漢譯英翻譯：

窗 Random Thoughts on the Window

又是春天，窗子可以常開了。春天從窗外進(jìn)來(lái)，人在屋子里坐不住，就從門里出去。不過(guò)屋子外的春天太賤了！到處是陽(yáng)光，不像射破屋里陰深的那樣明亮；到處是給太陽(yáng)曬得懶洋洋的風(fēng)，不像攪動(dòng)屋里沉悶的那樣有生氣。就是鳥語(yǔ)，也似乎瑣碎而單薄，需要屋里的寂靜來(lái)做襯托。我們因此明白，春天是該鑲嵌在窗子里看的，好比畫配了框子。

It is spring again and the window can be left open as often as one would like.As spring comes in through the windows, so people——unable to bear staying inside any longer——go outdoors.The spring outside, however, is much too cheap, for the sun shines on everything, and so does not seem as bright as that which shoots into the darkness of the house.Outside the sun-slothed breeze blows everywhere, but it is not so lively as that which stirs the gloominess inside the house.Even the chirping of the birds sounds so thin and broken that the quietness of the house is needed to set it off.It seems that spring was always meant to be put behind a windowpane for show, just like a picture in a frame.同時(shí)，我們悟到，門和窗有不同的意義。當(dāng)然，門是造了讓人出進(jìn)的。但是，窗子有時(shí)也可作為進(jìn)出口用，譬如小偷或小說(shuō)里私約的情人就喜歡爬窗子。所以窗子和門的根本分別，決不僅是有沒(méi)有人進(jìn)來(lái)出去。若據(jù)賞春一事來(lái)看，我們不妨這樣說(shuō)：有了門，我們可以出去；有了窗，我們可以不必出去。窗子打通了大自然和人的隔膜，把風(fēng)和太陽(yáng)逗引進(jìn)來(lái)，使屋子里也關(guān)著一部分春天，讓我們安坐了享受，無(wú)需再到外面去找。

At the same time it also becomes clear that the door has a different significance from the window.Of course, doors were made for people to pass through;but a window can also sometimes serve as an entrance or as an exit, and is used as such by thieves and by lovers in novels.In fact the fundamental difference between a door and a window has nothing to do with them being either entrances or exits.When it comes to the admiration of spring, it could be put this way: a door makes it possible for one to go out, whereas a window makes it possible for one not to have to.A window helps to pull down the partition between man and nature.It leads breezes and sunlight in, and keeps part of the spring in the house.It allows one to sit and enjoy the spring in peace, and makes it unnecessary to go looking for it outside.評(píng)價(jià)與分析：

1、Random of thoughts on the window 在random一詞中，給人以無(wú)限遐想之意，正好符合窗給人的感覺(jué).random一詞用得比較恰到好處

2、and the window can be left open as often as one would like 用定冠詞the加單數(shù)名詞代表窗

子，具有一致性。而常開窗的翻譯:one would like 沒(méi)有比翻譯成can open often 則要漂亮得多，比較有人文氣息而且具有美感！

3、as spring comes in through the windows表達(dá)春天來(lái)了，運(yùn)用了中文里面的擬人手法，將春天描繪得活靈活現(xiàn)，生動(dòng)而富有美感。

4、for the sun shines on everything運(yùn)用for來(lái)說(shuō)明了原由，如果是我自己，則會(huì)翻譯成the sunshine is everywhere.顯然他的翻譯比我翻譯漂亮多了。

5、even the chirping of the birds sounds so thin and broken that the quietness of the house is needed to set it off

在這里，說(shuō)thin and broken而不說(shuō) broken and thin 由于語(yǔ)音的關(guān)系，音節(jié)少的詞放在前面，多的放在后面，結(jié)構(gòu)上顯得平穩(wěn)，不至于頭重腳輕，讀起來(lái)比較有韻律，朗朗上口。在翻譯的時(shí)候，我們有時(shí)候不僅要注意詞匯的精準(zhǔn)，同時(shí)結(jié)構(gòu)也要恰到好處。

6、總而言之，這篇文章翻譯得比較漂亮，不管是用詞，還是結(jié)構(gòu)，還是語(yǔ)感上，給人一種舒適感，讀起來(lái)朗朗上口，同時(shí)，詞匯簡(jiǎn)練，容易讀懂。

Business Sees Profits in Education: Challenging Public Schools By Irving H.Buchen

