<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>靴声响到门口，那人走了进来。</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>The boots reached the door, and came on into the room.</seg></tuv>
|
||||
</tu>
|
||||
<tu>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>韦小宝从桌底下瞧出去，见那靴子不大，来人当是个和自己差不多年纪的男孩，当即放心，将烧饼放入口中，却也不敢咀嚼，只是用唾沫去浸湿烧饼，待浸软了吞咽。</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>Trinket peeped out from behind the table-cloth. From the size of his footwear, the new arrival seemed to be a boy like himself. He heaved a sigh of relief, and put the pancake in his mouth. He didn't dare to take a bite out of it, but softened it with his saliva, and then swallowed it silently down.</seg></tuv>
|
||||
</tu>
|
||||
<tu>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>只听得咀嚼之声发自桌边，那男孩在取糕点而食，韦小宝心想：“也是个偷食的，我大叫一声冲出去，这小鬼定会吓得逃走，我便可大嚼一顿了。”</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>Meanwhile he could hear noisy munching coming from the table above him. The new boy was clearly tucking in. 'Why, he's just another scavenger like me!' thought Trinket to himself. 'I'll jump out and scare him off, then I can carry on eating to my heart's content.'</seg></tuv>
|
||||
</tu>
|
||||
<tu>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>又想：“刚才真笨，该当把几碟点心倒在袋里便走。</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>His thoughts ran on: 'What a fool I was just now! I should have stuffed a whole plateful in my pocket and buggered off!</seg></tuv>
|

