暮光之城?暮色 第181期:第十一章 復(fù)雜(14)

[00:00:01]His questions were different now, though, not as easily answered. 不過(guò)，他現(xiàn)在的問(wèn)題變得不一樣了，不再那么容易回答了。 [00:04:17]He wanted to know what I missed about home, insisting on descriptions of anything he wasn't familiar with. 他想知道我想念著家里的什么事物，堅(jiān)持要我描述出任何他不熟悉的部分。 [00:11:26]We sat in front of Charlie's house for hours, as the sky darkened and rain plummeted around us in a sudden deluge. 我們坐在查理的房子前，坐了好幾個(gè)小時(shí)，直到天黑下來(lái)，驟然泛濫的雨水筆直地落在我們周圍。 [00:17:46]I tried to describe impossible things like the scent of creosote 我試圖描述出一些根本沒(méi)法形容的食物，像是木餾油的香味 [00:23:15]bitter, slightly resinous, but still pleasant — the high, keening sound of the cicadas in July, 發(fā)苦的，有點(diǎn)像樹脂，但還是很親切——七月里尖銳凄厲的蟬鳴， [00:32:05]the feathery barrenness of the trees, the very size of the sky, 柔軟如鴻毛的無(wú)葉樹(仙人掌)，廣闊無(wú)垠的天空， [00:35:54]extending white-blue from horizon to horizon, barely interrupted by the low mountains covered with purple volcanic rock. 那種發(fā)白的藍(lán)色從一側(cè)的地平線一直延伸到另一側(cè)的地平線，極少被覆滿了紫色火山巖的低矮的山丘阻斷。 [00:43:38]The hardest thing to explain was why it was so beautiful to me — to justify a beauty that didn't depend on the sparse, 最難解釋的事情是為什么我會(huì)覺(jué)得它們?nèi)绱嗣利悺x一種并非基于稀稀落落的，多刺的， [00:51:58]spiny vegetation that often looked half dead, a beauty that had more to do with the exposed shape of the land, 經(jīng)常看上去半死不活的植被的美麗，一種與大地裸路的形狀，與崎嶇的山谷間淺淺的有如碗狀的山谷， [00:58:37]with the shallow bowls of valleys between the craggy hills, and the way they held on to the sun. 與他們?cè)谔?yáng)底下綿延的方式毫無(wú)關(guān)系的美麗。 [01:04:07]I found myself using my hands as I tried to describe it to him. 當(dāng)我努力向他解釋時(shí)，我發(fā)現(xiàn)自己常常得用上手勢(shì)。 [01:08:39]His quiet, probing questions kept me talking freely, forgetting, in the dim light of the storm, 他安靜的，尖銳的提問(wèn)讓我自由自在地說(shuō)著話，在暴風(fēng)雨中微弱的光線里， [01:16:05]to be embarrassed for monopolizing the conversation. Finally, when I had finished detailing my cluttered room at home, 完全忘記了要為自己壟斷了所有的對(duì)話而窘迫不安。最終，當(dāng)我描述完我在家里的那個(gè)亂糟糟的房間以后，他 [01:23:18]he paused instead of responding with another question. 停了下來(lái)，沒(méi)有再提出下一個(gè)問(wèn)題。 [01:25:37]Are you finished? I asked in relief. 你問(wèn)完了?我如釋重負(fù)地問(wèn)道。