由于私人企業(yè)的介入，美國(guó)的教育正在經(jīng)歷一系列快速、驚人的變化。

1.Education in the United States is undergoing a rapid and dramatic series of changes caused by private enterprise moving into the field.教育吸引私人企業(yè)有三個(gè)原因。第一是財(cái)務(wù)上的回報(bào)。估計(jì)教育是個(gè)有6000億美元的市場(chǎng)，超出國(guó)防部的預(yù)算。從幼兒園至12年級(jí)是最大的單個(gè)市場(chǎng)，1998年的價(jià)值達(dá)到了3100百億美元。除此之外，人們對(duì)學(xué)習(xí)的畢生追求，企業(yè)與機(jī)構(gòu)進(jìn)行的培訓(xùn)項(xiàng)目是不斷增長(zhǎng)的領(lǐng)域。2.Education attracts the private sector for three reasons.First, it can be financially rewarding.Education is estimated to be a $600 billion market, more than the budget for the Department of Defense.The biggest single market is kindergarten through twelfth grade(K-12), valued at $310 billion in 1998.Additionally, lifelong learning and training programs for businesses and organizations are growing areas.第二，教育受到嚴(yán)重的壓力，雖然內(nèi)部盡全力進(jìn)行改革，但人們對(duì)這個(gè)既有的體制信心不足。針對(duì)公共教育的種種敗筆，居家自學(xué)者和公辦民管學(xué)校有了增加，他們都是教育產(chǎn)品和教育服務(wù)的對(duì)象。居家自學(xué)者的家長(zhǎng)們定期參加承辦者們推薦其教育產(chǎn)品和教育服務(wù)的地區(qū)會(huì)議。

3.Second, education has received such a bad press that confidence in the established system is low in spite of all the internal efforts at reform.In response to public education's many failures, home schoolers and charter schools have increased, and both are customers for educational products and services.Home-schooling parents regularly attend regional conferences at which exhibitors offer their products and services.第三，教育就在人們身邊，伸手可及。人們普遍認(rèn)為專業(yè)的公共教育家們有充足的時(shí)間來(lái)徹底改變這一體制。私人企業(yè)即便是以營(yíng)利為動(dòng)力介入來(lái)糾正這種體制，只能怪教育家們自己，尤其是因?yàn)檫@類介入許諾會(huì)產(chǎn)生效果。

4.Third, education is there for the taking.The general attitude is that professional, public educators have had sufficient time to turn the system around.They have no one but themselves to blame for corrective intervention from the private sector, even if that intervention is financially motivated, and especially since these actions promise to achieve results.目前幾乎所有在營(yíng)銷的新的教育產(chǎn)品和教育服務(wù)都帶有技術(shù)的特征。這種技術(shù)能替代全部教師或減少教師的數(shù)量，從而解決一些傳統(tǒng)教育中的致命弱點(diǎn)。譬如，替代教師只是降低了大量勞動(dòng)密集型的教學(xué)過(guò)程導(dǎo)致的昂貴費(fèi)用，而學(xué)生數(shù)量并沒(méi)有減少。這樣就取消了教師終身職位制，而終身制恰恰使那些既沒(méi)有受過(guò)培訓(xùn)又沒(méi)有水平，不適應(yīng)變化及新方法的教員始終留在崗位上。這一技術(shù)最終猶如最好的教師，永遠(yuǎn)耐心溫和。它適合每個(gè)學(xué)生的不同學(xué)習(xí)速度和知識(shí)水平，永不疲倦。

5.Almost all of the new educational products and services now being marketed bear the stamp of technology.Such technology replaces teachers altogether or reduces their number, thus solving several critical weaknesses in traditional education.For instance, replacing teachers reduces the high cost of an excessively labor-intensive instructional process while still serving the same number of students.Then, too, it eliminates tenure, which unfortunately locks in instructors who do not have the training or knowledge to keep up with changing fields and new approaches.Finally, technology, like the best of teachers, is infinitely patient and reassuring.It accommodates the speed of each student and his or her level of learning.It never wearies.以下描述的是競(jìng)爭(zhēng)教育市場(chǎng)的多家不同公司，以其所采用的主導(dǎo)技術(shù)排列。由于情況一直在變化，也許不是所有的主要競(jìng)爭(zhēng)對(duì)手都在此出現(xiàn)。其目的不在于提供一幅完整的圖畫而是要展現(xiàn)教育變化的廣度。

6.Below is a description of the many different companies competing for the educational market, grouped by the main technology they use.Because the situation is in flux, not all the major players may appear here.The aim is not to produce a definitive picture but rather to demonstrate the extent to which education is changing.衛(wèi)星連接 Satellite Links 擁有800多萬(wàn)學(xué)生觀眾的第一頻道提供12到15分鐘的新聞廣播和適合不同年齡段的時(shí)事回顧。這一免費(fèi)為學(xué)校提供的服務(wù)是由廣告商贊助的。學(xué)生喜歡哪個(gè)設(shè)計(jì)師的品牌或他們愛(ài)看哪種電視廣告的反饋則當(dāng)作市場(chǎng)信息出售。

