摘　　要：他站在那儿凝视着水面。一会儿,他弯腰捡起一块石头，倏地投入池中。厄秀拉感觉到明亮的月亮在跳动摇摆，在她眼中，一切都扭曲了。那月亮如同墨鱼一样瞬时伸出火焰般闪亮的手臂，就像一只闪亮的水螅，在她眼前剧烈地蠕动着。他仍凝望着池面,背影投射在岸边。没一会儿，他弯下腰在地上摸索。接着，水面又进发出哗啦的声音，耀眼的光线瞬时四散,水中之月炸裂了,危险的白光碎片飞散开来。完全碎裂的火光如白鸟般迅速地从池面跃升,趁着嘈杂混乱逃逸，并同蜂拥而至的大片暗波争战。逃逸到最远处的光波，似乎喧闹着要溢过岸边逃离，片片暗波沉重地潜入,奔向池心。但是在池中央,这周围的心脏，依然是一轮真切、光闪、颤动的白月亮,并未被全部摧毁,这团白色火光翻腾着、争斗着,现在甚至没有被冲破、被亵渎的迹象。它盲目地努力着，似乎忍着奇异而剧烈的疼痛把自己紧紧地聚在一起。它逐渐变得强大起来,再次表明自己是那轮不可亵渎的月亮。条条细碎的光线加速返回已重新强大的月亮,这轮摇曳水中、胜利重整的月亮。He stood staring at the water. Then he stooped and picked up a stone, which he threw sharply at the pond. Ursula was aware of the bright moon leaping and swaying, all distorted, in her eyes. It seemed to shoot out arms of fire like a cuttlefish, like a luminous polyp, palpitating strongly before her. And his shadow on the border of the pond was watching for a few moments, then he stooped and groped on the ground. Then again there was a burst of sound, and a burst of brilliant light, the moon had exploded on the water, and was flying asunder in flakes of white and dangerous fire. Rapidly, like white birds, the fires all broken rose across the pond, fleeing in clamorous confusion, battling with the flock of dark waves that were forcing their way in. The furthest waves of light, fleeing out, seemed to be clamouring against the shore for escape, the waves of darkness came in heavily, running under towards the centre. But at the centre, the heart of all, was still a vivid, incandescent quivering of a white moon not quite destroyed, a white body of fire writhing and striving and not even now broken open, not yet violated. It seemed to be drawing itself together with strange, violent pangs, in blind effort. It was getting stronger, it was re-asserting itself, the inviolable moon. And the rays were hastening in thin lines of light, to return to the strengthened moon that shook upon the water in triumphant reassumption.
