英译汉:佳译赏析巧选主语成妙译(1)原文】饱经沧桑的20世纪仅剩下几个春秋,人类即将跨入充满希望的21世纪。
【译文】I n a few years’ time, mankind will bid farewell to the 20th c entury, a century full of vic issitudes, and enter into the 21s t c entury, a c entury full of hopes.【赏析】1995年,联合国举办纪念成立50周年庆祝活动,江主席出席并发表演说。
原文是该篇演说的第一句,是地道的汉语。
翻译此句时,一般译者往往会亦步亦趋地将原文译为两个分句,分别以“饱经沧桑的20世纪”和“人类”作主语。
但高明的译者吃透了原文的精神,选择mankind为主语统领全句,以准确而地道的英语译出,确实是一则难得的佳译,值得翻译爱好者认真体会。
英译汉:佳译赏析之“肚里的墨水”(2)【原文】T heir family had more money, more hors es, more slaves than any one els e in the Country, b ut the boys had less grammar than mos t of their poor C racker neighbors.【译文】他们家里的钱比人家多,马比人家多,奴隶比人家多,都要算全区第一,所缺少的只是他哥儿俩肚里的墨水,少得也是首屈一指的。
【赏析】原文选自Gone With the Wind。
译文忠实且流畅,算得上好译文,特别值得一提的是译者对grammar的处理,如果照搬字典自然难于翻译,但译者吃透了原句精神,译为“肚里的墨水”,真是再妥帖不过了。
英译汉:佳译赏析之“思前想后”(3)【原文】A nd in these meditations he fell asleep.【译文】他这么思前想后,就睡着了。

(高级英语课文翻译)Book 1 Lesson 3 Blackmail敲诈--阿瑟•黑利负责饭店保安工作的欧吉维探长打了那个神秘的电话,本来说好一个小时后光临克罗伊敦夫妇所住的套房的,可实际上却过了两个小时才到。
结果,当外间门上的电铃终于发出沉闷的嗡嗡声时,公爵夫妇的神经都紧张到了极点。
公爵夫人亲自去开门。
此前她早已借故把女仆支开,并且狠心地给那位脸儿圆圆的、见到狗就怕得要死的男秘书派了一个要命的差事,让他牵着贝德林顿狼犬出去散步。
想到这两个人随时都会回来,她自己的紧张情绪怎么也松弛不下来。
随着欧吉维进屋的是一团雪茄烟雾。
当他随着她走进起居室时,公爵夫人目光直射着这个大肥佬嘴里叼着的那烧了半截的雪茄。
“我丈夫和我都讨厌浓烈的烟味,您行行好把它灭了吧!”探长那双夹在面部隆起的肉堆中的猪眼睛轻蔑地将她上下打量了一番。
接着,他便移动目光,对这个宽敞豪华、设备齐全的房间扫视了一周,看到了那位正背朝窗户、神色茫然地望着他们的公爵夫人。
“你们这套房间布置得倒挺讲究的呢。
”欧吉维慢条斯理地从口中拿下雪茄,敲掉烟灰,然后将烟蒂扔向靠右边的一个装饰性壁炉,但他失了准头,烟蒂掉到地毯上,他也不去管它。
公爵夫人的嘴唇绷得紧紧的。
她没好气地说道,“我想你该不是为谈论房间布置到这儿来的吧。
”他乐得咯咯直笑,肥胖的身子也跟着抖动起来。
“不是的,夫人,怎么会呢!不过,我确实喜爱高雅的东西。
”他压低了他那极端刺耳的尖嗓音接着说,“比如像你们那辆小轿车,就是停在饭店的那辆,美洲虎牌,是的吧?”“噢!”这声音不像是从口中说出来的,倒像是从克罗伊敦公爵鼻子中呼出来的。
他的夫人马上瞪了他一眼,以示警告。
“我们的车子与你有什么相干呢?”公爵夫人的这句问话似乎是个信号,一听到这个信号,探长的态度马上就变了。
他猝然问道,“这儿还有别的人么?”公爵回答道,“没有。
我们早把他们都打发出去了。
”“还是检查一下的好。
”这个大胖子以敏捷得出奇的动作对整个套房前前后后地巡查了一遍,凡是有门的地方就打开往里看看。
研究生英语读写佳境课文翻译精品1 Why do we laugh? Because we find something funny ,most people would say. Robert Provine, a behavioral neurobiologist at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, once thought so too. But then he and his students began wandering about the college campus notebooks in hand, recording exactly what really made people laugh.为什么我们会笑?大部分的人都会说那是因为我们找到了一些有趣的事情。
Robert Provine是Maryland大学的行为精神生物学家,他曾经也是这样认为的。
但是他和他的学生们开始散步在大学校园里,手里拿着笔记本,准确地记下引人发笑的原因。
2 Twelve hundred “laugh episodes”later, Provine was convinced that most laughter has little to do with jokes or funny stories. The vast majority or laughs followed mundane statements(普通话语)such as “It was nice meeting you, too” or“Can I join you?”Only some 10 to 20 percent followed anything remotely recognisable(细微联系)as a punch line(妙句、关键句).So what are the majority of laughs actually about?记录下一千二百个“笑的事件”后,Provine相信大部分的笑与开玩笑和滑稽的故事没有关联。

The silent treasuring up of knowledge; learning withoutsatiety; and instructing others without being wearied -- which one of these things belongs to me? 6.三人行,必有我师焉。

6.丛林短裤1. 这是星期五的下午,3班的学生们已经穿好了外套,排成一队等着回家。
兰尼站在队尾因为他的防水服的拉链卡住了,他忙着弄拉链,几乎没听到老师考克斯先生说了什么。
“这是给大家的一封信”考克斯先生说“别弄丢了,一定要交给你们的父母,里面有好消息的”。
兰尼很想知道这个好消息是什么,他匆忙跑过了操场,找到了妈妈。
“快,打开这封信”兰尼说“考克斯先生说这里面有好消息”“要先跟我打招呼”妈妈笑着说。
但是她还是打开了信,读完了信她告诉兰尼,“下周3班要上一节足球课,学校会借给你们足球鞋”“哇呜,”兰尼大叫“真正的足球鞋,我敢说我一定能进15个球”她妈妈把信放进了包里“条纹衫和短袜怎么样?我能有一件真正的球服吗”兰尼恳求道“等等看吧”妈妈说到了家里,兰尼还是脱不下他的防水服,他妈妈不得不去帮他。
“我很高兴你没有弄坏拉链,在下个月之前我没法给你再弄件衣服”她说。
“我不想要新外套”兰尼说“但是我能有一件新足球服吗,求你了”“喝完茶再问我”他妈妈说。
他们的茶点吃了带果酱和苹果的薄饼。
薄饼是兰尼最爱吃的。
可是,今天他以最快的速度吃完了它。
他卡它一声放下了刀和叉。
“你答应我吃完茶点就说足球的事”妈妈从包里拿出了考克斯先生的信。
“每个孩子将会需要一件旧T恤和一些袜子”她读道“不是真正的足球用品吗?”兰尼问道“很抱歉,没有。
除了短裤。
考克斯先生想让你们都穿上新短裤。
我们明天就去市场买”兰尼很不高兴,但是他知道他妈妈,她一旦下定决心就不会更改了。
他看上去很**“我敢打赌他们都有象样的足球服”他想“我敢打赌他们都没有穿旧T恤”那个夜晚,他躺着睡不着一直在想,他要确保他妈妈买足球短裤。
