聽(tīng)力原文及翻譯
I decided to make his end as painless as possible, so I pushed facts into his stupid head for hours. Finally, I let him go to the examination, to experience what I was sure would be his dismissal from school. "well, sir, try to imagine the result. I was shocked out of my mind.
我決定讓他的死盡可能地沒(méi)有痛苦,所以我花了好幾個(gè)小時(shí)把事實(shí)灌輸?shù)剿薮赖哪X袋里。最后,我讓他去參加考試,讓他體驗(yàn)一下我確信他會(huì)被學(xué)校開(kāi)除的感覺(jué)。 “好吧,先生,試著想象一下結(jié)果。我震驚得發(fā)瘋了。
he took first prize and he got the highest praise. I felt guilty day and night. what I was doing was not right, but I only wanted to make his dismissal a little less painful for him. I never dreamed it would lead to such strange, laughable results. I thought that sooner or later one thing was sure to happen; the first real test, once he was through school, would ruin him.
他獲得了一等獎(jiǎng),得到了最高的贊揚(yáng)。我日夜感到內(nèi)疚。我做的是不對(duì)的,但我只是想讓他被解雇對(duì)他來(lái)說(shuō)不那么痛苦。我做夢(mèng)也沒(méi)想到這會(huì)導(dǎo)致如此奇怪、可笑的結(jié)果。我認(rèn)為遲早會(huì)有一件事發(fā)生;一旦他完成學(xué)業(yè),第一次真正的考驗(yàn)就會(huì)毀了他。
Then the Crimean War broke out. I felt that sad for him that there had to be a war. Peace would have given this donkey a chance to escape from ever being found out as being so stupid. Nervously I waited for the worst to happen; it did, he was appointed an officer, a captain of all things. who could have dreamed that they would place such a responsibility on such weak shoulders as his?"
然后克里米亞戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)爆發(fā)了。我為他感到難過(guò),不得不打一場(chǎng)戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)。和平會(huì)給這頭驢子一個(gè)機(jī)會(huì),讓他永遠(yuǎn)不被發(fā)現(xiàn)是如此愚蠢。我緊張地等待著最壞的事情發(fā)生;它確實(shí)發(fā)生了,他被任命為一名軍官,一名隊(duì)長(zhǎng)。誰(shuí)能想到他們會(huì)把這樣的責(zé)任放在他如此脆弱的肩膀上?”
