爱要怎么说出口
If only we’d never gone there, thought Alan. They were scrambling up the mountainside in the late afternoon heat. Alice was so tanned that she looked as if she had lived on the Mediterranean for months, while he, being fair, had turned a blotchy, peeling.
阿兰心里想道:要是我们从未到过那个地方该多好啊。在下午后半晌的炎热中,他们向山坡上爬去。爱丽丝被晒得黑黝黝的,看上去就像在地中海上住过几个月似的;而阿兰原本细皮嫩肉,这时身上已经变得红一块白一块,脱了一层皮。
He looked up at the mountainside, the path twisting upwards towards the cairn cross, the white heat bleaching the rock. Why on earth couldn’t they talk about it? Why couldn’t he even accuse her?
他抬头向山坡望去,只见小路盘旋而上通向那个圆锥形十字石碑,炽热的阳光将岩石晒得发白。他们究竟为什么不能谈那件事?他为什么连责骂她都不能呢?
He had thought it was going to be all right. But it was as if the heat had drained their love.
他原以为一切都会好的,但好像酷热已经将他们的爱抽干。
At home they had been so blissfully happy that he now realized it couldn’t have lasted. She comes to his school from the Midlands because her family had split up. An only child, living with her father, trying to look after him, lonely, depressed, anxious, she had come to Alan to be healed. At least, that’s what he liked to think. Had he healed her? No. Tom had, even though Alan loved her with all the passion. Now his hatred for both of them was as strong as his love.
在家时,他们曾是多么幸福。现在他意识到那不会再继续下去了。由于家庭破裂,她从内陆来到他的学校。作为独生女,她和她的父亲住在一起,尽力去照顾他。她孤独无依、无精打采、愁眉苦脸,经常到阿兰那里去排除忧伤。至少他喜欢这样认为。他为她解忧了吗?没有。是汤姆,即使阿兰曾付出所有的激情爱着她。如今他对他们俩的爱就像他的恨一样强烈。 “Come on!”Alice had turned back to him, waving impatiently.
“跟上!”爱丽丝转身向他喊,不耐烦地挥着手。
“Coming,”Alan looked at his watch. Five, The crickets would start singing soon. He walked on, the sweat pouring into his eyes. Knowing she had opened the bottle of mineral water. Would she let him catch up with her? An even greater misery seized him. It reminded him of the night he made himself drunk on the rough local wine his parents bought in the village. His heart had ached then, too, and his sense of loss had increased as he relived each minute of a day when Tom and Alice had seemed to draw closer and closer together.

Suns Hidden Twin Stalks Planet Earth
太阳隐藏着的小兄弟威胁着地球
[1] When the end of the world comes, we'll know what to blame. Scientists have found compelling evidence that the Sun has a baby brother, a dark star whose eccentric orbit is responsible for periodically showering the Earth with comets and meteorites.
[2] The dark star--named Nemesis by astronomers--is thought to be a brown dwarf" that spins round the Sun in an orbit so large it is measured in light years, the distance light travels in a year, equivalent to about 6,000 billion miles.
[3] The research suggests that, every 26m years, the star's eccentric orbit brings it within one light year of the solar system. There it causes havoc in the Oort Cloud, a huge region surrounding the solar system that contains billions of bits of cosmic rubble left over from the formation of planets.
[4] Of the millions of rocks it throws out of orbit at each visit, some hurtle Earthwards--and have several times nearly wiped out life on Earth.
[5] Astronomers have long wondered if the Sun has a smaller partner. Recently, two independent groups of researchers have found evidence of one.