他想要双合适的白色足球短裤。
然后,他知道他能进好多的球。
2.第二天早上吃过早饭,他们出发去买新短裤。
市场离兰尼住的地方隔两条街。
在路上,他们看到3班的泰德和肖恩。
泰德和肖恩住在兰尼家附近,他们正在马路的里面把球踢来踢去。
肖恩猛地把球拍向他,兰尼把球踢了回去。
精品翻译欣赏THREE DAYS TO SEEHelen KellerAll of us have read thrilling stories in which the hero had only a limited and specified time to live. Sometimes as short as twenty four hours. But always we were interested in discovering just how the doomed man chose to spend his last days or his last hours. I speak, of course, of free man who have a choice, not condemned criminals whose sphere of activities is strictly delimited. Such stories set us thinking, wondering what we should do under similar circumstances. What events, what experiences, what associations should we crowd into those last hours as mortal beings? What happiness should we find in reviewing the past, what regrets?Sometimes I have thought it would be an excellent rule to live each day as if we should die tomorrow. Such an attitude would emphasize sharply the values of life. We should live each day with a gentleness, a vigor, and a keenness of appreciation which are often lost when time stretches before us in the constant panorama of more days and months and years to come. There are those, of course, who would adopt the epicurean motto of 'Eat, drink, and be merry, ' but most people would be chastened by the certainty of impending death.Most of us, however, take life for granted. We know that one day we must die, but usually we picture that day as far in the future. When we are in buoyant health, death is all but unimaginable. We seldom think of it. The days stretch out in an endless vista. So we go about our petty tasks, hardly aware of our listless attitude toward life.The same lethargy, I am afraid, characterizes the use of all our faculties and senses. Only the deaf appreciate hearing, only the blind realize the manifold blessings that lie in sight. Particularly does this observation apply to those who have lost sight and hearing in adult life. But those who have never suffered impairment of sight or hearing seldom make the fullest use of these blessed faculties. Their eyes and ears take in all sights and sounds hazily, without concentration, and with little appreciation. It is the same old story of not being grateful for what we have until we lose it, of not being conscious of health until we are ill.I have often thought it would be a blessing if each human being were stricken blind and deaf for a few days at some time during his early adult life. Darkness would make him more appreciative of sight; silence would teach him the joys of sound.At times my heart cries out with longing to see all these things. If I can get so much pleasure from mere touch, how much more beauty must be revealed by sight. Yet, those who have eyes apparently see little. The panorama of color and action which fills the world is taken for granted. It is human, perhaps, to appreciate little that which we have and to long for that which we have not, but it is a great pity that in the would of light the gift of sight is used only as a mere convenience rather than as a means of adding fullness to life.Oh, the things that I should see if I had the power of sight for just three days.给我三天光明海伦·凯勒我们大家都读过一些激动人心的故事,故事中的主人公将不久于人世,余下的日子屈指可数,长不过一年,短则只有一天。
我们总想知道临头的人作出什么样的抉择来度过最后的命数。
我当然不是那些活动范围受到严格限制的死囚,而是可以自由选择的人。
这类故事引起我们思索和遐想:在类似情况下,我们会做些什么呢?哪些事件、哪些经历、哪些联想会在临死前的最后时刻一股脑儿涌向心头呢?当我们回首往事时,又有哪些欣慰或悔恨之感呢?有时我想,把每一天都当作生命的最后一天来过,也许是一种极好的生活准则。
