湖北省第十三屆外語翻譯大賽英語專業(yè)組決賽試題
I．下面的英語段落后提供的漢語譯文有未完成的地方，這些未完成的地方用劃線標出，并均提供了三個譯文（分別標為A,B,C），請選擇你認為最好的譯文.（2x10=20%）
Be very wary of opinions that flatter your self-esteem.①Both men and women, ②nine times out of ten, are firmly convinced of the superior excellence of their own sex.There is abundant evidence on both sides.If you are a man, you can point out that most poets and men of science are male;if you are a woman, you can retort that so are most criminals.③The question is inherently insoluble, but self-esteem conceals this from most people.We are all, whatever part of the world we come from, ④persuaded that our own nation is superior to all others.Seeing that each nation has its characteristic merits and demerits, ⑤we adjust our standard of values so as to make out that the merits possessed by our nation are the really important ones, while its demerits are comparatively trivial.⑥Here, again, the rational man will admit that the question is one to which there is no demonstrably right answer.It is more difficult ⑦to deal with the self-esteem of man as man, because we cannot argue out the matter with some non-human mind.The only way I know of dealing with this general human conceit ⑧is to remind ourselves that man is a brief episode in the life of a small planet in a little corner of the universe, ⑨and that for aught we know, other parts of the cosmos may contain beings ⑩as superior to ourselves as we are to jelly-fish.對于那些容易助長你狂妄自大的觀點尤宜提防。①??②??雙方都有不可勝數(shù)的證據(jù)。如果你自己是男性，你可以指出大多數(shù)詩人和科學家都是男子；而如果你是女性，你可以用大多數(shù)罪犯也都是男子來反唇相譏。③??但是，自尊心卻使大多數(shù)人看不到這一點。不管我們屬于世界上哪個國家，④??看到每個民族都有自己特有的長處和短處，⑤??以便證明自己民族的長處乃是真正重要的長處，而其缺點相對來說則微不足道。⑥??由于我們無法和人類之外的智者辯論清楚，所以就更難⑦??就我所知，處理這個普遍存在的人類自高自大問題的唯一方法就是⑧??⑨??宇宙中其他地方還有一些生物，⑩??
①
不論男人或女人，男人和女人們，男人和女人，②十之八九都堅信男性或女性特別優(yōu)越。十之八九都堅信自己性別的優(yōu)越。
十之八九都堅信自己的性別比對方優(yōu)越。③
這個問題天生就無法解決； 這個問題本來就無法解決； 這個問題本來是無法解決的； ④
我們總是認為自己的民族比所有其他民族都優(yōu)越。大家總是認為我們自己的民族比所有其他民族都優(yōu)越。大家總是被說服自己的民族比所有其他民族都優(yōu)越。⑤
我們就要調整自己的價值標準，我們卻調整自己的價值標準，我們就把自己的價值標準加以調整，⑥
在這個問題上，一位明白事理的人也一定會承認，它沒有明顯正確的答案。在這個問題上，理智的人會承認這個問題是沒有可以論證的正確答案的。這里，明白事理的人一定會承認，它沒有明顯正確的答案。⑦
處理人的自高自大的問題，處理人之作為人的自高自大的問題，處理作為“人”的自尊問題，⑧
要經常提醒自己，在茫茫宇宙中的小角落的小星球的生命史上，人只是一個簡短的插曲，要經常提醒自己，在茫茫宇宙中一個小小角落的一顆小小星球的生命史上，人類僅僅是一個短暫的插曲，要經常提醒自己，人類只是宇宙中小小角落里一個小行星上生命的短暫插曲而已，⑨
而且，說不定，并且，我們知道，我們知道，⑩
他們優(yōu)越于我們的生命，就像我們優(yōu)越于水母一樣。他們優(yōu)越于我們像我們優(yōu)越于水母。
他們優(yōu)越于我們的程度不亞于我們優(yōu)越于水母的程度。
II．下面的漢語段落后提供的英語譯文有未完成的地方，這些未完成的地方用劃線標出，并均提供了三個譯文（分別標為A,B,C），請選擇你認為最好的譯文.（2x10=20%）
常聽到這樣的抱怨：做女人真是吃力。我深有同感。細究起來，① 這種吃力，不僅是體力上的，更主要的是心理上的。
② 在我們還是小女孩的時候，我們就懂得一條千真萬確的道理：女人是半邊天，男女都一樣。那時候，這口號被我們喊在嘴里，心里只感到驕傲與豪邁；那時候，③ 這口號被我們努力地落實為行為，確實體現(xiàn)出了女人和男人有一樣的智慧一樣的能力一樣的才干，什么“鐵姑娘隊”、“三八包車組”、“女飛行員”等等，總之，在各行各業(yè)女人們的表現(xiàn)絕不落后于男人；總之，④ 男人能夠做到的事情女人沒有辦不到的；總之，⑤ 女人和男人應該而且必須并駕齊驅?！澳信家粯印钡目谔?，那么響亮地被貫徹了幾十年，并組成為一種世界觀，影響著我們的人生，而且，⑥ 這口號還是一種具有歷史意義的標志——中國婦女解放的標志。但我不能認同。
萬事萬物由方方面面組成，⑦ 而那個“男女都一樣”的口號，只是向女人提出要求，卻沒有相同的口號要求男人和女人做得一樣：一樣耐心持久地撫育孩子；一樣任勞任怨地操持家務；一樣盡心盡責地伺奉老人。仔細想想，⑧ “男女都一樣”的口號曾鼓舞著許多婦女竭力地建樹了和男人一樣的豐功偉績，同時，⑨ 女人卻依然要做那些男人不屑一顧的事情。其實，⑩ 所謂“一樣”的口號，使女人們在做著女人的同時再做男人；其實，所謂“一樣”的口號，讓女人們又給自己加重一挑擔子；其實，女人和男人在根本上還是不一樣。

