【语篇导读】

本文讲述男孩奥古斯特入校参观的经历,借三位同学的言行,展现不同待人态度,凸显善意与尊重的主题。

【逐段精读】

1【课文原文】Jack Will(杰克·威尔), Julian(朱利安), Charlotte(夏洛特), and I went down a big hallway(走廊) to some wide stairs(楼梯). No one said a word as we walked up to the third floor(三楼).

【参考译文】杰克·威尔、朱利安、夏洛特和我穿过宽敞走廊走向宽阔楼梯,一行人登上三楼时全程无人说话。

【本段大意】四人安静前往教学楼三楼。

2【课文原文】When we got to the top of the stairs, we went down a little hallway full of lots of doors. Julian opened the door marked(标注) 301.

【参考译文】抵达楼梯尽头,走入遍布房门的短走廊,朱利安推开标有301的房门。

【本段大意】朱利安打开301年级教室房门。

3【课文原文】“This is our homeroom(年级教室),” he said, standing in front of the half-opened door. “We have Ms. Petosa(佩托莎老师). They say she’s okay, at least for homeroom. I heard she’s really strict(严格的) if you get her for math(数学), though.”

【参考译文】“这是我们的年级教室。”他站在半开的门前说道,“班主任是佩托莎老师,大家说她对待年级课很和善,但她的数学课十分严厉。”

【本段大意】朱利安介绍班主任,谈及老师不同课堂的处事风格。

4【课文原文】“That’s not true,” said Charlotte(夏洛特). “My sister had her last year and said she’s totally nice.”

【参考译文】“并非如此。”夏洛特反驳,“我姐姐去年上她的课,说她待人十分友善。”

【本段大意】夏洛特否定朱利安对老师的评价。

5【课文原文】“Not what I heard,” answered Julian, “but whatever.” He closed the door and continued walking down the hallway.

【参考译文】“我听到的说法不一样,不过无所谓。”他关门,沿走廊继续前行。

【本段大意】朱利安不认同对方观点,继续带领众人参观。

6【课文原文】“This is the science lab(科学实验室),” he said when he got to the next door. And just like he did two seconds ago, he stood in front of the half-opened door and started talking. He didn’t look at me once while he talked, which was okay because I wasn’t looking at him, either. “You won’t know who you have for science until the first day of school, but you want to get Mr. Haller(霍勒先生). He used to be in the lower school(低年级校区). He would play this giant tuba(大号) in class.”

【参考译文】走到隔壁房门,他介绍这是科学实验室,和之前一样站在门前介绍,全程未看向我,我也没有看他。开学才能确定科学任课教师,所有人都希望分到霍勒先生的班级,他曾任教低年级,常在课堂吹奏巨型大号。

【本段大意】朱利安介绍实验室与受欢迎的科学老师,刻意回避与主角对视。

7【课文原文】“It was a baritone horn(上低音号),” said Charlotte.

【参考译文】“那乐器是上低音号。”夏洛特纠正道。

【本段大意】夏洛特纠正乐器名称。

8【课文原文】“It was a tuba!” answered Julian, closing the door.

【参考译文】“就是大号!”朱利安一边关门一边反驳。

【本段大意】朱利安坚持自身看法并关上房门。

9【课文原文】“Dude, let him go inside so he can check it out,” Jack Will told him, pushing past Julian and opening the door.

【参考译文】“让他进去看一看吧。”杰克·威尔挤过朱利安推开房门。

【本段大意】杰克主动开门,允许主角进入实验室参观。

10【课文原文】“Go inside if you want,” Julian said. It was the first time he looked at me.

【参考译文】“想进就进去。”这是朱利安第一次正视我。

【本段大意】朱利安同意主角进入实验室,首次看向主角。

11【课文原文】I shrugged(耸肩) and walked over to the door. Julian moved out of the way quickly, like he was afraid I might accidentally touch him as I passed by him.

【参考译文】我耸肩走向门口,朱利安迅速躲闪,生怕我经过时碰到他。

【本段大意】主角走向实验室,朱利安下意识躲避,显露排斥态度。

12【课文原文】“Nothing much to see,” Julian said, walking in after me. He started pointing to a bunch of stuff around the room. “That’s the incubator(孵化器). That big black thing is the chalkboard(黑板). These are the desks(课桌). These are chairs. Those are the Bunsen burners(本生灯). This is a gross science poster. This is chalk(粉笔). This is the eraser(黑板擦).”

【参考译文】“这里没什么可看的。”朱利安跟着走进屋内,逐一介绍实验器材:孵化器、黑板、课桌椅、本生灯、海报、粉笔与黑板擦。

【本段大意】朱利安介绍实验室各类物品,态度疏离。

13【课文原文】“I’m sure he knows what an eraser is,” Charlotte said, sounding a little like Via(维娅,主角姐姐).

【参考译文】“他肯定认识黑板擦。”夏洛特开口维护主角,语气像我的姐姐维娅。

【本段大意】夏洛特察觉朱利安刻意刁难,出言维护主角。

14【课文原文】“How would I know what he knows?” Julian answered. “Mr. Tushman(图什曼校长) said he’s never been to a school before.”

