“可当她可怜巴巴地从我手中接过那双色吊带”
我觉得不是这意思，而是说：
rueful admission that。。。 是作者现在ruefully （沮丧?悔恨？）承认，当他给母
亲那根吊带时，他自己的想法，现在我们扯平了。。。。
lanyard 翻成吊带，总是看着别扭，我也没有更好的翻译，缀带？编织带？女生不是经
常做手工拿塑料绳编这种东西吗，中文叫什么？ |

发帖数: 79569 | 3 And here, I wish to say to her now,
is a smaller gift—not the worn truth
that you can never repay your mother,
but the rueful admission that when she took
the two-tone lanyard from my hand,
I was as sure as a boy could be
that this useless, worthless thing I wove
out of boredom would be enough to make us even.
我理解以上这是一句话：俺土人白话翻译：
现在，我想对她说的，
是一份更小的礼物 -- 不是那烂熟的事实
母亲是永远无法报答的，
而是要悔恨的承认，当她从我的手上
接过那根双色缀带的时候，
我小小的心中是那么确定
自己在百无聊赖中编出这个毫无用处的东西
足以上我们扯平了 |

moaning maytle, rueful and tearful.
no much progress on plot. and more loose ends were left in the end.
the interesting thing is chars were growing up.
ginny was cool, more assertive and forward.
ron was still childish and clownish.
luna was cute.
eventually there'll be three young couples, imo:
ron & hermoine; harry & ginny; neville & luna.
is this too obvious? jkr might surprise us. |

-Proverbs of Muad'dib
Despite the murderous nature of the plot he hoped to
devise, the thoughts of Scytale, the Tleilaxu Face Dancer,
returned again and again to rueful compassion.
I shall regret causing death and misery to Muad'dib, he
told himself.
He kept this benignity carefully hidden from his fellow
conspirators. Such feelings told him, though, that he found

发帖数: 5114 | 6 最近翻出阿西莫夫作品全集来重看，真挺有意思的，不仅囊括了他最早期那些名不见经
传的短篇，还有自己写的“创作感想”。看到TRENDS那一篇，居然发现他在1938年（当
时他还在读大学）成功预测成两件事：1）1940年第二次世界大战，2）1970年，人类登
月。
两件事都只差1年而已！
我一直觉得那个SF黄金时期的创作高峰,后来者很难翻越……
下面附TRENDS 的原文。
TRENDS
John Harman was sitting at his desk, brooding, when I entered the office
that day.
It had become a common sight, by then, to see him staring out at the Hudson,
head in
hand, a scowl contorting his face—all too common. It seemed unfair for the
little bantam
to be eating his heart out like that day after day... 阅读全帖 |
