2023年3月英語(yǔ)四級(jí)翻譯預(yù)測(cè)：畫蛇添足

古時(shí)幾個(gè)人分一壺酒，他們都想獨(dú)自喝完那壺酒。所以就定了一個(gè)規(guī)矩：每人在地上畫一條蛇，誰(shuí)最先完成，這壺酒就歸誰(shuí)。有一個(gè)人很快就把蛇畫好了。他正打算喝這壺酒時(shí)，看見(jiàn)別人都還在忙著畫，就決定給蛇再畫上幾只腳。然而，他的蛇腳還沒(méi)加完，另一個(gè)人已經(jīng)把蛇畫好了。那人一下把酒壺奪了過(guò)去，說(shuō)：“有誰(shuí)見(jiàn)過(guò)長(zhǎng)腳的蛇?”這個(gè)故事告訴我們這樣的道理：做得過(guò)分和做得不夠都是不對(duì)的。

參考譯文：

In ancient time, several people shared a pot of wine and all of them wanted to finish the wine alone. So they set a rule that everyone would draw a snake on the ground and the man who finished first would have the wine. One man finished his snake very soon and he was about to drink the wine when he saw the others were still busy drawing. So he decided to add feet to the snake. However, before he could finish the feet, another man finished the snake and grabbed the pot from him, saying,“who has ever seen a snake with feet?"The story tells us going too far is as bad as not going far enough.
