To Rome by Pisa and Siena

Charles Dickens

〔英〕查尔斯

;

狄更斯

There is nothing in Italy

，

more beautiful to me

，

than the

coast-road

between

Genoa

and

Spezzia.

On

one

side:sometimes

far

below,

sometimes

nearly

on

a

level

with

the

road

，

and

often

skirted

by

broken

rocks

of

many

shapes:there

is

the

free

blue

sea

，

with

here

and

there

a

picturesque

felucca

gliding

slowly

on;on

the

other

side

are

lofty hills, ravines besprinkled with white cottages

，

patches of

dark

olive

woods

，

country

churches

with

their

light

open

towers, and country houses gaily painted. On every bank and

knoll

by

the

wayside,

the

wild

cactus

and

aloe

flourish

in

exuberant

profusion;and

the

gardens

of

the

bright

villages

along the road

，

are seen

，

all blushing in the summer-time with

1

clusters of the Belladonna, and are fragrant in the autumn and

winter with golden oranges and lemons.

在我看来，

位于热那亚和斯培西亚之间的那条滨海大道，

意大利

再 没有什么可以与之相媲美的了。

一面是奔腾的蓝色海洋，

它时而 水

位很低，

时而几乎与路面持平，

海水 的边缘被碎石隔成许多不同的形

状，

海面上还随处有别致的三桅 小帆船慢慢飘过。

另一面则是高高的

山丘，峡谷周围布满了白色 的村舍，还有黑色的橄榄树、乡村教堂和

它那明亮敞开的城堡，

以及涂彩明快的庄园点缀。

路旁的每处浅滩和

小山上，生长着茂 盛的野生的仙人掌和芦荟。沿路的明亮的庄园里，

在夏日，可以看到一簇簇盛开的红色颠 茄花

;

而在秋、冬季节，金橘

和柠橡的 芳香溢满庄园。

Some of the villages are inhabited, almost exclusively, by

fishermen;and it is pleasant to see their great boats hauled up

on the beach

，

making little patches of shade

，

where they lie

asleep,

or

where

the

women

and

children

sit

romping

and

looking

out

to

sea

，

while

they

mend

their

nets

upon

the

is one town

，

Camoglia, with its little harbour on

the

sea

，

hundreds of

feet

below

the

road;

where families

of

mariners

live,

who,

time

out

of

mind

，

have

owned

coasting-vessels in that place, and have traded to Spain and

elsewhere. Seen from the road above, ii is like a tiny model on

the

margin

of

the

dimpled

water,

shining

in

the

sun.

2

Descended

into

，

by

the

winding

mule- tracks

it

is

a

perfect

miniature of a primitive seafaring town; the saltest, roughest,

most piratical little place that ever was seen. Great rusty iron

rings

and

mooring-chains,

capstans,

and

fragments

of

old

masts

and

spars

，

choke

up

the

way;hardy

rough-weather

boats

，

and seamen's clothing

，

flutter in the little harbour

or are drawn out on the sunny stones to dry;on the parapet of

the

rude

pier,

a

few

amphibious- looking

fellows

lie

asleep

，

with their legs dangling over the wall

，

as though earth or water

were all one to them, and if they slipped in, they would float

away,

dozing

comfortably

among

the

fishes;the

church

is

bright

with

trophies

of

the

sea

，

and

votive

offerings,in

commemoration

of

escape

from

storm

and

shipwreck.

The

dwellings

not

immediately

abutting

on

the

harbour

are

approached by blind low archways

，

and by crooked steps, as if

in darkness and in difficulty of access they should be like holds

of ships, or inconvenient cabins under water; and everywhere

，

there is a smell of fish, and sea-weed, and old rope.

