今日故事

《黃面人》(The Yellow Face)收錄於短篇小說集《回憶錄》(The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes),系第二篇。

選段(一)

Where he failed it happened too often that no one else succeeded, and that the tale was left forever without a conclusion.

譯文(一)

凡是福爾摩斯遭到失敗之處,別人也不會成功,而故事也就永遠沒有結局了。(李家雲/譯)

筆記

兩個表達,一個霸氣側漏——「凡我失敗之處,世人皆輸」;一個飽含無奈——「就這樣不了了之」。

選段(二)

The owner is obviously a muscular man, left-handed, with an excellent set of teeth, careless in his habits, and with no need to practise economy.

譯文(二)

煙斗的主人顯然是一個身強力壯的人,慣用左手,一口好牙齒,粗心大意,經濟富裕。(李家雲/譯)

筆記

選段(三)

From every gesture and expression I could see that he was areserved, self-contained man, with a dash of pride in his nature, more likely to hide his wounds than to expose them.

譯文(三)

我從他姿態神情上看出來,他是一個沉默寡言、不易衝動的人,天性有些驕傲,寧願掩蓋自己的創痛,也不願意暴露出來。(李家雲/譯)

筆記

選段(四)

During that time my wife and I have loved each other as fondly and lived as happily as any two that ever were joined. We have not had a difference, not one, in thought or word or deed.

譯文(四)

在這三年中,我和我的妻子像任何一對夫妻一樣,恩愛異常,生活美滿。我們的思想、言論和行動沒有絲毫分歧。(李家雲/譯)

筆記

選段(五)

I am usually an extremely sound sleeper. It has been a standing jest in the family that nothing could ever wake me during the night. And yet somehow on that particular night, whether it may have been the slight excitement produced by my little adventure or not I know not, but I slept much more lightly than usual.

譯文(五)

我通常睡得很死。家裡人經常嘲笑我說夜裡沒有什麼能把我吵醒。可是在這天晚上,由於這件事情的小小刺激或是其他原因,我不知道,但我卻睡得不想平常那麼死。(李家雲/譯)

筆記

之所以摘這段,是因為找到了同道中人。要問為什麼我也是an extremely sound sleeper,原因很簡單,因為睡前讀英文原版書,不信你也可以試試。學個詞兒「jest」,朗當上的英文釋義是「something you say that is intended to be funny, not serious」,也就是「玩笑,俏皮話」的意思,當然我家的家庭俏皮話可以出一套書了。