</tu>
|

<tu>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>这里又不是丽春院，难道短了什么，就定是把帐算在我头上？”</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>This isn't like home. They wouldn't miss a little thing like that, or expect me to pay for it!'</seg></tuv>
|
||||
</tu>
|
||||
<tu>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>忽听得砰砰声响，那男孩在敲击什么东西，韦小宝好奇心起，探头张望，只见那男孩约莫十四五岁年纪，身穿短打，伸拳击打梁上垂下来的一只布袋。</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>All of a sudden there was a series of noisy thumps. The new scavenger had started hitting something. His curiosity aroused, Trinket poked his head out from under the table. What he saw was a boy of fourteen or fifteen, in a short gown, punching at one of the bags that hung from the beam.</seg></tuv>
|
||||
</tu>
|
||||
<tu>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>他打了一会，又去击打墙边的皮人。</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>After a while, the boy moved across and started attacking one of the oxhide cut-outs.</seg></tuv>
|
||||
</tu>
|
||||
<tu>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>那男孩一拳打在皮人胸口，随即双臂伸出，抱住了皮人的腰，将之按倒在地，所用手法，便似昨日在酒馆中所见到那些摔交的满人一般。</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>He struck the figure first on the chest with one fist, then reached forward with both hands and grappled it by the waist, forcing it to the ground. It was very much the same sort of technique as the one used by the Manchu wrestlers in the inn the previous day.</seg></tuv>
|
||||
</tu>
|
||||
<tu>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>韦小宝哈哈一笑，从桌底钻了出来，说道：“皮人是死的，有什么好玩？</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>Trinket chuckled to himself and darted out from beneath the table. 'Why fight a dummy!' he cried.</seg></tuv>
|
||||
</tu>
|
||||
<tu>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>我来跟你玩。”</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>'Why not try me?'</seg></tuv>
|
||||
</tu>
|
||||
<tu>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>那男孩见他突然现身，脸上又缠了白布，微微一惊，但听他说来陪自己玩，登时脸现喜色，道：“好，你上来！”</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>The other boy's first reaction was one of alarm, at the sight of this strange apparition with its head swathed in bandages. But alarm quickly turned to delight when he realized that he had found a sparring partner. 'Very well!' he replied. 'On guard!'</seg></tuv>
|
||||
</tu>
|
||||
<tu>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>韦小宝扑将过去，便去扭男孩的双臂。 那男孩一侧身，右手一勾，韦小宝站立不住，立时倒了。</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>Trinket sprang forward and seized the boy's arms, intending to give him a sharp twist, but the boy turned smartly, and hooked him with his right foot, sending Trinket crashing to the floor.</seg></tuv>
|
||||
</tu>
|
||||
<tu>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>那男孩道：“呸，你不会摔交。 ”</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>'You're hopeless!' he jeered. 'You obviously don't know the first thing about wrestling!'</seg></tuv>
|
||||
</tu>
|
||||
<tu>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>韦小宝道：“谁说不会？” 跃起身来，去抱他左腿。</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>'Who says I don't!' protested Trinket, leaping to his feet again and reaching for the boy's left leg.</seg></tuv>
|
||||
</tu>
|
||||
<tu>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>那男孩伸手抓他后心，韦小宝一闪，那男孩便抓了个空。</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>The boy made a grab for his back, but this time Trinket dodged in time and the boy seized a handful of air.</seg></tuv>
|
||||
</tu>
|
||||
<tu>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>韦小宝记得茅十八在酒馆中与七名大汉相斗的手法，突然左手出拳，击向那男孩下颚，砰的一声，正好打中。</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>Trinket recalled Whiskers' fight with the seven wrestlers at the inn, and shot out a quick left that caught the boy hard, fair and square, on the lower cheek.</seg></tuv>
|
||||
</tu>
|
||||
<tu>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>那男孩一怔，眼中露出怒色。</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>The boy stood there stunned for a few seconds, and a momentary look of anger came into his eyes.</seg></tuv>
|
||||
</tu>
|
||||
<tu>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>韦小宝笑道：“呸，你不会摔交！”</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>'You're hopeless!' cried Trinket with a grin. 'You obviously don't know the first thing about wrestling.'</seg></tuv>
|
||||
</tu>
|
||||
<tu>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>那男孩一言不发，左手虚晃，韦小宝斜身避让，那男孩手肘斗出，正撞在他的腰里。</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>The boy said nothing, but feinted with his left fist. Trinket fell for it and dodged, and as he did so, the boy's elbow came crashing across into his midriff and winded him completely.</seg></tuv>
|
||||
</tu>
|
||||
<tu>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>韦小宝大叫一声，痛得蹲了下来。</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>He crumpled up and fell to the ground in excruciating pain.</seg></tuv>
|
||||
</tu>
|
||||
<tu>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>那男孩双手从他背后腋下穿上，十指互握，扣住了他后颈，将他上身越压越低。</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>The boy now came at Trinket from behind, slipped both hands under his arms and laced his hands together around his throat, throttling him, and pressing him harder and harder down on to the ground.</seg></tuv>
|
||||
</tu>
|
||||
<tu>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>韦小宝右足反踢。 那男孩双手猛推，将韦小宝身子送出，拍的一声，跌了个狗吃屎。</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>Trinket kicked frantically with his right foot, but then the boy loosed his hands and gave him a terrific shove which sent him rolling across the room like a puppy chasing its own tail.</seg></tuv>
|
||||
</tu>
|
||||
<tu>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>韦小宝大怒，翻滚过去，用力抱住了男孩的双腿，使劲拖拉，那男孩站立不住，倒了下来，正好压在韦小宝身上。</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>Trinket was furious. He came tumbling back, wrapped both arms round the boy's legs, and tugged at him with all his might. The boy crashed down right on top of him.</seg></tuv>
|
||||
</tu>
|
||||
<tu>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>这男孩身材比韦小宝高大，立即以手肘逼住韦小宝后颈。</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>He was quite a bit bigger than Trinket, and had soon succeeded in throttling him again and pinning him to the ground.</seg></tuv>
|
||||
</tu>
|
||||
<tu>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>韦小宝呼吸不畅，拼命伸足力撑，翻了几下，终于翻到了上面，反压在那男孩身上。</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>Trinket began to choke, thrashed out with his feet to extricate himself, and finally managed to wriggle on top of the boy and hold him down.</seg></tuv>
|
||||
</tu>
|
||||
<tu>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>只见他人小身轻压不住对方，又给那男孩翻了上来压住。</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>He was too light to maintain the upper hand for long, however, and soon the boy was back on top of him again.</seg></tuv>
|
||||
</tu>
|
||||
<tu>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>韦小宝极是滑溜，放开男孩双腿，钻到他身后，大力一脚踢中他屁股。 那男孩反手抓住他右腿使劲一扯，韦小宝仰面便倒。</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>Ever a crafty fighter, Trinket now let go of the boy's legs, got behind him, and landed him a good kick on the backside. The boy quickly grabbed his right leg and tugged at it, sending Trinket crashing down on his back.</seg></tuv>
|
||||
</tu>
|
||||
<tu>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>那男孩扑上去扠住他头颈，喝道：“投不投降？”</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>The boy leapt astride him, pinned his head to the floor, and cried: 'Well! Surrender?'</seg></tuv>
|
||||
</tu>
|
||||
<tu>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>韦小宝左足钩转，在那男孩腰间擦了几下，那男孩怕痒，嘻的一笑，手劲便即松了。</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>Trinket had meanwhile managed to hook his left foot round the boy's waist, and started to rub it up and down the small of his back. The boy, it transpired, was extremely ticklish, and he couldn't help giggling, and loosened his grasp.</seg></tuv>
|
||||
</tu>
|
||||
<tu>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>韦小宝乘机跃起，抱住他头颈。</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>Trinket seized his chance, leapt up, and pinned his opponent down by the throat.</seg></tuv>
