标题[求译] dear esther 里的一段话我看不懂><
时间Thu Feb 16 17:39:21 2012
Dear Esther. The gulls do not land here anymore; I’ve noticed that this year,
they seem to shun the place. Maybe it’s the depletion of the fishing stock
driving them away. Perhaps it’s me. When he first landed here, Donnelly wrote
that the herds were sickly and their shepherds the lowest of the miserable
classes that populate these Hebridean islands. Three hundred years later,
even they have departed.
我的理解大概是这样：
dear esther， 海o不再於此伫足；我注意到牠们今年似乎有意避开这座孤岛。也许是渔
获存量匮乏使得牠们如此。也有可能是因为我。
接下来这一句我真的不了解，我连去分辨文法也没办法(这不是翻译o!)
三百年过後，就连牠们也已离去。(这是最後一句的翻译o!)
请看得懂的人帮帮我噜!! 我会非常非常非常感谢的!!
(如果我翻的地方是错的也请咎正唷!)
