In the summer, when the sun played on the juniper bushes, and in the fall, when the air was clear enough to see to the white lighthouse on Wood Island, and in the winter, when the sea battered the granite rocks, Winslow Homer thrived at Prouts Neck, a cape off the Southern coast of Maine.【F1】
At Prouts, as the locals call it, he had long days to walk the cliffs and study the mystery that would become his subject: the grand roiling Atlantic as it threw itself against the rocky coast.
For the last hundred years or so, the only way visitors could see those cliffs was to stay at the Black Point Inn, the sole hotel on this two-and-a-half mile-promontory.【F2】
But soon the public will be able not just to observe the ocean as Homer did, but also to visit the two-story clapboard studio where the artist lived and painted what many consider to be his most majestic works.
This is thanks to the fact that the Portland Museum of Art bought the house six years ago when Homer’s great-grand-nephew decided to sell it.【F3】
After Homer’s death in 1910 the house was passed down through a series of relatives and ultimately to this nephew, Charles Homer Wil-lauer, who rented it to others for many summers.
Then in 2006 Mr. Willauer decided to sell the three-room structure to the museum for $1.9 million. The museum invested $2.8 million renovating the structure, work that included stabilizing the foundation, restoring the exterior to its original colors of dark green with red trim and rehanging the second-story porch.
It is a simple place, set with a view out to the sea. From its garden one can look across to Bluff and Stratton islands in Saco Bay. Looking through the trees to the right, visitors can glimpse the home next door, which once belonged to Homer’s father, Charles Sr. , and is now owned by another family.
The Homer clan was instrumental in developing this tiny community of 108 homes, and several Homer family descendants still have houses here. After Winslow’s younger brother, Arthur, came for his honeymoon in 1875, he decided to set down roots and build a home.【F4】
With its tranquil beaches to the north and the sea to the south, the setting soon caught the imagination of Charles Sr. , who bought a property large enough for his extended family, naming his seaside home "The Ark. "
Just down the road from the studio, visitors can see St. James, the Episcopal church, built in part thanks to the efforts of Charles Sr. , who helped finance it.
In 1883 Winslow Homer, by then an established artist, decided to leave his residence in Manhattan and make Prouts Neck his base.【F5】
He chose the family’s carriage house to live in, but to maximize his privacy he moved it about 100 feet down the road and worked with the well-known architect John Calvin Stevens to turn it into a home and studio.
【F3】
选项
答案
1910年霍默逝世后,这间房子便由其亲属代代相传,最后传给了这位侄孙——查尔斯.默.劳尔,每年夏天,他都会将房子出租。
解析
本句是一个含有定语从句的复合句,因为主句the house was passed down…讲的是房子的传承问题,从句一who rented it…说明继任人对房屋的处理情况。两个主题是分开的,因此翻译时可以采用“拆分法”,将who引导的定语从句单独译成一句,这样处理译文会更加通顺、流畅。