|
||||
</tu>
|
||||
<tu>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>那男孩使出摔交手法，抓住了韦小宝后领，把他重重往地下一摔。</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>The boy now used a standard wrestling ploy, gripping Trinket by the back of the neck and pulling him to the ground with considerable force.</seg></tuv>
|
||||
</tu>
|
||||
<tu>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>韦小宝一阵晕眩，动弹不得。</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>Trinket went out like a light. When he regained consciousness, he found that he was temporarily immobilized.</seg></tuv>
|
||||
</tu>
|
||||
<tu>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>那男孩哈哈大笑，说道：“服了么？”</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>The boy burst out laughing. 'Well? Had enough? Give in?'</seg></tuv>
|
||||
</tu>
|
||||
<tu>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg></seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>But Trinket was not finished yet.</seg></tuv>
|
||||
</tu>
|
||||
<tu>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>韦小宝猛地跃起，一个头锤，正中对方小腹。</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>He eventually succeeded in jumping up and landing a head-butt right in the boy's midriff.</seg></tuv>
|
||||
</tu>
|
||||
<tu>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>那男孩哼了一声，倒退几步。</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>The boy groaned and staggered back a few steps.</seg></tuv>
|
||||
</tu>
|
||||
<tu>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>韦小宝冲将上去，那男孩身子微斜，横脚钩扫。</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>Trinket lunged after him, the boy leant a little to one side, put out a leg, and brought him tumbling to the floor.</seg></tuv>
|
||||
</tu>
|
||||
<tu>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>韦小宝摔将下来，狠命抱住了他大腿。 两人同时跌倒。</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>Trinket reached out frantically as he fell, clutching at the boy's legs, and the two of them went down together.</seg></tuv>
|
||||
</tu>
|
||||
<tu>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>一时那男孩翻在上面，一时韦小宝翻在上面，翻了十七八个滚，终于两人互相扭住，呼呼喘气，突然之间，两人不约而同的哈哈大笑，都觉如此扭打十分好玩，慢慢放开了手。</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>They struggled for a while, each one gaining the upper hand for a moment, then going under, ringing the changes more than a dozen times, until finally they were in a complete deadlock, panting and staring fixedly at each other. And then suddenly, at exactly the same moment, they both burst out laughing. There was something about the clinch they were in that struck them both as terribly funny. Slowly they let go.</seg></tuv>
|
||||
</tu>
|
||||
<tu>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>那男孩一伸手，扯开了韦小宝脸上的白布，笑道：“包住了头干么？”</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>The boy reached out a hand and began removing the bandages from Trinket's face. 'What did you want to wrap your face up for?'</seg></tuv>
|
||||
</tu>
|
||||
<tu>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>韦小宝吃了一惊，便欲伸手去夺，但想对方既已看到自己真面目，再加遮掩也是无用，笑道：“包住了脸，免得进来偷食时给人认了出来。”</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>Trinket was about to snatch the bandages back, when he reflected that the boy had already seen most of his face and that it would achieve nothing. 'I didn't want anyone to recognize me taking the cake.'</seg></tuv>
|
||||
</tu>
|
||||
<tu>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>那男孩站起身来，笑道：“好啊，原来你时时到这里偷食。”</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>'I see,' said the boy, chuckling and standing up. 'So you make a habit of coming here and taking food, do you?'</seg></tuv>
|
||||
</tu>
|
||||
<tu>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>韦小宝道：“时时倒也不见得。”</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>'No, I don't,' said Trinket.</seg></tuv>
|
||||
</tu>
|
||||
<tu>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>说着也站了起来，见那男孩眉清目秀，神情轩昂，对他颇有好感。</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>As he rose to his feet, he stole a closer glance at his opponent: there was something at once impressive and attractive about the boy's features, a clearness of brow, a noble look in the eyes, an expression in the face, that drew Trinket towards him.</seg></tuv>
|
||||
</tu>
|
||||
<tu>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>那男孩问道：“你叫什么名字？”</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>'What's your name?' asked the boy.</seg></tuv>
|
||||
</tu>
|
||||
<tu>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>韦小宝道：“我叫小桂子，你呢？”</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>'Laurel,' replied Trinket. 'And yours?'</seg></tuv>
|
||||
</tu>
|
||||
<tu>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>那男孩略一迟疑，道：“我叫…… 叫小玄子。</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>After a moment's hesitation the boy replied: 'Mine's . . . People call me Misty.</seg></tuv>
|
||||
</tu>
|
||||
<tu>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>你是哪个公公手下的？”</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>Which of the Goong-goongs do you work for?'</seg></tuv>
|
||||
</tu>
|
||||
<tu>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>韦小宝道：“我跟海老公。”</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>'I'm with Hai Goong-goong.'</seg></tuv>
|
||||
</tu>
|
||||
<tu>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>小玄子点了点头，就用韦小宝那块白布抹了抹额头汗水，拿起一块点心便吃。</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>Misty nodded, and used Trinket's bandages to mop the sweat from his brow. He helped himself to a cake.</seg></tuv>
|
||||
</tu>
|
||||
<tu>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>韦小宝不肯服输，心想你大胆偷食，我的胆子也不小于你，当即拿起一块千层糕，肆无忌惮的放入口中。</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>Trinket was not going to be outdone. If this young fellow could continue calmly scavenging, so could he. He popped another slice of layer cake nonchalantly into his mouth.</seg></tuv>
|
||||
</tu>
|
||||
<tu>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>小玄子笑了笑，道：“你没学过摔交，可是手脚挺灵活，我居然压你不住，再打几个回合，你便输了。”</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>'I can see you've never done any wrestling,' laughed Misty. 'But you're a quick mover all the same! You managed to get away that time. A few more goes and I'd have had you, though—'</seg></tuv>
|
||||
</tu>
|
||||
<tu>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>韦小宝道：“那也不见得，咱们再打一会试试。”</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>'Is that right?' protested Trinket. 'Come on then: let's see—'</seg></tuv>
|
||||
</tu>
|
||||
<tu>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>小玄子道：“很好！”</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>'At you!'</seg></tuv>
|
||||
</tu>
|
||||
<tu>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>两人又扭打起来。</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>The two of them set to again.</seg></tuv>
|
||||
</tu>
|
||||
<tu>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>小玄子似乎会一些摔交之技，年纪和力气又都大过韦小宝，不过韦小宝在扬州市井间身经百战，与大流氓、小无赖也不知打过了多少场架，扭打的经验远比小玄子丰富。</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>Misty clearly knew a few wrestling moves, and was the older and stronger of the two. But Trinket had the benefit of years of experience in the streets of Yangzhou, where he'd had to deal with all manner of bullies and thugs, big and small, and in this respect he was definitely Misty's superior.</seg></tuv>
|
||||
</tu>
|
||||
<tu>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>总算他记得茅十八的教训，而与小玄子的扭打只是游戏，并非拼命，什么拗手指、拉辫子、咬咽喉、抓眼珠、扯耳朵、捏阴囊等等拿手的成名绝技，倒也一项没使。</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>But for one reason or another (partly Whiskers' lecture, partly because this was, after all, only 'play-fighting' and not in deadly earnest) he didn't avail himself of a single one of the dubious tricks at which he excelled: the finger-twist, the pigtail-pull, the throat-bite, the eye-poke, the ear-yank, the grip-o'-the-balls.</seg></tuv>
|
||||
</tu>
|
||||
<tu>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>这么一来，那就难以取胜，扭打几回合，韦小宝终于给他骑在背上，再也翻不了身。</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>As a result he eventually came off the loser again, with Misty sitting on his back, and no hope of throwing him off.</seg></tuv>

