英语短文翻译
一天夜里,大部分人都睡去以后,我和一位朋友仍兴奋地走在回家的路上,四下无人,寂静无声。之前我们去听了一场音乐会,这时正谈论着刚才的所见所闻。
“今天他才是最炫的一个,整晚都那么炫!”朋友说其中之一。“之前还完全没什么名气,现在呢?上千个年青人都争着给他写情书、送巧克力!”
“我也觉得他不错,”我说“但也不至于收那么多情书,其实,他有一首歌还真唱得不怎么样。”
“哪首?”朋友问“你唱给我听听。”
我于是马上笨拙地学着他那样子唱了起来。
“看在老天的份儿上,别唱了!”朋友侧目瞪着我。“谁听谁害怕,方圆几里之内的人都得给你惊起来不可。惊起来还不算完,准以为你是个醉汉,弄不好连我也算进去。那你就等着警察来抓咱吧。”
“我管那些!”我说。结果越说越来劲,干脆假装吊着醉汉嗓门唱了起来。“我不管,警察真来了又怎么样?”说完用最大的嗓门接着断开的地方继续唱下去了。
不一会儿,后面传来了沉重的脚步声,出乎意料,当真来了一位警察。他打开他的记事本,郑重其事地看着我……
“是这样的,先生。”他说“您的唱功实在太非凡了,不知经哪位名师指点?正巧我在给女儿找一位声乐老师,希望您能收下她。请把尊姓大名和您的地址留下,我及内人可与阁下通信商讨事宜。”
One evening, long after most people had gone to bed, a friend and were making our way merrily home through the silent and almost deserted streets. We had been to a musical, and were talking about the people we had seen and heard in it.
“That show made him a star overnight,” said my friend about one of them. “He was completely unknown before. And now thousands of teenagers send him chocolates and love letters by every post. ”
“I thought him quite good ,” I said, “but not worth thousands of love letters daily. As a matter of face, one of his songs gave me a pain.”
“What was that?”my friends asked.”Sing it to me.”
I burst into a parody of the song,
“Be quiet, for heaven’s sake” My friend had given me an astonished look. “You’ll give everybody a fright and wake people up for miles around. Besides , they’ll think you a drunkard, and me too, probably. And then we’ll have a policeman after us.”
“Never mind,” I said, intoxicated more with the sound of my own voice than with the few drinks we had. “I don’t care. What does it matter?” and I went on singing him the latest tunes at the top of my voice.
Presently there came behind us the sound of a heavy tread , and before you could say”Jack Robinson”, a policeman was standing in front of me, his notebook open, and a determined look on his face.
“Excuse me , sir.” He said “you have a remarkable voice, if I say so Who taught you singing? I’d very much like to find someone who can give my daughter singing lessons. Would you be kind enough to tell me your name and address? Then my wife or I would drop you a line and we could discuss the matter.”
