先来欣赏林语堂的Moment in Peking当中描写慈禧太后的句子：1.The ignorant old woman who ruled for the entire last half of the nineteenth century didmore than any other single person to hold back China’s progress. W ithout her the progressive Emperor Kuangshu would certainly have gone on with his reforms. To the end, the Emperor, like an eagle deprived of its wings, remained submissive to his aunt.Ignorance added to a strong character was a double curse; stupidity joining hands with stubbornness was twice stupid.张振玉先生的译文：那个愚蠢无知的老太婆统治了19世纪的后50年，使中国不能进步，她可算功劳第一。
若没有她，锐意求进的光绪皇帝，一定会进行他的维新大计。
光绪皇帝，像个剪去翅膀的苍鹰，一直对他这位大权在握的老伯母必恭必敬，百依百顺。
愚而妄，其为祸则加倍地强烈。
愚蠢再与刚愎携手，则愚蠢倍增。
【spoiltcat点评】1、最后一句实在是经典。
2、“愚蠢无知”来译ignorant，有点过，因为ignorant似乎并无“愚蠢”之意。
3、苍鹰不是一个一个的吧。
4、“必恭必敬”尚可表现出无奈的感觉，“百依百顺”则不可。
【spoiltcat改译】那个无知的老太婆在19世纪后半叶统治中国整整50年之久。

as easy as falling of a log /as easy as snapping your fingers /as easy as ABC 容易得很To me,a good story teller,it would be as easy as falling of a log.对我来说，讲个故事还不是随手拈来。
as busy as a bee 非常忙Mum is always as busy as a bee in the moring.妈妈每天早上都忙得不可开交。
at one's fingertips了如指掌How to get at that little island is at his fingertips.他知道怎么去那个小岛。
at one's wit's end智穷Don't ask him.It is also at his wit's end.不要问他了，他也不知道。
big shot 大人物，大亨He is a big shot in our little town.black sheep败家子，害群之马Every family has a black sheep.家家有本难念的经。

《围城》英译选句原文：苏小姐理想的自己是：“艳如桃李，冷若冰霜，”让方鸿渐卑逊地仰慕而后屈伏地求爱。
谁知道气候虽然每天华氏一百度左右，这种又甜又冷的冰淇淋作风全行不通。
（钱钟书- 围城）翻译关键词：艳如桃李，冷若冰霜，华氏一百度“左右”译文：Miss Su, who pictured herself in the words of the familiar saying, "as delectableas peach and plum and as cold as frost and ice," decided she would allow Fang to humbly gaze at her in admiration and then prostrate himself to beg for her love. Who would have thought that while the temperature hovered around 100 degrees every day, this sweet, cool ice cream manner of hers was completely ineffective. (美Jeanne Kelly, Nathan K.Mao <译> –Fortress Besieged)资料个人收集整理，勿做商业用途翻译笔记：艳如桃李，冷若冰霜* 这句话出自于《苍鹰击割爱》。
一般用来形容女子，容貌艳丽而态度严肃。
文中译为as delectable as peach and plum and as cold as frost and icedelectable是一个GRE的词汇，常用在来说食物美味的，或者某件事或人是令人愉快的。
例如：What delectable dinner it is！这顿晚餐真是美味极了！还有什么词语可以来形容女子美貌的呢？是不是想到了“沉鱼落雁，闭月羞花”？沉鱼落雁makes the fish sink and wild geese fall闭月羞花a beauty which obscure the moon and make flowers blush对啦？小编小哈扯开一下，大家知不知道，这两个词是形容哪四位古代美女哒？华氏一百度“左右”* 这里特别指出左右，是不是有点奇怪？左右无非就是left and right？哈哈，我们来看，文中是怎么翻译的。

