BookOneTextTranslationBookOne译文洛城邂逅

1混凝土、烟雾及晨色将好莱坞高速公路立交桥下的奥尔瓦多街笼罩在特有的灰色之中，车辆堵塞在路上，几乎一动不动。杰克无精打采地坐在车里，对此并不真的在乎，因为他知道，如果试图往左转，开到高速路入口，情况可能会糟糕得多。好在他不用每天这样，如果有人问他，他会肯定地说，以后也决不这样。稳定的工作有其优点，他不否认考虑过这件事。他需要一台调频收音机，安装在一辆比他现在开的这辆58款别克车更好的车上。好一点的车有天鹅绒内饰，有为洛城的夏天而设计的电控装置，为冬天开往海滩而设计的精美电热器和除霜器，还有为长途旅行设计的导航控制器，当然车的前后都有声音优美的喇叭，窗户一摁就能关好，将外面高速公路上恼人的噪音隔绝。实际上，他可能不得不改变整个生活方式。富有异国情调的古龙香水、长毛绒服装、光线暗淡的夜总会、代基里酒、身穿丝绸长礼服、佩戴项链的女子，她们如同特奎拉酒广告里的女子一样，朦朦胧胧而又富有魅力。只要让他的想像驰骋，杰克会想像出许多可能的东西。BookOne2杰克正想入非非时，瞥见绿灯亮了，他只顾开动汽车，盯了一眼那些有固定工作的人，以示再见。当他扭过头来，面对前方时，已经晚了一秒钟。他猛地一下踩住刹车，调转方向，以防止撞上前面那辆车上小小的刹车红灯，但还是砰然一声撞上了。如果他动作再快一秒钟，也许只会离这辆车很近，不会撞上。而如果再晚一秒钟，他的车就会爬上这辆丰田车的行李箱。实际上，他好似没有把前面的车撞坏，而后面的车撞上了他车后部的保险杠，那一撞却严重多了。3杰克想开过这辆丰田车，但又怕前面的车挡路。当他在几辆车前的路边停下来时，又突然觉得这些车反而可能有助于他逃走。他使劲关了两次车门，一方面是为了将车门关紧，同时也再给自己一秒钟时间盘算。然后，他走到别克车的前面，又走到车后面，看看保险杠及其周围是否碰坏。然而，镀铬层上连明显的划痕都没有。于是他精神振作起来了。虽然比起启动性能和行驶性能来，车的外表之美是次要的，但他这些年取得的少数显著成就之一便是：他的汽车车身和喷漆上除了几处小小的刮痕以外还完好无损。BookOne4杰克没有先去跟丰田汽车司机说话，因为从她的表情可以看出，她可能会给他增添更多的麻烦，所以，他先是向撞了他的车的司机打了个手势。这时那个司机还坐在车里，但已将车停在了丰田车的后面。杰克向他挥挥手，摇摇头，让他知道什么问题也没有。这位司机也向杰克挥了挥手，便开动汽车走了。5“连漆都没擦伤，〞杰克用他特有的口气对她说，“你怎么样？车碰坏了吗？我倒是有点希望如此，这样，我们便可以多停留一会儿，聊一聊什么的。要不，你现在把号码给我，免得我以后还得跟你贫嘴，问你再要。〞6杰克把她的微笑当作一个好兆头，便松了一口气。他吸入的是她身上散发的香味儿，就好似是清新的空气。他拽了一下自己身上穿着的不算很新但还不算过时的衣服。“你的牌照是佛罗里达州的。但看上去你肯定是古巴人。〞“我父母是委内瑞拉人。〞“我叫杰克。〞他伸出手来。BookOne“我叫玛丽安娜。〞他们握了握手，她好似有生以来从未与人握过手似的。7“把你的车撞成那样了，我真的很抱歉。〞他的话听起来很真诚。他抚弄着撞碎了的尾灯旁的大坑。“这么容易就在新车上留下个坑，真是太令人吃惊了。这些车这么柔软，可能很快就会取代充水床垫。〞说到这里，杰克不知道接着该说什么好。这么多看似不可能发生的事都发生了。什么事都是可能的。“也许我们应该一起出去到什么地方吃早饭，同时好好谈谈这件事。〞“我不吃早饭。〞“那就喝点咖啡吧。〞“谢谢你，但我真的不能去。〞“你还没有结婚，是吧？这并不是说我会很在乎你结没结婚。我是个开朗型的人。〞她笑了笑说：“我得上班了。〞“上班真无聊。〞“你最好把驾照给我。〞她说。BookOne8杰克点了点头，感到很失望。“有点小问题，〞他说。“我没带驾照。今天早晨忘了。我是搞音乐的，〞他夸张地说，“而且，嗯，我也不知道，我的钱包放在了昨天晚上穿的那条裤子里。如果你有笔和纸，我把地址和所有这些都给你写上。〞9他跟着她走到贮物箱那边。“我们可不可以不向保险公司报告？我找人给你把车修好就是了。〞“我想，我爸爸不会让的。〞“你爸爸？这不是你的车吗？〞“是他给我买的。我住在家里。〞“是啊。〞她想要摆脱他。他走回到她的新丰田后面，再次查看了一下车的损坏状况。行李箱盖、保险杠、后挡板、尾灯都坏了。10“你真的上保险了吗？〞她走到车后面，疑心地问。“上了。〞他撒了个谎。“我想，你最好把保险公司的名字也写上。〞11他编造了一个姓和地址，并写下了他过去的女朋友曾经所在的保险公司的名字。他想把真实的号码给她，但又消除了这一念头，编造BookOne了一个号码。“我还是个演员，〞他撒了个谎，以便进一步加强效果，“演过两三部电影。〞她笑了笑，像是个影迷似的。12“那你的号码呢？〞他老练地反问道。于是，她把号码也给了他。“玛丽安娜，你真美，〞他用最真诚的声音说。“给我打吧，〞她羞怯地说。杰克微笑着。“我们会见面的，玛丽安娜，〞他伸出手说。她的手那么温暖轻柔，他感觉好似被亲吻了一样。13回到车里，杰克为自己的表演一时感到既自豪，又悲伤。接着，他从后视镜里看到玛丽安娜将车停在了他后面，她正在记录他的别克车后面的牌照号码。这号码是他从一辆废车上取下来装上去的，因为他自己车的牌照号早就过期了。他转动了点火钥匙，启动了庞大的发动机，喀嚓一声开动了车。当他开到畅通无阻的街道上时，自由的感觉油然而生。他情不自禁又去想像那调频立体声收音机、天鹅绒内饰、以及新车的味道，这将使一切变得更加美好。