Problems with the Translation of Venice 1. At first glance，it all seems an alchemists illusion. 初看；初见；第一瞥，第一次与威尼斯悄然邂逅；……幻想；（建筑）幻觉；幻影；幻象；……乍看上去，这一切像炼丹术士的幻境，令人难以置信。Take 118 flat little islands，stitch them together with nearly 400 humpbacked bridges，crisscross the landscape with 28 miles of serpentine canals. L18型平岛；“量词”问题；缝合；驼背桥；28米长；蛇道运河；地形、风景交错；……拈来118座平坦的小岛，用将进400座拱桥把它们连成一体，长达28英里的蜿蜒曲折的运河纵横交错，蛛网般布满全城。Cram this improbable space with 120 Gothic，Renaissance and Baroque churches，as many bell towers， 64 convents and monasteries, a patchwork of flag-stoned piazzas. 奇异的地方；不可思议的地方；/许多钟楼；/和寺院拼凑成铁环广场；国旗广场；披萨；在这块弹丸之地竟挤着120座哥特式、文艺复兴式及巴罗克式的教堂及120座钟楼、64所男女修道院，还有为数众多的铺着石板的广场。 Line the canals with more than 400 pearly palaces. Add pigeons and cats, lots of them.超过；/珍珠般的；似珍珠的；/雕刻着运河两岸排列着400多座金碧辉煌的殿宇。另有不计其数的鸽子和猫儿。But Venice is, above all，a metropolis of waterways，a city whose Main Street is the extravagant，200-foot wide Grand Canal，whose people either walk or float, but never drive.缅因街；/奢侈的；/200英寸；/漂浮……威尼斯不愧为一座水上都城，市内最主要的“大街”便是那条宽200英尺的壮观的大运河，人们要么徜徉在河畔，要么漫游在水上，而决无可能驱车奔驰往来。I glimpse a sleek，shiny gondola，regal as a black swan，skimming expertly between high，dark walls. Behind wrought-iron gates, a small，cobble-stoned courtyard，polished with age，almost suffocates in its lush jungle of ferns and foliage. 一个；/尊贵；/飞过；/打磨/窒息；/丛林……我看见一叶叶光亮可鉴的新月形扁舟，如同一只只雍容华贵的黑色天鹅，灵巧地在幽暗的高墙之间穿行而过。在铁门的后面，那一个个铺着鹅卵石的庭院，隐藏在郁郁葱葱的蕨类植物及茂密的树荫之中，虽年代久远，却光可鉴人。The smell of roasting coffee wafts from a tiny cafe. I hear the distant call of the gondoliers：Gondola！Gondola! “吊船；缆车”我听到远处船夫们的呼喊声：“贡多拉！贡多拉！”And as I watch head-scarfed housewives fastidiously picking produce from a bobbing fruit-and-vegetable boat，a laundry barge chugs imperiously past with stacks of freshly ironed hotel linen.围巾；/从面前经过的蔬菜水果船上；/亚麻我观看着包着头巾的家庭主妇们从一只扑扑作响的蔬菜水果船上挑挑拣拣购买农产品，正好此刻一只洗衣大船喀嚓喀嚓一掠而过，船上装着一叠叠刚洗烫好的旅店床单台布。These are the simple things.简单的事物街头即景/二三事以上这些仅是小景偶拾。Europe has/thousands and thousands of kilometres of /beautiful coastline, /which nature has
