发表人:Rhine_Stone(红雨)

修改:dongyj

特别声明,本文宣扬了一种本人极不赞同的生活态度。要是欧有那么好的nymph做mm, hehe,连G也可以不考的。

坐定之后,Steven nimbly地用一把notched nipper夹起兔子放到篝火里烤起来。这种吃法一直是他的routine nocturnal activity。时至隆冬,在这个noisome的山洞里, nipping wind劲吹。面对这种情况,Steven自有他的nirvana,在过了15年的nomadic生活以后,他对艰苦生活已经很nonchalant了。看着翻腾的篝火,他不禁陷入了meditation。

Steven是个nonconformist,或者更确切的说是个nihilist,他从不nitpick mudane的polity。在他的心目中,管oligarchy的主席不过是个nominal nomenclature的问题,世间名利都不过是nugatory的oddments,没有任何nuance.他热爱nomadic的生活,爱得如此之深以至于毫无regret的离开了Lydia。Lydia,一个在他心中多么nondescript的名字阿。(忠实于原著,窃以为用在这里不合适,请真正大虾指正)有多久没见过Lydia了,Steven闭上眼睛recall,该有15年了吧,15年,能把个nubile girl变成个peak woman。

Lydia真是个novelettish nymph呀。她学的是obstetrics,尽管只是个novice,她在家乡已经是nonesuch (nonpareil)了。她是如何在那么短的时间成notability的一直是个mystery,只有Steven知道那是因为他用了家传的nostrum,一种用noxious novocaine配置的药。那时候,Steven爱她爱得如此之深,很obliging为他做任何事,几近于obsequious,每每送些ointment讨好她,还跟她暗送ogle。

他们爱得如此之深。然而,就在开始谈nuptials论嫁的时候,occur 了一件occurrence, Steven偶然在nunnery前遇到了个八十多岁的occult老oblate。这个oblate故作numinous地对他说:“你被这odious的mundane world nonplused, (obfuscate, obscure, obsession)住了,你已身陷noose。不要再noncommittal了,你早晚还是要做个nomad的,那是你的destiny。”说完这番话,就转身走了。

Steven这人比较迷信,信numerology,相信obsolescent的老octogenarian说的总是对的,应该绝对obedient。他因此决定打破与Lydia的oath,nullify 这个nuptial。 他知道这样抛弃自己的obligation肯定会使自己objectionable,但他并不在乎旁人的obloquy,他相信人是oblivious的,过不了多久,所有这一切都会被obliterated,而成为oblivion。

他留下一首ode开始了自己nomadic的生活。他也因此成了全村最notorious的 oafish/obtuse man。

一阵nostalgia之情袭上心头,他不禁扪心自问:“我到底是numb呢还是太过obdurate和obstinate了?”

一阵odoriferous的odor emanate 出来,stimulated了他的oesophagus把他拉回了现实。兔子熟了。Steven sighs: I was a nomad, I am a nomad, and I will be a nomad. But I won't regret my choice.

疯狂医院

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

本故事单词不全,须参考补充smth精华区里Digni_Tea(小创)的作品。]

     dongyj

     如有同道G友,烦请不吝email赐教,本人信箱dongyj@263.net.  

一点omen都没有,我就得了ophthalmia,实在受不了ordeal,只好去see the doctor。

因为我住在outskirts,附近只有一家医院可去。在一个长满了orchid的orchard里旁边,有处paling,paling里面有座outlandish的建筑。

医院里,有一人身着opalescent,正兀自读一本关于paleolithic ornithology的paleography。

请问,您是ophthalmology科的张大夫么?

不是,张大夫听operetta去了,今晚有个pageant,看oratorio是他的palate。

那您一定是王大夫了。

也不是,他过度overwrought,回去睡觉了,这里是orthopedics我是管orthodontics的。

“Oh, where can I find them two.”

“You just wait here. ” the man showed me into the inner room. I am so sleepy than I soon got into dreams, until a quarrel woke me up. (过渡段)

“你怎敢如此opinionated/obstreperous,这可是个坏overture。”

“两年来,你一直overridden我的意见,站在人前做opine的pundit总是你,我那么努力地为你工作,可是却总被你overshadowed。你impersonated成我的ostensible很outgoing pal,外面的人总以为我们的关系很opaque,其实你却总是outrage我的感受,难道你想一辈子overwhelm我?”

“你可别忘了我为你opprobrious的过去做了些什么,我知道你是个有opulent经验的医生,我也知道自己有时候是overbearing了一点,但是,我亲爱的pal,我能帮你erase your past,很overt我也能证明你要为那个case负onerous。”

“ Oh, my god.”一听这话,王医生的勇气就全oozed away了。

“I know that is my fault.当要用painkiller的时候,我用了overdose 的opiate/opium,结果害了那孩子,是你帮我了erase那个case,但我为此已经付出了太多太多。一直以来,你也太omnivorous了。“

“那还远远不够,I saved your life, so your life is mine. 我是omnipotent而omniscient的。你永远别梦想做otiose的反抗,跟我palavering,也甭想outwit我,你outstrip不出我的palm(手掌心)的。老老实实做个oyster吧。你得明白,只有我才能做你的pacifier。”

Oh, what an opprobrium in such a palatial /panache place. I couldn’t help wondering. I must leave here hurriedly and report it to the police.

