双语有声阅读：旅途

One day you finally knewwhat you had to do, and began,though the voices around youkept shoutingtheir bad advice--有一天，你终于知道，什么是你必须得做，并开始去做，虽然你周围的声音，一直喊出，其各种糟糕的建议——though the whole housebegan to trembleand you felt the old tugat your ankles¹.

“Mend my life!”

each voice cried.

But you didn’t stop.

You knew what you had to do,虽然整个房子，开始颤抖，你亦感到那条旧绳索，绊住了你的脚踝。

“修补我的人生！”

每个声音都在哭喊。

但你并没停止。

你知道什么是你必须得做的，though the wind priedwith its stiff² fingersat the very foundationthough their melancholywas terrible.

It was already lateenough, and a wild night,and the road full of fallenbranches and stones.

虽然风用它僵硬的手指，直往根基，撬捣，虽然它们的忧郁，着实可怕。

天色，已经很晚，这是个疯狂的夜晚，路上满是倒下的，断枝和石头。

But little by little,as you left their voices behind,the stars began to burnthrough the sheets of cloudsand there was a new voicewhich you slowlyrecognized as your own,that kept you companyas you strode³ deeper and deeperinto the world,determined to dothe only thing you could do--determined to savethe only life you could save.

但渐渐地，当你将它们的声音抛在身后，星星开始穿透云层，散发光辉，一个新的声音出现了，你慢慢，意识到，那是你自己的声音，它伴随着你，伴你步步，深入世途，决心去做，你唯一能做的事——决定去拯救，你唯一能拯救的生命。