[1]当世界末日来临时我们将知道该去责备什么。科学家们已发现明显的迹象表明:太阳有一个小弟弟,它是一颗暗星,其偏心轨道导致彗星群和流星雨周期性降落地球。
[2]这颗被天文学家叫做复仇女神星的暗星被认为是一颗"褐矮星",它围绕太阳旋转的轨道大得要用光年计量,光年是光在一年中走过的距离,大约等于 6万亿英里。
[3]研究表明,每经过2600万年,这颗星的偏心轨道就将它带到距太阳系1光年的范围内。在那里,它引起了奥尔特云的浩劫,奥尔特云是一个巨大的围绕太阳系的区域,里面包含了数十亿从行星形成中分离出来的宇宙碎块。
[4]它每一次访问太阳系时,都从轨道上甩出上百万个岩块,其中一些飞向地球的方向--有几次几乎摧毁地球上的生命。
[5]天文学家长期以来一直怀疑太阳是否有一个小伴星。最近,两个独立的研究小组已经发现了一些端倪。

Caught in the Web of the Internet
沉湎因特网
IN THIS ARTICLE: Getting hooked on the Internet isn't confined to a few computer nerds. It's on the rise everywhere--and women are the most likely addicts. Ingrid Parker, once a slave to Internet chatrooms, found her experiences so devastating that she wrote a book to help other addicts break the habit. --Editor
本文简介:沉醉于因特网而难以自拔的人已不再局限于少数计算机迷了。对因特网痴迷的人越来越多,到处都是--妇女最可能成为对因特网着迷的人。英格丽德·帕克一度沉溺于网上聊天,后来发现那段经历使她损失不小,因而写了一本书以帮助其他网上君子们改掉上网成瘾的毛病。。
[1]It's the equivalent of inviting sex addicts to a brothel or holding an Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meeting at the pub. Internet addicts tired of their square-eyed, keyboard tapping ways need look no further than the Web for counselling. There is now an online counselling service at www.relate.org.nz for Internet obsessives. Just e-mail the details of your Internet-induced crisis and help comes direct to your inbox. The new breed of cybertherapists see nothing strange about offering help through the very medium that is swallowing their clients' free time and splitting their marriages.
[2] Sue Hine, of Relationship Services, says: "Internet obsession has become a more noticeable problem over the last 18 months. At least this is an area addicts are familiar with and they'll be able to use it as a tool to overcome their obsession." Nor do experts worry that the Relate Website might become a favourite--a place to spend hours online in the name of Internet therapy. Dependency is always a risk with any form of counselling. There are various strategies we can adopt to keep that in perspective, says Hine.
[3] Though some may regard Internet addiction as another dubious ailment dreamed up to keep therapists in work, Relationship Services says the problem is real.
[4] Internet usage is up to four-and-a-half hours on the Web each week, compared to three-and-a-half hours a year ago. Therapist Robin Paul says there tend to be two scenarios. Some people meet through chatrooms and fall in love. It's like having an affair, then they meet and it's like a whirlwind honeymoon. It's devastating for the person left behind and quite often it has no real foundation.
[5] I saw one couple who were still together but it was very rocky. He met someone on the Net and went overseas to meet the woman. Then he left his wife and children to be with her. In another case I saw recently, a man left his three children to be with a woman (who was) leaving her four children. It's terribly hard on the kids when this happens.
[1]上网成瘾如同邀约好色的人逛妓院,或者在小酒馆里举行"嗜酒者互诫协会"(AA)会员集会。网迷们疲劳地盯着显示屏,敲击着键盘,只想通过万维网寻求咨询。现在有一种为网迷开设的网上咨询服务,其网址是: www.relate.org.nz。你只需把上网引发的"危机"详情用电子邮件发出去,就会从你的邮箱中直接收到帮助信息。新式的计算机治疗专家认为,通过网络寻求帮助并不奇怪,正是它吞噬着网迷们的自由时间,而且危及到他们的婚姻。
[2]"关系服务"网站的苏·海英说:"在最近的18个月中,上网成瘾已经成为一个非常突出的问题。服务网站至少是网迷熟悉的地方,他们将能够把它作为戒掉网瘾的工具来使用。"专家们也并不担心服务网站会成为上网者最爱光顾的地方--一个网迷们花费在线时间进行网上诊疗的地方。依赖于任何形式的咨询服务总是靠不住的。海英说,我们可以采取各种措施使服务网站发挥有效作用。
[3]有些人认为,沉醉于因特网的人是患有某种假想的精神失调症,这只是使得精神治疗专家有事可做。然而,关系服务网站却认为这个问题确实存在。
[4]一年前,万维网的使用率为每周3.5小时,而现在达到了4.5小时。诊疗专家罗宾·保罗说,痴迷于因特网往往表现为两种情形。有的人在聊天室相识并坠人爱河。这就像有了不正当关系,然后约会,像蜜月一般慌慌张张的。被抛弃的一方在感情上会受到极大的打击,而这种网上恋爱通常全然没有现实的基础。
[5]"我曾目睹一对夫妇,他们仍在一起,但彼此之间的感情已经摇摇欲坠。男方在网上有了外遇,就飘洋过海去与网上恋人见面,之后,他为了和她在一起而抛妻弃子。在我最近看到的另一个例子中,男方为了跟某个女人在一起,抛下了自己的三个孩子,而那个女人也准备离开她的四个孩子。这种事情可害苦了那些孩子们。
