Syllepsis(異敘)
如:He first put a club in my hand when I was about ten. I threw a lot of tantrums in the upland hills of North Carolina, and clubs too. I was in such a rush to be good that he would urge me to “relax and enjoy the round. The game ends far too soon.” I didn’t have a clue what he meant.
試譯:他第一次把高爾夫球棒放在我手裡的時候,我大概十歲。在北卡羅來納州的山中,我一次次發脾氣,一次次把球棒扔掉。我急於求成,老爸總是勸我“放鬆點,慢慢打,比賽結束得太快了。”我一點兒也不明白他的意思。
再如:By day’s end, I had drilled 4216 holes to a depth of 18 inches, and I had lost mine pounds, my hearing, feeling in both hands and the ability to lift anything heavier than the evening paper.
試譯:一天快結束的時候,我已經鑽了4216個深達18英寸的洞,為此,我失去了9磅體重,失去了聽力,失去了雙手的感覺,還失去了舉起比一張晚報更重的東西的臂力。
