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.
【F4】
选项
答案
老查尔斯先生也被其北面宁静的海滩、南面壮阔的大海所吸引,他购置了一片足以安置其大家庭的土地,并将他海边的房屋命名为“方舟”。
解析
本句的句式结构比较丰富,首先是独立主格结构With its tranquil beaches to the northand the sea to the south作状语,形象生动地说明了此处风景的魅力。其次,who引导的同位语从句,用来解释说明Charles Sr.在此的举动,句子结构较长,翻译时可单独成句。需要注意的是,翻译独立主格结构时可以灵活地将其与句子主干相结合,将原句的主语“风景”和宾语“老查尔斯先生”作主动和被动的转换,译为“老查尔斯先生被这样的风景所吸引”。