<tu>

<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>海老公听出他言语中的喜悦之意，问道：“有什么开心？”</seg></tuv>

<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>Trinket sounded very pleased with himself. 'What are you so happy about?' snapped the old eunuch.</seg></tuv>

<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>原来他听海老公说要他到上书房去“偷书”，“偷”是绝不困难，“书”却难倒了人。</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>In actual fact, when Old Hai had spoken of stealing a book, Trinket's heart had sunk. The 'stealing' part was no problem; it was the 'book' part that presented what seemed at first like an insurmountable obstacle. The trouble was that Trinket could barely read.</seg></tuv>

</tu>

<tu>
|

<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>他西瓜大的字识不了一担，要分辨什么书，可真杀了头也办不到，待得听说书名叫做《四十二章经》， 不由得心花怒放， “章经”是什么东西不得而知，“四十二”三字却是识得的，五个字中居然识得三个，不禁大为得意。</seg></tuv>
|

<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>He couldn't decipher more than a word or two, let alone book titles. Then he heard the eunuch say that the book was the Sutra in Forty-Two Sections, and his heart leapt: what the word Sutra looked like he had not the foggiest notion, but numbers were something he could read. So the second part of the title was a walk-over! Wasn't that sufficient reason to be pleased?</seg></tuv>

</tu>

<tu>

<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>海老公又道：“在上书房中偷书，手脚可得干净利落，假如让人瞧见了，你便有一百条性命也不在了。”</seg></tuv>

<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>'Now,' went on Old Hai, 'if you go stealing books from the Upper Library, you've got to be very smart, very careful. If anyone spots you, you're as good as dead. A hundred times over.'</seg></tuv>

<tu>

<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>When he had finished eating, he went through the motions of practising with the dice so as not to arouse the old eunuch's suspicions, throwing them noisily across the table.

<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>Trinket took advantage of the fact that Misty was busy speaking and momentarily off his guard, to launch a counter-attack.

<tu>

<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>Trinket lunged back, but it was a feint: Misty stepped aside, let Trinket surge on, and chopped him on the back with the side of his hand. Trinket was unable to rein himself in, and went crashing to the ground.</seg></tuv>

</tu>

<tu>

<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>Misty gave a cry of pain and bent double. Trinket leapt on him from behind and gripped him tightly round the throat with both his hands.</seg></tuv>

<tu>

<tu>

<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>Misty spun round and sat astride his chest, once more the victor, though this time a winded and exhausted one, panting for breath. 'Do . . . you . . . give in?'</seg></tuv>

<tu>

<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>韦小宝道：“服个屁！</seg></tuv>

<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>Grannie Liu followed her cackling. 'You know what they say: "Important people have short memories." I wouldn't expect you to remember the likes of us!'</seg></tuv>

<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>'Well, of course, first and foremost we came to see you,' replied Grannie Liu mendaciously, 'but we were also hoping to pay our respects to Her Ladyship.</seg></tuv>

<tu>

|

<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>From the tone of this reply Zhou Rui's wife was already able to make a pretty good guess as to the real purpose of the old woman's visit; but because some years previously her husband had received a lot of help from Gou-er's father in a dispute over the purchase of some land, she could not very well reject Grannie Liu now, when she came to her as a suppliant.</seg></tuv>

