、英语原文赏析

So far as my small experience goes，the most wonderful

arrival in the world is at ； but you should time

Venice it

after is so unlike anything else on earth that

the first impact of it must be a marvelous experience

at

any hour ；but after dark it is may have been

reading books about Venice all your life ；you may have seen

innumerable pictures of the glories of the city ；but no book

and no picture can prepare you for the enchantment of this

step out of the glitter and bustle

of the

station — rather weary and jaded with the long journey from

Mila n — straight on to the landing stage aga inst

which the

water of the Grand Canal is lapping ， to step on board

a

gondola and to go gliding down the dark ，broad ，

silent

highway，with dim-lit ，ghostly palaces on either hand

not till memory forsakes you will you forget

this

strange silence ，broken only by the measured

dip of the oar and the soft plashing of the water

against

your cleaving prow ，and the occasional hoarsecries of the

gondoliers as you pass another of these black ，funeral

barges ；the few and feeble lamps ，giving you momentary

glimpses of balconies and finely carven arches ；the sudden

intensification of the silence and the darkness as

you

abruptly leave the Grand Canal and slip along one of

the

narrower waterways ，always with tall houses on both sides

of you， and above you a clear sky of stars ， stars reflected

tremblingly on the black —thousa nds of

waters tourists

must have tried to describe all this ， but the magic and the

mystery and the beauty of it defy the spell

is heightened by the consciousness that this is

Venic

at the back of your mind is all that you have read

about

the strange history of this city

，once the richest and most

brilliant and most powerful in

，later fallen

Europe

upon

evil days of decay and subjection to a forein

，

power

beginning to lift her head again as one of the

great

seaports of

Italy.

二、译文（英译汉）

在有限的阅历当中， 我所到过的世界上最美丽的地方要数威

尼斯了，但是，你应该选择在夜幕降临以后再去参观。威尼斯是

如此与众不同，任何时候她留给人们的第一印象都是奇妙无比

的，而到了晚上，她更是充满了神秘。你一生中可能阅读过很多

描写威尼斯的著作； 也可能欣赏过无数描绘这个城市辉煌美景的