关于palm的一些思考:

palm:1.手掌心。 2.象形引申〉棕榈叶,象征〉胜利。 3.功能引申,藏...于掌中, 蒙混 4.palmy估计是繁荣昌盛的产物都一把攥不过来了,marked by prosperity。

A Cold Day

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

原创:Shell_Wang(梦里飞花)

改编:dongyj

与欧一贯的风格很不一致,不过也是一片好文章哦。要是有人也这样帮欧把前面的那些故事改编一下就好了。

冬寒料峭,校园里,身穿panoply的pedestrians行色匆匆hastily。然而Jane,一个peaky而又pathetic的女孩却步履维艰,mistral lashes到她pallid的脸上,biting的寒冷penetrates骨,她却好像完全没有palpable似的,也许,somatic的痛苦可以palliate她心中的痛。

Jane是个wretched的女孩,她是一个破碎家庭的长女,她父亲对男孩特别的partiality,然而,她唯一的弟弟却因为母亲难parturition而落下个paralyzed的毛病,她那个parochial的父亲变得几近paranoid,老说是因为Jane照顾不周,因此对她很hatred,动辄发peevish,为了一点点的peccadillo而pan她。对她很parsimonious,给她穿满是patches的衣服,吃pantry里剩下的过时pastry,好像她是个parasite似的。

Jane唯一的亲人,她的母亲,因为得了pancreas病而失业在家,只能领到paltry pension,自然不能跟她那个breadwinner父亲相争。她只能covertly给Jane一些东西去当铺pawn,Ironically的是,Jane觉得pawnbroker比他老爸还要亲切一点。

但昨天又出了件panic的事,她老爸因为peculated了公司的pelf而被penalized进了penitentiary,这会penitent都晚了。

“现在该怎么办呢?” Jane一边踢着路边的pebbles,一边陷入了pandemonium。她家本来就已经捉襟见肘in a pecuniary paucity,现在情况更糟了,也许很快就该当paupers,去乞求patricians的patronage了。

雪pelt而下,flakes pell-mell地落着。宿舍已在面前,Jane却pendulous犹豫了,“该不该进去呢,她们又要parody我了。”

宿舍里,姑娘们正在开parley讨论圣诞节party的particulars,panel正在争论该选哪种parquetry of the parquet。她们都是parvenus家女,pampered的很。她们经常对Jane表现出patent的snob,觉得她是pariah的paradigm。把他当成pandemic disease,避之唯恐不及,一不小心碰到了她,一定会赶紧来个pasteurized消毒。Jane总觉得宿舍就是一个pen,自己与别人不是peer,总像个improper parenthesis似的,在别人的panache面前她总有种humility的感觉。有时候她真想离开这儿去个有pellucid stream的乡村去当个pastor过一种pastoral的生活。

Jane一走进宿舍里面立刻静了下来。她径直走到暖气旁parch手套,尽管极力parries着其他姑娘的mock,她还是依稀peek到了她们pejorative的眼神。满心pathos的Jane朝窗外望去,看着patio的panorama,她感觉这儿似乎比外面还要冷。窗外,sculpture的上pedestal,一只小鸟正在寒风中trembling,多pitiful呀。

她真的没法理解自己的这些室友,她们学的是pediatrics,将来可是要做医生的呀,可他们真正最paramount的penchant却是money与patina,为什么他们看人只看stirp, status,与wealth呀?那是不公平的,她心底有一股怒火paroxysm,她记得在一本pamphlet里看到过作者对pantheon的panegyric,说everyone in the world are equal, are sons of the God.,但是,为什么呀为什么?

伫立窗前,Jane陷入了pensive,少顷,她缓慢而又坚定的道:God can't save me. It is I myself that can save me!!    ,窗外,雪已经停了,风景尚好,仿佛一幅rosered的pastel suffusing在天空。

武大家事

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

武家兄弟二人,老二武松是个peripatetic1的人,好peregrination,perennial 3在外。老大武大,老实巴交,不会pilfer不会pillage抢,靠每天上piazza卖pie度日。日子过得很penurious 2/ penury 4。但武大有个personable1的wife潘,武大对他很是permissive2,但她对这个pigsty一样的家很不满,因此态度peremptory5,脾气经常很peppery 1,老爱persiflage武大。

有天潘正在piazza上pensive,却被正perambulate1的西门庆看中。说起这个西门庆,可算得上个personage。此人打点着大大小小几家pharmaceutical的铺子,是清河一霸,有两大嗜好,一个是爱装pharisaic,充philanthropist4, 另一个就是philander美女,尤其是不pertain 2于他的美女。

这西门庆真可谓perspicacious2,一眼就看中了潘,待打听pertinent 6人等,得知潘是武大家人时,不禁哀叹便宜了那个philistine1。

西门庆很快就pester上了潘,时不时送一些peptic的perch1,给点perquisite1什么的。那潘本就有些perturbation1 ,很快就开始pervert对武大perfidious2 /perfidy 2了。这事开始还是penumbra,后来就pervade 2开来,搞得尽人皆perceive 4了。武大的perception4再差,也听到了一些perceptible4的personalities。开始他还能保持persistent4,后来再也无法persevere 4/persevering了,就对潘很phlegmatic2。

于是潘与西门庆就商量着如何害武大,他找了a pinch1 of pestilent pesticide 1,用pestle4在mortar里面研碎了。装到个phial里面,喂给武大吃了,武大吃了这顿pernicious3的饭,当场就perish 2了。他们用pigment 1涂了涂武大七窍流血的body,就给埋了。

这时忽然传来消息,说武二景阳冈打虎归来,刚上pier,这两位立刻像得了phobia似的,感觉到perilous/peril了,这武二可是个persnickety的角色,赶紧请了一群percussionist来唱threnody,装出很悲伤的样子。

