落花生的三种译文

许地山·《落花生》英译

刘士聪；张培基；杨宪益、戴乃迭译

我们屋后有半亩隙地。

母亲说：

“让它荒芜着怪可惜，既然你们那么爱吃花生，就辟来做花生园罢。

”我们几姊弟和几个小丫头都很喜欢——买种的买种，动土的动土，灌园的灌园；过不了几个月，居然收获了！

妈妈说：

“今年我们可以做一个收获节，也请你们爹爹来尝尝我们的新花生，如何？

”我们都答应了。

母亲把花生做成好几样的食品，还吩咐这节期要在园里底茅亭举行。

那晚上的天色不大好，可是爹爹也到来，实在很难得！

爹爹说：

“你们爱吃花生么？

”

我们都争着答应：

“爱！

”

“谁能把花生的好处说出来？

”

姊姊说：

“花生的气味很美。

”

哥哥说：

“花生可以制油。

”

我说：

“无论何等人都可以用贱价买它来吃；都喜欢吃它。

这就是它的好处。

”爹爹说：

“花生的用处固然很多；但有一样是很可贵的。

这小小的豆不像那好看的苹果、桃子、石榴，把它们底果实悬在枝上，鲜红嫩绿的颜色，令人一望而发生羡慕的心。

他只把果子埋在地底，等到成熟，对容人把他挖出来。

你们偶然看见一棵花生瑟缩地长在地上，不能立刻辨出它有没有果实，非得等到你接触他才能知道。

”

我们都说：

“是的。

”母亲也点点头。

爹爹接下去说：

“所以你们要像花生，因为他是有用的，不是伟大、好看的东西。

”我说：

“那么，人要做有用的人，不要做伟大、体面的人了。

”爹爹说：

“这是我对于你们的希望。

”

我们谈到夜阑才散，所有花生食品虽然没有了，然而父亲的话现在还印在我心版上。