More than I realized, Dad has helped me keep my balance. WhenI was growing up, I was embarrassed to be seen with my father. He was severely crippled and very short, and whenwewalked together, his hand on myarm for balance, people would stare. I would inwardly struggle at the unwanted attention. If he ever noticed or was bothered, he never let on.
It was difficult to coordinate our steps — his halting, mine impatient — and because of that, we didn't say much as we went along. But as we started out, he always said, "You set the pace. I will try to adjust to you."
Our usual walk was to or from the subway on which he traveled to work. He went to work sick, and despite nasty weather. He almost never missed a day, and would make to the office even if others could not. A matter of pride.
When snow or ice was on the ground, it was impossible for him to walk, even with help. At such times mysisters or I would pull him through the streets of Brooklyn, N.Y., on a child's wagon with steel runners to the subway entrance. Once there, he would cling to the hand-rail until he reached the lower steps that the warmer tunnel air kept free of ice. In Manhattan the subway station was the basement of his office building, and he would not have to go outside again until we met him in Brooklyn on his way home.
When I think of it now, I am amazed at how much courage it must have taken for a grown manto subject himself to such shameand stress. And at howhe did it — without bitterness or complaint. He never talked about himself as an object of pity, nor did he show any envy of the more fortunate or able. What he looked for in others was a "good heart", and if he found one, the owner was good enough for him.
Now that I am older, I believe that is a proper standard by which to judge people, even though I still don't know precisely what a "good heart" is. But I know the times I don't have one myself.
Unable to engage in many activities, my father still tried to participate in some way. When a local baseball team found itself without a manager, he kept it going. He was a knowledgeable baseball fan and often took me to Ebbets Field to see the Brooklyn Dodgers play. He liked to go to dances and parties, where he could have a good time just sitting and watching.
On one occasion a fight broke out at a beach party, with everyone punching and shoving. He wasn't content to sit and watch, but he couldn't stand unaided on the soft sand. In frustration he began to shout, "I'll fight anyone who will sit down with me! I'll fight anyone who will sit down with me!"
Nobody did. But the next day people kidded him by saying it was the first time any fighter was urged to take a dive before the fight began.
I now know he participated in some things through me, his only son. When I played ball (poorly), he "played" too. When I joined the Navy, he "joined" too. And when I came home on leave, he saw to it that I visited his office. Introducing me, he was really saying, "This is my son, but it is also me, and I could have done this, too, if things had been different." Those words were never said aloud.
He has been gone many years now, but I think of him often. I wonder if he sensed my reluctance to be seen with him during our walks. If he did, I am sorry I never told him how sorry I was, how unworthy I was, how I regretted it. I think of him when I complain about trifles, when I am envious of another's good fortune, when I don't have a "good heart."
At such times I put my hand on his arm to regain my balance, and say, "You set the pace. I will try to adjust to you."
超过我意识到 , 爸爸帮助我保持平衡。
当我长大后,我感到尴尬,是在我父那里看见的。 他是严重的残疾和很短的 ,当我们走在 一起, 他把手放在我的手臂来平衡 , 人们会瞪着。我内心挣扎在不必要的注意。如果他曾经 注意到了这些 , 不管他内心多么痛苦 , 也从不表现出来。
很难协调我们的步骤——他那蹩脚的 ,我的耐心,正因为如此,我们没说就像我们走。 但 正如我们开始的时候 , 他总是说 , “你定步调。我将试着适应你。”
我们常常往返于从他所乘的地铁上工作。 他有病也要上班 ,哪怕天气恶劣。 他几乎从未 误过一天工 , 并将使到办公室 , 即使别人不可能。一件值得骄傲的事情。 当雪或冰躺在地上 , 他已经不可能走 , 即使有帮助。在这种时候我或者是我的姐妹们就 把他拉过纽约市布鲁克林大街在孩子的马车和钢铁跑步者到地铁入口处。 一到那儿 , 他便抓 了 hand-rail 一直走到底下的台阶 , 因为那里通道的空气暖和些保持无冰。到了曼哈顿 , 地 铁站就在他办公楼的地下一层 ,
他无须再走出楼来 , 直到我们在布鲁克林遇见他在回家的路 上。
如今每当我想起这些 , 我惊讶要用多少勇气一个成年男子要经受信这种耻辱和压力。 在 他如何做学生痛苦或投诉。
他从不说自己可怜的对象 , 也从不嫉妒别人的幸运和能力。他所期望的是人家 "善良的 心 ", 当他得到 , 老板够好的了。
现在,我长大了 , 我相信这是一个适当的标准来判断人 , 尽管我还不确切地知道 "善良的 心"是。但我知道那时我没有拥有一个自己。
无法从事许多活动 , 我的父亲仍试图以某种方式加入。 当一个地方棒球队发现缺少一个 领队时, 他便做了领队。他是个棒球迷 ,有丰富的棒球知识 ,而且过去常带我去埃比茨棒球场 观看布鲁克林的鬼精灵队的比赛。他喜欢参加舞会和晚会 , 他能有一个好的坐着看。
有一次发生了一场争斗的海边晚会上 , 每个人都动了拳头 , 推推搡搡。他不甘于坐在那 里当观众,但又无法在松软的沙滩上自己站起来。 于是,失望之下,他吼了起来 :" 我要与谁会 坐下来与我 ! 我要与谁会坐下来与我 ! ”