武松是个很有piety2的人。他回家一看不禁很perplexed 4,因为哥哥身体一向很好突然perish 2实在不可percipient理解。尤其是嫂子总是periphrastic,背地里好像还有点perky,还说怕尸体perishable,给火化了。

夜里守灵,忽然一股阴风permeate 1进来。一个phantasmal的phantom对他说:“我死的好惨呢。” 武松虽然脾气petulant 3/pettish,但也粗中有细,头脑还算pellucid清楚的,感觉事出蹊跷,就peruse1了一下,世界上没有不permeable 2的墙,武松做了个pervasive 4的调查。终于发现了西潘二人所perpetrate2的perversity3罪行和他们的phony perjury 4。怒不可遏的武松直奔西门庆所在,西门庆一见他,当场吓得petrify 1了,被武松pierce2了个透心凉。

武松也因为法律观念淡薄而遭到了persecute 2,被带上pillory2发配边疆。

这就是perpetuated2的水浒故事。

A计划

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

话说晚清末年,盗匪横行。香港近郊冒出一群留plait1的pirate2,初始时他们还只是plunder1 一些piscatorial,后来胆子越来越大,竟然上岸打家劫舍抢porcupine1,甚至到plaza去抢名贵porcelain2。还动辄伤人。

受害者非常plaintive 2,只好plead3到官府,但不管这些plaintiff如何的plangent, 那些plush1的plutocracy1 全是些poseur1,只会pose出同情的样子说一些plausible 10而又pleonastic的platitude 3。原来官匪是一家,背地里他们早有plot4。这样的placebo3又不是medicine,当然没办法placate 11populace的愤怒,让他们placid 6下来。

花开两朵,各表一枝,香港城内有一piquant2的混混,平时打架斗殴,总干些pluck2人家鸡plumage/plume 的勾当,这一天得了podiatry不得不去看podiatrist1,躺在病床上。听到外面得了pneumonia的polemical 2pollster1在polemic讨论时局。就说到plutocracy1与pirate2横行, plebeian民不聊生。讨论的pivot是该找谁剿匪,有个poetaster就问了,看那些混混平时挺有pluck2的,不如postulate2他们去打pirate2吧。 pollster1叹口气说,别看这些混混平时挺pontifical1的,就凭他们那点piddling的本事,到了关键时候,都成了pliable1的poltroon,哪能指望他们呀?他们能不给大家找plague就不错了。混混被他这句话给pique2 (伤自尊了)/prod了,心里很是poignant 2,暗下决心一定要作出点样子来。

混混plenitude2研究了一下敌人,发现那些pirate2都住在海外孤岛的plateau 1的pinnacle上,岛上挖的有pitfall1,养的有pointer ,守卫还都配有pistol1,真真是凶险之地,连个plankton都混不进去。

混混ponder4了一下情势,觉得只能耍一些小ploy1,他了解到pirate2喜欢年末搞一些pompous 4的pomp/ pomposity1,请人演 pirouette 1,买plethora 3的酒,顿时计上心来,positiveness也来了。他招了些pithy人,藏在poky的pitcher1里,挤得像pod1似的,自己穿了件满是 pleat1的poncho1,划着小船就去了。pirate2问话,他就说pitcher1里装的全是potable1的美wine. 匪徒对这些ponderous 4的pitcher1毫不怀疑。很快就prowl进了匪穴。

plump的匪首和从人都喝得plastered正在哪儿possessed呢,一点点的portentous1 portend/ portent都没感觉到。混混和他的那些pith1,掏出poniard就poke1。结果一举成功。那些pirate2吓得pitch7都变了,很多人一直到posthumous都没搞明白他们那儿冒出来的,其他人发现陷入了plight,只好老老实实prostrate求饶了。

这会大家才意识到平时没能plumb2地plumb2出这些混混的真本事,赶紧请他们上podium1上座。连他们的老爸也为出了他们这样的posterity而pompous 4起来。

故事有点像A计划,又像周处除害,可别说欧是搞plagiarism1的pirate2呀。

首演Premiere

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

再过一小时,John就要在这座著名的剧院里开始他的premiere了。现在,站在剧院外面,呼吸着pristine4的空气,他禁不住陷入了meditation。

背景介绍;主角回顾

作为一个precocious2的孩子,John老早就梦想这一天了。但是有史以来,在这里表演一直是那些predominant2的大师们的prerogative2。  John是个勇于probing的人。他那个老是preach3说一切事情都应该遵循precept2的preceptor2曾经对他说:“如果你想在这里演出,prerequisite2就是你必须忘掉一切的predilection2与 proclivity3只表演那些最prevalent3的曲子。John不喜欢这种procrustean式的规矩,所以他总是被其他人prejudiced8。 没有演出premium作为proceeds7,他不得不在街头卖艺。他一直身处predicament1/ privation直到有一天遇到了Mike,一个的才德probity6兼备的prestigious1 pianist。“像你这样的prodigy4应该preserve起来,在这里表演实在太prodigal4了,” Mike说“你不该成为那些predators3的prey3。 我可以做你的proctor1来proffer你在大剧院里表演。不要再procrastinate2了,明天就开始吧。”然后就像是变prestidigitation一样,他到了这儿。

外界批评

剧院里面,两群人正在prattling1着即将进行的演出。一个prig1 prating说,按我的precognition来看,让这样一个年轻人在这里表演实在是太preposterous2了。

Mike实在是个prankster1,他怎么敢安排这样一次precarious2的演出呢,这会profane2了这座剧院也会成为Mike自己的precipice。一个pragmatist1 uttered出他的pretension1。