BookOneKeytoExercises1.ThestorytookplaceintheearlymorningonAlvaradoStreetbeneaththeoverpassoftheHollywoodFreeway.2.Hewassittinginhiscar,imaginingalotofgoodthingsandpossibilities.3.No,hedidn’t.Becausehedidn’thaveasteadyjob.4.Hewasthinkingaboutasteadyjob,abettercarwithmodernfacilities,luxuriouslifestyleandmanyotherpossibilities.5.Hewentahead,staredbye-byetothepeoplearound,andrealizedthathewashittingtheToyotabeforehim.6.Heconsideredgettingawaybutstopped,becausehewasafraidthatthetrafficwouldmakeitdifficultforhimtogetaway.BookOneKeytoExercises7.No,therewasn’t.Notevenanimpressionablescratchinthechrome.8.Yes,thetaillightwascracked,andtherewasawidedimplenearthecrackedtaillight.Therewasalsodamagetothetrunklid,thebumper,andarearpanel.9.Hetalkedtoherflirtatiously.10.Shedeclinedhisinvitation.11.Hewasdisappointed.12.No,Idon’tthinkso.13.Shewasconsideringreportingtheaccidenttotheinsurancecompanies.WeknowthisbecausesheaskedJakeforhisdriver’slicenseandthenameoftheinsurancecompany.BookOneKeytoExercises14.Firsthesaidhewasamusician.Thenhesaidhelefthisdriver’slicenseinthepantshewaswearingthenightbefore.Heliedthathehadinsuranceforhiscar.Hemadeupaname,address,telephonenumber,andgaveMarianathenameofaninsurancecompanyhisformergirlfriendbelongedto.Healsoliedthathewasanactor.Hismotivationoftellingtheselieswastoevadetheresponsibilitiesforthetrafficaccident.BookOneKeytoExercises15.Jakefeltbothproudandsadabouthisperformance.Hefeltproud,becausehegotoutoftroubleandhisperformanceasaloverwassonaturalandsuccessful.Hefeltsad,partlybecausehewassomewhatshamefulforhisliesandbehavior,partlybecauseMarianawouldsoonfindthathewasaliar.16.Shewrotedownthenumbersinordertoreportthemtotheinsurancecompanies.Jakewasnotafraidofthis,becausethenumbersdidnotreallybelongtohiscar.BookOneKeytoExercises17.Hefeltfreeagain.19.It’shumorousandsomewhatsad.20.Thebasicthemeofthestoryisthatlovecan’tbebasedonlies.Nomatterhowmaturelyliesaretold,theywillbediscoveredsoonerorlater.Thetitleofthestoryisitselfandirony.Thetwoyoungpeopletalkedandbehavedasiftheyhadfalleninlove,butthereadercaninferthattheywouldprobablyneverseeeachotheragain.ThedominantmotivationforJake’sbehavioristoevadehisresponsibilityfortheaccident.Atadifferentlevel,thestorycanbeunderstoodasanexaminationofthehumanmind.Itisasadthingtobeunabletotellthetruthforpracticalreasons.BookOneCharacterizationJakeMarianaEasy-going,irresponsibleGood-natured,good-manneredGiddy,clever,carelessPolite,cautious,friendlynotserious,nothard-workingRatherquiet,seriousTalkative,sociableTimid,shy,notverysociableimaginativeClever,carefulBookOneCharacterizationGilbemphasizescharacterizationratherthanplot.Hischaractersaredepictedrealisticallyandhonestly.Inthisstory,throughcarefully-chosenwordsandrealist
