<漢譯英> 追憶往事 中文原文: 老太太總以自家花園里那棵高大的玫瑰樹為榮。她非常喜歡告訴別人,數(shù)年前她初次結(jié)婚時從羅馬帶回來的枝條,是如何長成如今這般高大的。那時,她與丈夫乘馬車從羅馬旅行歸來(那時還沒有火車),途經(jīng)錫耶那南部的崎嶇路段時,馬車壞了,他們被迫就宿于路邊的小屋里。住宿條件當(dāng)然非常差;她一夜未能安眠,一早便起身穿好衣服,立于窗前,感譯受著撲面而來的席席涼風(fēng),等待著黎明的到來。事隔多年,她仍然記得那情景。明月高懸在青山群巒之上,遠(yuǎn)處山峰上的小鎮(zhèn)逐漸明亮起來,月亮慢慢消退,晨曦把群山涂得粉紅。突然之間,一束陽光照亮了城鎮(zhèn)。城里的窗戶相繼明亮起來,反射出耀眼的光芒。最后,整個小城宛若繁星,在天空中不停閃爍。 參考譯文: The old lady had always been proud of the great rose-tree in her garden, and was fond of telling how it had grown from a cutting she had brought years before from Italy, when she was first married. She and her husband had been travelling back in their carriage from Rome ( it was before the time of railways ) and on a bad piece of road south of Siena thecarriage had broken down, and had been forced to pass the night in a little house by the road-side. The accommodation was wretched of course; she had spent a sleepless night, and rising early had stood, wrapped up, at her window, with the cool air blowing on her face, to watch the dawn. She could still, after all these years, remember the blue mountains with the bright moon above them, and how a far-off town on one of the peaks had gradually grown whiter and whiter, till the moon faded, the mountains were touched with the pink of the rising sun, and suddenly the town was lit as by an illumination, one window after another catching and reflecting the sun' beam, till at last the whole little city twinkled and sparkled up in the sky like a nest of stars. 聲明:滬江網(wǎng)高度重視知識產(chǎn)權(quán)保護,發(fā)現(xiàn)本網(wǎng)站發(fā)布的信息包含有侵犯其著作權(quán)的鏈接內(nèi)容時,請聯(lián)系我們,我們將做相應(yīng)處理。

<英譯漢> 英文原文: Lehman shares dip in spite of earnings surge Lehman Brothers yesterday reported a 47 per cent jump in second-quarter earnings but its shares fell sharply amid investor fears that volatile markets and rising interest rates could cut into Wall Street's recent run of blockbuster profits. The Wall Street bank said it earned $1bn, or $1.69 a share, in the second quarter, up from $683m, or $1.13 a share, a year earlier. Strong fixed-income trading results offset a sharp drop in debt-underwriting revenue. 參考譯文: 雷曼第2季度收益大增47% 雷曼兄弟(Lehman Brothers)昨日公布,公司第二季度收益大增47%,但其股價卻大幅下挫,原因是投資者擔(dān)心波動較大的市場和不斷上升的利率,會中止華爾街投行近來利潤大增的趨勢。 這家華爾街投行表示,公司第二季度收益為 10 億美元,合每股收益1.69 美元,而上年同期的收益為6.83 億美元,合每股1.13 美元。該公司固定收益產(chǎn)品交易業(yè)務(wù)業(yè)績強勁,抵消了債券承銷收入大幅下降的負(fù)面影響。 聲明:滬江網(wǎng)高度重視知識產(chǎn)權(quán)保護,發(fā)現(xiàn)本網(wǎng)站發(fā)布的信息包含有侵犯其著作權(quán)的鏈接內(nèi)容時,請聯(lián)系我們,我們將做相應(yīng)處理。

