【导读】　《黎明踏浪号》是英国作家C.S.刘易斯，于20世纪50年代所著《纳尼亚传奇》系列小说第四部。该书讲述了暑假里，爱德蒙和露西住在哈罗德舅舅家，和表弟尤斯塔斯住在一起。有一天，墙上的一幅有帆船的油画忽然将他们拉进了画中，他们在船上遇到了凯斯宾国王，他正出航寻找被叔叔驱逐的骑士们。 The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (excerpt) There was a boy called Eustace Clarence Scrubb, and he almost deserved it.His parents called him Eustace Clarence and masters called him Scrubb.I can't tell you how his friends spoke to him, for he had none.He didn't call his Father and Mother “Father” and “Mother”， but Harold and Alberta. Eustace Clarence liked animals, especially beetles, if they were dead and pinned on a card.He liked books if they were books of information and had pictures of grain elevators or of fat foreign children doing exercises in model schools. The story begins on an afternoon when Edmund and Lucy were stealing a few precious minutes alone together.And of course they were talking about Narnia, which was the name of their own private and secret country.Most of us, I suppose, have a secret country but for most of us it is only an imaginary country.Edmund and Lucy were luckier than other people in that respect.Their secret country was real.They had already visited it twice; not in a game or a dream but in reality.They had got there of course by Magic, which is the only way of getting to Narnia.And a promise, or very nearly a promise, had been made them in Narnia itself that they would someday get back.You may imagine that they talked about it a good deal, when they got the chance. They were in Lucy's room, sitting on the edge of her bed and looking at a picture on the opposite wall.It was the only picture in the house that they liked.Aunt Alberta didn't like it at all (that was why it was put away in a little back room upstairs), but she couldn't get rid of it because it had been a wedding present from someone she did not want to offend. 《黎明踏浪号》(节选) 有个男孩名叫尤斯塔斯·克拉伦斯·斯克罗布，他几乎是名副其实。他父母叫他尤斯塔斯·克拉伦斯，老师叫他斯克罗布。我不知道他朋友怎么跟他说话，因为他一个朋友也没有。他对自己父母不叫“父亲”和“母亲”，却管他们叫哈罗德和艾贝塔。 尤斯塔斯·克拉伦斯喜欢动物，尤其喜欢甲虫，喜欢死掉而钉在厚纸板上的甲虫。他喜欢看书，喜欢看知识性的书，书里有插图，画着谷仓，或胖胖的外国孩子在模范学校里做体操。 本书故事开头说的是，有一天下午，爱德蒙和露茜偷偷单独在一起过上宝贵的片刻工夫。他们谈的当然是纳尼亚了，这是他们专有的秘密地方的名字。我看，我们多半人都有一个秘密的地方，不过，就我们来说，那只不过是个想象中的地方罢了。这一点上，爱德蒙和露茜可比别人幸运。他们的秘密地方是真的。他们已经去过两回了；不是在游戏中去的，也不是在睡梦中去的，而是在现实中去的。他们到那里去当然是靠魔法，因为这是到纳尼亚去的唯一办法。他们在纳尼亚时就有约在先，或者近乎约定，今后总有一天他们要回去。读者可以想象他们一有机会自然就大谈特谈纳尼亚了。 他们在露茜屋里，坐在她床边，瞧着对面墙上的一幅画。这是屋里他们唯一喜欢的一幅画。艾贝塔舅妈根本不喜欢这幅画(所以才把这画放到楼上一间小后房里)，可是她又没法扔掉这幅画，因为这是她不想得罪的某人送给她的一份结婚礼物。 知识积累 pin/pɪn/vt.(用钉等)钉住；别住 imaginary/ɪ'mædʒɪnəri/adj.想象中的；假想的；虚构的 offend/ə'fend/vt.触怒；得罪，冒犯 They had got there of course by Magic, which is the only way of getting to Narnia. 【分析】　此句为主从复合句。which引导限制性定语从句。of course为插入结构。 文化链接 　　《黎明踏浪号》是C.S.刘易斯所著《纳尼亚传奇》系列小说的第四部，该系列以其丰富的想象力和深刻的主题意义而闻名。这部作品首次出版于1952年。刘易斯的《纳尼亚传奇》系列被认为是对后世幻想文学产生了重要影响的作品之一，而《黎明踏浪号》作为其中的一部分，自然也继承了这一传统，为后来的幻想文学作品树立了典范。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
