spring . 片刻平静

Spring George Gissing Morning after morning,of late, I have taken my walk in the same direction, my purpose being yo look at a plantation of young larches. There is no lovelier color on earth than that in whinch they are now clad; it seenms to refresh as well as gladden my eyes, and its influence sinks deep into my heart. Too soon it will change , already I think the first radiant verdure has begun to pass into summer’s soberness. The larch has its moment of unmatched beauty- and well for him whose chance permits him to enjoy it, spring after spring. 最近，我一个又一个早上朝着同样的方向散步，意在看一片生机勃勃的落叶松，他们现在陈显出来的色彩是世上最可爱的，似乎让我觉得那双眼清新惬意，又使我心中欢喜无比。很快这色彩就会发生变化，我已经感到最初的那光彩熠熠的鲜绿，已在开始变成夏季的那种素净。落叶松片刻间呈现出无与伦比的美来- 有机会一个又一个春天享受到这种美的人，是很幸运的。 Could anything be mmore wonderful than the fact that here am I , day by day, not only at leisure to walk forth and gaze at the larches, but blesses with the tranquility of mind needful for such enjoyment? On any morning of spring sunshine, how many mortals find themselves so much in peace that they are able to give themselves wholly to delight in the glory of heaven and the earth? Is it the case with one man in every fifty thousand? Consider what extraordinary kindness of fate must tend upon one,that not a care, not a preoccupation, should interfere with his contemplative thought for five or six says successively ! so rooted in the human mind is the belief in an Envious Power, that I ask myself whether I shall not have to play , by some disaster, for his period of sacred calm. For a week or so I have been one of a small number, chosen out of the whole human race by fate’s supreme benediction. It may be that this comes to every one in turn ; to most, it can only be once in a lifetime, and so briefly. 我日复一日的来这儿，不仅悠然自地走上前去看落叶松，而且被赐予心中的宁静- 这种的享受需要如此- 还有什么比这更为奇妙的吗？当春光明媚之时，有多少人能在某个早晨发现自己非常安宁，以致能够全身心的享受天地间的壮美？每五万人中有一人能这样吗？想想吧，如果一连五六天一个人都能够静静的思考，而不会受到任何忧虑和当务之急的打扰，那么命运一定赐予了他多么非凡的厚爱啊！人们是相信嫉妒之力的，这种信念在人的头脑中根深蒂固，以致我问自己是否我将不得不承受什么灾难，从而为获得这段神圣的宁静日子付出代价，命运之神以其至高的恩赐，从整个人类中挑出少数人，而有一两周我将成为其中一员，也许每个人都会得到一次这样的机会，对于多数人而言，人生也只有一次，并且十分短暂。