<漢譯英> 中國的文學(xué) 中文原文: 與舞蹈和音樂相伴的歌謠跟口頭流傳的神話,遠(yuǎn)在文字出現(xiàn)之前就已大量產(chǎn)生。中國的文學(xué)正是發(fā)端于此。不過歌謠本是人們在生活中隨興而發(fā)的東西,上古時代也沒有保存和記載它們的手段,因之也就很快湮滅,不留痕跡。我們只能從一些古籍書中推斷它們的存在。古書中記載了一些據(jù)稱年代非常久遠(yuǎn)的歌謠,但是大多出于后人的偽托,能夠斷定朝代的歌謠要到《詩經(jīng)》里才能看見。從這點來看,古代神話對中國文學(xué)的影響更為顯著。 參考譯文: Long before the emergence of the written word, ballads, accompanied by music and dance,and myths, passed around by word of mouth, were widely popular. Chinese literature finds its origins in these traditions. However, ballads were what people improvised out of daily life, and due to lack of means to record and preserve them in ancient times, they quickly disappeared without leaving much of a trace. Today, we can only deduce their existence from ancient books, which recorded some time-honored ballads, though most of these are belived to be derivatives of later generations. Ballads in the Book of Songs are the earliest writings that can be dated. From this point of view, ancient mythology obviously has had a great influence on Chinese literature. 聲明:滬江網(wǎng)高度重視知識產(chǎn)權(quán)保護,發(fā)現(xiàn)本網(wǎng)站發(fā)布的信息包含有侵犯其著作權(quán)的鏈接內(nèi)容時,請聯(lián)系我們,我們將做相應(yīng)處理。

<漢譯英> 中文原文: 傳道者感嘆到:“著書立說沒有止境”,卻沒發(fā)覺他已高度評價了作家這一職業(yè)。的確,寫作、旅行、積聚財富都是沒有終結(jié)的。一個問題引發(fā)另外一個問題。我們不斷學(xué)習(xí),且永遠(yuǎn)達(dá)不到心中所渴望的那般學(xué)識淵博。我們永遠(yuǎn)雕刻不出自己心儀的塑像。當(dāng)發(fā)現(xiàn)一個新大陸,或翻過一座山脈時,我們總會看到遠(yuǎn)方還有未曾涉足的海洋與陸地。宇宙浩渺,總會有供我們勤奮努力的東西,總會有供我們探索的空間。它不像卡萊爾的著作,可以讀完。即使在其一角,在一個私人花園,或一個農(nóng)莊附近,四季輪回,天氣瞬息萬變,哪怕在那里生譯活了一輩子,也總會有讓我們驚喜的事情。 參考譯文: "Of making books there is no end," complained the Preacher; and did not perceive how highly he was praising letters as an occupation. There is no end, indeed, to making books or experiments, or to travel, or to gathering wealth. Problem gives rise to problem. We may study for ever, and we are never as learned as we would. We have never made a statue worthy of our dreams. And when we have discovered a continent, or crossed a chain of mountains, it is only to find another ocean or another plain upon the further side. In the infinite universe there is room for our swiftest diligence and to spare. It is not like the works of Carlyle, which can be read to an end. Even in a corner of it, in a private park, or in the neighbourhood of a single hamlet, the weather and the seasons keep so deftly changing that although we walk there for a lifetime there will be always something new to startle and delight us. 聲明:滬江網(wǎng)高度重視知識產(chǎn)權(quán)保護,發(fā)現(xiàn)本網(wǎng)站發(fā)布的信息包含有侵犯其著作權(quán)的鏈接內(nèi)容時,請聯(lián)系我們,我們將做相應(yīng)處理。

<漢譯英> 中文原文: 止謗莫如自修 張恨水先生曾寫過一篇《為人應(yīng)當(dāng)接受批評》,他說:“生平很少和人打筆墨官司,就是人家指出我的名姓來教訓(xùn)一頓,我也不曾回復(fù)一個字。這樣做,我并非怯懦,也并非過分的容忍。我有個感想,我錯了,止謗莫如自修。我不錯,最好借事實來答復(fù)。這是一個辦法,也許不適合他人,但至少我自己,在做人上糾正了不少錯誤。而三十年來的寫作生涯,略有寸進(jìn),一大半也譯就是根據(jù)別人的批評而得的。” 恨水先生對待批評的態(tài)度,很值得當(dāng)今文化人學(xué)習(xí)。 參考譯文: Mr.Zhang Henshui once wrote up A Man Should Accept Criticisms. In this article, he said, "I seldom deliver paper arguments with people and even write a single word in retort when someone launches a criticism by mentioning my name. Neither does this mean that I am weak, nor over tolerant. I think if I did something wrong, the better way to against defaming is to do self-examination; if it's not my fault, I'd rather air my opinions based on the fact. This may be not practical for other people, but at least it helps me a lot on behaving myself. During the life of my over thirty years writting, some progress I have made mostly benefits from others' criticisms." Mr.Zhang's attitude to criticism is well worthy of intellectuals’ following. 聲明:滬江網(wǎng)高度重視知識產(chǎn)權(quán)保護,發(fā)現(xiàn)本網(wǎng)站發(fā)布的信息包含有侵犯其著作權(quán)的鏈接內(nèi)容時,請聯(lián)系我們,我們將做相應(yīng)處理。

