And here is the beginning of wisdom. （分数

17、：50.00）_正确答案：()解析：“快乐的日子使人睿智。”约翰梅斯菲尔德 第一次读到英国桂冠诗人梅斯菲尔德的这行诗时，我感到十分震惊。他想表达什么意思?我以前从未对此仔细考虑过，总是认定这行诗所表达的意思反过来才正确。但他冷静而又胸有成竹的表达引起了我的注意，令我难以忘怀。 终于，我似乎领会了他的意思，并意识到这行诗意义深远。快乐带来的睿智存在于敏锐的洞察力中，不会因忧虑而含混，也不会因绝望和厌倦而模糊，更不会因恐惧而造成盲点。 积极的快乐并非单纯的满足或知足通常不期而至，就像四月里突然下起的春雨，或是花蕾的突然绽放。然后，你就会发觉与快乐结伴而来的究竟是何种智慧。草底更为青翠，鸟鸣更为甜美

18、，朋友的缺点也更能让人理解，更加可以原谅。快乐就像是一副眼镜，可以矫正你的精神视力。 快乐的视野并不仅限于你周围的事物。你不快乐时，你的思维陷入情感上的悲哀，你的眼界就像是被一道墙给阻隔了；你快乐时，这道墙就会砰然倒塌。 你的眼界变得更为宽广。你脚下的大地，你身边的世界，包括人、思想、情感和压力，现在都融入了更为广阔的景象之中，每件事物的比例更加合理。而这就是睿智的起始。 解析 “The days that make us happy make us wise.“John Masefield 这句话中出现了人名，诗人 John Masefield 是著名的桂冠诗人，对它的中文翻译，需要考生掌握

19、。 “快乐的日子使人睿智。”约翰梅斯菲尔德 But his sober assurance was arresting. I could not forget it. 首先，这两句话之间存在着因果联系，翻译时为了体现逻辑关系的连贯，将其合并为一句话。其次，第一句话中对“sober assurance”的翻译是个难点，一个是形容词一个是名词，但是表达的都是形容词的含义，都是形容他这句话的语气的，一为冷静，二为肯定，使用文学词汇就是“胸有成竹”。 但他冷静而又胸有成竹的表达引起了我的注意，令我难以忘怀。 The wisdom that happiness makes possible lies i

20、n clear perception, not fogged by anxiety nor dimmed by despair and boredom, and without the blind spots caused by fear. 这句话需要注意的是对两个动词和一个介词的翻译，分别为：fog、dim 和 without。翻译“fog”时，要结合它的名词的含义，“dim”则要结合它的形容词的含义。“without”不一定要译为“没有”，这里可译为“不会因为恐惧造成盲点”。 快乐带来的睿智存在于敏锐的洞察力中，不会因忧虑而含混，也不会因绝望和厌倦而模糊，更不会因恐惧而造成盲点。 Acti

21、ve happinessnot mere satisfaction or contentmentoften comes suddenly, like an April shower or the unfolding of a bud. 这句话写得很美。将积极的快乐比作了突然而来的春雨和绽放的花蕾。“suddenly”原意是“突然地”，这里表达的是“快乐来临的突然，让人摸不着任何规律”，因此可译为“不期而至”。 积极的快乐并非单纯的满足或知足通常不期而至，就像四月里突然下起的春雨，或是花蕾的突然绽放。 Happiness is like a pair of eyeglasses correcti

22、ng your spiritual vision. 精神也会像眼睛一样审视这个世界，因此这里的“spiritual vision”可译为“精神视力”。 快乐就像是一副眼镜，可以矫正你的精神视力。 Unhappy, with your thoughts turned in upon your emotional woes, your vision is cut short as though by a wall. Happy, the wall crumbles. 这两句话是说快乐和不快乐两种状态下思维的情境，翻译时可用分号隔开，放在一个句子中。 你不快乐时，你的思维陷入情感上的悲哀，你的眼界就

23、像是被一道墙给阻隔了；你快乐时，这道墙就会砰然倒塌。三、Part (总题数：1，分数：60.00)22.第二个人说：活腻味了。爱过了，恨过了，哭过了，笑过了，乐过了，苦过了。金银财宝，身外之物。功名利禄，过眼云烟。香酥鸡、肯德基、道口烧鸡，大同小异。长城饭店、昆仑饭店、建国饭店，千篇一律。台球、保龄球、高尔夫球，无非是球。人生不过如此，该收场了。游戏人生，我够了。你们爱玩玩去吧，别拉扯上我。 第三个人说：怎么能这样对待生活?怎么能说活得太累?怎么能说活得太腻?在这大变革的时代，难道你们就没有一点社会责任感?人生在世难道就是为自己活着?我们的国家能有今天，这容易吗?同志们，振兴中华、匹夫有责，开

