翻译练习题

翻译练习题I．汉译英1.常常是黄昏或者夜晚。丢了一天的疲倦和纷扰,我漫步在未名湖边的小路上。明灭闪烁的路灯撒下朦朦胧胧的光晕,如雾似雨。摇曳的树影和轻轻的晚风,送来花的清香。间或有数点草虫的鸣叫,一缕缕年轻人的笑语和歌声,飘到小路上来,与湖面上倒映的灯火,暗蓝的树,天上的星光,一抹晚霞或一钩淡淡的新月,辉映成有声有色的图景。真像是一首诗,一首写不尽读不完的诗。Oftenitwasatduskoreveningwhenaday'stroublesandfatiguewereover,IwanderedalongthepathsaroundLakeNo-Name.Amistyhalesurroundedthetwinklinglightfromthelampposts,andthetreeswaved;alongwiththesoftbreezecamethepleasantfragranceofflowers.Occasionallyyoucouldhearinsectschucklingandyoungpeople'slaughingandsinging.These,togetherwiththereflectionofthelamppostonthewater,thedarkblueshapesoftrees,thestarlighthighaboveinthenightsky,andsometimeswithatouchofthesettingsunoracrescentofthenewmoon,producedacolorfulscene,asceneofpoem,whichisforeverbeingwrittenandread.2.山居生活寂寞单调,冬夜僵冷的黑暗也更是难堪。从小镇买来带有玻璃罩的油灯光芒是微弱的。为了获得更多的光亮,我试用废弃的瓶瓶罐罐制作了许多形态不一的小油灯。每盏小油灯都绽开一朵火花,奉献小小的光亮。微弱的光也能划破黑暗,对沉沉的黑夜是一种无言的反抗。即使熄灭了,它也燃烧过。何况还能再一次点燃,继续以它怯弱而又勇敢的火光向黑夜挑战。我满心喜悦地观赏着我自己手下诞生的一点光明。在长夜漫漫的动乱岁月里,它燃起了我精神上的火焰。Lifeinthemountainvillagewasboringandalwaysmadeonefeellonely,andthecoldwinternightwasevenharder.Theglass-tubeoillampboughtinthetowngaveoutonlyveryfeeblelight.Inordertogetmorelight,Itriedandmademanylittleoillampsofvariousshapeswithallkindsofusedbottlesandpots.Everylittleoillampgaveoutalittlefire,givingoutalittlelight.Thefeeblelightcouldaswellshinethroughthedarkness,asilentprotestagainstthedarknight.Eventhoughtheywouldfinallyburnout,theyatleasthadlitandcouldbelitagainanddefythedarknightwiththeirfeeblebutbravefirelight.Iwasfilledwithhappinesswatchingthetinylightofmyowncreation.Itwastheselightsthatlitupthefireofmyspiritduringthoselonganddarkdaysofpoliticalturmoil.3.逢年过节,把屋子收拾利索,长了能维持几个月,短了不消几天,屋子里又乱了,主要是书在捣乱,到处是书堆。外出总禁不住要逛书店,逛书店就不可能不买书。新书、准备要看的书、看了一半的书、写作正用得着的书、有保存价值的书,占据了我房子里的绝大部分空间;而且还不断扩展,每时每刻都在蚕食供我存身的那块空间。这不是侵略是什么?我舒舒服服、自得其乐地接受这种侵略和征服。BeforeeveryNewYearormajorcelebrations,therewouldbeageneralcleaning.Theroomcouldusuallybekepttidyforacoupleofmonths,butoftenitwasamatterofonlyafewdaysbeforetheroomwasamessagain,andthatwasmainlyduetothosebooks,pilesofbooks,everywhere.WheneverIwasoutonbusiness,Icouldn'thelpgoingtobookstores,andonceIwasthere,Icouldneverresistthetemptationofbuyingmore.Newbooks,booksthatIhadathoughtofreading,booksofwhichIonlyfinishedhalf,booksneededformywriting,andbooksthathadvaluestokeeptookupmostofthespaceinmyroom,andtheywereeverexpanding,eatingupa11thetimetheremainingpartofmyroomthatprovidedtheminimumspaceformeasthedwellerthere.Isn'tthisaninvasion?ButIacceptedinvasionofsuchkindwithcomfortandpleasure.4.孩子简单。