雙語(yǔ)美文:寫(xiě)給忠誠(chéng)的狗狗們
A Tribute to the Dog
寫(xiě)給忠誠(chéng)的狗
The best friend a man has in the world may turn against him and become his enemy. His son or daughter that he has reared with loving care may prove ungrateful. Those who are nearest and dearest to us, those whom we trust with our happiness and our good name may become traitors to their faith.
一個(gè)人在世上最好的朋友會(huì)和他反目,成為他的敵人。他悉心養(yǎng)育的兒女會(huì)不忠不孝。那些和我們最親近的人,那些我們以幸福和美名信賴(lài)的人會(huì)背信棄義。
The money that a man has, he may lose. It flies away from him, perhaps when he needs it most. A man's reputation may be sacrificed in a moment of ill-considered action. The people who are prone to fall on their knees to do us honor when success is with us, may be the first to throw the stone of malice when failure settles its cloud upon our heads.
一個(gè)人擁有的金錢(qián)會(huì)失去,也許就在他最需要的時(shí)候。一個(gè)人的名譽(yù)會(huì)因瞬間的不當(dāng)之舉而喪失貽盡。那些當(dāng)我們功成名就時(shí)跪拜向我們致敬的人也許是第一個(gè)在失敗的陰云籠罩我們時(shí)對(duì)我們投石下井。
The one absolutely unselfish friend that man can have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him, the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous is his dog. A man's dog stands by him in prosperity and in poverty, in health and in sickness. He will sleep on the cold ground, where the wintry winds blow and the snow drives fiercely, if only he may be near his master's side. He will kiss the hand that has no food to offer.
在這個(gè)自私的世界里,一個(gè)人能有的最無(wú)私的,從不拋棄他,從不知恩不報(bào),從不背信棄義的朋友是他的狗。無(wú)論富有或貧窮,無(wú)論健康或是患病,一個(gè)人的狗總佇立在主人身旁。如果能和主人在一起,它愿意睡在冰冷的地上,任憑寒風(fēng)凜冽,朔雪飄零。它愿意親吻沒(méi)有食物奉送的手。
He will lick the wounds and sores that come in encounters with the roughness of the world. He guards the sleep of his pauper master as if he were a prince. When all other friends desert, he remains. When riches take wings, and reputation falls to pieces, he is as constant in his love as the sun in its journey through the heavens. If fortune drives the master forth, an outcast in the world, friendless and homeless, the faithful dog asks no higher privilege than that of accompanying him, to guard him against danger, to fight against his enemies.
它愿意舔撫艱難人世帶來(lái)的創(chuàng)痕。它守衛(wèi)著窮主人安睡如同守衛(wèi)王子。當(dāng)所有的朋友離去,它留駐。當(dāng)財(cái)富不翼而飛,當(dāng)名譽(yù)毀之貽盡,它仍然熱愛(ài)著主人,如日當(dāng)空,亙古不變。如果在命運(yùn)驅(qū)使下,主人被世人拋棄,眾叛親離,無(wú)家可歸,忠誠(chéng)的狗僅僅要求能陪伴主人,守衛(wèi)他免遭危險(xiǎn),去和他的敵人搏斗。
And when the last scene of all comes, and death takes his master in its embrace and his body is laid away in the cold ground, no matter if all other friends pursue their way, there by the graveside will the noble dog be found, his head between his paws, his eyes sad, but open in alert watchfulness, faithful and true even in death.
當(dāng)最后的時(shí)刻來(lái)臨,死神擁抱著主人,他的驅(qū)體掩埋在冰冷的黃土之下,任憑所有的朋友風(fēng)流云散,就在墓地旁,你可以看見(jiàn)那高尚的狗,它的頭伏在兩爪之間,雙眼神情悲傷,卻警覺(jué)注視著,忠誠(chéng)至死。
