2、至于稍有微疾便惶惶不可终日。但并非每个人都关注自己及至亲至爱之人的内心世界的阴晴。 3 一个人的生命究竟有多大意义，这有什么标准可以衡量吗 ?提出一个绝对的标准当然很困难；但是，大体上看一个人对待生命的态度是否严肃认真，看他对待工作、生活的态度如何，也就不难对这个人的存在意义做出适当的估计了。 古来一切有成就的人，都很严肃地对待自己的生命，当他活着一天，总要尽量多工作、 多学习，不肯虚度年华，不让时间白白地浪费掉。我国历代的劳动人民以及大政治家、大思想家等等都莫不如此。 4 乔羽的歌大家都熟悉。但他另外两大爱好却鲜为人知，那就是钓鱼和喝酒。 晚年的乔羽喜爱垂钓，他说： “有水有鱼的地方大都是有
3、好环境的，好环境便会给人好心情。我认为最好的钓鱼场所不是舒适的、给你准备好饿鱼的垂钓园，而是那极其有吸引力的大自然野外天成的场所。 ”钓鱼是一项能够陶冶性情的运动，有益于身心健康。乔羽说： “钓鱼可分三个阶段：第一阶段是吃鱼：第二阶段是吃鱼和情趣兼而有之：第三阶段主要是钓趣，面对一池 碧水，将忧心的烦恼全都抛在一边，使自己的身心得到充分休息。 ”. 5 中国是世界四大文明古国之一，地大物博，拥有茂密的深林、壮丽的山河、如利剑直插云霄的高峰、雄伟壮丽的瀑布、秀丽的湖泊及富有中华文化光辉的名胜古迹，令世界各国人民神往。但是，更重要的是，中国具有五千多年的历史，遗留下无数的历史文物，包括珍贵珠宝、古

Ill let you ride on me to your hearts content after dinner. Is that okay? If I dont keep my word, Ill be dammed! “ 【试题解析】 “撒谎是小狗 ”是地道的汉语，翻译时不能直译，应考虑上下文的意
5、思，其中的 “撒谎 ”是指 “不守信用，说话不算数 ”，因此不应译为 lie， 而是 If I dont keep my word。 “小狗 ”也不可直译为 Ill be a dog，因为 “狗 ”在英语中的形象与汉语并不对等，汉语中的 “狗 ”是骂人的话，故译文采用了 Ill be dammed的意译手法。 【知识模块】 翻译 2 【正确答案】 In my opinion, everyone in fact has a small garden, which is their inner world.

6、does the inner world. The difference between men and other animals, in addition to many well-known ones, may also exist in their inner worlds.

8、带有哲学思辨色彩的议论文体，故译文总体上采用一般现在时。 2第 1句的 “内心世界 ”译为 inner world， “其实 ”可译成 in fact，需要注意的是它所修饰的是 “谁都有一个小小的花园 ”，所以翻译时应注意它的正确位置，可译成everyone in fact has a small garden。 3第 2句的 “人的内 心世界也是需要开发的 ”用 so does结构替代，避免重复。 4第 3句的 “人和动物 ”应译成 men and other animals，将 “人 ”和 “动物 ”并列比较时， “人 ”不宜译成 people。 “众所周知的诸多方面 ”可译为 many
9、well-known ones，简洁地道。 5第 5句的 “以至于 ”可译为英语 sothat 句型；因为此句主要将作为生理学概念的 “心脏健康 ”和作为心理学概念的 “心理健康 ”进行比较，可将 “心脏的健损 ”译成physical health(well being)of his heart；将 “内心世界的阴晴 ”译成 the brightness or cloudiness of their own inner world，即精确表达原文的含义，又保留原文的修辞手段，符合原文的文体特征。 【知识模块】 翻译 3 【正确答案】 What is the significance of li

12、一般现在时；第 2段追述历史，以古证今，故应转换成过去时。 2第 1段第 1句的第 1个分句虽非一个独立的问句，但若将其单独译为问句，则与第 2个分句形成连续发问的效果，发人深思。 3第 2段第 1句较长，可译为两句。 “不肯 ” 可译为 would not； “古来 ”，亦即 “古往今来 ”之意，可译成 Throughout the ages或 Throughout the history， “严肃地对待 ”可译成 take seriously。 4第 2段第 2句的 “莫不如此 ”译为 the same is true of。 【知识模块】 翻译 4 【正确答案】 In his later

21、 fivethousand years，继而用 such as列举 innumerable historical relics的具体内容，再以定语从句作结，结构上显得有起伏。 3 “具有 ”用 be possessed of译，是书面表达，常用于正式文体中。这里也可选择动词 possess或 have来翻 译。 4 “惊叹 ”按 “赢得赞赏 ”之意译为短语 win ones admiration，不宜译成 surprise，startle或 take ones breathaway。 5考虑到本文需要实现劝说外国人来中国旅游这一功能，最后一句可译为 You are sure to find greatenjoyment of all these attractions in China,a much-admired dream land! 【知识模块】 翻译