这种态度会使生命的价值印章有突出,使我们以优雅的风度、旺盛的精力和高度珍异的心情度过每一天;而当我们觉得岁月延绵不断,来日方长时,往往失掉这种态度。
当然,有人会因而奉行亨乐主义的信条,一味吃喝玩乐,但更多的人却因为行将就木而变得严肃纯洁。
我们大多数人把生命视若等闲。
只有聋子才珍惜听觉,只有盲人才领悟光明所赐给人们的难以计数地幸福。
成年时未受到损伤的人却很少运用他们的天赋。
他们视而不见,充耳不闻,对其所闻漫不经心,毫无鉴赏珍惜之意。
事情往往是这样,失却之物,方知珍惜;生了病才知道健康之可贵。
我时常在想,倘若让每一个人在刚刚成年的某个时期尝一点苦头,瞎几天,聋几天,恐怕颇有裨益。
黑暗会使人更加珍惜光明,寂静会告诉人们听到声音时的欢乐。
我的心时时在呐喊,渴望看见所有这一切。
既然仅凭触觉我就能得到这许多欢乐,那么视觉向我展示的美景不更多得不可胜数了吗?可是,明眼人显然徙有两只眼睛,充满着大千世界的丰富多采、千姿百态的画景,在他们看来竟是平淡无奇。
有了的东西不加珍惜,没有的东西却一味追求,这也许是人之常情。
然而,在这个光明的世界上,天赋的视觉地仅仅被当作一种方便的条件,而不是用来充实生活,这毕竟是极大的憾事。
哦,倘若给我光明,哪怕仅仅三天,我将能看到多少东西啊!On Visiting BookshopsTime spent in a bookshop can be most enjoyable. whether you are a book-lover or merely there to buy a book as a present. You may even have entered the shop just to find shelter from a sudden shower. Whatever the reason, you can soon become totally unaware of your surroundings. The desire to pick up a book with an attractive dust-jacket is irresistible, although this method of selection ought not to be followed, as you might end up with a rather dull book. You soon become absorbed in some book or other, and usually it is only much later that you realize you have spent far too much time there and must dash off to keep some forgotten appointment—without buying a book, of course.This opportunity to escape the realities of everyday life is, perhaps, the main attraction of a bookshop. There are not many places where it is possible to do this. A music shop is very much like a bookshop. You can wander round such places to your heart's content. If it is a good shop, no assistant will approach you with the inevitable greeting:”Can I help you, sir?” You needn't buy anything you don't want. In a bookshop an assistant should remain in the background until you have finished browsing. Then, and only then, are his services necessary. Of course, you may want to find out where a particular section is ,but when he has led you there, the assistant should goaway politely and look as if he is not interested in selling a single book.You have to be careful not to be attracted by the variety of books in a bookshop. It is very easy to enter the shop looking for a book on, say, ancient coins and to come out carrying a book about modern weapons—something which has only vaguely interested you up till then. This volume on the subject, however, happened to be so well illustrated and the part of the text you read proved so interesting, that you just had to buy it. This sort of thing can be very dangerous. Apart from running up a huge account, you can waste a great deal of time wandering room section to section. Booksellers must be both long-suffering and indulgent.There is a story which can illustrate this. A medical student had to read a text-book which was far too expensive for him to buy. He couldn t obtain it from the library and the only copy he could find was in his bookshop. Every afternoon, therefore, he would go along to the shop and read a little of the book at a time. One day, however, he was dismayed to find the book missing from its usual place and was about to leave when he noticed the owner of the shop beckoning to him. Expecting to be told off, he went towards him. To his surprise, the owner pointed to the book, which was tucked away in a corner. “I put it there in case anyone was tempted to buy it.” he said, and left the delighted student to continue his reading.Bookshops are worth visiting indeed, if you spend your time and money wisely there.论逛书店无论你是一个书迷,还是单纯为了买本书作为礼物,甚至你只是为了躲避突如其来的阵雨而进入书店,在书店里度过的时间是十分富有情趣的。