他们不爱钱,不爱荣誉,不爱大而漂亮的房子,有人把他弄痛了,哭过一场也什么都忘了。所以,他们脑袋一碰枕头就能呼呼睡去,拥有世界上最佳质量的睡眠。孩子好奇。孩子总在想一些东西,也在思考一些东西。他们的大脑常常处于快乐的旋转之中。一朵奇特的云,一片鲜见的树叶,都会引发孩子许多的联想。同样的生活,在孩子的眼里会呈现出我们发现不了的乐趣和快乐。Childrenarenotsophisticated.Theydonotlovemoneyorreputation,orthosebigandmagnificenthouses.Iftheyarehurtbysomeone,theycryitoff.Thatiswhytheyusuallyfalltosoundsleeponcetheirheadstouchthepillow,andtheyenjoythebest-qualitysleepintheworld.Childrenarcalwayscurious.Theyarealwaysfancyingandthinking,andtheirbrainisalwaysinahappywhirl.Astrangely-shapedcloud,ararely-seenleaf,allthesewillarouseendlessassociationsfromthem.Thesamelife,inchildren'seyes,willpresentpleasuresandhappinesswhichwegrown-upscanneverimagine.5.处在心灵的荒漠中,谁都会为这无际的空虚而感到寂寞、孤独甚至恐惧。其实,这荒漠只是视野中的“海市蜃楼”。“外面世界歌声”依旧悦耳,花草依旧芳艳,热情的朋友们正向你走来。只要你自己能够拨开眼前的迷雾,仔细审视视野中的景象,正视内心的细微感动,就会发现视野中的美,自然而然地摆脱这无援的境地。Ifyoufeelyourselfinadesertofheart,youwouldcertainlyfeellonelyandevenfrightenedamongsuchavastspaceofemptiness.Infact,itisjustavisionarymirage,commontomanypeople.Infact,therearealwayspleasantmelodiesintheworldoutside,aswellasprettyscenesandwarm-heartedfriendswalkinguptoyou.Youaresuretoseethebeautyinyourvisionandgetawayfromthehelplesssituationifyoucanseethroughthemistaroundyou,studythescenesinyourvision,faceeverylittlemoveinyourheart.6.那么失去后的感觉会使你明白拥有的宝贵。当你在黑暗中勾勒黎明的天空时,才明白已从眼前过去的东方朝霞有多美丽;当你人过中年时,才明白年轻时代荒废了多少光阴;当你默数浑浑噩噩的往日时,才明白该干而没干的太多太多;当你踊踊独行在人生路上时,才明白曾经同行的幸福。如果认为一切都是自然的给予,那么失去也将是必然的惩罚。Youwillrealizethevalueofpossessingsomethingonlyafteryouloseit.Whenyouimaginethefeeblelightofdawnintotaldarkness,yourealizethebeautyofmorningsunlightthathaspassed;youarealreadyadvancedinyearsbeforeyouwailoverthetimewastedwhenyouwereyoung;whenyouaresilentlycountingthenumberofdaysidledaway,youfindthatyouhaveleftsomanythingsthatshouldhavebeenaccomplished;andyouwillnotseehowvaluableitistohaveacompanioninlifeuntilyoufindyourselfstrugglingalongallalone.Ifyoutakeeverythingforgranted,youaresuretoloseit,apunishmentthatisinevitable.7.水滴可以穿石,绳锯可以断木,飞瀑之下,怎么没有深渊?飞瀑是深渊的母亲,是她孕育着深渊;飞瀑是深渊的上帝,是他创造出深渊。飞瀑之于深渊,真是关系密切,作用巨大。飞瀑是深渊之因,深渊是飞瀑之果。看到飞瀑下的深渊,自然会对飞瀑肃然起敬。可是有些人,却不尽然,他们站在深渊面前,赞叹的只是那一潭深邃的绿水,却忘记了那飞瀑日夜冲击的功劳。Drippingwatercandrillthroughthestone,asmuchasseesawingropecancuttreetrunks.Soitisalltoonaturalthatunderthedownpourofwaterfallstheremustbeadeeppond.Waterfallsaremothersthatgivebirthtodeepponds,orgodthatcreatesthem.Waterfallshaveeverythingtodowiththepondsbeneathastheformeristhecausewhilethelattertheresult.Onegrowsrespectfultowaterfallswhenshe/heseesthepondbeneath.Butnotforsomeonezthosepeopleonlyadmiretheprofund
