Speak Softly, Love
柔声诉爱意
歌手：Snow Rose
歌词翻译：人在深圳2008-5-6

有的情歌，听了会牙酸。
有的情歌，听了会厌烦。
但这首歌，我百听不厌。
尽管它。。深情到令我有些少少的不自然。。
然而，还是喜欢。

视频: Speak Softly, Love

Speak softly, love
柔声细语吧，亲爱的
and hold me warm against your heart
拥暧我在你心里
I feel your words, the tender trembling moments start
感受你的话语，感觉令人轻颤的时刻到来
We're in a world, our very own
我们沉浸于自己的世界
Sharing a love that only few have ever known
共沐爱河，只有少数人才能懂得

Wine-colored days warmed by the sun
美酒般的日子在阳光下温暧
Deep velvet nights when we are one
天鹅绒般的深夜里我们融合为一

Speak softly,love
柔声细语吧，亲爱的
so no one hears us but the sky
除了天空，没有人能够聆听
The vows of love we make will live until we die
我们爱的誓言，将持续到生命的终点
My life is yours and all becau-au-se
我是你的，只因为
You came into my world with love so softly love
你走进我的世界，带着如此温柔的爱

Sperm Whale.  Shame on man to give me such a name thinking my head is full of semen and not oil.
Sperm Whale（精子状鲸类，抹香鲸）——真为给我起这个名字的人感到羞愧……他们认为我的头部装满了精液，而非鲸油！

It's high time mankind learned who I really am.  I live in a world that my ancestor’d conquered long before man made fateful contact with my family and staked their claim to the riches of our southern seas.
人类早就该了解真正的我了。远在人类与我的家族发生宿命的联系并将我们富庶的南部海域视为已有之前，我的祖先就已征服了海洋这片我所居住的世界。

My odyssey begins in the crushing cold abyss where creatures survive in permanent darkness including the largest deep sea monster of all.
在极度冰冷的深海，所有生物，包括大王乌贼，都生活在无尽的黑暗中。我的探险之旅就从这里开始。

For millions of years, the freezing waters of the southern seas remained our domain.  Man never ventured this far.
数万年来，南部海洋冰冷的海水令我们的乐园免于侵扰。人类的探险尚未如此遥远。

But that wasn't to last.  What corner of the planet has man not sought to explore and call his own, including the Roaring Forties, a wild expanse of air and water in the Southern Indian Ocean which is my home?
但这样的日子已一去不复返。包括我的家园——南印度洋上海风与海水相拥狂舞的“咆哮西风带”，这个星球难道还有任何人类未曾涉足亦未视为已有的角落吗？

For so long, the creatures of the deep, thousands of feet under water may as well not have existed.  Who better to explore this alien world than me?  I dive deeper than practically any other mammal, 10,000 feet or more for over an hour at a time.
时光荏苒，在数千英尺深海中生活的生物真可谓年华虚度。谁能比我更适于探险陌生的领域？我甚至比其它任何哺乳动物潜地更深：仅用一小时，我就能连续下潜一万英尺，甚至更深。

山姆：哦，玛莎•菲尔德斯通医生，那很难想像。

Dr. Marsha: What are you going to do?
玛莎医生：那你打算怎么办？

Sam: Well, I’m going to get out of bed, every morning, and breathe in and out all day long and then after a while, I won’t have to remind myself to get out of bed in the morning and breathe in and out and then after a while, I won’t have to think about how I had it great and perfect for a while.

玛莎医生：山姆，告诉我您妻子有何特别之处？

Sam: How long is your program? Well. It was a million tiny little things, and when you add them all up, it just meant that we were supposed to be together. And I knew it. I knew it the first time I touched her. It was like coming home, only to no home I’d ever known. I was just taking her hand, to help her out of a car, and I knew it. It was like...
山姆：你的节目有多长？哦，有成千上万的小事，如果把它们相加，就意味着我们前生注定。我知道这些。在第一次接触时就知道，就像回家，回到一个前所未知的家。我只是握着她的手，扶她下车，但我知道这一切。就像...