7.Channel One, viewed by over 8 million students, provides a 12-to 15-minute newscast and review of current events adjusted for different age groups.This service, free for schools, is sponsored by advertisers.Feedback from students as to what designer labels they prefer and what advertising they enjoy seeing on TV is then sold as marketing data.教育管理集團(tuán)為4000多個(gè)教室開通虛擬旅行。集團(tuán)花費(fèi)3萬(wàn)美元為教室配備了衛(wèi)星實(shí)況轉(zhuǎn)播裝置和交互對(duì)話裝置，因此學(xué)生可以直接向在世界各地景點(diǎn)的電視制作人員提出問(wèn)題。攝制景點(diǎn)包括考古、水下探險(xiǎn)、科學(xué)實(shí)驗(yàn)室以及藝術(shù)家工作室。

8.The Educational Management Group provides virtual voyages for over 4,000 classrooms.For $30,000, the company equips classrooms with a live satellite link and interactive speaker phones so that students can ask questions directly to a traveling series of TV crews visiting sites all over the world.Visits include archaeological sites, underwater explorations, scientific labs and artists' studios.軟件 Software 盧卡斯學(xué)習(xí)創(chuàng)辦于1998年的秋季。公司采用星球大戰(zhàn)的樣式為10至14歲兒童講授基本科學(xué)原理。例如，他們第一個(gè)軟件產(chǎn)品是星球大戰(zhàn)德勞特工廠。軟件以一個(gè)機(jī)器人工廠為背景，向?qū)W生解釋設(shè)計(jì)制造機(jī)器人涉及到的能量、光學(xué)、磁性、工程學(xué)和機(jī)械裝置原理及應(yīng)用。9.Lucas learning was launched in the fall of 1998.The company uses the Star Wars format to teach 10 to14 year-olds basic scientific principles.For example, their first software product is Star Wars Droid Works.Set on the floor of a robot factory, it takes students through all the principles and applications of energy, light, magnetism, engineering and motion necessary to design and build robots.學(xué)習(xí)公司與布羅特邦德由布羅特邦德軟件公司（產(chǎn)品有卡門圣地亞哥和奧秘）與學(xué)習(xí)公司（產(chǎn)品有馬雅探索）最近合并而成。這家新公司注冊(cè)用戶增加了1倍，達(dá)到2000萬(wàn)。最流行的軟件程序有點(diǎn)擊藝術(shù)、家譜制作、打印工藝、游戲策略、紅眼孩子及泥球墻，這些軟件用來(lái)開發(fā)8至12歲兒童的邏輯思維技能。

10.The Learning Company and Broderbund is the result of a recent merger between Broderbund Software(which produces Carmen San Diego and Myst)and the Learning Company(which produced MayaQuest), this new company has almost doubled its registered users to about 20 million.Some of the most popular software programs are Click Art, Family Tree Maker, The Print Shop, Games Strategies, Red Orb Kids, and Mudball Wall(which build the logic skills of 8 to 12 year-olds).計(jì)算機(jī)課程公司是從幼兒園至12年級(jí)的軟件最大的提供商。這個(gè)公司50個(gè)不同的程序?qū)W(xué)生和教師都適合。公司提供追蹤個(gè)別學(xué)生和全班學(xué)生之需求與進(jìn)步的程序，使教師能判斷學(xué)生的不足之處并每周給出進(jìn)步情況的報(bào)告。最新的教具之一是一個(gè)幫助運(yùn)作和協(xié)調(diào)學(xué)校課程計(jì)劃的程序。

11.The Computer Curriculum Corporation is the largest K-12 software provider.CCC's 50 different programs are both student-and teacher-friendly.The company provides programs that monitor the needs and progress of individual students as well as an entire class, enabling teachers to diagnose student deficiencies and give weekly progress reports.One of the newest teacher aids is a program that helps to manage and co-ordinate school lesson plans.MindQ Publishing 在成人計(jì)算機(jī)的開發(fā)市場(chǎng)上取得了極大的成功。MindQ目前有兩百多家用戶，如，國(guó)際商業(yè)機(jī)器公司、Sun、和微軟公司。MindQ用爪哇學(xué)院軟件培訓(xùn)員工爪哇的程序編制技術(shù)。它還為家庭個(gè)別教學(xué)提供光盤，或針對(duì)某個(gè)公司的需要專門設(shè)計(jì)一整套計(jì)算機(jī)課程程序。