<漢譯英> 中文原文: 一艘貨輪卸貨后在浩瀚的大海上返航時,突然遭遇了可怕的風(fēng)暴。水手們驚慌失措,經(jīng)驗豐富的老船長果斷地命令水手們立刻打開貨艙,往里面灌水?!按L是不是瘋了,往船艙里灌水只會增加船的壓力,使船下沉,這不是自尋死路嗎?”一個年輕的水手嘟噥著。 參考譯文: Homeward bound after unloading its cargo, a ship ran into a violent storm in the middle of a vast ocean. The seamen were thrown into a panic. Without hesitation, the old but seasoned captain ordered water be poured into the hold immediately. "A mad man, isn't he? He is going to bring his own destruction by filling water into the hold and making the ship go down", grumbled a young sailor. 聲明:滬江網(wǎng)高度重視知識產(chǎn)權(quán)保護,發(fā)現(xiàn)本網(wǎng)站發(fā)布的信息包含有侵犯其著作權(quán)的鏈接內(nèi)容時,請聯(lián)系我們,我們將做相應(yīng)處理。

<漢譯英> 中文原文: 一頭馱著沉重貨物的驢,氣喘吁吁地請求僅馱了一點貨物的馬:“幫我馱點東西吧。對你來說,這不算什么;可對我來說,卻可以減輕不少負(fù)擔(dān)。” 馬不高興地回答:“你憑什么讓我?guī)湍泷W東西,我樂得輕松呢?!?不久,驢累譯死了。主人將驢背上的所有貨物全部加在馬背上,馬懊悔不已。 膨脹的自我使我們忽略了一個基本事實,那就是:我們同在生活這條大船上,別人的好壞與我們休戚相關(guān)。別人的不幸不能給我們帶來快樂,相反,在幫助別人的時候,其實也是在幫助我們自己。 參考譯文: A donkey, heavily loaded down, panted to a horse that was lightly laden :"Can you help me carry some of my load ? It is nothing for you but is a big relief for me ." "Why should I do that for you ? I am happy with my light load," said the horse, scowlingly. Soon after, the donkey died of exhaustion. The master transferred everything from the back of the donkey onto the horse, which now deeply regretted its action. An inflated ego blinds us to the fact that we are all living together on the same boat. The fortunes of other affects our well-being. The misfortune of others does not bring us happiness. On the contrary, helping others is in fact, helping ourselves. 聲明:滬江網(wǎng)高度重視知識產(chǎn)權(quán)保護,發(fā)現(xiàn)本網(wǎng)站發(fā)布的信息包含有侵犯其著作權(quán)的鏈接內(nèi)容時,請聯(lián)系我們,我們將做相應(yīng)處理。

通過畫家的筆,將這位圣者慈祥的容貌畫下來,作為世人的典范。 用完晚餐之后,眾多的嘉賓前來觀賞這幅慈愛的畫。肖像畫家將這幅畫像拿出來的時候,所有人大吃一驚。因為畫里的人根本沒有慈善的面貌,反而充滿暴戾,粗野,邪惡的氣息。國王一看,生氣地要人把畫家拖出去鞭打。 這時,圣者聽到驚呼聲,跑了過來,他看到這幅畫后,跪倒在地:“國王,這畫里的人,才是真實的我啊?!眹躞@詫地問:“為什么?”圣者道:“這譯就是我一生掙扎著,不想去做的那個人啊?!?在這世上,沒有天生的圣者,惟有能時時刻刻自我反省,自我檢視的人,才能成為圣者。 聲明:滬江網(wǎng)高度重視知識產(chǎn)權(quán)保護,發(fā)現(xiàn)本網(wǎng)站發(fā)布的信息包含有侵犯其著作權(quán)的鏈接內(nèi)容時,請聯(lián)系我們,我們將做相應(yīng)處理。