<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>Patience, who was standing by the edge of the kang, made a rapid assessment of Grannie Liu and judged it sufficient to greet her with a civil 'how-do-you-do' and an invitation to be seated.</seg></tuv>
|
||||
</tu>
|
||||
<tu>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>刘老老见平儿遍身绫罗，插金戴银，花容月貌，便当是凤姐儿了，才要称“姑奶奶”，只见周瑞家的说：“他是平姑娘。”</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>Grannie Liu looked at the silks and satins in which Patience was dressed, the gold and silver ornaments in her hair, her beauty of feature which in every respect corresponded with what she had been told of Wang Xi-feng, and taking the maid for the mistress, was on the point of greeting her as 'Gou-er's aunt', when Zhou Rui's wife introduced her as' Miss Patience'.</seg></tuv>
|
||||
</tu>
|
||||
<tu>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>又见平儿赶着周瑞家的叫他“周大娘”，方知不过是个有体面的丫头。</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>Then, when Patience shortly afterwards addressed Zhou Rui's wife as 'Mrs Zhou', she knew that this was no mistress but a very high-class maid.</seg></tuv>
|
||||
</tu>
|
||||
<tu>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>于是让刘老老和板儿上了炕，平儿和周瑞家的对面坐在炕沿上，小丫头们倒了茶来吃了。</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>So Grannie Liu and Ban-er got up on the kang at one side, while Patience and Zhou Rui's wife sat near the edge of it on the other, and a little maid came in and poured them all some tea.</seg></tuv>
|
||||
</tu>
|
||||
<tu>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>刘老老只听见咯当咯当的响声，很似打罗筛面的一般，不免东瞧西望的，忽见堂屋中柱子上挂着一个匣子，底下又坠着一个秤铊似的，却不住的乱晃。</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>Grannie Liu's attention was distracted by a persistent tock tock tock tock not unlike the sound made by a flour-bolting machine, and she could not forbear glancing round her from time to time to see where it came from. Presently she caught sight of a sort of boxlike object fastened to one of the central pillars of the room, and a thing like the weight of a steelyard hanging down from it, which swung to and fro in ceaseless motion and appeared to be the source of the noise which had distracted her.</seg></tuv>
|
||||
</tu>
|
||||
<tu>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>刘老老心中想着：“这是什么东西? 有煞用处呢？”</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>'I wonder what that can be,' she thought to herself, 'and what it can be used for?'</seg></tuv>
|
||||
</tu>
|
||||
<tu>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>正发呆时，陡听得“当”的一声又若金钟铜磬一般，倒吓得不住的展眼儿。</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>As she studied the strange box, it suddenly gave forth a loud dong! like the sound of a bronze bell or a copper chime, which so startled the old lady that her eyes nearly popped out of her head.</seg></tuv>
|
||||
</tu>
|
||||
<tu>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>接着一连又是八九下，欲待问时，只见小丫头们一齐乱跑，说：“奶奶下来了。”</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>The dong! was followed in rapid succession by eight or nine others, and Grannie Liu was on the point of asking what it meant, when all the maids in the house began scurrying about shouting, 'The mistress! The mistress!</seg></tuv>
|
||||
</tu>
|
||||
<tu>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>平儿和周瑞家的忙起身说：“老老只管坐着，等是时候儿我们来请你。” 说着迎出去了。</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>She'll be coming out now!' and Patience and Zhou Rui's wife hurriedly rose to their feet. 'Just stay here, Grannie,' they said. 'When it is time for you to see her, we shall come in and fetch you'; and they went off with the other servants to greet their mistress.</seg></tuv>
|
||||
</tu>
|
||||
<tu>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>刘老老只屏声侧耳默候， 只听远远有人笑声，约有一二十个妇人，衣裙窸窣，渐入堂屋，往那边屋内去了。</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>As Grannie Liu sat in silence, waiting with bated breath and head cocked to one side for her summons, she heard a far-off sound of laughter, followed presently by a sound of rustling dresses as between ten and twenty women entered the reception room and passed from it into the room beyond.</seg></tuv>
|
||||
</tu>
|
||||
<tu>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>又见三两个妇人，都捧着大红油漆盒进这边来等候。</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>Then two or three women bearing large red lacquer boxes took up their positions on the side nearest the room in which she sat and stood there waiting to be called.</seg></tuv>
|
||||
</tu>
|
||||
<tu>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>听得那边说道“摆饭”，渐渐的人才散出去，只有伺候端菜的几个人。</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>A voice in the far room called out,' Serve now, please!' at which, to judge from the noises, most of the women scuttled off, leaving only the few who were waiting at table.</seg></tuv>
|
||||
</tu>
|
||||
<tu>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>半日鸦雀不闻。 忽见两个人抬了一张炕桌来，放在这边炕上，桌上碗盘摆列，仍是满满的鱼肉，不过略动了几样。</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>A long silence ensued in which not so much as a cheep could be heard; then two women came in bearing a small, low table which they set down on the kang. It was covered with bowls and dishes containing all kinds of meat and fish, only one or two of which appeared to have been touched.</seg></tuv>
|
||||
</tu>
|
||||
<tu>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>板儿一见就吵着要肉吃，刘老老打了他一巴掌。</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>At the sight of it Ban-er set up a clamour for some meat and was silenced by Grannie Liu with a resounding slap.</seg></tuv>
|
||||
</tu>
|
||||
<tu>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>忽见周瑞家的笑嘻嘻走过来，点手儿叫他。</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>Just at that moment Zhou Rui's wife appeared, her face all wreathed in smiles, and advanced towards Grannie Liu beckoning.</seg></tuv>
|
||||
</tu>
|
||||
<tu>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>刘老老会意，于是带着板儿下炕，至堂屋中间，周瑞家的又和他咕唧了一会子，方蹭到这边屋内。</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>Grannie Liu slipped off the kang, lifted down Ban-er, and exchanged a few hurried whispers with her in the reception room before waddling into the room beyond.</seg></tuv>
|
||||
</tu>
|
||||
<tu>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>只见门外铜钩上悬着大红洒花软帘，南窗下是炕，炕上大红条毡，靠东边板壁立着一个锁子锦的靠背和一个引枕，铺着金线闪的大坐褥，傍边有银唾盒。</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>A dark-red patterned curtain hung from brass hooks over the doorway. Inside, under the window in the south wall, there was a kang covered with a dark-red carpet. At the east end of the kang, up against the wooden partition wall, were a backrest and bolster, both covered in gold brocade, and a large flat cushion for sitting on, also glittering with gold thread.</seg></tuv>

|

<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>Beside them stood a silver spittoon. Wang Xi-feng had on a little cap of red sable, which she wore about the house for warmth, fastened on with a pearl-studded bandeau. She was dressed in a sprigged peach-pink gown, with an ermine-lined skirt of dark-red foreign crepe underneath it, and a cloak of slate-blue silk with woven coloured insets and lining of grey squirrel around her shoulders. Her face was exquisitely made-up.</seg></tuv>

</tu>

<tu>

<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>粉光脂艳，端端正正坐在那里，手内拿着小铜火箸儿拨手炉内的灰。 平儿站在炕沿边，捧着小小的一个填漆茶盘，盘内一个小盖钟儿。</seg></tuv>
|

<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>She was sitting on the edge of the kang, her back straight as a ramrod, with a diminutive pair of tongs in her hand, removing the spent charcoal from a portable hand-warmer. Patience stood beside her carrying a covered teacup on a tiny inlaid lacquer tray.</seg></tuv>
|

</tu>
|

<tu>
|

<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>凤姐也不接茶，也不抬头，只管拨那灰，慢慢的道：“怎么还不请进来？”</seg></tuv>
|

<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>Xi-feng appeared not to have noticed her, for she neither reached out for the cup nor raised her head, but continued picking ab-sorbedly at her hand-warmer. At last she spoke: 'Why not ask them in, then?'</seg></tuv>
|

