水波荡漾

再往前是水波荡漾的海洋和星罗棋布的宝岛

Ahead lay the scalloped ocean and the abounding blessed isles .

但是，先不谈嫉妒，只说那些用直升机俯拍出来的照片，它们有一种好玩的偷窥意味——城市景观向上伸展，变得陌生，散布在水波荡漾的泳池中或躺椅上的游泳者很像大卫·霍克尼（DavidHockney）的油画。

And yet , envy aside , there is something deliciously voyeuristic about helicopter photographs of a suddenly unfamiliar , upturned cityscape dotted with David Hockney bathers in dappled water and lounge chairs .

微风使海面水波荡漾。

A breeze ripples the surface of the sea .

微风使海面水波荡漾。柔和的月光射在湖面上。

A breeze ripple the surface of the sea . The moon cast her mellow light on the lake .

小船随着水波微微荡漾，除了跳板搭在船弦上隐约发出哀伤的吱嘎声外，万籁俱寂。

There is no sound save the faint , mournful creaking of the gangway against the boat , as she imperceptibly swings to and fro in the current .

那金黄色的水波在墙上荡漾了多少次，那乌黑乌黑的河流不顾他的不愿意，多少夜滚滚流向海洋，保罗从来没有计算过，也从来不想要知道。

How many times the golden water danced upon the wall ; how many nights the dark , dark river rolled towards the sea in spite of him ; Paul never counted , never sought to know .
