整个爱尔兰都在下雪
詹姆斯·乔伊斯的小说《死者》,有一个著名的结尾。
Snow was general all over Ireland.
整个爱尔兰都在下雪。
It lay thickly drifted on the crooked crosses and headstones, on the spears of the little gate, on the barren thorns.
它纷纷飘落,厚厚积压在歪歪斜斜的十字架上和墓石上,落在一扇扇小墓门的尖顶上,落在荒芜的荆棘丛中。
His soul swooned slowly as he heard the snow falling faintly through the universe and faintly falling, like the descent of their last end, upon all the living and the dead.
他的灵魂缓缓地昏睡了,当他听着雪花微微地穿过宇宙在飘落,微微地,如同他们最终的结局那样,飘落到所有的生者和死者身上。