To be truly happy is a question of how we begin and not of how we end, of what we want and not of what we have.An aspiration is a joy for ever, a possession as solid as a landed estate, a fortune which we can never exhaust and which gives us year by year a revenue of pleasurable activity.To have many of these is to be spiritually rich.Life is only a very dull and ill-directed theatre unless we have some interests in the piece;and to those who have neither art nor science, the world is a mere arrangement of colors or a rough footway where they may very well break their shins.It is in virtue of his own desires and curiosities that any man continues to exist with even patience, that he is charmed by the look of things and people, and that he wakens every morning with a renewed appetite for work and pleasure.Desire and curiosity are the two eyes through which he sees the world in the most enchanted colors: it is they that make women beautiful or fossils interesting;and the man may squander his estate and come to beggary, but if he keeps these two amulets he is still rich in the possibilities of pleasure.VI．請將下列短文翻譯成英語。（20%）

1.不逢北國之秋，已將近十余年了。在南方每年到了秋天，總要想起陶然亭的蘆花，釣魚臺的柳影，西山的蟲唱，玉泉的夜月，潭拓寺的鐘聲。在北平即使不出門去罷，就是在皇城人海之中，租人家一椽破屋來住著，早晨起來，泡一碗濃茶，向院子一坐，你也能看得到很高很高的碧綠的天色，聽得到青天下馴鴿的飛聲。從槐樹葉底，朝東細數(shù)著一絲一絲漏下來的日光，或在破壁腰中，靜對著像喇叭似的牽牛花（朝榮）的藍朵，自然而然地也能夠感覺到十分的秋意。說到了牽?；?，我以為藍色或白色者為佳，紫黑色次之，淡紅色最下。最好，還要在牽牛花底教長著幾根疏疏落落的尖細且長的秋草，使作陪襯。
①It is more than a decade since I last saw autumn in the North.②Suppose you put up in a humble rented house inside the bustling imperial city, you can, on getting up at dawn, sit in your courtyard sipping a cup of strong tea, leisurely watch the high azure skies and listen to pigeons circling overhead.③As to morning glories, I like their blue or white flowers best, dark purple ones second best, and pink ones third best.④When I am in the south, the arrival of each autumn will put me in mind of Peiping’s Tao Ran Ting with its reed catkins, Diao Yu Tai with its shady willow trees, Western Hills with their chirping insects, Yu Quan Shan Mountain on a moonlight evening and Tan Zhe Si with its reverberating bell.⑤Saunter eastward under locust trees to closely observe streaks of sunlight filtering through their foliage, or quietly watch the trumpet-shaped blue flowers of morning glories climbing half way up a dilapidated wall, and an intense feeling of autumn will of itself well up inside you.⑥It will be most desirable to have them set off by some tall thin grass planted underneath here and there.2.文化并不限于語言那么簡單，它包含了思想、感情和我認為特別重要的一環(huán)――感官反映。要知道自己的文化傾向，最準確的指標可以說是我們的直覺反應。語言固然是其中一種指標，因為沒有多少人會用第二語言來表達突如其來的痛楚或快感；但同樣我們也有非常明顯的非語言指標，其中一項很重要的就是對食物的偏愛，特別是身體不舒服的時候想吃什么。上面所說的種種，大概可以概括地稱為本能感覺。正因為這些反映完全不受我們自己或別人的希望支配和偽裝，所以準確性很高。
①Culture is not just a matter of language;②few people would shout out sudden pain and pleasure in a second language.③It is our instinctive responses which invariably reveal our cultural affiliations.④Language is one obvious indicator;⑤it involves the intellect, emotion, and----to me the most important of all----our senses.⑥But there are clear non-linguistic indicators as well, one of the most important being our preferences for food, particularly when we feel unwell.⑦Since these are responses uncamouflaged by our own or other people’s manipulation and wishful thinking, they are very reliable.⑧All these can perhaps be summed up as “gut feelings”.V．請將下列短文翻譯成漢語。（20分）
Why is this? The reason is that the strange and bitter miracle of life is nowhere else so evident as in our youth.And what is the essence of that strange and bitter miracle of life which we feel so poignantly, so unutterably, with such a bitter pain and joy, when we are young? It is this: that being rich, we are so poor;that being mighty, we can yet have nothing;that seeing, breathing, smelling, tasting all around us the impossible wealth and glory of this earth, feeling with an intolerable certitude that the whole structure of the enchanted life----the most fortunate, wealthy, good, and happy life that any man has ever known----is ours----is ours at once, immediately and forever, the moment that we choose to take a step, or stretch a hand, or say a word----we yet know that we really keep, hold, take and possess forever----nothing.All passes;nothing lasts: the moment that we put our hand upon it, it
melts away like smoke, is gone forever, and the snake is eating at our heart again;we see then what we are and what our lives must come to.(15分)
The gods, they say, give breath, and they take it away.But the same could be said----could it not?----of the humble comma.Add it to the present clause, and, of a sudden, the mind is, quite literally, given pause to think;take it out if you wish or forget it and the mind is deprived of a resting place.Yet still the comma gets no respect.It seems just a slip of a thing, a pedant’s(書呆子)tick, a blip（光點）on the edge of our consciousness, a kind of printer’s smudge（污點）almost.Small, we claim, is beautiful(especially in the age of the microchip).Yet what is so often used, and so rarely called, as the comma----unless it be breath itself?(5分)

