英译汉,急用
Keeper of the spring
The late peter marshall was an eloquent speaker and for several years served as the chaplain of the US senate.He used to love to tell the story of the “keeper of the spring,”a quiet forest dweller who lived high above an austrian village along the eastern slope of the alps .
The old gentleman had been hired many years eariler by a young town councilman to clean away the debris from the pools of water up in the mountain crevices that fed the lovely spring flowing through their town.With faithful,slient egularity,he patrolled the hills,removed the leaves and branches,and wiped away the silt that would otherwise have blocked and polluted the fresh flow of water.The village soon became a popular attraction for vacationers,Graceful swans floated alonbg the crystal clear spring,the mill wheels of various businesses located near the water turned day and night,farmlands were naturally irrigated,and the view from restaurants was picturesque beyongd description.
哇,有点长哦.
护泉人/泉水守护者
已故的美国参议院牧师彼得·马歇尔(PeterMarshall)是一位口才甚佳的演说家,他很喜欢讲述一个“泉水守护者”的故事.话说在阿尔卑斯山东坡上,奥地利村庄上面的森林里曾住着一位老者.多年前一个年轻的镇译员聘用他负责清除山涧水池中的杂物,泉水从那里头流出,直达他们的小镇.他默默地在山上巡回,清扫树叶和树枝,除去可能淤塞和污染清新泉水的泥沙.逐渐地,村庄成了度假胜地.美丽的天鹅在晶莹的泉水上游动,附近水车日夜转动,农田得到天然水源的灌溉,从小镇的餐厅望出去,风景如画,语言难以形容.
补充故事的下半段:
许多年过去了,一天早上镇议会举行半年一度的会议.审查预算时,某人的视线停在鲜为人注意的泉水守护者薪水上面.这位负责财务的先生说:“这老头是谁?我们为何每年聘用他?没人看见他.这位在山里巡逻的陌生人对我们没啥用处,我们并不需要他!”经过投票,众人一致同意取消了老先生的职位.
起先数周并没有什么改变.直至秋天来临,树木开始落叶,折断的小树枝掉落在水池里,阻碍了泉水的奔流.一天下午,有人注意到泉水出现了些微棕黄的颜色.到第二个星期,泉水更显得阴暗.再过一周,泉水又多了一层浮在水面的泥土,不久更发出恶臭.水车转得比以前慢了,终于嘎然止住.天鹅和游客皆不复返,各样疾病开始侵袭村庄.
尴尬的议会急忙召开特别会议,他们知道他们犯了一个重大错误,决定重新聘用泉水的老守护人……
数周之后,生命的河水又恢复了清洁.轮子重新转动,新生命再次注入这阿尔卑斯山边的小村庄里.
这故事也许不可思议,但绝非没有根据.它蕴含着一个生动的、与当今时代息息相关的隐喻.
有的人在这世界上,就好像泉水守护者与村庄的关系一样.那保持健康、加添美味的一小撮盐,和那照亮四周、带来希望的亮光,看来微不足道,或根本没有必要·.…·但缺少了它们的社会,真的需要神的怜悯!你可知道,少了泉水守护者的村庄,正足以代表那缺少盐与光的世界