我跟你们有不同的preconception1,我曾经在街上听过他的演出,他是个能表演prepossessing音乐的非常potential4的年轻人,他的音乐极富imagination,与prosaic的表演大不相同。他不该被precluded3在这座剧院之外。给他这个机会他有一天一定会preeminent2的。至于Mike么,他会做为开了个把这个年轻人带进这家剧院的precedent4的precursor4而被人铭记。我只是有点担心他会不会因为太precipitate9/ precipitous2而准备不足。一位老predecessor5说。

我同意你的意见,谁也不是predestine的天才,在这里表演不该成为那些potentate与profiteers1的privilege2。另一个人说。

万事顺利,一切进行的正如premeditated2一样。经过认真的preening3/primp1,John看起来既prim又personable。 他的presenter1 Mike亲自充当演出的preside1。 在precise6介绍了一下以后。不须preamble2,prelude1就开始了。当那proficiency1的presto响起的时候,乐声立刻就preponderate了一切。剧场一下子静了下来。没人能再prevaricate2出任何pretext了。真是完美的音乐呀,每个人都被深深preoccupied, 烛光下,John的profile显得如此自信。

加里森敢死队

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

今天讲一个从raconteur1那里听来的quirky /ravishing2 quirk1。

二战期间,有一个名为Galson的suicide squad,每当德国鬼子听到它的名字,都会quail的quaver发抖。

这支squad是由四位勇士组成,号称quartet。

甲是个quick-witted2的pygmy,他擅长purloining,没有什么东西他拿不到,他真是个racy1 guy。

乙是个rafter1,他为养家糊口不得不勒索ransom2做了一回racketeer,而被put into jail。他精于箭法,他quiver1里的每一根arrow都可以于quiescency中杀人于无形。

丙是个radical3的士兵,他因为屡犯recidivism2军规而被判quarantined5。

丁就是Galson,他们的头了,他是个精于推理ratiocination1,善处关系rapport1的领导。他跟自己的这些heelers定了个reciprocal protocol。如果他们能成功完成任务,战后将被set free。

因为他的heelers都被纳粹rankling2起了rancor3,所以他们很rapture1就接受了这个protocol。

大部分的军官都把这个squad当成了quixotic3/rabid的主意。他们心怀raillery2地rebuked3说:“你怎能指望这些rebarbative rabble像英雄一样呢,他们太rambunctious1了,你最好quash1了这个计划吧。

但是Galson并不想仅为了这些quibble5而recant3自己的计划。他断然rebuffed1了这些quack2/ charlatan的诊断。在rebuttal1中,他说格兰特也不过就是个winebag,但他成功击溃了南军。不错,我这些heelers都是些quotidian3的rabble,但它们既不是quitters1也不是quisling1,他们没一个pusillanimous2的,他们都是人中quintessence。

现在他们正rallied起来讨论个新计划,Galson正在recapitulating2他们将要做的。“我们要做的就是pursue2敌人,穿越ravine与quagmire,破坏掉pylon1,像一把razor1切断敌人的purvey/purveyance。明白我的Purport了吗?”

穿上ragged1的raiment,他们就这样出发了。ravine像rebus1一样费了他们好大力气才找到那座pylon1。 pylon1旁有一个rampart1,乙悄悄杀了警卫,他们impersonated成警卫的样子,在pylon1下面放了个pyre1, 静静地等着敌人的到来。

不久有个ranger1先行赶到,他没发现什么异常现象,就毫无qualms3地走了。

不久,他们的quarry3,一长queue的敌人带着purvey就来了,Galson笑着说了一句pun:“草长得越密,越容易reap1”。

reactionary2的敌人刚刚quelled1了一个叛乱。ravenous1的敌人一边raving1一边走上了桥。甲点着了引爆炸药包炸了桥。rampant的敌人企图recede4。但很快他们就发现自己陷入了quandary1。没有ramification1可走了。机枪可是像reaper1一样怒rage2/rant/raspy,任何敢于recalcitrate的敌人都被干掉了。

当火被quenched3了以后,他们quaff3/potation酒直到喝干了所有的receptacle1 ,Galson用raucous的嗓音说,现在我们大家都可以recess2了。

隐士

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

丛林深处有位遁世的recluse,每日早晚,他只是reclaimed1自己那块开满了redolent2花朵的自留地。闲暇之时,他也会recumbently1躺在家里研究一下regimen1之道,或者为乡里乡亲开一场不收remuneration3的recital2聚会。他最常reiterated4的一句话是假如有来生reincarnation(来生),或者能rejuvenated1(返老还童),他仍会选择这样的生活。他对自己的过去讳莫如recondite2(深),很少愿意recounting1自己的reminisce2。只有当人们refurbishing1他家里那些残存的remnant1之时,你才能想象年轻时,他也曾经refulgent1。

  

原来此人曾经是一国之君,过着充满了rejoice2(v误用)的regal life。可惜他对recreation爱之致深,对regime3却心不在焉,相当remiss而又reckless3,有几个经常跟他一起rendering的repertoire1的演员因此小人得志。他gave rein to几个奸臣,自己终日纵情笙歌,不理朝中事务。当几个rectitude1(n 误用)的大臣remonstrated他的所作所为之时,他rent(撕裂)了人家的奏折,relegated6了他们的爵位,把他们贬到remote3的边疆受罪去了。

