The Death Of The Moth原文及译文

THE DEATH OF THE MOTH飞蛾之死 Moths that fly by day are not properly to be called moths; they do not excite that pleasant sense of dark autumn nights and ivy–blossom which the commonest yellow–underwing asleep in the shadow of the curtain never fails to rouse in us. They are hybrid creatures, neither gay like butterflies nor sombre like their own species. Nevertheless the present specimen, with his narrow hay–coloured wings, fringed with a tassel of the same colour, seemed to be content with life. It was a pleasant morning, mid–September, mild, benignant, yet with a keener breath than that of the summer months. The plough was already scoring the field opposite the window, and where the share had been, the earth was pressed flat and gleamed with moisture. Such vigour came rolling in from the fields and the down beyond that it was difficult to keep the eyes strictly turned upon the book. The rooks too were keeping one of their annual festivities; soaring round the tree tops until it looked as if a vast net with thousands of black knots in it had been cast up into the air; which, after a few moments sank slowly down upon the trees until every twig seemed to have a knot at the end of it. Then, suddenly, the net would be thrown into the air again in a wider circle this time, with the utmost clamour and vociferation, as though to be thrown into the air and settle slowly down upon the tree tops were a tremendously exciting experience. 真正的蛾子从不在白天活动,比如最常见的黄夜蛾,它们只是栖息在窗帘的阴影里,让人忍不住联想到黑沉沉的秋夜,还有常春藤花。而那些在白天飞来飞去的蛾子其实是杂交的,所以它们不像普通蛾子那样阴沉,也不像蝴蝶那样欢快。然而我现在看到的这一只似乎还活得挺自在。他翅膀狭窄,颜色像枯草,翅膀边缘有同样颜色的穗。时值9月中旬,一个美丽的清晨,气候温和舒适,有阵阵微风,空气比夏天还清新。窗户对面,人们已经开始犁地。所到之处土壤压得平平整整,泛着湿润的光泽。田野和远处高地上的热闹景象让我难以静下心来看书。树顶上的白嘴鸦们也聚集起来,大声叫嚣着,仿佛在庆祝节日。从远处看去,这一大群白嘴鸦简直像一个打满黑结的大网,这大网撒到空中又慢慢落下,于是每个树枝都落上了一个结。突然,这大网再次抛洒起来,这次抛得更远,白嘴鸦的吵闹声也更大,好像每次的撒网和慢慢地落下都是一件多么激动的事情。 The same energy which inspired the rooks, the ploughmen, the horses, and even, it seemed, the lean bare–backed downs, sent the moth fluttering from side to side of his sq
