  經典英語對話短文篇3

  J: What are you writing, Tina?

  j:你在寫什麼,湯姆?

  T: I'm writing a dairy.

  T:我在寫日記。

  J: Oh, keeping a dairy is a good habit, but I'm not used to it.

  J:噢,記日記是一個好習慣,但我就設有這個習慣。

  T: Influenced by Samuel Pepys, I started to keep a dairy last year.

  T:受塞繆爾佩皮斯的影響,我從去年開始寫日記。

  J: Samuel Pepys? The guy who recorded great events, such as the Great Plague of London, the Second Anglo-Dutch War and the Great Fire of London in his diary?

  J:塞繆爾佩皮斯?就是那個在日記中記錄了很多大事件,如倫敦大瘟疫、第二次 英荷戰爭和倫敦大火的人嗎?

  T: Yes, it's him. The Diary of Samuel Pepys is the collected works of his diaries. But The Diary of Samuel Pepys was collected by someone else, unlike other diarists of his time; Pepys had no aspirations for publication.

  T:是的,就是他。《塞繆爾佩皮斯日記》是他的日記集。和那時的日記作者不同的 是,《塞繆爾_-佩皮斯日記> 是由其他人收集整理的,佩皮斯本人並不打箄出版。

  J : And this freed him up to paint a frank portrait of life in London at the time of the Restoration.

  J:這使得佩皮斯有精力來描繪_幅真實的王政復辟時期的倫敦生活畫卷。

  T: Yes, you're right. Throughout the work, which spans from 1660 to 1669,Pepys offered his firsthand sources on the major events during the Restoration, including his own role in helping to bring Charles II back from exile to become king.

  T:這些記載讓***塞繆爾佩皮斯日記》既有歷史意義又有文學價值。

  J: In some degree, Pepys's dairy is not so much a record of events as a re-creation of them, Pepys's achievement rests on his close observation and total recall of detail. It is the small touches that achieve the effect.

  T:清新靈活的語言是他成功的另一個原因。佩皮斯 用速記法寫日記,寫得很快,而且這種速記法只有 他自己才能識別。佩皮斯的文字不注重形式語法,經常是單詞的首字母堆積在一起,準確地反映了他 對於某個時刻的印象。

  J:碰巧的是,在佩皮斯寫日記的那10年裡,倫敦遭受了兩次大災難——1665年大 瘟疫和1666年大火。

  T: He wrote the dairy in a cryptic code, which was his own variation on an existing form of shorthand.

  T:佩皮斯是用密碼寫日記的,是他對一種現有速記法的變形。

  J; Fearing that he was going blind from writing, Pepys stopped recording entries in his diary in 1669 and had his entire diary bound for his personal library, which he left to Magdalene College, Cambridge University his alma mater.
