Discovery 發(fā)現(xiàn)
Diane Ackerman / 迪安.阿克曼
The word “discovery” literally means, uncovering something that’s hidden from view. But whatreally happens is a change in the viewer. The familiar offers comfort few can resist, and fewerstill want to disturb. But as relatively recent inventions such as the telescope and microscopehave taught us, the unknown has many layers. Every truth has geological strata, and youcan’t have an orthodoxy without a heresy. The moment a newborn opens its eyes, discoverybegins. I learned this with a laugh one morning after delivering a calf. When it lifted up its fluffyhead and looked at me, its eyes held the absolute bewilderment of the newly born. A momentbefore it had the even black nowhere of the womb, and suddenly its world was full of colour,movement and noise. I’ve never seen anything so shocked to be alive.
“發(fā)現(xiàn)”一詞，字面上是指揭開(kāi)某種視線以外的隱藏的事物。不過(guò)其實(shí)是觀察者自身發(fā)生了變化。很少人能抗拒熟悉事物帶來(lái)的舒適，愿意擾亂這種舒適的人更少。然而，正如望遠(yuǎn)鏡、顯微鏡這些較為近期的發(fā)明所揭示給我們的，求知事物具有多種層次。每個(gè)事實(shí)都有地質(zhì)層次，沒(méi)有異端也就無(wú)所謂正統(tǒng)。新生兒睜開(kāi)雙眼的那一刻起，發(fā)現(xiàn)也就開(kāi)始了。我是在一天清晨給一頭小牛犢接生的時(shí)候突然意識(shí)到這一點(diǎn)的，不禁大笑。小牛仰起毛茸茸的腦袋看著我，目光中透出這個(gè)新生命對(duì)世界的一無(wú)所知。片刻這前，它還呆在母體里某個(gè)黑暗而平靜的地方，突然，它的世界變得五光十色，變得活潑而喧鬧。我從未見(jiàn)過(guò)任何東西在獲得生命時(shí)是如些的驚異。

If I Were A Boy Again 假如我又回到了童年
If I were a boy again, I would practice perseverance more often, and never give up a thingbecause it was or inconvenient. If we want light, we must conquer darkness. Perseverancecan sometimes equal genius in its results. “There are only two creatures,” syas a proverb, “who can surmount the pyramids — the eagle and the snail.” If I were a boy again, I wouldschool myself into a habit of attention; I would let nothing come between me and the subject inhand. I would remember that a good skater never tries to skate in two directions at once. Thehabit of attention becomes part of our life, if we begain early enough. I often hear grown uppeople say “ I could not fix my attention on the sermon or book, although I wished to do so” ,and the reason is, the habit was not formed in youth. If I were to live my life over again, I wouldpay more attention to the cultivation of the memory. I would strengthen that faculty by everypossible means, and on every possible occasion. It takes a little hard work at first to rememberthings accurately; but memory soon helps itself, and gives very little trouble. It only needsearly cultivation to become a power.
假如我又回到了童年，我做事要更有毅力，決不因?yàn)槭虑槠D難或者麻煩而撒手不干，我們要光明，就得征服黑暗。毅力在效果上有時(shí)能同天才相比。俗話說(shuō)：“能登上金字塔的生物，只有兩種——鷹和蝸牛。”假如我又回到了童年，我就要養(yǎng)成專心致志的習(xí)慣;有事在手，就決不讓任何東西讓我分心。我要牢記：優(yōu)秀的滑冰手從不試圖同時(shí)滑向兩個(gè)不同的方向。如果及早養(yǎng)成這種專心致志的習(xí)慣，它將成為我們生命的一部分。我常聽(tīng)成年人說(shuō)：“雖然我希望能集中注意聽(tīng)牧師講道或讀書，但往往做不到。”而原因就是年輕時(shí)沒(méi)有養(yǎng)成這種習(xí)慣。假如我現(xiàn)在能重新開(kāi)始我的生命，我就要更注意記憶力的培養(yǎng)。我要采取一切可能的辦法，并且在一切可能的場(chǎng)合，增強(qiáng)記憶力。要正確無(wú)誤地記住一些東西，在開(kāi)始階段的確要作出一番小小的努力;但要不了多久，記憶力本身就會(huì)起作用，使記憶成為輕而易舉的事，只需及早培養(yǎng)，記憶自會(huì)成為一種才能。
If I were a boy again, I would cultivate courage. “Nothing is so mild and gentle as courage,nothing so cruel and pitiless as cowardice,” syas a wise author. We too often borrow trouble,and anticipate that may never appear.” The fear of ill exceeds the ill we fear.” Dangers will arisein any career, but presence of mind will often conquer the worst of them. Be prepared for anyfate, and there is no harm to be freared. If I were a boy again, I would look on the cheerfulside. Life is very much like a mirror: if you smile upon it, I smiles back upon you; but if youfrown and look doubtful on it, you will get a similar look in return. Inner sunshine warms notonly the heart of the owner, but of all that come in contact with it. “ who shuts love out ,in turnshall be shut out from love.” If I were a boy again, I would school myself to say no more often. Imight write pages on the importance of learning very early in life to gain that point where ayoung boy can stand erect, and decline doing an unworthy act because it is unworthy. If Iwere a boy again, I would demand of myself more courtesy towards my companions andfriends, and indeed towards strangers as well. The smallest courtesies along the rough roadsof life are like the little birds that sing to us all winter long, and make that season of ice andsnow more endurable. Finally, instead of trying hard to be happy, as if that were the solepurpose of life, I would , if I were a boy again, I would still try harder to make others happy.
