英语美文:在海边At the Edge of the Sea
The shore is an ancient world. Yet it is a world in itself, and each time I enter it, I gain new awareness of its beauty and deeper meaning.
海滨是个古老的世界。然而，它本身又是另一个世界，每次我走进它，都会对它的美和内涵产生新的体会。
The shore makes me think of a pool hidden within a cave. One can visit it rarely and briefly, when the tide allows one, and perhaps that is what gives it some of its special beauty.
海滨会让我想起藏在洞穴里的小水坑。偶尔，如果海潮允许的话，你可以欣赏到它，只是一小会儿。或许，正是由于罕见和短暂，才赋予了它一种独特的美。
One day I got up early, hoping for a glimpse of the pool.
有一天，我早早地起床，期待着能一睹小水坑的风采。
The tide was to be on the ebb early in the morning. When I looked out, the sky was full of gray dawn light, duanwenw.com but the sun had not yet risen. Across the bay the moon was a luminous1 disc in the western sky, suspended above the dim line of the distant shore. A gull flew by above the spruces. Later, as I stood near the entrance to the pool, I saw rosy light appearing in the sky. From the base of the rock on which I stood, a moss-covered ledge stuck into deep water. The ledge was the path to the small hidden cave and its pool. Occasionally a swell rolled smoothly over the rim of the rock. But the intervals4 between such swells were long enough for me to see the cave.
清早，海潮正要退去。太阳还没有升起来，我看到天空满是灰色的晨光。海湾对面，西边的天空中，月亮像一个玉盘，悬挂于远处灰暗的海岸线上。一只海鸥飞过云杉。之后，当我站在小水坑的入口附近，我看到天空中呈现出玫瑰色的光。从我所站立的岩石的底部，一个满是苔藓的暗礁伸进深水里。英语短文这个暗礁是通往那个洞穴和隐藏在洞穴之下的水坑的小路。偶尔，会有一朵浪花卷上岩石。但是浪花之间的时间间隔已经足够让我看到那个洞穴。
The moment I looked into the cave, a little spider was coming down, suspended by a thread. It reached down to touch its own reflection, duanwenw.com making itself seem not to be one spider, but two. The beauty of the reflected images, and of the pool itself, was the beauty of things that are ephemeral5, existing only until the sea would return to fill the little cave again.
我往洞穴里窥看的时候，一只小蜘蛛从洞穴上掉了下来，悬挂于一条线上。它悬下来，触到自己的倒影，使它看起来不是一只而是变成了两只蜘蛛。这倒影和小水坑的美丽转瞬即逝，当海潮再次涨起来填满洞穴之后就不复存在了。