一天,当他出京看一场军事rehearsal4之时,几个renegades3趁机betrayed了他,他们repeal4了他的王位,把权力remit给一个奸臣,当他repined1说:“You are renegades”之时,这些奸臣反唇相讥recriminated1/refute9:“Are you a suitable king?”局势很快恶化,变得有些refractory3。幸运的是,叛军内部出现了一些rent,当初那几位被他relegated6的大臣及时repatriated2,在经过一番认真reconnaissance1之后,征集了一regiment的recruit3,reinforced13军队,最终repelled3了叛军。

当一切renaissance /recuperated1/ rehabilitated5了之后,国王不免有些remorseful4,就想reinstate6那几位立功的大臣的爵位以recompense4自己的过失。但被拒绝了,大臣们说:“Actually we don’t care who is the king. we simply want to refrain3 the regression3 of my country.” 国王这会才算repented1了,他很想regulate6自己的言行以redeem2/reimburse1自己的过失,可他又如此地爱regale以至于终究难于割舍。国事娱乐难两全,国王想看来:“I am remediable1 unless I am not a king.”最终他决定relinquish2自己的regality1. 他renounced6了自己的一切特权。现在这个relentless的国王变成了一个relented2的老者,他毫无reluctance4的退隐山林。

The Recluse4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Deep in the forest was a recluse who led a reclusive2 life. Every day, he just reclaimed1 his redolent2 little land. When he is free he will study regimen1 recumbently1 or took a recital2 party for his neighbors without remuneration3. He often reiterated4 if there is reincarnation or he can be rejuvenated1, he will still choose to live like this. No one knew about his recondite2 past, people only knew that he was painful when recounting1 his reminisce2. Only when refurbishing1 his remnant1, you can imagine he must be refulgent1 when he was young.

Actually he was once the king of the country leading a regal life filled with rejoice2 and regality1. But he loved recreation so much that he is remiss and reckless3 in his regime3. He gave rein to several jianchen and spent all his time in regaling1 or talking about repertoire1 of the rendering. When some rectitude1 dachen remonstrated what he had done, he rent their paper, relegated6 their job and sent them to a remote3 place.

One day, when he was out for a rehearsal4, several renegades3 betrayed him redoubtably4, they repeal4 him and remitted the power to a jianchen. When he repined1: “You are a renegade.” The jianchen recriminated1/refute9: “Are you a suitable king?” Things became refractory3. Lucky enough, there is a rent adj1 between the renegades3. The dachen he had relegated6 repatriated2 in time. After careful reconnaissance1, he called up a recruit3 regiment, reinforced13 the army and repelled3 the enemy.

After renaissance , everything was recuperated1/ rehabilitated5 the king felt remorseful4 and wanted to reinstate6 the dachen so as to recompense4 for what he had done. But he refused, he said: “Any redress2 is redundant12. Actually I don’t care who is the king. I simply want to refrain3 the regression3 of my country.” The king repented1. He wanted to regulate6 himself to redeem2/reimburse1what he had done wrong, but he loved regale so much that he couldn’t leave it. He thought: “I am remediable1 unless I am not a king.” So he finally decided to relinquish2 his regality1. He renounced6 all his right as a king. Now the relentless king became a relented2 old man. He left his country without any reluctance4.

复活Resurrection

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

John 是个出身于reverential家庭的一位resilient的lawyer,他的工作就是为社会residues1辩护。一天,在courtroom里,他的目光被一个被判reprieve1的pine woman所riveted1。这人长得太resembled他reminiscence里的一位姑娘了。John竭力 restrained8自己的情绪,问了一下那人的名字,这下,他的respiration3都变得restive3起来,因为,这正是那位姑娘。  

John retentive的记忆开始迅速retrograded1 /retrogressed。他开始retrace/retrospect1起与Mary that is the girl’s name在一起的日日夜夜。十年以前,他们两人fell into love with each other。但是,因为John来自一个reputable的家庭,而Mary不过是个rafter的女儿,他们的家境地位是如此的repugnant2(令人厌恶或矛盾不一致)以至于Mary不得不小心翼翼得keep a distance with John。在一个revel1/revelry之后的晚上,John先是用rhetoric5的words rhapsodized about Mary,既而送给她一个rhinestone1做的ring,还允诺说会marry her ritually。在John的三重攻势压力下,Mary终于屈服了,They made love that night。但是John’s family 强烈reproofed3他们。John的rigorous4的老爸inexorably/毫无dissuasion余地的警告John,假如他不repudiate 9 Mary,他们就会repudiate9他。在这样的repress5之下,John resigned2了,他最终选择了resignation6(屈从),不久,他家搬到了另一个城市,自此以后,他们各自过上了respective的生活,再也没能相见。  

那天晚上过后不久,Mary发现自己pregnant了,她曾经reverie1幻想能找到John,可是每次总是被John家的retinue(恶仆)  repulsed2于门外。不久一个男孩降生了,因为Mary不肯说出谁是他的父亲,她父亲reproached2/ reprimand5 她, 母亲reprove1/ reprehended 她, 邻居们也reprobated3 她.他们最终把她逐出了家门。

因为单身母亲的尴尬身份,她申请工作的requisition总是遭到rejected。因为没有一点revenue,她连生活必需的requisite都成了问题。她与外界的rift2是如此之深以至于整个社会好象wove织就了重重的reticulation,把她牢牢困在网中央。无论她做什么都无法retribute2自己的过失。好像倾尽rivulet之水也无法rinse她的gilt。她不得不过着reptilian1一样的生活,每每走在街上,总有riotous的imp/brat尾随,唱着ribald1小曲reviled2/ridiculed7她。