</tu>
|

<tu>
|

<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>一面说，一面抬身要茶时，只见周瑞家的已带了两个人立在面前了，这才忙欲起身、犹未起身，满面春风的问好，又嗔着周瑞家的：“怎么不早说！”</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>As she did so, she raised her head and saw Zhou Rui's wife with her two charges already standing in front of her. She made a confused movement as if to rise to her feet, welcomed the old lady with a look of unutterable benevolence, and almost in the same breath said rather crossly to Zhou Rui's wife, 'Why didn't you tell me?'</seg></tuv>
|

</tu>
|

<tu>
|

<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>刘老老已在地下拜了几拜，问姑奶奶安。</seg></tuv>

<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>By this time Grannie Liu was already down on her knees and had touched her head several times to the floor in reverence to her 'Aunt Feng'.</seg></tuv>

<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>刘老老忙念佛道：“我们家道艰难，走不起。</seg></tuv>

</tu>

<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>凤姐早已明白了，听他不会说话，因笑道：“不必说了，我知道了。”</seg></tuv>

<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>It was abundantly clear to Xi-feng that the old lady was too embarrassed to go on, and she put her out of her misery with a gracious smile. 'It's quite all right. There is no need to tell me. I quite understand.'</seg></tuv>

</tu>

<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>凤姐便命快传饭来。 一时周瑞家的传了一桌客馔，摆在东屋里，过来带了刘老老和板儿过去吃饭。</seg></tuv>

<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>Xi-feng gave orders for a meal to be brought in, and Zhou Rui's wife went out and presently reappeared with a guest's portion of various choice dishes on a little table, which she set down in the east wing, and to which she then conducted Grannie Liu and Ban-er for their meal.</seg></tuv>

</tu>

</tu>

<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>一面又叫过周瑞家的来问道：“方才回了太太，太太怎么说了？”</seg></tuv>

<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>Then calling her aside for a moment she asked, 'What did Her Ladyship say when you went to report about them just now?'</seg></tuv>

</tu>

<tu>
|

<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>周瑞家的道：“太太说：‘他们原不是一家子； 当年他们的祖和太老爷在一处做官，因连了宗的。</seg></tuv>

<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>'She said they don't really belong to the family but were adopted into the clan years ago when your grandfather and theirs were working in the same office.</seg></tuv>

<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>这几年不大走动。 当时他们来了，却也从没空过的。</seg></tuv>

<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>She said they haven't been round much of late years, but in the old days when they used to visit us we never sent them back empty-handed.</seg></tuv>

<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>要有什么话，叫二奶奶裁夺着就是了。’”</seg></tuv>

<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>凤姐听了说道：“怪道既是一家子，我怎么连影儿也不知道！”</seg></tuv>

<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>'No wonder!' exclaimed Xi-feng when she had heard this account. 'I couldn't understand how they could be really related to us if I had never even heard of them.'</seg></tuv>

</tu>

<tu>
|

<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>说话间，刘老老已吃完了饭，拉了板儿过来，舔唇咂嘴的道谢。</seg></tuv>

<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>While they were talking, Grannie Liu came back from the other room having already finished eating, smacking her lips and sucking her teeth appreciatively, and voicing her thanks for the repast.</seg></tuv>

</tu>

<tu>

<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>凤姐笑道：“且请坐下，听我告诉你：方才你的意思，我已经知道了。</seg></tuv>

<tu>

<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>论起亲戚来，原该不等上门就有照应才是； 但只如今家里事情太多，太太上了年纪，一时想不到是有的。</seg></tuv>

<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>As we are relations, we ought by rights not to wait for you to come to our door before helping you when you are in trouble; but there are so many things to attend to in this family, and now that Her Ladyship is getting on a bit she doesn't always remember them all.</seg></tuv>

</tu>

<tu>
|

<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>我如今接着管事，这些亲戚们又都不大知道，况且外面看着虽是烈烈轰轰，不知大有大的难处，说给人也未必信。</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>And since I took over the management of the household, I find there are quite a lot of relations that I don't even know about. And then again, of course, though we may look thriving enough from the outside, people don't realize that being a big establishment like ours carries its own difficulties. They won't believe it if you tell them, but it's true.</seg></tuv>

<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>However, since you have come such a long way, and since this is the first time you have ever said a word about needing help, we obviously can't let you go back empty-handed.</seg></tuv>

<tu>

<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>可巧昨儿太太给我的丫头们作衣裳的二十两银子还没动呢，你不嫌少，先拿了去用罢。”</seg></tuv>

<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>Fortunately it so happens that I still haven't touched any of the twenty taels of silver that Her Ladyship gave me the other day to make clothes for the maids with. If you don't mind it being so little, you are very welcome to take it.'</seg></tuv>

</tu>

<tu>

<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>那刘老老先听见告艰苦，只当是没想头了， 又听见给他二十两银子，喜的眉开眼笑道：“我们也知道艰难的，但只俗语说的：‘瘦死的骆驼比马还大’呢。</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>When Grannie Liu heard Xi-feng talk about 'difficulties' she concluded that there was no hope. Her delight and the way in which her face lit up with pleasure when she heard that she was, after all, to be given twenty taels of silver can be imagined. 'We knew you had your troubles,' she said, 'but as the saying goes, "A starved camel is bigger than a fat horse."</seg></tuv>

<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>周瑞家的在旁听见他说的粗鄙，只管使眼色止他。</seg></tuv>

<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>Horrified by the crudity of these expressions, Zhou Rui's wife, who was standing by, was meanwhile signalling frantically to the old lady to stop.</seg></tuv>

</tu>

<tu>

<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>凤姐笑而不睬，叫平儿把昨儿那包银子拿来，再拿一串钱，都送至刘老老跟前。</seg></tuv>
|

