声音已猜出了他的来意。

47
-

She had guessed the truth from the way he spoke those two words.

48
-

"我想得太多了，都想不清了，"他直截了当地说，

48
-

’I feel-almost too much to think， ’he said simply.

49
-

"伊芙丁小姐，我的生活不再属于我，而是属于你。

49
-

’My life does not belong to me any more，Miss Everdene，but to you.

50
-

我是来向你求婚的。"

50
-

I’ve come to propose marriage to you. ’

51
-

芭丝谢芭努力地不使感情在脸上表现出来。

51
-

Bathsheba tried not to show any expression on her face.

52
-

"我41岁，"他接着说。

52
-

’I’m now forty-one，’he continued.

53
-

"从未结过婚，甚至从未想过会结婚。

53
-

’I’ve never married，or thought I ever would marry.

54
-

但人都是变化的，我见到你时，我变了。

54
-

But we all change，and I changed when I saw you.

55
-

我现在最迫切需要的就是要你做我的妻子。"

55
-

More than anything else，I want you as my wife. ’

56
-

"伯德伍德先生，我觉得尽管我非常尊敬您，

56
-

’I think，Mr Boldwood，that although I respect you very much，

57
-

但这并不足以让我接受你的求婚。"

57
-

I don’t feel-enough for you-to accept your proposal. ’

58
-

"没有你我的生活将毫无意义!"他嚷道，有些沉不住气了。

58
-

’But my life is worthless without you!’he cried，calm no longer.

59
-

"希望你允许我一遍遍地说我爱你!"

59
-

’I want you-to let me say I love you，again and again!’

60
-

芭丝谢芭沉默不语。

60
-

Bathsheba remained silent.

61
-

"我希望你能把我当回事，听我说说我的心里话。"他又说道。

61
-

’I think and hope you care enough for me to listen to what I have to say!’he added.

62
-

芭丝谢芭正准备问他怎么会这样想时，突然记起了那张情人卡。

62
-

Bathsheba was about to ask why he should think that，when she remembered the valentine.

63
-

这样，伯德伍德认为芭丝谢芭喜欢他是很自然的。

63
-

After all，it was quite natural for him to think she admired him.

64
-

"我希望我能用漂亮的言词追求你，"农场主继续说，

64
-

’I wish I could court you with beautiful words，’the farmer went on，

65
-

"但我只能说我发疯地爱着你，而且想要你做我的妻子。

65
-

’but I can only say I love you madly and want you for my wife.

66
-

要不是你燃起了我的希望，我是不会求婚的。"

66
-

I wouldn’t have proposed if you hadn’t allowed me to hope. ’

67
-

"伯德伍德先生，这对我太难了!

67
-

’Mr Boldwood，this is difficult for me!

68
-

恐怕我不能和你结婚。我并不爱你!

68
-

I’m afraid I can’t marry you. I’m not in love with you!

69
-

我不该寄那张情人卡--请原谅--那样做是欠考虑的。"

69
-

I should never have sent that valentine-forgive me-it was a thoughtless thing to do. ’

70
-

"不，不，别说那件事是欠考虑的!

70
-

’No，no，don’t say it was thoughtless!

71
-

说它是你喜欢我的开始。

71
-

Say it was the beginning of a feeling that you would like me.

72
-

考虑一下你是否愿意我做你的丈夫。

72
-

Just consider whether you can accept me as a husband.

73
-

我明白对你来说我有点太老了，可是相信我，我会比年轻的人照顾得你更好。

73
-

I know I’m too old for you，but believe me， I’ll take more care of you than a younger man would.

74
-

你没有需要操心的事。

74
-

You’ll have nothing to worry about.

75
-

你会拥有你需要的一切!

75
-

You’ll have everything you want.

76
-

只有天知道你对我意味着什么!"

76
-

God only knows how much you mean to me!’

77
-

芭丝谢芭那颗年轻的心对这个敏感的人充满了怜悯，他讲得如此的直率和诚恳。

77
-

Bathsheba’s young heart was full of pity for this sensitive man who had spoken so simply and honestly.

78
-

"别这么说，别这么说!你的感情如此强烈，而我却什么都不觉得，"她回答说。

78
-

’Don’t say it，don’t!You feel so much，and I feel nothing，’she replied.

79
-

"别再说这个了，我无法考虑!唉，我使你这么痛苦!"

79
-

’Don’t discuss it any more. I can’t think!Oh，I’ve given you such pain!’

80
-

"告诉我你并没有完全拒绝我。

80
-

’Tell me that you don’t refuse completely.

81
-

给我一线希望!

81
-

Give me some hope!

82
-

我可以再求婚吗?

82
-

May I ask you again?

83
-

我可以想你吗?"

83
-

May I think of you?’

84
-

"可以，我想可以。"

84
-

’Yes，I suppose so. ’

85
-

"我可以希望你下次会接受我的求婚吗?"

85
-

’May I hope you will accept my proposal next time?’

86
-

"不，别抱希望!我现在得走了。给我时间让我想想。"

86
-

’No，don’t hope!I must go now. Give me time to think. ’

87
-

"行，我给你时间，"他感激地说。"谢谢你，现在我高兴了。"

87
-

’Yes，I’ll give you time，’he answered gratefully. ’Thank you，I’m happier now. ’

88
-

"请别这样，伯德伍德先生，要是仅仅因为我同意，你就觉得那么高兴，那你就先别高兴!

88
-

’No，please，don’t be happier，Mr Boldwood，if happiness only comes from my agreeing!

89
-

我必须考虑考虑。"

89
-

I must think. ’

90
-

"我可以等，"他同意了。他们分手，各自回到自己的家里。

90
-

I’ll wait，’he agreed. They turned away from each other， and returned to their separate houses.
