The Nightingale and the Rose
"Here at last is a true lover," said the Nightingale. "Night after night have I sung of him, though I knew him not: night after night have I told his story to the stars and now I see him. His hair is dark as the hyacinth(风信子)-blossom, and his lips are red as the rose of his desire; but passion has made his face like pale ivory, and sorrow has set her seal upon his brow."
"Here, indeed, is the true lover," said the Nightingale. "What I sing of, he suffers: what is joy to me, to him is pain. Surely love is a wonderful thing. It is more precious than emeralds (翡翠), and dearer than fine opals (蛋白石). It may not be purchased of the merchants, nor can it be weighed out in the balance for gold."

The heart is a lonely hunter
心是孤独的猎手
Carson McCullers
The two friends were very different. The one who always steered the way was an obeseand dreamy Greek. In the summer he would come out wearing a yellow or green polo shirt stuffed sloppily into his trousers in front and hanging loose behind. When it was colder he wore over this a shapeless gray sweater.
两个伙伴很不一样。带路的是那个非常肥胖、迷迷糊糊的希腊人。夏天,他出门时总是穿着黄色或绿色T恤——前摆被他胡乱地塞进裤子里,后摆松松垮垮地垂着。 天冷一些的时候,他就在衬衫外面套上松松垮垮的灰毛衣。

注释：
dreamy：形容人迷迷糊糊的
polo shirt stuffed sloppily into his trousers：衬衫胡乱塞进裤子里
stuff：动词，填、塞
sloppy：马虎的，胡乱的
a shapeless sweater：我们说那种松松垮垮没有型的衣服，就是shapeless
His face was round and oily, with half-closed eyelids and lips that curved in a gentle, stupid smile.
他的脸圆圆、油油的,眼皮半开半闭,弯曲的嘴唇显出温柔而呆滞的笑容。
注释：
lips that curved in a gentle, stupid smile：curve在这里的使用很不错，可以记住
The other mute was tall. His eyes had a quick, intelligent expression. He was always immaculate and very soberly dressed.
另一个哑巴是高个,眼睛里透出敏捷和智慧。他穿得很朴素,总是一尘不染。
注释：
His eyes had a quick, intelligent expression：眼神敏锐
soberly dressed：sober本意为“人清醒的”，这里可以表示穿着干净整洁