渐渐地,这个原本爱说爱笑的risible的姑娘变得reserved了,开始对社会产生了repulsive1的情绪。 她resented3所有人,要对整个社会retaliate2/ revenge 2。她reprisal的方式就是kill her own baby以使他不至于再过上自己那样的生活,她也因此被sent into prison。

当听到这一切的一切之时,John被深深的moved。真正reprehensible的应该是我自己呀,他痛苦的想,frozen已久的感情自他心底resurged1,他resurrected3起来,下定resolution8要rescue3 Mary。他resorted1 to the chancery求助,请求它们revoke2 the rescript of that respite2。他的真情revelation3在众人中产生了极大的reverberation1, the chancery最终做出了revocation1的判决。

但当John要告诉Mary这一切之时,她已经suicide。没有什么东西能够真正retrieval/ restore她那颗破碎的心灵了。当John给Mary做requiem1之时,他那resuscitated1的心灵仿佛听到一向reticent8的Mary说:“I am not the only one who suffered, if you want to revive6 others, you must rescind4 the rife1 discrimination of the world.”

Resurrection

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

John is a resilient lawyer coming from a reverential family. His job is to defend for those residues1 of the society. One day in the courtroom he was riveted1 by a pine woman who was sentenced to reprieve1. She resembled a girl in his reminiscence so much. John restrained8 himself and asked the name of the girl. This time, his respiration3 became restive3 that is really the girl.

John’s retentive mind retrograded1 /retrogressed very fast. He began to retrace/retrospect1 all those days he shared with Mary that is the girl’s name. Ten years ago, John and Mary fell into love with each other. But John came from a reputable family, while Mary is a daughter of a rafter. Their family is so repugnant2(令人厌恶或矛盾不一致) that Mary had to keep a distance with John. But one night after revel1/revelry, John rhapsodized about Mary with rhetoric5 words. He sent her a ring made of rhinestone1 and promised to marry her ritually. They made love that night. But John’s family reproofed3 them, John’s rigorous4 father inexorably无情地/毫无dissuasion余地 told John if he doesn’t repudiate 9 Mary, they will repudiate9 him. Under such a repress5, John became resigned2 and chose resignation6. He moved to another city, from then on, they led a respective life and never met each other again.

Soon after that night, Mary found herself pregnant. Her parents reprehended her. She once had a reverie1 to find John, but every time she was repulsed2 by the retinue of him and never saw him again. Mary had a baby later that is a boy. Since Mary couldn’t tell out who is his father, her father reproached2/ reprimand5 her, her mother reprove1 her, her neighbors reprobated3 her. They drove her out.

Her requisition for a job was rejected. Without any revenue, even her requisite was a problem. She had so deep a rift2 with the outside that the whole society wove a reticulation around her. Whatever she did can not retribute2 what she had done wrong. It seems that even the rivulet can not rinse her gilt. She had to live a reptilian1 life. Even when she stepped on the street, riotous children reviled2/ridiculed7 her in ribald1 words.

From then on, the risible girl became reserved and repulsive1 to the society, she resented3 everybody and decided to retaliate2/ revenge 2/(requite). Her reprisal was to kill her own baby so that he wouldn’t live a life like her. So she was sent into prison for killing.

When hearing of this, John was greatly moved. It is me who are really reprehensible, he thought. A frozen feeling resurged1 from the bottom of his heart. He resurrected3 and made up his resolution8 to rescue3 Mary. He resorted1 to the chancery and asked them to revoke2 the rescript of that respite2. The revelation3 caused great reverberation1, the chancery made a revocation1.

But when John tried to tell Mary about this, she had suicide. Nothing can retrieval/ restore her broken heart. When John had a requiem1 for Mary, his resuscitated1 heart heard reticent8 Mary said: “I am not the only one who suffered, if you want to revive6 others, you must rescind4 the rife1 discrimination of the world.”

传奇The Saga

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mike是个rural2孩子,但他不甘心一辈子过rustic的生活,老想着写一部saga。小伙伴们因此总是sardonic /satirical1/ sarcasm2的叫他savant1。

一天,一位sagacious的sage5 rusticated来采风,Mike带着自己的手稿来到他的rostrum1前求教。“Is it a saga?”没等sage5细看,一脸sanguine2表情的Mike就焦急的问道。

看到Mike那rubicund的小脸,sage5笑了,说:“你一定还是个rookie1。”

Mike不免有些disappointed,就问:“How did you know that?”

“因为你还不知道,saga不是仅仅靠belletristic rote and royalty1就能够写成的,你好像roost里的rooster,每天都rotund鸣叫,你觉得自己的啼声sapient足以唤醒世界,但事实上,you can’t.”

Mike的精气神一下就sagged了:“那,我该怎么办呢。”

“首先,你要周游世界rove around the world,,这可能对你的健康并不怎么salubrious2,但对你的写作绝对salutary4,只有这样你才能尝尽人生百味savor4,积累最rudimentary2的经验。其次你还要学会真正ruminate1这些rudiments,去芜取精。”

看到Mike有点灰心失望,sage5就鼓励他说,你现在还只是个小树苗sapling,但凭你的savvy,当你长成参天树的时候,你一定会出类拔萃salient3的。