有些村庄，

所有居住的村民几乎都是渔民。

他们被巨大的船只拖

上海滩，形成一些荫凉，渔民会躺在那里休息

;

妇女和孩子们坐在那

里边织网边嬉闹，远眺大海。看到这样 的情景会令你感觉很快乐。有

一个叫卡莫格利亚的小镇，它的小海港在大路下面数百英尺 的地方。

3

水手们的家就在那里。 很久以前，他们拥有那里的沿海贸易船只，与

西班牙和其他地方进行贸易往来。

从大路上看去，

小海港就像是泛着

涟漪的大海边 缘上的一个小模型，

在阳光的照射下闪着光芒。

沿着蜿

蜒的骡车道下去，

你会发现它是一个原始航海小镇完美的缩影，

那将

是你生平所见的最有咸味、最粗野、最具海盗气息的小地方。大量锈

蚀的铁环、锚索、

绞盘和旧船桅的断片和碎屑堆满了道路。饱经 风浪

的船只和水手的衣服，

或是在小海港中摆动，

或是铺在阳光下的石头

上晾干。

在粗糙的码头护墙上 ，

几个像两栖动物一样的家伙正躺在那

里睡觉。他们的腿悬挂在 墙外，似乎对他们来说无所谓水与陆。如果

掉入水中，他们就漂走，在鱼儿们之间舒服地 磕睡一会。海上战利品

和祭祀的贡品醒目地摆在教堂里，

这是为 了纪念水手们从暴风雨和船

难中的逃生。

水手们的房屋不是直接 与海港相接，

而是通过隐蔽而低

矮的拱门和弯曲的台阶逐步接近 ，

如同在黑暗和艰难中，

他们摸索进

入 船舱或不便的水下房仓的通道一样。

到处是鱼腥味、

海藻和破绳 索。

The

coast-road

whence

Camoglia

is

described

so

far

below,is famous, in the warm season

，

especially in some parts

near Genoa, for fire-flies. Walking there on a dark night,[have

seen

it

made

one

sparkling

firmament

by

these

beautiful

insects:so that the distant stars were pale against the flash and

glitter

that

spangled

every

olive

wood

and

hillside,

and

pervaded the whole air.

从滨海大 道可以远远地看到下面的卡莫格利亚。温暖的季节里，

4

< /p>

卡莫格利亚，尤其是热那亚附近的那些地方，以萤火虫而出名。漆黑

的夜晚在那里漫步，我看到那些美丽的昆虫使天空闪闪发光

:

那闪烁

的光芒点缀了每片橄榄树林和每座小山丘，

照亮了整个天 空，

连远处

的星星也黯然失色。

It

was

not

in

such

a

season,

however,

that

we

traversed

this road on our way to Rome. The middle of January was only

just past, and it was very gloomy and dark weather; very wet

besides. In crossing the fine pass of Bracco, we encountered

such a storm of mist and rain

，

that we travelled in a cloud the

whole

way.

There

might

have

been

no

Mediterranean

in

the

world

，

for

anything

that

we

saw

of

it

there

，

except

when

a

sudden

gust

of

wind

，

clearing

the

mist

before

it,

for

a

moment,showed

the

agitated

sea

at

a

great

depth

below,

lashing

the

distant

rocks

and

spouting

up

its foam furiously.

The

rain

was

incessant;

every

brook

and

torrent

was

greatly

swollen;and

such

deafening

leaping,

and

roaring,

and

thundering of water, I never heard the like of in my life.

然而，在我们前往罗马经过这里时，却没赶 上这样的季节。此时

正值一月中旬，天气阴郁，还很潮湿。在横越美丽的伯拉科关口时，

我们遭遇了浓雾和暴风雨，

以至于整个旅途都是阴郁的天气。< /p>

我们根

本看不到地中海的存在，只有突然的一阵狂风吹走眼前浓雾 的那一

刻，才能看到下面很深的澎湃海水，抽打着远处的岩石，猛烈地喷出

5

它的泡沫。雨不停地下着，

< br>每一条小溪和急流都迅速地涨起来，这样

双耳欲聋的撞击声、咆哮声和轰鸣声，是 我从未听到过的。

Hence

，

when

we

came

to

Spezzia

，

we

found

that

the

Magra

，

an unbridged river on the high-road to Pisa, was too

high to be safely crossed in the Ferry Boat, and were fain to

wait

until

the

afternoon

of

next

day,

when

it

had,

in

some

degree, subsided. Spezzia

，

however, is a good place to tarry at;

by reason

，

firstly, of its beautiful bay;secondly, of its ghostly

Inn;thirdly, of the head-dress of the women, who wear, on one

side of their head, a small doll's straw hat, stuck on to the

hair; which is certainly the oddest and most roguish head-gear

that ever was invested.

