风中奇缘|Pocahontas

7.英国啊，英国|England

属类： 双语小说 【分类】双语小说 阅读：[4032]
1607年，英国人来到北美洲的弗吉尼亚，他们想在这片新大陆上开始崭新的生活，并在这里安家落户。他们建造了一座城镇，取名为“詹姆斯敦”，它是以英格兰国王詹姆斯一世的名字命名的。
在这些英国人看来，弗吉尼亚是一个全新的世界，而对于北美洲的印第安人来说，就没什么新鲜的了。印第安人生活在这里，他们的祖祖辈辈们很久前就居住在这里了。这里是他们的国度，是他们的家园。印第安人可不喜欢这些来自大洋彼岸的白人们。
在这些英国人当中，有一个叫约翰·史密斯的人乘着一艘小船逆流而上，印第安人发现了他，并把他带到首领波瓦坦酋长那里。印第安人本想杀了他，但波瓦坦有一个漂亮的女儿，名叫波卡洪塔斯。从她凝望着约翰·史密斯那双蓝蓝的眼睛的那一刻起……一段有关两个国家、两个人以及一段不了情的广为人知的故事就这样拉开了序幕。

1616年，波卡洪塔斯和约翰·罗尔夫带着儿子来到了英国。随行的还有十个印第安人。经过了七周的航行，他们抵达了伦敦。

1
-

“伦敦可真大啊!”波卡洪塔斯说道，“这里有成百上千栋房子和成千上万的人!”

2
-

伦敦是个喧闹而令人兴奋的地方。波卡洪塔斯对一切都充满了兴趣。她走进各家商店，看那里摆放着的食品、衣服和书籍。她乘船沿泰晤士河来来回回地游览，看到很多富人的大房子。每天，她都会看到精彩的新奇事物。

3
-

然而伦敦也很脏，因为这里人太多了。河水不干净，水质很差。波卡洪塔斯的两位印第安同胞生病死了。

4
-

但波卡洪塔斯还是既快乐又兴奋。每天她都去拜访豪门望族，与一些富人和权贵交谈。伦敦的每个人都想见见她，同她聊天，并想成为她的朋友。

5
-

英国国王和王后听说了有关约翰·罗尔夫的妻子——这个来自弗吉尼亚的印第安姑娘——的事情，他们也想见见她。于是一天，波卡洪塔斯去拜见了詹姆斯国王和安妮王后。他们问起了她的父亲波瓦坦。

6
-

“我父亲是阿尔冈昆印第安人的国王，”她说，“他统领着众多臣民和很多村落。但我们的领土比英国安静多了。我们的人民了解森林、动物与河流。你们可以向我们学习，我们也可以向你们学习。我们要成为朋友。”

7
-

“我们当然要成为朋友了，”詹姆斯国王说，“‘詹姆斯敦’这个地方就是以我的名字命名的，所以我对它非常感兴趣。”

8
-

他们谈了一会儿之后，国王的妻子安妮王后说：“我有一封关于你的信，波卡洪塔斯。信是一个叫约翰·史密斯的人写的。他说在你还是个小姑娘的时候，他就是你的朋友了。是这样吗?”

9
-

有那么一会儿，波卡洪塔斯说不出话来。然后她说道：“约翰·史密斯的信?可他已经死了!”

10
-

安妮王后笑了。“死了?不，他就在英国。看，这就是那封信。”王后看着波卡洪塔斯问道，“怎么了，亲爱的?你不舒服吗?”

11
-

“不，不，我很好。我非常高兴。”

12
-

但那天晚上，波卡洪塔斯无法入睡。她非常兴奋。约翰·史密斯还没有死。他还活着，而且就在英国!可他在哪儿呢?

13
-

两天后，约翰·史密斯来见她了。

14
-

当然，他苍老了一些。然而她还记得他。他个头不高，但很有趣，令人兴奋而充满活力。他用那双好看的蓝眼睛冲她微笑着。“嗨，波卡洪塔斯，”他说，“你还记得我吗?”

15
-

她怎么会忘记他呢?她望着他，但什么也没说。约翰·罗尔夫看着他们。“这就是约翰·史密斯，亲爱的，”他说，“见到他你高兴吗?”

16
-

但波卡洪塔斯并不高兴。“不，”她说，“很抱歉。我一点也不高兴。”她茫然地望着窗外。她无法直视约翰·史密斯。

17
-

约翰·罗尔夫走了出去，史密斯在旁边等着。过了一会儿，他说：“你现在已为人妻，而且也是一位母亲了。”

18
-

“是的。”波卡洪塔斯看着他，努力想挤出笑容。

19
-

“我看上去有什么不同吗?”他问，“我知道自己变老了。”

20
-

“不，你没有什么变化，”她说，“但是——你为什么要离开弗吉尼亚?”

21
-

“我出了事故，”他说，“我当时病得很厉害。于是回到了英国，两年后我才慢慢好起来。”

22
-

“在詹姆斯敦，他们都告诉我说你已经死了。”

23
-

“死了?不，那不是我。”

24
-

“可你并没有告诉我啊!你连一封信也没有给我写——这八年里一封信也没有，约翰·史密斯!”

25
-

“可你当时还是个孩子啊，波卡洪塔斯。你那时还不识字呢!”

