华盛顿的盔甲第一卷：旅程（2022）

Beyond that, I hid not the ending.
除此之外，我没有隐瞒结局。
- Nor did you add any flourish to the extraordinary fact that the very next morning-
-你也没有给这个不寻常的事实，增添任何精彩，就在第二天早上...
- The Allegheny had, to quote said,
-引用在阿勒格尼河那段的原文，
"flourish-less report,"
“毫不夸张地报告，”
"shut up hard with ice"so that Colonel Washington, here,
“冻得都张不开嘴”以至于我们这位华盛顿上校，
and Mr. Gist, simply strolled across it.
和吉斯特先生，胜似闲庭信步。
- Aye.
是的。
That would be the weight of it.
这就是它的重要性。
- And, yet, that isn't quite, as you say, the "weight of it," is it, Colonel?
-不过，这还不是，如你所说的，“它的重要性”，对吧，上校?
- Please, Dear Doctor,
-拜托，亲爱的医生，
has the boy not narrowly escaped the hostilities of the Ohio Valley only to be besieged right here in the Governor's Palace.
这孩子不会是，刚侥幸逃脱了俄亥俄河谷的敌意，却又被围困在总督的宫殿里吗?
- I am quite certain, my dear,after such a narrow escape,young Washington has grown quite impenetrable
我敢肯定，亲爱的，在经历了这么一次死里逃生之后，年轻的华盛顿已经变得听不懂
to words fired by a musket blast of gentlemanly inquiry.
那些绅士们质询的“枪林弹雨”了。
Pray tell, Doctor, what say you?
请告诉我，医生，你说呢?
- I say that I spoke to Mr. Christopher Gist earlier today.
-我说，我今天早些时候和克里斯托弗·吉斯特先生谈过。
I have been treating the poor fellow, he's been stricken with a nasty case of frostbite.
我一直在治疗这个可怜的家伙，他得了严重的冻伤。
And, according to Mr. Gist,Colonel Washington fancies the timely occasion
根据吉斯特先生的说法，华盛顿上校在当时的场合下幻想出，
of a shut up Allegheny to be an act of Divine Providence,
在阿勒格尼受阻，是上帝的旨意，
as opposed to the simple,scientific operation of water at thirty-two degrees Fahrenheit.
而不是面对32华氏度的水，采取完全科学的行动。
- Yes, indeed.
-正是。
- And how, George, do you respond to this indictment
-乔治，你如何回应这种控诉，
that some would say to be unreasonable reasoning in the age, of reason, sir?
有些人会说，这是理性时代里的“非理性推理”，先生?
- With bygone earnest I should expect.

- As do I for this port.

Find it to be quite pleasing indeed.

-上校，我是詹姆斯.克雷克医生。
I've been assigned to serve as chief surgeon in your Provincial Regiment, sir.

although I sincerely hope I will not be in need of your services, Doctor.
虽然我真诚地希望，我不需要你的服务，医生。
- Aye, Colonel.
-没错，上校。
- I shall, between musket fire and war whoops,look forward to the continuance of our discourse.
在枪林弹雨和战争的喧嚣中，我期待着我们继续交谈。
Now if you'll excuse me, I have some matters to attend.
如果你不介意的话，我还有点事要办。

- I trust not a man endowed with a flourishment of words,
我不相信一个天生语言丰富的人，
his deeds tend to fall short of the monuments constructed by his vocabulary.
他的行动，往往达不到他的词汇，所建造的丰碑。
- If that be a compliment, dear lady,
-如果这算是恭维的话，亲爱的女士，
I attribute my lack of flourish not to any virtue,
我不把我的贫乏归因于任何美德，
but to an inferior education,which I, daily, labor to improve.
