We Are on a Journey (Excerpt3)
    人在旅途 (節(jié)選3)
    提示:
    作者戴克(1852-1933)是美國演說家及作家。其文筆之跳躍,思維之鮮活,畢現(xiàn)于字里行間。本文讓讀者進(jìn)入這樣的境界:人生如旅途,世人皆過客。要歇下腳步,必須先走完全程。也許,我們會(huì)迷失方向,走了彎路,甚至,反向而行。但有一點(diǎn)是肯定的,我們一直在努力著。人在旅途!我們注定一生勇往直前,永不停歇。
    翻譯下列原文:
    Are you nearer to your port today than you were yesterday? Yes,-you must be a little to some port or other; for since your ship was first launched upon the sea of life, you have never been still for a single moment; the sea is too deep, you could not find an anchorage if you would; there can be no pause until you come into port.
    譯文:
    相比昨天,今天的你是否離港灣更近一些了呢?是的,--你一定離某個(gè)港灣更近了;因?yàn)椋詮哪泷側(cè)肴松暮Q?,你的航船便沒有片刻停歇;海洋是如此深邃,你根本無法找到拋錨停泊之處;因此,在駛?cè)敫蹫持?,你不得停下腳步。
    點(diǎn)評(píng):
    這就是人生的最真實(shí)寫照:...Since your ship was first launched upon the sea of life, you have never been still for a single moment.