26
-

“好吧，可我现在识字了!”她生气地说道，“也许我当时是个孩子，约翰·史密斯，但我父亲把你交给了我——就在很久前的那天，在我父亲的村子里。你不记得吗?从那天起，我就开始爱上了你。”

27
-

他用那双好看的蓝眼睛忧伤地望着她，他眼中的她此刻又变成了一个孩子。她记起了所有的往事。

28
-

“你并不爱我，”她说，“你从来就没爱过我。”

29
-

“我……不懂爱情，”他缓缓地说道，“你是首领的女儿，波卡洪塔斯，而我既不富有，也不是权贵。我至今未娶;或许我不了解女人吧。而且你当时还是个孩子，波卡洪塔斯。”

30
-

“我那时是个孩子——可我爱你，而你却走了，”她说，“八年来我没有你的任何音信。”

31
-

他很长时间都没说话。然后他开口了：“很抱歉，波卡洪塔斯。我错了。”

32
-

“我是那么的爱你，”她忧伤地说。这时门开了，她的小儿子托马斯走了进来。“可我现在有了儿子和丈夫，”她说，“而且他们爱我。你和我不能再成为朋友了。再见，约翰·史密斯。”

33
-

“再见，波卡洪塔斯。”他看了她一会儿，然后走出门外。她从此以后再也没见过他。

34
-

六个月后，约翰·罗尔夫说：“我们必须回弗吉尼亚了，亲爱的。那里还有工作在等着我。而且你也需要弗吉尼亚温暖的阳光。”

35
-

没错，波卡洪塔斯现在病了，而且英国冬季寒冷的降雨对她也没有好处。她什么也没说，准备动身。船从伦敦顺流而下，来到一座名为格雷夫森德的海边小镇。但当他们到达那里时，波卡洪塔斯病情加重，卧床不起。约翰·罗尔夫坐在妻子的床边，忧伤地望着她的脸。

36
-

她微笑着对他说：“再见了，约翰。我要回家了——回到那片有着森林与河流的土地。”

37
-

波卡洪塔斯于1617年3月死于格雷夫森德。

38
-

有两件事使她闻名于世：她是第一个嫁给英国人并且来到了英国的美洲女性。她也是第一批去弗吉尼亚的英国人的好朋友。

39
-

她的丈夫约翰·罗尔夫回到了弗吉尼亚，在那里娶了一个英国女人。他于1622年在弗吉尼亚去世。波卡洪塔斯的儿子托马斯小的时候跟罗尔夫的家人生活在英国，但在1635年搬到弗吉尼亚生活。

40
-

约翰·史密斯没有再离开英国。他写了很多有关美洲的有趣的书，在那些书里他写到了波卡洪塔斯。他一直活到1631年，终身未娶。也许他无法忘记波卡洪塔斯最后一次跟他道别时的那双忧伤的黑眼睛。

41
-

In 1616, Pocahontas, John Rolfe, and their son went to England. Ten of her people came too. After seven weeks on the ship, they arrived in London.

London was very noisy and exciting. Pocahontas was interested in everything. She went into the shops, and looked at the food and the dresses and the books. She went up and down the River Thames in a boat, and saw the big houses of rich people. Every day, she saw something new and wonderful.

But London was very dirty, too, because there were so many people. The river was dirty, and the water was bad. Two of Pocahontas’ people were ill, and died.

But Pocahontas was happy, and excited. Every day she visited big houses and talked to rich and important people. Everybody in London wanted to meet her, to talk to her, to be her friend.

The King and Queen of England heard about John Rolfe’s wife, the Indian girl from Virginia, and they wanted to meet her, too. So one day Pocahontas went to visit King James and Queen Anne. They asked her about her father, Powhatan.

’My father is the King of the Algonquin people,’ she said. ’He has many men and villages. But our country is quieter than England. Our people understand the forest and the animals and the rivers. You can learn from us, and we can learn from you, too. We must be friends.’

They talked for some time, and then his wife, Queen Anne, said: ’I have a letter about you, Pocahontas. It’s from a man called John Smith. He was your friend, he says, when you were a little girl. Is that true?’

For a second or two Pocahontas could not speak. Then she said, ’A letter from John Smith? But he’s dead!’

He was older, of course. But she remembered him. A little man, not tall, but interesting, exciting, alive. He smiled at her, with those beautiful blue eyes. ’Hello, Pocahontas,’ he said. ’Do you remember me?’

How could she forget him’? She looked at him, but said nothing. John Rolfe watched them. ’It’s John Smith, my dear,’ he said. ’Are you happy to see him?’

’I...don’t know about love,’ he said slowly. ’You are the daughter of a King, Pocahontas, and I’m not rich, or important. I never had a wife; perhaps I don’t understand women. And you were a child, Pocahontas.’

It was true. Pocahontas was now ill, and the cold rain of the English winter was not good for her. But she said nothing, and got ready to leave. The ship went down the river from London to a town called Gravesend, near the sea. But when they got there, Pocahontas was very ill and she could not move. John Rolfe sat by his wife’s bed, and watched her face sadly.

John Smith did not leave England again. He wrote many interesting books about America, and he wrote about Pocahontas in those books. He lived until 1631, but he never had a wife. Perhaps he could not forget the sad, dark eyes of Pocahontas, when she said goodbye to him for the last time.
