CONTENT：

It was the Edinburgh Festival in 1974 and I was there performing in the Cambridge Footlights Revue. He was there being Mel Smith.
Whereas many boys or young men in their early 20s can be a bit awkward and diffident, Mel already exuded an air of great confidence.
So without being classically good-looking, this made him extremely attractive. I don’t think we used the term ‘babe magnet’ in those days but it could have applied to him.
I wouldn’t say we were kindred spirits, though our backgrounds weren’t so very different.

本期節(jié)目參考譯文：（參考譯文由該節(jié)目主持人提供，僅供參考，歡迎大家討論）

參考譯文1：

It was the Edinburgh Festival in 1974 and I was there performing in the Cambridge Footlights Revue. He was there being Mel Smith.
那是在1974年愛(ài)丁堡藝術(shù)節(jié)，我在劍橋大學(xué)腳燈社表演，當(dāng)時(shí)梅爾·史密斯也出席了藝術(shù)節(jié)。
Whereas many boys or young men in their early 20s can be a bit awkward and diffident, Mel already exuded an air of great confidence.
當(dāng)許多年輕人在二十出頭的年紀(jì)尚且還羞澀靦腆的時(shí)候，梅爾已經(jīng)表現(xiàn)出強(qiáng)大的自信心了。
So without being classically good-looking, this made him extremely attractive. I don’t think we used the term ‘babe magnet’ in those days but it could have applied to him.
因此就算沒(méi)有經(jīng)典帥哥外貌，這種強(qiáng)大的自信心也讓他魅力十足。當(dāng)時(shí)還沒(méi)有類(lèi)似“少女磁鐵”這種詞，但用來(lái)形容他是再適合不過(guò)了。
I wouldn’t say we were kindred spirits, though our backgrounds weren’t so very different.
盡管我們背景區(qū)別不大，但我們還不算是志趣相投。

參考譯文2：

It was the Edinburgh Festival in 1974 and I was there performing in the Cambridge Footlights Revue. He was there being Mel Smith.
那是1974年的愛(ài)丁堡藝術(shù)節(jié)，我作為劍橋腳燈社的一員參與了演出。梅爾·史密斯當(dāng)時(shí)也出席了藝術(shù)節(jié)。
Whereas many boys or young men in their early 20s can be a bit awkward and diffident, Mel already exuded an air of great confidence.
當(dāng)許多男孩和二十歲出頭的年輕男子尚且有些羞怯尷尬的時(shí)候，梅爾卻已經(jīng)表現(xiàn)出了極大的信心。
So without being classically good-looking, this made him extremely attractive. I don’t think we used the term ‘babe magnet’ in those days but it could have applied to him.
所以盡管沒(méi)有出眾的外表，這種自信依然使他魅力十足。我不認(rèn)為那些日子里我們有過(guò)“桃花運(yùn)”，但這個(gè)詞卻與他十分相符。
I wouldn’t say we were kindred spirits, though our backgrounds weren’t so very different.
我不能說(shuō)我們志趣相投，盡管我們的背景并沒(méi)有很大差別。

參考譯文3：

It was the Edinburgh Festival in 1974 and I was there performing in the Cambridge Footlights Revue. He was there being Mel Smith.
這是在1974年愛(ài)丁堡藝術(shù)節(jié)，我當(dāng)時(shí)在劍橋大學(xué)腳燈俱樂(lè)部表演。他——梅爾?史密斯也出席了藝術(shù)節(jié)。
Whereas many boys or young men in their early 20s can be a bit awkward and diffident, Mel already exuded an air of great confidence.
而許多男孩或者男青年當(dāng)時(shí)也不過(guò)20出頭，在他們這樣的年紀(jì)可能有些羞怯又有些靦腆，但梅爾則已經(jīng)顯出十足的自信了。
So without being classically good-looking, this made him extremely attractive. I don’t think we used the term ‘babe magnet’ in those days but it could have applied to him.
雖然他不具古典的俊美長(zhǎng)相，但他渾身散發(fā)的那股自信仍然使他看起來(lái)很有吸引力。當(dāng)時(shí)我們并沒(méi)有“桃花運(yùn)”這樣的詞，但是現(xiàn)在看來(lái)這個(gè)詞的意思適合用在那個(gè)充滿自信的他的身上。
I wouldn’t say we were kindred spirits, though our backgrounds weren’t so very different.
盡管我們的背景差不多，但是我不認(rèn)為我們算得上是知音。
