迎着阵雨和阳光

迎着风和光,迎着阵雨和阳光,它转动着,吼叫着,猛烈地、迅速地、平稳地、确信地向远方开去,向更远的地方开去。巨大的堤坝和宏伟的桥梁像一束一英寸宽的阴暗的光线闪现在眼前,然后又消失了。它向远方,更远的地方开去,向前,永远向前地开去,瞥见了茅舍,瞥见了房屋、公馆、富饶的庄园,瞥见了农田和手工作坊,瞥见了人们,瞥见了古老的道路和小径(当它们被抛在后面的时候,看去是那么荒凉,渺小和微不足道——它们也确实如此——)、在难以制服的怪物——死亡的轨道上,除了瞥见这些东西之外,又还有什么别的呢?
它尖叫着,Fake Designer Handbags,呼吼着,卡嗒卡嗒地响着,向远方开去;它重新投入地面,以狂风暴雨般充沛的精力和坚韧不拔的精神向前奔驶;在黑暗与旋风中它的车轮似乎倒转,猛烈地向后面退回去,直到射向潮湿的墙上的光辉显示出,它的顶部表面正像一条湍急的溪流一般向前飞奔过去。它发出了欢天喜地的尖叫声,呼吼着,卡嗒卡嗒地响着,又一次进入了白天和经过了白天,急匆匆地继续向前奔驰着;它用它黑色的呼吸唾弃一切,有时在人群聚集的地方停歇一分钟,一分钟以后他们就再也看不见了;它有时贪婪无厌地狂饮着水,当它饮水的喷管还没有停止滴水之前,它就尖叫着,呼吼着,卡嗒卡嗒地响着,开向紫红色的远方去了!
当它急急匆匆、不可抗拒地向着目标奔驰的时候,它尖叫、呼吼得更响更响了;这时它的道路又像死亡的道路一样,厚厚地铺盖着灰烬。周围的一切都变得黑暗了。在很下面的地方是黑暗的水池,泥泞的胡同,简陋的住宅。附近有断垣残壁和坍塌的房屋,通过露出窟窿的屋顶和破损的窗子可以看到可怜的房间,房间中显露出贫困与热病的各种惨状;烟尘、堆积的山墙、变形的烟囱、残破的砖头和废弃的灰浆,把畸形的身心关在里面,并且堵挡住阴暗的远方。当董贝先生从车厢窗户望出去时,他没有想到,把他运载到这里来的怪物只不过是让白天的亮光照射到这些景物上面,它没有制造它们,也不是它们发生的原因。这是恰当的旅程终点,也可能是一切事物的终点——它是多么破落与凄凉。
因此,当他沿着那条思路想下去的时候,那个残酷无情的怪物仍然出现在他眼前。一切事物都暗淡地、冷酷地、死气沉沉地看着他,Moncler Outlet,他也同样地看着它们,他到处都看到与他的不幸相似的地方。周围的一切事物都毫无怜悯心地庆贺着对他的胜利,nike shox torch 2,不论这种庆贺采取什么形式,它都伤害与刺痛了他的高傲与妒嫉心;特别是当它与他分享他对那死去的孩子的热爱或参与他对他的回忆的时候,他的痛苦就格外强烈。
在这一次旅行中有一张脸孔经常出现在他的浮思漫想之中;前一天夜间他曾看见它,link,它也看见他,它上面的两只眼睛虽然被泪水弄模糊了,而且立即被两只发抖的手捂住了,但是却觉察到了他的灵魂。他在旅程中看到它就跟昨天夜间的
Chapter 21
New Faces

The MAJOR, more blue-faced and staring - more over-ripe, as it were, than ever - and giving vent, every now and then, to one of the horse's coughs, not so much of necessity as in a spontaneous explosion of importance, walked arm-in-arm with Mr Dombey up the sunny side of the way, with his cheeks swelling over his tight stock, his legs majestically wide apart, and his great head wagging from side to side, as if he were remonstrating within himself for being such a captivating object. They had not walked many yards, before the Major encountered somebody he knew, nor many yards farther before the Major encountered somebody else he knew, but he merely shook his fingers at them as he passed, and led Mr Dombey on: pointing out the localities as they went, and enlivening the walk with any current scandal suggested by them.
In this manner the Major and Mr Dombey were walking arm-in-arm, much to their own satisfaction, when they beheld advancing towards them, a wheeled chair, in which a lady was seated, indolently steering her carriage by a kind of rudder in front, while it was propelled by some unseen power in the rear. Although the lady was not young, she was very blooming in the face - quite rosy- and her dress and attitude were perfectly juvenile. Walking by the side of the chair, and carrying her gossamer parasol with a proud and weary air, as if so great an effort must be soon abandoned and the parasol dropped, sauntered a much younger lady, very handsome, very haughty, very wilful, who tossed her head and drooped her eyelids, as though, if there were anything in all the world worth looking into, save a mirror, it certainly was not the earth or sky.
'Why, what the devil have we here, Sir!' cried the Major, stopping as this little cavalcade drew near.
'My dearest Edith!' drawled the lady in the chair, 'Major Bagstock!'
The Major no sooner heard the voice, than he relinquished Mr Dombey's arm, darted forward, took the hand of the lady in the chair and pressed it to his lips. With no less gallantry, the Major folded both his gloves upon his heart, and bowed low to the other lady. And now, the chair having stopped, the motive power became visible in the shape of a flushed page pushing behind, who seemed to have in part outgrown and in part out-pushed his strength, for when he stood upright he was tall, and wan, and thin, and his plight appeared the more forlorn from his having injured the shape of his hat, by butting at the carriage with his head to urge it forward, as is sometimes done by elephants in Oriental countries.
