【昨日回顾】
Music means different things to different people and sometimes even different things to the same person at different moments of his life. It might be poetic, philosophical, sensual, or mathematical, but in any case it must, in my view, have something to do with the soul of the human being.
对不同的人来说,音乐意味着不同的东西;有时甚至对于一个人,在其生命的不同阶段,音乐的意义也不尽相同。它可能是富有诗意的、富于哲理的、提供感官享受的,或是精确无误的,但在我看来,不论在何种情况下,音乐都一定与人类的灵魂有某种关联。
【今日长难句】
Hence it is metaphysical; but the means of expression is purely and exclusively physical: sound. I believe it is precisely this permanent coexistence of metaphysical message through physical means that is the strength of music.
【结构解析】
1. 首句为but连接的并列句,前半句为主系表结构,即:it /is/ metaphysical; 后半句也是主系表结构,即:the means of expression/ is /purely and exclusively physical: sound.
2. 第二句主干为“主谓宾从”结构,宾语从句为强调句式,即:it is +被强调的成分+that+句子其他成分,因此被强调部分是句子的主语“this permanent coexistence of metaphysical message through physical means”;当主语较长时,一般将其单独处理,译为:音乐是无形的信息与有形的表达方式的永远共存。
【词的处理】
metaphysical /metə'fɪzik(ə)l/ adj. 形而上学的;超自然的
exclusively / ikˈsklu:sivli / adv. 唯一地
precisely / priˈsaisli / adv. 准确地;恰好地
permanent / ˈpə:mənənt; NAmE ˈpə:rm- / adj. 永恒的
coexistence / ˌkəuiɡˈzistəns; NAmE ˌkou- / n. 共存
strength / streŋθ / n. 力量
【参考译文】
Hence it is metaphysical; but the means of expression is purely and exclusively physical: sound. I believe it is precisely this permanent coexistence of metaphysical message through physical means that is the strength of music.
因此,音乐是形而上学的;但音乐的表达方式却纯粹只有一种有形的形态——声音。这种无形的信息与其有形的表达方式永远共存,我认为正是这种共存才是音乐的力量所在。
【明日长难句】
It is also the reason why when we try to describe music with words, all we can do is articulate our reactions to it, and not grasp music itself.
