到灯塔去

她的体内搏动着创造成功的狂喜，如同一股泉水的节奏，刚才尽情地展开，现在慢慢停止涌动。

原文：...while there throbbed through her, like a pulse in a spring which has expanded to its full width and now gently ceases to beat, the rapture of successful creation.“spring”马、王都译为“泉水”，瞿没译出。其实这里是指“弹簧”：就像弹簧弹到极限，继而慢慢停摆。

如果你站在山巅俯瞰漫长岁月的流逝……

waste在本段出现两次the long wastes of ages, the waste of years，马、瞿、王不约而同都译为“（时间的）流逝”。从上下文看，既然比喻为极地探险，waste可能就是指“荒原”，世世代代存在的荒原。

原文：Some one had blundered.拉姆齐说的这句话反复出现，是接下来几章比较重要的一句。马爱农：有人捅了娄子。瞿世镜：什么人又闯祸啦。王家湘：有人闯祸了。其实，这句话和前两句（Stormed at with shot and shell，Boldly we rode and well）一样，仍然是拉姆齐在朗诵丁尼生的诗《轻骑兵队的冲锋》。这首诗描写1854克里米亚战争六百英国轻骑兵因接到错误命令去俄国阵地送死的惨状。三位译者应该都没有好好查阅原诗，误认为这是拉姆齐自己说的话，导致译文难以嵌入整诗（特别是瞿世镜这句）。另外，该诗的只言片语时而并未以明显引文的方式出现在以下几章，若不了解背景，整个译文都要捏把汗了。该诗中英文版如下（该句标有***）。轻骑兵队的冲锋 黄杲炘译　　半里格，半里格， 　　往前冲杀半里格， 　　骑兵六百名 　　冲进死亡的谷地。 　　“向前冲，轻骑兵！” 　　他说，“向炮冲击！” 　　骑兵六百名 　　冲进死亡的谷地。 　　“向前冲，轻骑兵！” 　　可有人丧气？没有。 　　尽管士兵们知道 　　是错误命令。 ***　　他们可不能抗命， 　　他们可无法弄清， 　　只能奉命去牺牲。 　　骑兵六百名 　　冲进死亡的谷地 　　炮打在他们右面， 　　炮打在他们左面， 　　炮打在他们前面， 　　排炮在轰鸣， 　　冒着炮火和霰弹， 　　他们善骑又勇敢。 　　骑兵六百名 　　冲进地狱的大门， 　　冲进死神的牙关。 　　出鞘马刀亮晃晃， 　　挥舞空中闪寒光， 　　劈下在炮手身上； 　　向一支大军冲击， 　　举世都震惊。 　　他们冲破了防线， 　　杀进炮台的硝烟； 　　哥萨克和俄国人 　　挡不住马刀猛劈， 　　乱掉了队形。 　　这时他们往回驰—— 　　不满六百名。 　　炮打在他们右面， 　　炮打在他们左面， 　　炮打在他们后面， 　　排炮在轰鸣； 　　在炮火和霰弹下， 　　战马和英雄倒下。 　　打得漂亮的他们 　　冲出死神的牙关； 　　他们中的生还者， 　　六百人中的生者 　　冲出地狱门。 　　时间能湮没英名？ 　　哦他们这次狂冲！ 　　举世都震惊。 　　致敬，向这次冲锋！ 　　致敬，向这六百名 　　豪迈轻骑兵！The Charge of the Light BrigadeAlfred, Lord Tennyson1.Half a league, half a league, Half a league onward,All in the valley of Death Rode the six hundred."Forward, the Light Brigade!"Charge for the guns!" he said:Into the valley of Death Rode the six hundred.2."Forward, the Light Brigade!"Was there a man dismay'd?Not tho' the soldier knew Someone had blunder'd:***Theirs not to make reply,Theirs not to reason why,Theirs but to do and die:Into the valley of Death Rode the six hundred.3.Cannon to right of them,Cannon to left of them,Cannon in front of them Volley'd and thunder'd;Storm'd at with shot and shell,Boldly they rode and well,Into the jaws of Death,Into the mouth of Hell Rode the six hundred.4.Flash'd all their sabres bare,Flash'd as they turn'd in air,Sabring the gunners there,Charging an army, while All the world wonder'd:Plunged in the battery-smokeRight thro' the line they broke;Cossack and RussianReel'd from the sabre stroke Shatter'd and sunder'd.Then they rode back, but not Not the six hundred.5.Cannon to right of them,Cannon to left of them,Cannon behind them Volley'd and thunder'd;Storm'd at with shot and shell,While horse and hero fell,They that had fought so wellCame thro' the jaws of DeathBack from the mouth of Hell,All that was left of them, Left of six hundred.6.When can their glory fade?O the wild charge they made! All the world wondered.Honor the charge they made,Honor the Light Brigade, Noble six hundred.Copied from Poems of Alfred Tennyson,J. E. Tilton and Company, Boston, 1870

马爱农：

怎么搞的？怎么搞的？

瞿世镜：“怎么啦？怎么回事？”原文“How's that”：a term used in cricket, appealing to the umpire, for a wicket（板球球员询问裁判“算不算出局”）板球规则我也不懂，只是觉得一定有问题查了一下。