在最近一次的金融危機中，中國堅定不移地承擔了對本地區(qū)和全世界的責任，幫助避免了又一個危險的貨幣貶值周期。我們必須繼續(xù)攜手合作，對付全球金融系統(tǒng)面臨的威脅以及對整個亞太地區(qū)本應有的發(fā)展和繁榮的威脅。
在二十一世紀，你們這一代將有極大的機會，將我們科學家、醫(yī)生、工程師的各種才能結合起來，用于追求共同的發(fā)展。我們早就在一些合作領域中取得了突破，包括從醫(yī)治脊柱對裂到預報惡劣天氣和地震等。這些突破證明，只要我們合作，就能改變中美乃至全世界數(shù)以百萬計的人的生活。擴大我們在科技領域的合作是我們給未來奉獻的厚禮之一。

媽媽說：―今年我們可以做一個收獲節(jié)，也請你們爹爹來嘗嘗我們的新花生，如何？‖我們都答應了。母親把花生做成好幾樣的食品，還吩咐這節(jié)期要在園里底茅亭舉行。
Behind our house there was a patch of land.―It would be a pity to let it go wild,‖ said Mother.―I suggest that since you are all so fond of peanuts you should grow some there.‖
We children and the little maidservants were all delighted.Some of us bought seeds, some dug up the plot and others watered it.In just a few months we had a harvest.Mother said, ―Let’s have a harvest festival tonight and invite your father to taste our fresh peanuts.‖

V.說明：《落花生》這篇文章曾被多位翻譯家翻譯過，在此特附上翻譯家楊憲益夫婦的譯文
我們屋后有半畝隙地。母親說：“讓它荒蕪著怪可惜，既然你們那么愛吃花生，就辟來做花生園罷?！蔽覀儙祖⒌芎蛶讉€小丫頭都很喜歡——買種的買種，動土的動土，灌園的灌園；過不了幾個月，居然收獲了！
媽媽說：“今年我們可以做一個收獲節(jié)，也請你們爹爹來嘗嘗我們的新花生，如何？”我們都答應了。母親把花生做成好幾樣的食品，還吩咐這節(jié)期要在園里底茅亭舉行。
Behind our house there was a patch of land.“It would be a pity to let it go wild,” said Mother.“I suggest that since you are all so fond of peanuts you should grow some there.”
We children and the little maidservants were all delighted.Some of us bought seeds, some dug up the plot and others watered it.In just a few months we had a harvest.Mother said, “Let’s have a harvest festival tonight and invite your father to taste our fresh peanuts.”