24、放改革，重担就落在你我他身上。我们应该对社会负责，对国家负责，对后代负责。否则就是犯罪。振作起来吧，前进! （分数：60.00）_正确答案：()解析：Another person complains, “What a boring life! I have loved, hated, cried and laughed. I have tasted both the bitterness and sweetness of life. Gold and silver have never belonged to me from the very beginning. The exploits,

25、the fame and the fortunes are transient as the floating clouds. Chickens are chickens, be it Fried Crisp Chicken, KFC chicken or Red-cooked Chicken. And hotels are hotels, be it the Great Wall Hotel, Kunlun Hotel or Jianguo Hotel. Can you say that the snooker, bowling or golf is not a ball game? Lif

26、e is just like that. It“s time that I quitted it. It“s much enough for me to fool around in this life. Just go ahead if you still want to play on. But leave me alone.“ A third person retorts, “How can you treat life like that? How can you say that life is too exhausting and too boring? Don“t you hav

27、e a sense of responsibility in this great age of vicissitudes? Can we live for ourselves only? Do you think it easy for our country to enjoy the present peace and stability? My friends, it“s our responsibility to rejuvenate our Chinese nation. We must undertake the heavy task of implementing the pol

28、icy of opening-up and reform. We have the responsibility for our society, for our country, and for our descendants. Otherwise we would feel guilty. Now cheer up! Come on.“ 解析 第二个人说：活腻味了。 虽然原句是“说”，但是从他的言语中能感觉到他是在抱怨，因此可直接将“说”译为“complain”，即“抱怨”。 Another person complains, What a boring life! 爱过了，恨过了，哭过了

29、，笑过了，乐过了，苦过了。 这句话中除了最后的乐和苦不能使用单个的动词之外，其他的都可以。因此可将句子分为两个部分，译为两句。“乐过”和“苦过”转为“品尝过快乐和痛苦的滋味”，进行翻译。 I have loved, hated, cried and laughed. I have tasted both the bitterness and sweetness of life. 金银财宝，身外之物。 “身外之物”是说金银财宝从一开始就从来不曾真正地属于我们，因此可译为“have never belonged to me”。 Gold and silver have never belonged

30、 to me from the very beginning. 功名利禄，过眼云烟。 “功名利禄”这简单的四个字却包含了“功绩、名气、财富”等多层含义，翻译时不要遗漏信息。“过眼云烟”中有一个比喻的修辞，将功名利禄比作了过眼云烟，是说它们“稍纵即逝”。翻译时可将“稍纵即逝”这个词译为“transient”，为了保留原文中的比喻，可加上“as the floating clouds”。 The exploits，the fame and the fortunes are transient as the floating clouds. 香酥鸡、肯德基、道口烧鸡，大同小异。长城饭店、昆仑饭店、建

31、国饭店，千篇一律。 这两句话的结构是相同的，且“大同小异”和“千篇一律”的意思也一样，翻译时要保留原文的并列结构。译文用了“A be A, be it.”结构，将这种对生活的倦怠态度展现给了译文的读者。这样的结构我们平时在写作中很少想到，在平时的学习中应该将这样的表达积累起来，活学活用，才能提高书面表达水平。 Chickens are chickens, be it Fried Crisp Chicken, KFC chicken or Red-cooked Chicken. And hotels are hotels, be it the Great Wall Hotel, Kunlun H

32、otel or Jianguo Hotel. 台球、保龄球、高尔夫球，无非是球。 这句话的含义和前面两句一样，但是“无非是球”有反问“不都是球”的意思，因此为了体现这种情绪，参考译文将原句的叙述句转译为了问句，巧妙自然。 Can you say that the snooker, bowling or golf is not a ball game? 第三个人说：怎么能说活得太累?怎么能说活得太腻? 中文为了表示强调，常常将简单的句子或者意思相近的表达重复，翻译为英语时要尽量避免这种重复，争取让语言更加简练。 A third person retorts, How can you say th

33、at life is too exhausting and too boring? 同志们，振兴中华、匹夫有责，开放改革，重担就落在你我他身上。 看到“同志”，很多人的第一想法便是“comrade”，这个词具有一定的政治含义。其实这里是用“同志”指代“读者”，译为“my friends”更能拉近与读者的距离。 My friends, it“s our responsibility to rejuvenate our Chinese nation. We must undertake the heavy task of implementing the policy of opening-up and reform.
