年初，宅家的日子多了起来，倒是“报复性”地做了一些平时没空做的事，为了好玩也为了学点东西。比如，有闲可以同丈夫一起制作双语朗读小音频了。最初的出发点很简单：玩儿！然而如果只是读文章，即便英汉分角色朗读、配上音乐，到底还是觉得不够有趣。那么，怎样“玩”才有意思？他用英语读原文、用沪语念译文，我则负责录音、剪辑，并客串几个角色出声，再配上两人都喜欢的音乐：交响曲、圆舞曲、爵士乐之类。后来又不过瘾，索性将“有趣”进行到底：每篇文章之前，都设计个噱头十足的开篇词，之后，还有呼应的结束语。为此两人共同消磨的时间，像是彼此精神上的小宇宙，互相热烈地参与，且足够欢喜。请你来听听看吧。

!%*&%@*%$#!#%&**@&……上海爷叔讲了一段听不懂的话，but他倒说小神仙跑题。哼“上海爷叔鲜格格”是always不会跑题的。[抠鼻]好吧，还是让上海爷叔来说英语比较靠谱些。

《A LITTLE GIRL》

作者：Theodore Watts Dunton（英）

翻译：徐越庭

原文欣赏

Sitting on a grassy grave, beneath one of the windows of the church, was a little girl.With her head bent back she was gazing up at the sky and singing, while one of her little hands was pointing to a tiny cloud that hovered like a golden feather above her head. The sun, which had suddenly become very bright, shining on her glossy hair, gave it a metallic luster, and it was difficult to say what was the color, dark bronze or black. So completely absorbed was she in watching the cloud to which her strange song or incantation seemed addressed, that she did not observe me when I rose and went towards her. Over her head, high up in the blue, a lark that was soaring towards the same gauzy cloud was singing, as if in rivalry. As I slowly approached the child,I could see by her forehead, which in the sun shine seemed like a globe of pearl, and especially by her complexion that she was uncommonly lovely. Her eyes,which at one moment seemed blue-grey, at another violet, were shaded by long black lashes, curving back ward in a most peculiar way, and these matched in hue her eyebrows, and the tresses that were tossed above her tender throat and were quivering in the sunlight.

All this I did not take in at once; for at first I could see nothing about those quivering, littering, changeful eyes turned up into my face. Gradually the other features, especially the sensitive full-lipped mouth, grew upon me as I stood silently gazing. Here seemed to me a more perfect beauty than had ever come to me in my loveliest dreams of beauty.Yet it was not her beauty so much as the look she gave me that fascinated me,melted me.
