爱要怎么说出口(4)
“Let’s go,”said Alan quickly.
“我们走吧，”阿兰飞快地说。
“How far is it?”she asked.“I’m whacked 1.”
“还有多远？”她问，“我一点劲儿也没有了。”
“Half an hour.”
“半小时。”
“Can we eat them?”Her voice was a little plaintive 2. Alan noticed with satisfaction that she was becoming dependent on him again. But he knew that once they were off the mountain she would be with Tom. For a crazy moment he imagined Alice with himself living in the mountain valley together. Always. Trapped perhaps by some magical force that wouldn’t let them leave.
“我们能吃点东西吗？”她的声音有点儿伤感。阿兰心满意足，注意到她正在再次依靠他。但他知道一旦他们离开这座大山，她就会和汤姆泡在一起。一时间，他竟荒唐地想象着爱丽丝和自己一起居住在这个山谷，直到永远。或许是被某种魔力困在这里，不让他们离开。
The monastery 3 was square-roofed, austere，with barrack windows. There were fish tanks at the back and a terrace on which the monks 4 would have walked.
那座庙是方顶、木窗，十分简朴。庙后面有一些鱼缸，还有一个平台，和尚可以在上面随意走动。
Their feet on the stones made the only sound. Santa Caterina was utterly 5 still. A swift rose soundlessly over the slate 6 roof and the heat shimmered 7 on the roughcast walls. They lay down, their rucksack still on their backs, passing the water bottle, almost dozing 8.
四周只有他们踏在石头上所发出的声响，圣卡塔林纳万籁俱寂。一朵怒放的玫瑰在石板屋顶无声无息，亮光在粗糙的墙壁上闪烁。他们躺下来，递过水瓶，旅行包仍背在背后。他们几乎昏昏欲睡。
Suddenly she sat up and looked him with surprising tenderness. Alan’s black mood eased slightly.
突然，她坐起来，用令人吃惊的温柔目光凝视着他。阿兰的难受情绪稍微得到了缓解。
