　英語段落摘抄一：

The Battle of the Boyne had been fought more than a hundred years before, but, to the O’Harasand their neighbors, it might have been yesterday when their hopes and their dreams, as wellas their lands and wealth, went off in the same cloud of dust that enveloped a frightened andfleeing Stuart prince, leaving William of Orange and his hated troops with their orangecockades to cut down the Irish adherents of the Stuarts.

博因河戰役是一百多年以前的事了，但是在奧哈拉家族和他們的鄰里看來，就像昨天發生的事，那時他們的希望和夢想，他們的土地和錢財，都在那團卷着一位驚惶逃路的斯圖爾特王子的魔霧中消失了，只留下奧蘭治王室的威廉和他那帶着奧蘭治帽徽的軍隊來屠殺斯圖爾特王朝的愛爾蘭依附者了。

　英語段落摘抄二：

Gerald had come to America from Ireland when hewas twenty-one. He had come hastily, as many abetter and worse Irishman before and since, with theclothes he had on his back, two shillings above hispassage money and a price on his head that he feltwas larger than his misdeed warranted. There wasno Orangeman this side of hell worth a hundredpounds to the British government or to the devil himself; but if the government felt so stronglyabout the death of an English absentee landlord’s rent agent, it was time for Gerald O’Hara tobe leaving and leaving suddenly. True, he had called the rent agent “a bastard of anOrangeman,” but that, according to Gerald’s way of looking at it, did not give the man any rightto insult him by whistling the opening bars of “The Boyne Water.”

21歲那年傑拉爾德來到美國。他是匆匆而來像以前或以後許多好好壞壞的愛爾蘭人那樣，因爲他只帶着身上穿的衣服和買船票剩下的兩個先令，以及懸賞捉拿他的那個身價，而且他覺得這個身價比他的罪行所應得的還高了一些。世界上還沒有一個奧蘭治派分子值得英國政府或魔鬼本身出一百鎊的;但是如果政府對於一個英國的不在地主地租代理人的死會那麼認真，那麼傑拉爾德·奧哈拉的突然出走便是適時的了。的確，他曾經稱呼過地租代理人爲"奧蘭治派野崽子"不過，按照傑拉爾德對此事的看法，這並不使那個人就有權哼着《博因河之歌》那開頭幾句來侮辱他。

　　英語段落摘抄三：

His tall brothers were a grim, quiet lot, in whom the family tradition of past glories, lost forever,rankled in unspoken hate and crackled out in bitter humor. Had Gerald been brawny, hewould have gone the way of the other O’Haras and moved quietly and darkly among the rebelsagainst the government But Gerald was “loud-mouthed and bullheaded,” as his mother fondlyphrased it, hair trigger of temper, quick with his fists and possessed of a chip on his shoulderso large as to be almost visible to the naked eye. He swaggered among the tall O’Haras like astrutting bantam in a barnyard of giant Cochin roosters, and they loved him, baited himaffectionately to hear him roar and hammered on him with their large fists no more than wasnecessary to keep a baby brother in his proper place.

他那些高個兒哥哥是些冷酷寡言的人，在他們身上，歷史光榮的傳統已經永遠消失，淪落爲默默的仇恨，爆裂出痛苦的幽默來了。要是傑拉爾德也生來強壯，他就會走上向奧哈拉家族中其他人的道路，在反政府的行列中悄悄地、神祕地幹起來。可傑拉爾德像他母親鍾愛地形容的那樣，是個"高嗓門，笨腦袋"，嬤嬤暴躁，動輒使拳頭，並且盛氣凌人，叫人見人怕。他在那些高大的奧哈拉家族的人中間，就像一隻神氣十足的矮腳雞在滿院子大個兒雄雞中間那樣，故意昂首闊步，而他們都愛護他，親切地慫恿地高聲喊叫，必要時也只伸出他們的大拳頭敲他幾下，讓這位小弟弟不要太得意忘形了。