假如我又回到了童年，我就要培養(yǎng)勇氣。一位明智的作家曾說(shuō)過(guò)：“世上沒(méi)有東西比勇氣更溫文爾雅，也沒(méi)有東西比懦怯更殘酷無(wú)情。”我們常常過(guò)多地自尋煩惱，杞人憂天。“怕禍害比禍害本身更可怕。”凡事都有危險(xiǎn)，但鎮(zhèn)定沉著往往能克服最嚴(yán)重的危險(xiǎn)。對(duì)一切禍福做好準(zhǔn)備，那么就沒(méi)有什么災(zāi)難可以害怕的了。假如我又回到了童年，我就要事事樂(lè)觀。生活猶如一面鏡子：你朝它笑，它也朝你笑;如果你雙眉緊鎖，向它投以懷疑的目光，它也將還以你同樣的目光。內(nèi)心的歡樂(lè)不僅溫暖了歡樂(lè)者自己的心，也溫暖了所有與之接觸者的心。“誰(shuí)拒愛(ài)于門外，也必將被愛(ài)拒諸門外。”假如我又回到了童年，我就要養(yǎng)成經(jīng)常說(shuō)“不”字的習(xí)慣。一個(gè)少年要能挺得起腰，拒絕做不應(yīng)該做的事，就因?yàn)檫@事不值得做。我可以寫上好幾頁(yè)談?wù)勗缒昱囵B(yǎng)這一點(diǎn)的重要性。假如我又回到了童年，我就要要求自己對(duì)伙伴和朋友更加禮貌，而且對(duì)陌生人也應(yīng)如此。在坎坷的生活道路上，最細(xì)小的禮貌猶如在漫長(zhǎng)的冬天為我們歌唱的小鳥(niǎo)，那歌聲使冰天雪地的寒冬變得較易忍受。最后，假如我又回到了童年，我不會(huì)力圖為自己謀幸福，好像這就是人生唯一的目的;與之相反，我要更努力為他人謀幸福。

鄉(xiāng)村客棧一個(gè)陰雨的星期天
A Wet Sunday In A Country Inn
A wet Sunday in a country inn ! Whoever has had the luck to experience one(1) can alone judgeof(2) my situation. The rain pattered against the casements; the bells tolled for church with amelancholy sound. I went to the windows in quest of something to amuse the eye; but itseemed as if I had been placed completely out of the reach of ail amusement. The windows ofmy bed-room looked out(3) among tiled roofs and stacks of chimneys, while those of mysitting-room commanded a full view of(4) the stable yard. I know of nothing more calculatedto make a man sick of this world than a stable yard on a rainy day. The place was littered withwet straw that had been kicked about by travellers and stable-boys. In one corner was astagnant pool of water, surrounding an island of muck; there were several half-drowned fowlscrowded together under a cart, among which was a miserable, crest-fallen cock, drenched outof ail life and spirit; his drooping tail matted, as it were, into a single feather, along which thewater trickled from his hack; near the cart was a half- dozing cow, chewing her cud, andstanding patiently to be rained on, with wreaths of vapour(5) rising from her reeking
hide; a wall-eyed(6) horse, tired of the loneliness of the stable, was poking his spectral headout of a window, with the rain dripping on it from the eaves; an unhappy cur, chained to adog-house hard by, uttered something every now and then between a bark and a yelp; a drabof a kitchen wench(7) tramped backwards and forwards through the yard in pat- tens, lookingas sulky as the weather itself; everything, iq short, was comfortless and forlorn, excepting acrew of hardened ducks, assembled like boon companions round a puddle and making ariotous noise over their liquor.
鄉(xiāng)村客棧一個(gè)陰雨的星期天!凡有幸度過(guò)這樣一天的人，都能體會(huì)我現(xiàn)在的處境。雨點(diǎn)子噼噼啪啪地打在窗子上，教堂里傳來(lái)沉重的鐘聲，召喚人們?nèi)プ龆Y拜.我走到窗前，想找一些賞心悅目的東西，但看來(lái)我已完全被摒于一切歡樂(lè)之外.從臥室的窗口望出去，是一片磚瓦的屋頂和林立的煙囪，而從起居室的窗口往下看，則能望見(jiàn)整個(gè)馬廄院子。我覺(jué)得再電沒(méi)有比雨天的馬廄院子更令人厭舸的了.遍地是淋濕了的稻草，被 旅客和小馬倌們踢得凌亂不堪。在院子的一角，一潭污水圍著孤島似的糞堆，幾只幾平被雨水淋透的雞簇?fù)碓谝惠v馬車底下，其中一只可憐的公雞，倒垂著雞冠，被淋得沒(méi)精打彩，毫無(wú)生氣，它那耷拉著的尾巴粘結(jié)在一起，仿佛只成了一根羽毛，雨水順著它從背脊往下直淌，高馬車不遠(yuǎn)處.有一頭睡跟惺忪的奶牛，嘴里嚼著反芻的食物，默默地站在那里，任憑雨水打在身上，濕淋琳的背上日出繚繞的水氣;一匹眼珠小而眼白特大的馬厭倦了馬廄里的寂寞，把它那幽靈似的腦袋從窗口探了出來(lái)，屋檐上的雨水漓瀝滴瀝地落在它頭上;一只不幸的雜種狗被鏈條拴在近旁的狗窩里，時(shí)時(shí)發(fā)出似吠似嗥的聲音;一個(gè)邋遢廚娘拖著木屐，邁著沉重的步子在院子里進(jìn)進(jìn)出出，她那郁郁不樂(lè)的神色，就象陰沉的天氣一樣;總之，除了一群飽經(jīng)風(fēng)雨的鴨子，象飲酒作樂(lè)的朋友那樣聚集在污水潭的四周呷呷嬉水而外，這兒的一切都令人感到凄涼的沮喪。
