其實就算沒有習作,也會來拜年的:)本來想來貼一首中文詩,總覺得有些…… 還好,我的《佳思地77號》英譯發表了,就摘一段放這裏吧。今天再讀,還是覺得有些不可圈不可點,實在還得再努力精改(目標就是整理進英文小說集)。也請美語壇老師們多多賜教指點。用廣東話說,就是謝謝先:)
My garage and house were connected. When the garage door was shut down behind me, I would feel I was home safe without a doubt.
I slowly pulled my car into the garage and closed the door right after. Just as I was getting out of the car and about to open the door to the house, I heard something moving behind me. Before I was able to turn around, a man’s voice uttered: “No rush; slowly get in!”
I had watched enough movies and heard enough stories to realize what was going on. Although that voice was pretty low and calm, my hands were sweaty and cold. My entire body was trembling with fear.
“Open the door – No, put the other hand up.” The guy ordered again.
“Ok, Ok.” While OK’ing, I raised one hand and tried to open the door with the other shivering hand.
I dared not to turn around.
Finally I entered the living room and put my purse on the couch. My left hand was still up in the air.
“Now sit down, slowly.” The man behind me continued to make demands.
I slowly turned around and sat down quietly on the coach, still with my head down.
What if he is a rapist? My brain stopped functioning when that idea occurred to me.
“Don’t be scared like that. I am not a bad guy.” He said, as if he had seen through my mind.
