乔林

We leave you now with one of Scott Joplin's prettiest rags,"Heliotrope Bouquet."

我们离开的斯科特乔普林的最漂亮的碎布之一，"向日葵花束你。"

I am twenty-two blocks from where Rudolph Valentino lay in state,eight blocks from where Nathan Hale was executed,five blocks from the publisher's office where Ernest Hemingway hit Max Eastman on the nose,four miles from where Walt Whitman sat sweating out editorials for the Brooklyn Eagle,thirty-four blocks from the street Willa Cather lived in when she came to New York to write books about Nebraska,ne block from where Marceline used to clown on the boards of the Hippodrome,thirty-six blocks from the spot where the historian Joe Gould kicked a radio to pieces in full view of the public,thirteen blocks from where Harry Thaw shot Stanford White,five blocks from where I used to usher at the Metropolitan Opera and only 112 blocks from the spot where Clarence Day the elder was washed of his sins in the Church of the Epiphany(I could continue this list indefinitely);and for that matter I am probably occupying the very room that any number of exalted and somewise memorable characters sat in,some of them on hot,breathless afternoons,lonely and private and full of their own sense of emanations from without.

我是二十二个区段从哪里 Rudolph Valentino 以隆重的仪礼放置，八个区段从哪里内森猛拉被运行，来自欧内斯特海明威打击在鼻子上的最大依斯曼，四里的出版者的办公室的五个区段从哪里沃尔特惠特曼为布鲁克林鹰坐着出汗出社论，当她来了纽约有关内布拉斯加写书的时候，来自街道 Willa Cather 的三十四个区段住在，旧姓的区段从哪里用到在竞技场的董事会上的小丑的 Marceline，来自地点的三十六个区段哪里历史学家乔 Gould 踢了对民众的充足视野的块一个收音机，十三个区段从哪里哈利融解射击史丹福白色的，来自我过去一直在来自克拉伦马车日子年长者在主显节的教堂中被他的罪洗的地点的大都市的歌剧和只有 112个区段引导的地方的五个区段；(我可以不确定继续这一本目录)而且就那件事而论我正在或许占领最房间一些尊贵的和 somewise 值得纪念的个性坐在，他们其中的一些在热又喘不过气来的午后，孤单而私人而充满的他们自己散发感从没有。

I am twenty-two blocks from where Rudolph Valentino lay in state,eight blocks from where Nathan Hale was executed,five blocks from the publisher's office where Ernest Hemingway hit Max Eastman on the nose, four miles from where Walt Whitman sat sweating out editorials for the Brooklyn Eagle , thirty-four blocks from the street Willa Cather lived in when she came to New York to write books about Nebraska, one block from where Marceline used to clown on the boards of the Hippodrome, thirty-six blocks from the spot where the historian Joe Gould kicked a radio to pieces in full view of the public, thirteen blocks from where Harry Thaw shot Stanford White, five blocks from where I used to usher at the Metropolitan Opera and only 112 blocks from the spot where Clarence Day the elder was washed of his sins in the Church of the Epiphany (I could continue this list indefinitely); and for that matter I am probably occupying the very room that any number of exalted and somewise memorable characters sat in, some of them on hot, breathless afternoons, lonely and private and full of their own sense of emanations from without..

二十二个街区远的地方，鲁道夫·瓦伦蒂诺在安眠；八个街区远的地方，内森·黑尔被绞死；五个街区远的地方，是出版人办公室，欧内斯特·海明威在那里挥拳击中了马克斯·伊斯门的鼻子；四英里远的地方，沃尔特。惠特曼曾挥汗如雨为《布鲁克林之鹰》写社论；三十四个街区以外，是威拉。卡瑟初到纽约的旧居，她当时正准备写作有关内布拉斯加州的著作；一个街区远的街道，马士莱在竞技场舞台上扮演过小丑；三十六个街区以外，历史学家乔。古尔德在众目睽睽之下踢碎了一台收音机；十三个街区以外，哈里。肖拔枪射击斯坦福。怀特；五个街区以外，是我过去做带位员的大都市剧场；而距离老克拉伦斯。戴举行葬礼的主显节教堂，仅有一百一十二个街区（我不确定还能再想起点儿什么）。就此而言，我正置身其中的房间，或许曾经呆过一些高贵而令人难忘的大人物，他们中一些人，在闷热的下午，坐在这里，孤独而隐秘，发散出异于外界的特有气息。

The cat turned chicken the moment Yossarian released him and fled from Humgry Joe ignominiously like a yellow dog.

尤索林刚一松手，那只猫就胆怯起来，象个卑鄙的家伙似的避开亨格利？乔，可耻地逃走了。

In the course of the construction of the spire, Jocelin's excessive pride, his forbidden sexual desire for Goody Pangall, and even his shaking religious belief for God are uncovered one by one.

在建造高塔的过程中，乔斯林过度的骄傲，隐藏於内心对古迪。潘格尔的色欲，甚至他对上帝信仰的摇摆不定皆一一显露出来。

Jocelin intends to build a tower which will reach the heaven, but, ironically, he builds a Tower of Babel, a tower full of confusion and chaos, also a tower nourished with the human blood and flesh.

乔斯林想要建一座上达天听的高塔，却造一座充满混乱骚动的巴别塔。

The Spire begins with Dean Jocelin's ambition to set up the highest spire on earth, but ends up with the falling of the spire together with the death of Jocelin.

尖塔》故事从乔斯林主教痴心妄想建造一座世界最高的尖塔展开，结果却以塔倒人亡收场。

Chapter Two chiefly underlines Dean Jocelin's pride and lechery (two of the "Seven Deadly Sins") through his merciless sacrificing the happiness of the two couples.

第二章透过乔斯林主教无情地牺牲二对夫妻的幸福来探讨七大原罪中的「骄傲」及「色欲」。

"You're too perfect for me," Jocelyn said.

"你太完美了，"乔斯林说。

Love, Jocelyn. Love is...

乔斯林。爱是什么？

I'm strongly against the death penalty — it's an eye for an eye.

我不赞成死刑——这是以牙还牙的报复行为。

And to get you the support you need, we're enlisting all elements of our national power: our diplomacy and development, our economic might and our moral suasion, so that you and the rest of our military do not bear the burden of our security alone.

并给你们所须的支援，我们正徵召国家所有各种的力量：我们的外交及发展，我们的经济力量与道德劝说，所以你们与其他军人不须要孤独地负起国家安全的责任。