当我们到达斯培西亚时，

发现马 格拉河水位太高，

以至于乘渡船

不能安全过河。马格拉河上又没 有通往比萨的桥梁。于是，我们欣然

接受了事实，等第二天下午水势稍平时再过河。不过 ，斯培西亚却是

个滞留的好地方。首先是因为它那美丽的海湾，其次是恐怖的客栈，

最后则是那里女性的头饰。

女人们在头的一侧，

都佩戴一顶玩偶草帽，

这种草帽的确是那种最怪异、最顽皮的设计。

The Magra safely crossed in the Ferry Boat-the passage is

not by any means agreeable, when the current is swollen and

strong-we arrived at Carrara, within a few hours. In good time

next morning, we got some ponies, and went out to see the

6

marble quarries.

我们乘渡船安全地渡过了马格拉河

;

当水流湍急、河水上涨时，

渡河一点也不令人惬意

< br>;

数小时后，我们到达卡拉拉。第二天早上，

我们找来了 几匹小马去参观采石场。

They are four or five great glens, running up into a range

of lofty hills, until they can run no longer, and are stopped by

being

abruptly

strangled

by

Nature.

The

quarries,

or

"caves,

”

as they call them there, are so many openings,

high up in the hills, on either side of these passes

，

where they

blast

and

excavate

for

marble:

which

may

turn

out

good

or

bad:may make a man's fortune very quickly, or ruin him

by the great expens of working what is worth nothing. Some

of

these

caves

were

opened

by

the

ancient

Romans,

and

remain as they left them to this hour. Many others are being

worked

at

this

moment;

others

are

to

be

begun

tomorrow,

next week

，

next month;others are unbought

，

unthought of and

marble enough for more ages man has passed since the place

was restored to

，

lies hidden everywhere:patiently awaiting its

time of discovery.

采石场从四五个巨大的峡谷，

向 上一直延伸到一群高山上，

直到

被大自然的鬼斧神工挡住去路， 不能再延伸为止。采石场，或者当地

人们所谓的“窑洞”

，其实 就是在山上的很多洞穴。人们可以在这些

7

洞穴中的任何一个洞口爆炸，开凿大理石。这种开采运气可好可坏，

它可以使一 个人暴富，也可以使一个人倾其所有，血本无归。这些山

洞有些是古罗马人开采的，至今 仍保留着被遗弃时的样子

;

另外有许

多 山洞是新近开采的

;

有一些可能会在明天、下周、下个月开始开 采

;

还有的尚未被人承包，未被考虑到。自这里被修复以来，就 有足够多

的大理石隐藏在各处，供未来的人开采

:

耐心地等待被发现的时刻。

Carrara, shut in by great hills, is very picturesque and bold

Few

tourists

stay

there;and

the

people

are

nearly

all

connected,in one way or another, with the working of marble.

There are also villages among the caves, where the workmen

live. It contains a beautiful little Theatre

，

newly built; and it is

an interesting custom there

，

to form the chorus of labourers in

the

marble

quarries,

who

are

self-taught

and

sing

by

ear.

I

heard

them

in

a

comic

opera

，

and

in

an

act

of

"Norms";and

they

acquitted

themselves

very

well;unlike

the

common

people

of

ltaly

generally,

who

(with

some

exceptions

among

the

Neapolitans)

sing

vilely

out

of

tune, and have very disagreeable singing writes.

卡拉拉城为群山环抱， 风景独特，地势险峻。很少会有游客在那

里逗留。这里的人，或多或少几乎都与大理石开 采相关联。有些村庄

也坐落在这些石窟中，

开采大理石的人就住 在那里。

村里还有一座漂

亮的小剧院，是不久前刚刚建成的。在 那里有一个有趣的习俗，就是