12.MindQ Publishing has been extremely successful in the adult computer development market.Currently used by over 200 companies such as IBM, Sun and Microsoft, MindQ trains employees in Java programming skills with its software Java Academy.MindQ provides CD-Roms for individual instruction at home, or it can design an entire computer curriculum tailored to the needs of a specific company.因特網(wǎng) The Internet 大多數(shù)在因特網(wǎng)上提供教育產(chǎn)品和服務(wù)的公司致力于員工和管理業(yè)務(wù)培訓(xùn)。電腦學(xué)校聲稱全校有3萬(wàn)名學(xué)生通過(guò)電子郵件進(jìn)行計(jì)算機(jī)培訓(xùn)、現(xiàn)場(chǎng)聊天、診斷錯(cuò)誤和個(gè)別指導(dǎo)。Pensare用一種游戲形式為1.6萬(wàn)名接受管理培訓(xùn)的用戶模擬實(shí)際公司場(chǎng)景。全球執(zhí)行委員會(huì)力圖使最高管理層不太孤寡：其5000名總經(jīng)理成員能與近350個(gè)旗鼓相當(dāng)?shù)念檰?wèn)團(tuán)體進(jìn)行接觸，探討問(wèn)題，交換意見(jiàn)，或是交換競(jìng)爭(zhēng)經(jīng)歷。國(guó)際生產(chǎn)力尖端在全美150個(gè)左右的培訓(xùn)中心培訓(xùn)約100萬(wàn)名員工，還可通過(guò)遠(yuǎn)程教育實(shí)施培訓(xùn)。

13.Most of the companies offering educational products and services on the Internet are targeting businesses for employee and management training.Cyber School claims to have 30,000 student employees involved in computer training, live chat sessions, diagnostics and personal tutoring by e-mail.Pensare uses a game format to simulate actual corporate situations for its 16,000 management trainee users.The Executive Committee(TEC)Worldwide is dedicated to making it less lonely at the top: Its 5,000 CEO members can contact nearly 350 peer advisory groups in order to share problems, exchange ideas, or swap war stories.Productivity Point International trains about 1 million employees at some 150 training centers around the United States, but its training is also available through distance education.對(duì)于孩子們來(lái)說(shuō)，還有媽媽傳媒, 這是一家據(jù)稱有9萬(wàn)名12歲以下孩子注冊(cè)的因特網(wǎng)教育公司。由麻省理工學(xué)院畢業(yè)生創(chuàng)建的媽媽傳媒要求家長(zhǎng)而不是教師對(duì)其內(nèi)容及鏈接進(jìn)行選擇。公司對(duì)學(xué)習(xí)主題強(qiáng)調(diào)三個(gè)X：探索（exploration），表述（expression），交換（exchange）。公司提供與筆友聯(lián)絡(luò)的軟件；傳授諸如素描、繪畫和攝影等爪哇工作室技術(shù)，提供讓青少年談?wù)撍麄儗W(xué)習(xí)和生活的網(wǎng)頁(yè)。

14.For kids, there's MaMaMedia, an Internet educational company that claims to have 90,000 registered users under the age of 12.Created by MIT graduates, MaMaMedia seeks parental, rather than teacher, endorsement of its content and linkages.The company's learning themes emphasize the “three X's”: exploration, expression, and exchange.This company offers a program to link pen pals;teaches Java Studio skills such as drawing, painting and photography, and provides Web pages where teenagers can chat about their learning and living.至于成年人，有一所即將問(wèn)世的知識(shí)大學(xué)，計(jì)劃為公司和個(gè)人提供高等教育和培訓(xùn)。這家新的企業(yè)由大提供商--知識(shí)宇宙擁有。對(duì)此后面再作詳細(xì)描繪。

15.For adults, there's the soon-to-be-launched Knowledge University, which plans to offer post-secondary education and training to corporations and individuals.This new venture is owned by mega-supplier Knowledge Universe, to be described in greater detail later.根據(jù)位于康涅狄格州斯坦福的一家信息技術(shù)咨詢公司加特納集團(tuán)的消息，美國(guó)別的提供網(wǎng)上教學(xué)的大學(xué)從1995年的25% 增加到1998年的65%。加特那集團(tuán)預(yù)測(cè)這個(gè)數(shù)字在2001年還會(huì)增至80%。

16.As for other universities in the United States, 65% were offering online courses in 1998, up from 25% in 1995, according to Gartner Group, an information technology consulting firm in Stanford, Connecticut.The group projects that figure will rise to 80% by 2001.輔導(dǎo) Tutoring

