A Winter Walk 2

1、 But now, while we have loitered, the clouds have gathered again, and a few straggling（转译） snow-flakes are beginning to descend. Faster and faster they fall, shutting out the distant objects from sight. （转译） The snow falls on every wood and field, and no crevice is forgotten; by the river and the po

3、eaves, which were not buried before, are concealed, and the tracks of men and beasts are lost. With so little effort does nature reassert her rule, and blot out the traces of men. Hear how Homer has described the same. The snow flakes fall thick and fast on a winter's day. 形转动 The winds are lull

8、facing the wind and sleet, and drawing his cloak about him, （顺序）we rather think of him as a merry wood-chopper, and warm-blooded youth, as blithe as summer. The unexplored grandeur of the storm keeps up the spirits of the traveler. 转译It does not trifle with us, but has a sweet earnestness. （转译）In wi

9、nter we lead a more inward life. 意译Our hearts are warm and cheery, like cottages under drifts, whose windows and doors are half concealed, but from whose chimneys the smoke cheerfully ascends. 省略The imprisoning drifts increase the sense of comfort which the house affords, and in the coldest days we

10、are content to sit over the hearth and see the sky through the chimney top, enjoying the quiet and serene life that may be had in a warm corner by the chimney side, or feeling our pulse by listening to the low of cattle in the street, or the sound of the flail in distant barns all the long afternoon

11、.长句综合法、定语从句， No doubt a skillful physician could determine our health by observing how these simple and natural sounds affected us. 名转形We enjoy now, not an oriental, but a boreal leisure, around warm stoves and fire-places, and watch the shadow of motes in the sunbeams.逆序法尽管在天文日历中，冬天是一副老人的形象，直面狂风暴雪，裹着大衣，但是我们更愿把它想象成一个愉悦的砍柴者，一个热血青年，像夏天一样愉快。风暴未被开发的壮丽景象仍保持着旅行者的精神。冬季不会玩弄我们，而是态度真诚。在冬天，我们更多的探索自己的内心世界。我们的心温和而愉悦，就像被雪覆盖的村舍：半掩的窗户和门，从烟囱里冒出来的烟欢乐地升腾。飘飞
