“I Only Came to Use the Phone” (4) 英译中 “I Only Came to Use the Phone” (4) 英译中 By Gabriel García Márquez The passengers, just visible in the dim light of a lamp in the courtyard, sat motionless until the woman with the military air ordered them out of the bus with the kind of primitive directions used in nursery school. They were all older women, and their movements were so lethargic in the half-light of the courtyard that they looked like images in a dream. Maria, the last to climb down, thought they were nuns. She was less certain when she saw several women in uniform who received them at the door of the bus, pulled the blankets over their heads to keep them dry, and lined them up single file, directing them not by speaking but with rhythmic, peremptory clapping. Maria said good-bye and tried to give the blanket to the woman whose seat she had shared, but the woman told her to use it to cover her head while she crossed the courtyard and then return it at the porter’s office. 《我只是来用一下电话》(4) 英译中 作者：加夫列尔•加西亚•马尔克斯 在庭院微弱的灯光下才看得见的乘客们静止不动地坐着，直到那个样子像军人的女人，用一种适用在托儿所的简单指示命令她们下车。她们都是年长的女人，并且她们的动作在庭院昏暗的灯光下是如此的了无生气，以致于她们看起来就像是梦中的影像。玛利亚最后一个爬下车，她认为她们是修女。但她也不太确定，当她看到几个穿制服的女人在汽车门口迎接她们，把毯子拉过她们的头顶以使得她们不被淋湿，并把她们排成一个单行，没有使用讲话指引她们，而是使用有节奏的、强制性的鼓掌声。玛利亚试图把毯子归还给那个跟她分享座位的女人并对她说再见，但那个女人告诉她，用这个毯子来盖住头穿过庭院，然后把毯子归还给门房。