自打那天以后,Mike脱去了自己的robe,穿上sandal1系上sartorial1 sash1,背起rucksack,爬进马saddle1,开始了自己的safari。在漫漫征途路上,他去过茫茫的savanna,尝过saliferous咸咸的大马哈salmon1。既碰到过sanguinary的rowdy/ rogue2,也跟satanic ruffian1交过手。几年下来,他衣衫已旧变ruck/rumpled1/ruffled1,原本ruddy的脸庞如今已面有菜色sallow,satiny的皮肤起了层层scabrous的茧。For a scads1 of times,他被人送上scaffold1,生死系于一线,但每次总能化险为夷。如今他已经由一个浑身sap2的年轻人变成了个sapless的中年人。同时,他加入了saber队,从sabotage 1中salvage3挽救了许多人。他变得神情saturnine1,但同时rubbery而又sangfroid。当他解甲归田之时scabbarded1 his saber,他已经成为自己saber队里rudder1级的人物。他自己已经成了个活的saga4。连女王都亲自发给他一块sapphire以资奖励。

现在,他住的sanatorium已经变成了年轻人的sanctum/sanctuary1。但他自己却从不故作sanctimonious,因为他觉得那实在是sacrilegious1。他甚至有点rueful1,因为他至今还没能写出能够流传sempiternal的saga4来。

The Saga

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mike was a rural2 boy, but he wasn’t used to the rustic life and always wanted to write a saga. His little friends always call him savant1 in sardonic /satirical1 words/ sarcasm2.

One day a sagacious sage5 rusticated. Mike took his papers to his rostrum1.

“Is it a saga?” Mike asked with a sanguine2 expression.

Looking at his rubicund face, the sage5 smiled: “You must be a rookie1.”

“How did you know that?” Mike was a little disappointed.

“Because you still don’t know that saga can not be wrote out by belletristic rote and royalty1. You are like a rooster in the roost, singing rotund everyday. You think you are sapient enough to wake the world up, but actually you can’t.”

Mike’s sprit sagged: “How can I...”

“First you must rove around the world, which might not be salubrious2 to your health, but it is salutary4 to your writing. Only in this way, you can know the savor4 of life and gain rudimentary2 experience for yourself. Second you should learn to ruminate1 over those rudiments.”

Seeing that Mike is disappointed, the sage5 encouraged him: “You are still a sapling, 凭你的savvy,when you grow into a high tree, you will be salient3.”

From that day on, Mike took off his robe , put on sandal1 and sartorial1 sash1, shoulder his rucksack, climbed into saddle1 and began his safari. He had been to savanna. He had tasted saliferous salmon1. He met sanguinary rowdy/ rogue2 and satanic ruffian1. His sack turned ruck/rumpled1/ruffled1, his ruddy face turned sallow, his satiny skin turned scabrous. For a scads1 of times, he was put to scaffold1. He turned from a boy with sap2 to a sapless mid-aged man. While at the same time, he took part in saber and salvage3 a lot of people from sabotage 1. He became saturnine1, but rubbery and sangfroid. When he scabbarded1 his saber, he had became a rudder1 of his saber. He himself had turned to a saga4. He was even rewarded a sapphire by the queen.

Now his sanatorium had become sanctum/sanctuary1 of those young men. But he seldom pretended to be sanctimonious, He thought it was sacrilegious1. He was even a little rueful1, for he still hadn’t written out a saga4 that might last sempiternal.(万世流芳,呵呵)

明星制造Scour for Star

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Audrey是一位漂亮的seamstress,她的朋友们总说她跟Audrey Hepburn有几分semblance。她嫁给了一位doctor,每日跟scissors2 scalpel3 and scythe1打交道,直到有一天,路上有个人拦住她说:“小姐,you looks so seraphic1 in your scarf2。我正在为一家电影公司scouring star,我相信您一定是个明星的好苗子seedling1。Audrey有一些sceptical1。当她把这件街边奇遇告诉丈夫的时候,她先生一边Scoffing1(狼吞虎咽)着她cooked 的dinner,一边还scoff1她说:“这的确是个seminal3的主意,你看上去就像个scintillating.的seamy1 star。”但Audrey厌倦了seam2,明星梦sear1着她的心灵,她最终决定辞职去了一家电影公司。

在那儿她很快意识到当演员跟作明星是两个不同的概念,为了能scramble到一个角色,她必须忍受诸多的scourge2。有一次,她不得不在scorching的骄阳下站了一个上午,另一次,她则被迫赤手空拳scotch1了一只scorpion1。凭着sedulous1的sedulity1,她坚持了下来。

Audrey有个scathing3的老板,此人是个贪婪得像scavenger的坏蛋scoundrel1,总想着如何一seine1打尽所有的财富,他有时甚至对自己旗下的actress提出sensual request,因为他有着决定谁能当明星的sceptre,没人敢拒绝他。但有时又不得不承认,此人有着不费effort发现珍宝的serendipity。

一天,一个机会来了,一部片子的女主角洗头时不小心把scalp给scalded了,不得不临场换人。因为Audrey 把scenario搞得很熟,她抓住了这个机会,结果片子一炮打响,引起sensationally的效果,Audrey的表演尤为出色,人们评价说:“犹如seismic一样的震撼。”现在所有人都相信,Audrey的确是个明星scion了。

很快就有人来找Audrey要签名照,于是她开始学签名。一天,当她正在scrubbing自己不太满意的signature时,一旁的waitress Mary对她说:“其实你大可不必如此scrupulous2的,尽管scrawl吧,你的scribble3都会被当成scripture1裱进scroll1的。”“此话当真?” Audrey开始还有些scrupled1,但她很快发现果然如此,没有人会scrutinize7那些signature到底如何,大家只要确信那确实是Audrey手迹,这就够了。

她发现做明星实在是件scrumptious的事情,可以买最贵的衣服,用最好的scent1。而且无论她走到哪里,总会有成群的热血seething1的年轻人scudding (scurry) scamper其后。这些人甚至为了能跟她握一下手而不惜scuffle混战一场。到最后她都不得不在sentry的保护下,快速的scuttle躲到自己轿车的scuttle里面去。有一位sculptor3 以她为模特sculpted1了一尊sculpture4,sculpture4有一个简单而响亮的名字“star”.