【参考译文】“我怎么清楚他懂什么?图什曼校长说他从前从未上过学。”朱利安回应。

【本段大意】朱利安解释自己行为的缘由。

15【课文原文】“You know what an eraser is, right?” Charlotte asked me.

【参考译文】“你知道黑板擦是什么,对吗?”夏洛特询问我。

【本段大意】夏洛特温柔确认主角的状态。

16【课文原文】I admit I was feeling so nervous(紧张的) that I didn’t know what to say or do except look at the floor.

【参考译文】我十分紧张,只能盯着地板,不知如何言语行动。

【本段大意】主角内心局促拘谨。

17【课文原文】“Hey, can you talk?” asked Jack Will.

【参考译文】“你可以说话吗?”杰克·威尔问道。

【本段大意】杰克主动搭话,确认主角能否交流。

18【课文原文】“Yeah.” I nodded. I still really hadn’t looked at any of them yet, not directly.

【参考译文】“可以。”我点头,依旧没有直视任何人。

【本段大意】主角小声回应,不敢抬头对视。

19【课文原文】“You know what an eraser is, right?” asked Jack Will.

【参考译文】“你认识黑板擦吧?”杰克再次发问。

【本段大意】杰克简单提问,缓解现场尴尬。

20【课文原文】“Of course!” I mumbled(小声嘟囔).

【参考译文】“当然认识!”我低声答道。

【本段大意】主角作答,打消众人顾虑。

21【课文原文】“I told you there was nothing to see in here,” said Julian, shrugging.

【参考译文】“我早就说了这里没什么可参观的。”朱利安耸肩说道。

【本段大意】朱利安印证自己先前的说法。

22【课文原文】“I have a question …,” I said, trying to keep my voice steady(平稳的). “Um. What exactly is homeroom? Is that like a subject?”

【参考译文】“我有个问题。”我努力稳住声音,“年级教室到底是什么?它属于一门学科吗?”

【本段大意】主角鼓起勇气询问年级教室的含义。

23【课文原文】“No, that’s just your group,” explained Charlotte, ignoring Julian’s smirk(坏笑). “It’s like where you go when you get to school in the morning and your homeroom teacher takes attendance(点名) and stuff like that. In a way, it’s your main class even though it’s not really a class. I mean, it’s a class, but—”

【参考译文】“它只是你的班级团体。”夏洛特无视朱利安的坏笑耐心解释,早上到校后大家在此集合,班主任负责点名,它近似主班级,却不开展授课教学。

【本段大意】夏洛特耐心解释年级教室的作用。

24【课文原文】“I think he gets it, Charlotte,” said Jack Will.

【参考译文】“他已经听懂了。”杰克说道。

【本段大意】杰克打断冗长的解释。

25【课文原文】“Do you get it?” Charlotte asked me.

【参考译文】“你明白了吗?”夏洛特询问我。

【本段大意】夏洛特确认主角是否理解。

26【课文原文】“Yeah.” I nodded at her.

【参考译文】“明白了。”我朝她点头。

【本段大意】主角表示已经听懂解释。

27【课文原文】“Okay, let’s get out of here,” said Jack Will, walking away.

【参考译文】“我们离开这里吧。”杰克向外走去。

【本段大意】杰克提议结束实验室参观。

28【课文原文】“Wait, Jack, we’re supposed to be answering questions,” said Charlotte.

【参考译文】“等等,我们的任务是解答他的疑问。”夏洛特提醒杰克。

【本段大意】夏洛特提醒二人的陪同任务。

29【课文原文】Jack Will rolled his eyes a little as he turned around.

【参考译文】杰克转身,略微翻了个白眼。

【本段大意】杰克略显无奈停下脚步。

30【课文原文】“Do you have any more questions?” he asked.

【参考译文】“你还有其他问题吗?”杰克问道。

【本段大意】杰克继续询问主角是否存有疑问。

31【课文原文】“Um, no,” I answered. “Oh, well, actually, yes. Is your name Jack or Jack Will?”

【参考译文】“没有了,等等还有一个问题,你的名字是杰克,还是杰克·威尔?”

【本段大意】主角询问杰克姓名的构成。

32【课文原文】“Jack is my first name. Will is my last name.”

【参考译文】“杰克是名,威尔是姓氏。”

【本段大意】杰克解释自己的姓名结构。

33【课文原文】“Oh, because Mr. Tushman introduced you as Jack Will, so I thought …”

【参考译文】“校长介绍你时连用两个称呼,我误以为那是完整名字。”

【本段大意】主角说明产生疑问的原因。

34【课文原文】“Ha! You thought his name was Jackwill!” laughed Julian.

【参考译文】“你居然以为他名叫杰克威尔!”朱利安大笑。

【本段大意】朱利安嘲笑主角的小误会。

35【课文原文】“Yeah, some people call me by my first and last name,” Jack said, shrugging. “I don’t know why. Anyway, can we go now?”

【参考译文】“总有人连名带姓称呼我,不清楚缘由,我们现在可以离开了吗?”杰克耸肩说道。

【本段大意】杰克不在意误会,催促众人前往下一处。

36【课文原文】“Let’s go to the performance space next,” said Charlotte, leading the way out of the science room. “It’s very cool. You’ll like it, August.”

【本段大意】夏洛特带领众人前往表演中心,氛围趋于缓和。