<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>But Xi-feng laughed quite unconcernedly and told Patience to wrap up the silver and also to fetch a string of cash to go with it. The money was set down in front of Grannie Liu.</seg></tuv>
|

</tu>
|

<tu>
|

<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>凤姐道：“这是二十两银子，暂且给这孩子们作件冬衣罢。</seg></tuv>

</tu>

<tu>

<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>一面说，一面就站起来了。 刘老老只是千恩万谢的，拿了银钱，跟着周瑞家的走到外边。</seg></tuv>

<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>She rose to her feet, and Grannie Liu, with heartfelt expressions of gratitude, picked up the money and followed Zhou Rui's wife out of the room.</seg></tuv>

<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>周瑞家的道：“我的娘!</seg></tuv>

<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>吴佩珍是那类粗心的女孩子。</seg></tuv>

<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>Wu Peizhen was a rather careless girl.</seg></tuv>

</tu>
|

<tu>
|

<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>她本应当为自己的丑自卑的，但因为家境不错，有人疼爱，养成了豁朗单纯的个性，使这自卑变成了谦虚，这谦虚里是很有一些实事求是的精神的。</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>Under normal circumstances, she would have suffered from low self-esteem because of her homeliness, but because Peizhen came from a well-to-do family and people always doted on her, she had developed unaffected into an outgoing young lady. What would have been poor self-esteem was replaced by a kind of modesty—modesty ruled by a practical spirit.</seg></tuv>
|

</tu>
|

<tu>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>由这谦虚出发，她就总无意地放大别人的优点，很忠实地崇拜，随时准备奉献她的热诚。</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>In her modesty, she tended to exaggerate other people's strengths, place them on a pedestal, and offer them her devotion.</seg></tuv>

</tu>

<tu>
|

<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>王琦瑶无须提防她有妒忌之心，也无须对她有妒忌之心，相反，她还对她怀有一些同情，因为她的丑。</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>Wang Qiyao never had to worry about Wu Peizhen being jealous of her—and she certainly had no reason to be jealous of Wu Peizhen. On the contrary, she even felt a bit bad for Wu Peizhen—because she was so ugly.</seg></tuv>

</tu>

<tu>

<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>这同情使王琦瑶变得慷慨了，自然这慷慨是只对吴佩珍一个人的。</seg></tuv>

<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>吴佩珍的粗心其实只是不在乎，王琦瑶的宽待她是心领的，于是加倍地要待她好，报恩似的。</seg></tuv>

<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>Wu Peizhen's carelessness was the function of an uncalculating mind. She appreciated Wang Qiyao's magnanimity and tried even harder to please her as though repaying her kindness.</seg></tuv>

<tu>

</tu>

<tu>

<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>好在吴佩珍是压得起的，她的人生任务不如王琦瑶来得重，有一点吃老本，也有一点不计较，本是一身轻，也是为王琦瑶分担的意思。</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>It was a good thing that Wu Peizhen could take it; after all, the weight of everyday living did not rest as heavily on her. This was partly because she had plenty of psychic capital to draw on, but also because she simply did not mind. Things came easy to her and she was willing to bear more than her share.</seg></tuv>

<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>Girls like Wu Peizhen who had all of their needs taken care of seldom wallowed in dreams; moreover, as the only girl in a house full of boys, she grew up playing boys' games and never learned the social skills and canniness most girls picked up.</seg></tuv>

<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>她是将片厂当作一件礼物一样献给王琦瑶的。</seg></tuv>

</tu>
|

<tu>
|

<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>她很有心机的，将一切都安排妥了，日子也定下了，才去告诉王琦瑶。 不料王琦瑶却还有些勉强，说她这一天正好有事，只能向她表哥抱歉了。</seg></tuv>

<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>She arranged everything carefully, only informing Wang Qiyao after she had already set a date, and was surprised when Wang Qiyao greeted the news with apparent indifference, claiming a prior engagement.</seg></tuv>

</tu>

<tu>

<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>吴佩珍于是就一个劲儿地向王琦瑶介绍片厂的有趣，将表哥平日里吹嘘的那些事迹都搬过来，再加上自己的想象。</seg></tuv>

<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>This compelled Wu Peizhen to try to change Wang Qiyao's mind by exaggerating the glamour of the film studio, combining stories her cousin bragged about with others from her own imagination.</seg></tuv>

</tu>

<tu>

<tu>

<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>等王琦瑶最终拗不过她，答应换个日子再去的时候，吴佩珍便像又受了一次恩，欢天喜地去找表哥改日子。</seg></tuv>

<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>By the time Wang Qiyao finally gave in and agreed to go some other time, Wu Peizhen was acting as if yet another gift that she herself had to be thankful for had been bestowed upon her, and she ecstatically scurried off to find her cousin to change the date.</seg></tuv>
|
||||
</tu>
|
||||
<tu>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>其实这一天王琦瑶并非有事，也并非对片厂没兴趣，这只是她做人的方式，越是有吸引力的事就越要保持矜持的态度，是自我保护的意思，还是欲擒故纵的意思？</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>Wang Qiyao did not, in fact, have any prior engagement, nor was she as reluctant as she appeared; this was simply the way she conducted herself—the more interested she was in something, the more she held back. This was her means of protecting herself—or then again, was it part of a strategy of disarming an antagonist by pretending to set her free?</seg></tuv>

<tu>

<tu>

<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>这表哥是她舅舅家的孩子。</seg></tuv>

<tu>

<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>舅舅是个败家子，把杭州城里一爿茧行吃空卖空，就离家出走，也不知去了什么地方。 她母亲平素最怕这门亲戚，上门不是要钱就是要粮，也给过几句难听话，还给过几次钉子碰，后来就渐渐不来了，断了关系。</seg></tuv>
|

