    有声名著《格列佛游记》35:第7章 在王宫里(5)

    The dwarf used to catch some in his hands,and then let themout suddenly under my nose.He did this both to frighten meand amuse the Queen.I had to use my knife to cut them topieces as they flew around me.

    侏儒经常抓几个在手中,然后在我的鼻子底下突然松手,他这样做既是惊吓我也是逗王后乐。它们在我身边飞来飞去,我只有用我的刀子把它们砍成碎片。

    Another time,the dwarf picked me up and dropped me quicklyinto a bowl of milk on the table.Luckily,I am a good swimmer,so I managed to keep my headout of the milk.As soon as Glumdalclitch saw I was in danger,she ran from the other side of theroom to rescue me.I was not hurt,but this time the dwarf was sent away from the palace as apunishment.I was very pleased.

    另有一次,侏儒抓起我然后迅速把我丢进桌上的一碗牛奶里。好在我是个游泳好手,所以我能使头露在牛奶外面。葛兰达克利赤一看见我有危险就从屋子的另一端跑过来救我。我没有受伤,不过这次侏儒被罚出了宫,我对此非常高兴。

    I would now like to describe Brobdingnag.The people who draw our European maps think thereis nothing but sea between Japan and America,but they are wrong.Brobdingnag is quite a largecountry,joined on to northwest America,but separated from the rest of America by highmountains.It is about ten thousand kilometres long and from five to eight thousand wide.Thesea around it is so rough and there are so many rocks in the water that no large ships can land onany of the beaches.This means that the people of Brobdingnag do not normally have visitorsfrom other parts of the world.

    现在我想描绘一下布罗卜丁奈格。绘制欧洲地图的人认为在日本和美洲之间除了海什么都没有,但是他们错了。布罗卜丁奈格是个相当大的国家,与北美相连,但高山把它与美洲其他部分隔开了。它大约有1万公里长,5 000至8 000公里宽。它周围海水汹涌,水中有太多的礁石,绝没有大轮船可以在岸边登陆。这意味着布罗卜丁奈格人正常情况下很少有来自世界其他地方的来客。

    There are fifty-one cities and a large number of towns and villages The capital stands on bothsides of a river,and has more than eighty thousand houses.It covers three hundred and fortysquare kilometres.The King's palace covers about eleven square kilometres:the main rooms areeighty metres high.The palace kitchen is hug if I described it,with its great pots on the fire andthe mountains of food on the tables,perhaps you would not believe me.

    有51座城市,大量的市镇和村庄。都城横跨一条河,有8万座房子,面积达340多平方公里,国王的宫殿占地大约11平方公里,主要房屋有80米高。王宫的厨房很大—如果我来描绘,还有火上的大锅和桌上如山的食物,也许你不会相信。

    Travellers are often accused of not telling the truth when they return.To avoid this happening tome,I am being careful to describe what I saw as exactly and carefully as possible.

    旅行者常常被指责在他们回家时不说真话。为了避免这种事发生在我身上,我一直留心尽可能准确、仔细地描绘我所看到的。
