《查太莱夫人的情人(双语)》

tterleys on a rather inadequate income. Clifford had a sister, but she had departed. Otherwise there were no near relatives. The elder brother was dead in the war. Crippled for ever, knowing he could never have any children, Clifford came home to the smoky Midlands to keep the Chatterley name alive while he could.
时间已经是1920年。克利福德携康斯坦斯返回家乡,入住祖传的拉格比府。父亲已经辞世,克利福德承袭爵位,成为克利福德男爵,而康斯坦斯也成为查泰莱男爵夫人。置身于查泰莱家这座有点凄清的祖宅,夫妻俩操持家务,依靠稍显微薄的收入,过起日子来。克利福德有个姐姐,但已经离开。此外她们再无近亲。其兄死于战火。克利福德清楚自己注定终生残废,无望有后,重回烟雾缭绕的米德兰(注:英格兰中部地区的旧称),为的只是在自己的有生之年,让查泰莱家不至于断绝香火。
He was not really downcast. He could wheel himself about in a wheeled chair, and he had a bath-chair with a small motor attachment, so he could drive himself slowly round the garden and into the line melancholy park, of which he was really so proud, though he pretended to be flippant about it.
他并未因此而十分郁郁寡欢。他可以摇着轮椅,四处游逛,而驾着那个装有小型马达的巴斯轮椅(注:旧时一种供残疾人使用的轮椅,多带有蓬盖),更能够悠哉游哉地在花园中徜徉,进入那片树木成行、凄清阴郁的庭院中去。拥有如此气派的园林,他其实颇为得意,只是装出一副满不在乎的模样而已。
Having suffered so much, the capacity for suffering had to some extent left him. He remained strange and bright and cheerful, almost, one might say, chirpy, with his ruddy, healthy-looking face, arid his pale-blue, challenging bright eyes. His shoulders were broad and strong, his hands were very strong. He was expensively dressed, and wore handsome neckties from Bond Street. Yet still in his face one saw the watchful look, the slight vacancy of a cripple.
经历诸多苦难,克利福德对痛苦的承受能力有点离他而去。他依然古怪,总是满面春风,笑逐颜开,脸色健康红润,淡蓝色的双眸神采奕奕,说他是乐天派也不为过。其双肩宽厚强壮,两手结实有力。其人衣着华贵,颈部总系着邦德街(注:位于伦敦西部上流住宅区的一条商业街,从18世纪繁盛至今)买回的漂亮的领带。但从他的脸上,还是能看到那种残疾人特有的警惕表情,以及略显空洞的眼神。
He had so very nearly lost his life, that what remained was wonderfully precious to him. It was obvious in the anxious brightness of his eyes, how proud he was, after the great shock, of being alive. But he had been so much hurt that something inside him had perished, some of his feelings had gone. There was a blank of insentience.
他曾去鬼门关走过一遭,因此对余生倍加珍视。一双明眸分明闪烁着焦虑,流露出对自己大难不死的得意神色。但所受的创伤确实太过深重