Castles
关于城堡

<本译文来自长发乱舞的翻译博客>

Long ago castles were built to protect people from enemies.
很久以前，人们修筑城堡用于防止敌人侵袭。

The first castles were made of wood. They were small and were built on hills. There was a high fence all around them.
最初的城堡为木制，规模较小，建筑在山上，周围是高耸的围墙。

Families lived in huts, in the field below. When the enemy attacked, they all ran to the castle.
很多人生活在城堡围墙根下的小屋里，当敌人来犯时，人们便躲进城堡。

With time, castles were made of rocks. They were much stronger and bigger than the first castles. They had very thick walls. It was difficult for the enemy to attack this type of castle. Castles were built to protect important places. They were built on mountains and near rivers and seas.
后来出现了采用石料的城堡，比早期的城堡规模更大且更牢固，围墙非常厚。对敌人来说，攻击这类城堡更为困难。这种城堡一般建在山上，靠近河流或大海，用于保护战略要地。

There are many old castles in the world today. Many are open to public. It is interesting to visit old castles and see how people lived in the past.
时至今日，世界上仍然残留着很多古堡。多数古堡向公众开放。参观古堡并了解过去的人们如何在城堡里生活是一件非常有趣的事。

Every castle had a dungeon. It was a cold, dark place for prisoners.
每座城堡都有一个冰冷阴暗的地牢，用于关押囚犯。

Many people lived and worked in a castle. There were noblemen with their families, warriors, servants, jesters and musicians. It was like a village.
许多人居住在城堡里并在这里工作。这里有贵族及其家人、扈从、仆人、弄臣及乐师们。一座城堡如同一座村邑。

Old Castles of Great Interest
知名古堡

1.Bamburgh Castle was built in the 6th century in Northumberland. It was built on a high cliff. It is surrounded on three sides by the sea. Many films were made here.
Bamburgh堡于6世纪建于诺森伯兰郡。它位于一个高耸的峭壁上，三面环海。很多电影在这儿拍过外景。

2.Carlisle Castle was built at the end of 11th century by William Rufus. It is near Scotland. At first, it was a wooden castle. In 1122, Henry I built walls of stone.
卡莱尔堡由威廉鲁弗斯于11世纪末建成，临近苏格兰。这座城堡最初为木制，1122年，亨利一世为其修筑了石墙。

3.Dover Castle was originally a fort, built by the Celts. Then the Romans built a lighthouse, which you can still visit. Later, Bishop Odo of Bayeus built the great Dover Castle.
多佛堡原是凯尔特人修筑的一座要塞，后来罗马人在此修建了灯塔，这座灯塔现在您仍可看到。后来，Bayeus的Odo主教又在此地修建了著名的多佛堡。

Where was King Arthur Buried?
亚瑟王葬身何处？

<本译文来自长发乱舞的翻译博客>

At the end of the 12th century, the monks of an abbey in Glastonbury discovered a grave. On the tombstone of this grave there were these Latin words:
12世纪末，在格拉斯顿伯里（Glastonbury）的一个修道院里，修道士们发现了一座古墓，墓碑上用拉丁文写着如下字样：

Hic Jacet Arthurus Rex Quonδam Rexque Futurus
(Here lies Arthur, once King and King to be)
这里长眠着阿瑟，他曾经是国王，未来某时也将是国王

Was this King Arthur’s grave?
这就是亚瑟王的坟墓吗？

Before dying, Arthur said to Bedivere, “I am going to Avalon.” In a writing of the 12th century, the word Avalon meant “the island of apples.”
在亚瑟王临死时，他对贝德维尔说：“我要去阿瓦隆（Avalon）了。”在一部12世纪的作品中，阿瓦隆（Avalon）这个词是“苹果岛”的意思。

The name Glastonbury came from the name of a peasant, Glasteing. This peasant built a house near a big apple tree. Later, a church was built here. The name Glasteing became Glastonbury, near the River Severn. Today, Glastonbury is in the county of Somerset.
格拉斯顿伯里（Glastonbury）的名字出自于Glasteing的一个农夫，这位农夫将自己的家建在一棵很大的苹果树旁。后来，这里修建了一座教堂，Glasteing于是改为格拉斯顿伯里（Glastonbury），靠近Severn河。格拉斯顿伯里（Glastonbury）位于现在的Somerset郡。

The Latin words, “Rexque Futurus” mean that King Arthur will perhaps return one day, if his people need him!
拉丁文“Rexque Futurus”意味着亚瑟王有朝一日将重返故国，如果他的人民需要他！