她发现自己很seditious,她的影迷们如此sequacious以至于她能轻而易举的seduce他们做任何事情。她不懂scale5 or score5,但她的唱片卖得很火。她笑一笑说:“没有渗漏No seep1.” The sanitary towel of the brand she used很快脱销。对孩子们来说,老师们课堂上的Screed不如她一句sententious的话更管用。

Audrey变得越来越self-assertion,她跟自己的前任老板seceded,schism1/ secession以后,自己组织了一个sect,名字就叫Audrey。

但也有一些不顺心的事,有天,她就在报上看到了一些关于自己的莫须有的scurrilous scandal1。“How scurvy1.”开始时他对这些scandalous的花边新闻非常scared。但是Mary(她现在已经是Audrey的专职secretarial了)对她说:“你应该谢谢他们才对,正是这些scandal1让你更出名的,因为这样所有人都会对你的secretes3感兴趣了。”久而久之,她也就习以为常了,有时候甚至觉得这些新闻还挺sensational2

岁月不饶人,幸福总难secular1长久,她也渐渐发现自己越来越senescent1了,虽然尽力使自己不至于被secluded,但越来越多的新星开始scintillate。她渐渐被人遗忘了,那种感觉仿佛突然坠下了万丈scarp般得难受。开始是很不适应,常常失眠,每每总要服一些sedative3才能入睡。

渐渐的,她也适应了serene3/sedate1的生活。开始从凡尘俗务secular1 affairs中抽身而退sequester。 现在她把自己的主要精力都花在一家seminary1里。夜深人静serene3之时,她还会偶尔唱几首serenade, 自嘲的说:“花儿已枯萎sere2,我这种senile star的sediment1也在一步步走向sepulcher了。”

Scour for Star

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Audrey is a pretty seamstress. Her friends always said that she had semblance with Audrey Hepburn.  She married a doctor and dealt with scissors2 scalpel3 and scythe1 everyday until one day a man said to her: “Young lady, you looks so seraphic1 in your scarf2. I am scouring star for a film company, I believe you are a seedling1 of a future star.” She was quite sceptical1. When she told her husband about this. Scoffing1 the dinner she cooked, the doctor scoff1 at her: “That is really a seminal3 idea, you must be a scintillating seamy1 star.” But Audrey was tired of seam2, the idea being a star sear1 her.She finally went to a film company and began her life as an actress.

She soon understood that being an actress is a different concept with being a star. In order to scramble a play role, she had to bear a lot of scourge2. One time she stood in the scorching sun for a day, another time she was forced to scotch1 a scorpion1 bare handed. But she bore all this with sedulous1 sedulity1.

She had a scathing3 boss, who is a scoundrel1 as greedy as a scavenger, trying to get everything he wants with a seine1. He sometimes even raised sensual request to his actress, and because he had sceptre to decide who will be the star, no one dare refuse him. But he really had a sensuality of serendipity to find who is proper to do what.

One day a chance came, F1(女一号)had her scalp scalded and can’t come. All the other actresses pried for the chance eagerly. Since Audrey knows the scenario very well, she grasped the chance. The film is very sensationally successful, especially the performance of Audrey. “It is just like seismic.” they said. Now everybody believed that she is a scion of star.

Someone wrote to ask her for photos with her signature. So she began to learn to sign. One day when she was scrubbing out a signature she wasn’t satisfied with. Mary a waitress who had attended a lot of stars smiled: “You needn’t be so scrupulous2. Just scrawl, Your scribble3 will be regarded as scripture1, they will even be paperhanging into a scroll1.”  “Really?” Audrey scrupled1, but soon she found that it was true. No one scrutinize7 what the signature was like, they just ensure it was from Audrey. Then that is enough.

She soon found that it was scrumptious to be a star. She can buy the most expensive clothes, using the best scent1. Wherever she goes, there is always a lot of seething1 youth scudding (scurry) scamper behind her. They sometimes even scuffle just to shake hands with her. At last she had to scuttle from them into the scuttle of her car, under the protection of sentry. She found herself seditious. A sculptor3 sculpted1 a sculpture4 taking her as the model. The sculpture4 had a simple name “star”.

She found her fans were so sequacious that she could easily seduce them to do anything. She didn’t know about scale5 or score5, but her disks sold very well. She smiled and said: “No seep1.” The sanitary towel of the brand she used soon sold out. Screed of the teacher can’t compare with one sententious word of her.

She became more and more self-assertion, she seceded with her former boss. After schism1/ secession, she formed a sect named Audrey.

But she also found some scurrilous scandal1 about her on the paper. “How scurvy1.”At first, she was very scared about the scandalous news. But Mary who now acts as a secretarial for her told her: “You should thank them, the scandal1 will make you more famous, for every body will be interested about your secretes3. ”  Now she even felt the news sensational2.

But happiness are always not secular1 . She found herself senescent1. She tried hard not to be secluded. But more and more new stars began to scintillate. She found herself scraped1. The feeling is just like falling down a scarp.  At first she couldn’t go to sleep unless taking sedative3. Now she is serene3/sedate1 about this prefer to be seclusive. She began to sequester from secular1 affairs and paid more attention to seminary1. Singing serenade sometimes, she made fun of herself: “Flowers are sere2 now. I am a sediment1 of senile star drawing near the sepulcher.”
