　　這部經(jīng)典小說(shuō)中，語(yǔ)言平淡簡(jiǎn)易，但是字里行間彌漫著不可抹去的孤獨(dú)氣息。今天我們一起來(lái)讀讀開(kāi)頭的選段，學(xué)一學(xué)作者是如何用精練的筆調(diào)來(lái)描寫(xiě)人的外表的吧：
　　　in the town there were two mutes, and they were always together. early every morning they would come out from the house where they lived and walk arm in arm down the street to work。
　　鎮(zhèn)上有兩個(gè)啞巴，他們總是在一起。每天清早，他們從住所出來(lái)，手挽手地走在去上班的路上。
　　注釋?zhuān)?br>　　arm in arm：手挽手
　　the two friends were very different. the one who always steered the way was an obese and dreamy greek. in the summer he would come out wearing a yellow or green polo shirt stuffed sloppily into his trousers in front and hanging loose behind. when it was colder he wore over this a shapeless gray sweater。
　　兩個(gè)伙伴很不一樣。帶路的是那個(gè)非常肥胖、迷迷糊糊的希臘人。夏天，他出門(mén)時(shí)總是穿著黃色或綠色t恤——前擺被他胡亂地塞進(jìn)褲子里，后擺松松垮垮地垂著。 天冷一些的時(shí)候，他就在襯衫外面套上松松垮垮的灰毛衣。
　　注釋?zhuān)?br>　　dreamy：形容人迷迷糊糊的
　　polo shirt stuffed sloppily into his trousers：襯衫胡亂塞進(jìn)褲子里
　　stuff：動(dòng)詞，填、塞
　　sloppy：馬虎的，胡亂的
　　a shapeless sweater：我們說(shuō)那種松松垮垮沒(méi)有型的衣服，就是shapeless
　　his face was round and oily, with half-closed eyelids and lips that curved in a gentle, stupid smile。
　　他的臉圓圓、油油的，眼皮半開(kāi)半閉，彎曲的嘴唇顯出溫柔而呆滯的笑容。
　　注釋?zhuān)?br>　　lips that curved in a gentle, stupid smile：curve在這里的使用很不錯(cuò)，可以記住
　　the other mute was tall. his eyes had a quick, intelligent expression. he was always immaculate and very soberly dressed。
　　另一個(gè)啞巴是高個(gè)，眼睛里透出敏捷和智慧。他穿得很樸素，總是一塵不染。
　　注釋?zhuān)?br>　　his eyes had a quick, intelligent expression：眼神敏銳
　　soberly dressed：sober本意為“人清醒的”，這里可以表示穿著干凈整潔