<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>This uncle was the black sheep of the family. He had driven a silk shop in Hangzhou into the ground and Wu Peizhen's mother had dreaded his visits because all he ever wanted from her was money or grain. After she gave him some heavy doses of harsh words and turned him away empty-handed several times, he gradually stopped coming around and eventually broke off all relations.</seg></tuv>

<tu>

<tu>

<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>All of a sudden, the lights in the room lit up like a dozen rising suns, blinding them. After their eyes adjusted they made out a portion of the warehouse-like room that had been arranged to look like one half of a bedroom.</seg></tuv>

<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>The comforter showed signs of wear, old cigarette butts were left in the ashtray, even the handkerchief on the nightstand beside the bed had been used, crumpled up into a ball—as if someone had removed a wall in a home where real people were living to display what went on within.</seg></tuv>

<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>因她们站得远，听不见那里在说什么，只见有一个穿睡袍的女人躺在床上，躺了几种姿势，一回是侧身，一回是仰天，还有一回只躺了半个身子，另半个身子垂到地上的。 她的半透明的睡袍裹着身子，床已经皱了，也是有点起腻的。</seg></tuv>

<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>All they could see was a woman in a sheer nightgown lying on a bed with wrinkled sheets. She tried to lie in several different positions; on her side one moment, on her back the next, and for a while even in a strange position where half her body extended off the bed onto the floor. All this became somewhat boring.</seg></tuv>

<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>The sleepy-eyed planetarium staffer was waiting by the door for Wang. He handed him a small suitcase and said, "There are five pairs of 3K glasses in here, all fully charged. The left button switches it on. The right dial is for adjusting brightness.</seg></tuv>

</tu>

<tu>

<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>这个沙博士，真是个神经病。”</seg></tuv>

<tu>

<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>说完转身走进昏暗的馆内。</seg></tuv>

<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>He went into the dim interior of the planetarium.</seg></tuv>

</tu>

<tu>
|

<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>汪淼将箱子放到车座上打开，拿出一副3K眼镜，这东西很像他刚用过的V装具中的头盔显示器。</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>Wang opened the suitcase on the backseat of his car and took out a pair of 3K glasses. It resembled the display inside the panoramic viewing helmet of the V-suit. He put the glasses on and looked around.</seg></tuv>

</tu>
|

<tu>
|

<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>他拿起一副走到车外戴上，透过镜片看到的城市夜景没有变化，只是暗了些，这时他才想起要将开关打开，立刻，城市化作一团团朦胧的光晕，大部分亮度固定，还有一些闪烁或移动着。</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>The city looked the same as before, only dimmer. Then he remembered that he had to switch them on. The city turned into many hazy glowing halos. Most were fixed, but a few flickered or moved.</seg></tuv>

</tu>
|

<tu>
|

<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>他知道，这都是被转化为可见光的厘米微波，每团光晕的中心就是一个发射源，由于波长的原因，不可能看清形状。</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>He realized that these were sources of radiation in the centimeter range, all now converted to visible light. At the heart of each halo was a radiation source. Because the original wavelengths were so long, it was impossible to see their shapes clearly.</seg></tuv>
|

</tu>
|
||||
<tu>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>他抬起头，看到了一个发着暗红色微光的天空，就这样，他看到了宇宙背景辐射，这红光来自于一百多亿年前，是大爆炸的延续，是创世纪的余温。</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>He lifted his head and saw a sky glowing with a faint red light. Just like that, he was seeing the cosmic microwave background. The red light had come from more than ten billion years ago. It was the remnants of the big bang, the still-warm embers of Creation.</seg></tuv>
|

</tu>
|

<tu>

<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>看不到星星，本来，由于可见光波段已被推至不可见，星星应该是一个个黑点，但厘米波的衍射淹没了一切形状和细节。</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>He could not see any stars. Normally, since visible light would be compressed to invisible by the glasses, each star should appear as a black dot. But the diffraction of centimeter-wave radiation overwhelmed all other shapes and details.</seg></tuv>
|
||||
</tu>
|
||||
<tu>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>当汪淼的眼睛适应了这一切后，他看到了天空的红光背景在微微闪动，整个太空成一个整体在同步闪烁，仿佛整个宇宙只是一盏风中的孤灯。</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>Once his eyes had grown used to the sight, Wang could see that the faint red background was indeed pulsing. The entire sky flickered, as if the universe was but a quivering lamp in the wind.</seg></tuv>

</tu>
|
||||
<tu>
|

<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>站在这闪烁的苍穹下，汗淼突然感到宇宙是这么小，小得仅将他一人禁锢于其中。</seg></tuv>

<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>Standing under the flashing dome of the night sky, Wang suddenly felt the universe shrink until it was so small that only he was imprisoned in it.</seg></tuv>
|

</tu>
|
||||
<tu>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>宇宙是一个狭小的心脏或子宫，这弥漫的红光是充满于其中的半透明的血夜，他悬浮于血液中，红光的闪烁周期是不规则的，像是这心脏或子宫不规则地脉动，他从中感受到了一个以人类的智慧永远无法理解的怪异、变态的巨大存在。</seg></tuv>
|
||||
<tuv xml:lang="en-US"><seg>The universe was a cramped heart, and the red light that suffused everything was the translucent blood that filled the organ. Suspended in the blood, he saw that the flickering of the red light was not periodic—the pulsing was irregular. He felt a strange, perverse, immense presence that could never be understood by human intellect.</seg></tuv>

<tu>

<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>汪淼摘下3K眼镜，虚弱地靠着车轮坐在地上。</seg></tuv>

<tu>

<tu>

<tuv xml:lang="zh-CN"><seg>他努力地破译着，感受着幽灵倒计时的流逝。</seg></tuv>