成績(jī)！屬于卡普蘭教育中心考前準(zhǔn)備公司。它為大約兩萬(wàn)名學(xué)生提供個(gè)別輔導(dǎo)。這一體制按照體育模式，強(qiáng)調(diào)學(xué)習(xí)小組，教師起拉拉隊(duì)長(zhǎng)的作用?，F(xiàn)實(shí)生活和電子良師提供一對(duì)一的學(xué)術(shù)和職業(yè)咨詢。公司的數(shù)據(jù)庫(kù)里擁有有關(guān)未來(lái)職業(yè)的最新信息。洛杉磯剛選擇成績(jī)！為25所公共學(xué)校提供輔導(dǎo)。

17.Score!is owned by the test prep company Kaplan Educational Centers.It offers personal coaching to some 20,000 students.The system is based on a sports model, which emphasizes study teams;teachers function as cheerleaders.Real life and electronic mentors offer one-on-one academic and career counseling.The company's database contains up-to-date information on future careers.Los Angeles just selected Score!to provide tutoring at 25 public schools.思爾文學(xué)習(xí)系統(tǒng)最近與美國(guó)微波通信公司合作創(chuàng)建了100多個(gè)實(shí)驗(yàn)中心，學(xué)生課外可以在那里接受高度復(fù)雜的技術(shù)培訓(xùn)。40多個(gè)類似的中心仿照Caliber Learning Network，已為3萬(wàn)多位學(xué)生提供了服務(wù)。很快思爾文將雄心勃勃地推廣其服務(wù)：尤其是想吸引空閑中的居家自學(xué)者。

18.Sylvan Learning Systems recently partnered with MCI to create over 100 pilot centers where students can receive highly sophisticated technology training after school.Over 40 such centers, dubbed the Caliber Learning Network, have served over 30,000 students.Sylvan will soon aggressively market its services;it will especially try to attract home schoolers during their off hours.電腦化考試

Computerized Testing 依據(jù)個(gè)人考試結(jié)果來(lái)提供教學(xué)與建議的電腦化考試方法進(jìn)一步弱化了教師的角色。最初為美國(guó)海軍陸戰(zhàn)隊(duì)開發(fā)的微型貓，用來(lái)評(píng)估閱讀、語(yǔ)法和數(shù)學(xué)的技能。教育考試中心和美國(guó)空軍設(shè)計(jì)的HyDrive用來(lái)測(cè)試知識(shí)水準(zhǔn)和解決問(wèn)題的能力，并給予更正反饋。教科書出版社艾迪生韋斯利研制的指南針，根據(jù)學(xué)生的考試結(jié)果推薦學(xué)習(xí)計(jì)劃。電子閱卷機(jī)最終自動(dòng)按照句法、詞匯、結(jié)構(gòu)批改文章。教育考試中心還在對(duì)電子閱卷機(jī)作改進(jìn)：目標(biāo)是讓電子評(píng)估與人工評(píng)估的一致性達(dá)到85%。

19.Computerized testing methods that can provide instruction or suggestions based on an individual's test result are further diminishing the role of the teacher.Micro-Cat, originally developed for the U.S.Marine Corps, evaluates reading, grammar, and math skill.HyDrive, designed by the Educational Testing Service(ETS)and the U.S.Air Force, tests both knowledge and problem solving ability, it also gives corrective feedback.Compass recommends study plans based on a student's test results;it was created by text book publisher Addison Wesley.Finally, E-Rater automatically score essays for syntax, vocabulary, and organization.It is still being developed by ETS: The goal is for 85% agreement between E-Rater and human evaluations.書籍，玩具和電視

Books, Toys, and Television 盡管對(duì)尖端技術(shù)的依賴不是很大，以下的公司、產(chǎn)品和服務(wù)同樣也在打入教育市場(chǎng)： 英國(guó)出版大亨皮爾遜擁有企鵝圖書和金融時(shí)報(bào)。通過(guò)一連串的收購(gòu)，兼并或聯(lián)營(yíng)還擁有或管理著西蒙和舒斯特、艾迪生韋斯利、學(xué)徒館和其他出版社的教育分支。這是世界上最大的教育出版社。皮爾遜還利用它的金融基礎(chǔ)開發(fā)了一系列的金融投資、金融風(fēng)險(xiǎn)管理軟件程序，并提供從打字到語(yǔ)言學(xué)的培訓(xùn)軟件。

聰明小丑是一家適合高消費(fèi)階層的教育類的玩具商店，連鎖店遍布全美。聰明小丑不時(shí)使用或展示他們的教學(xué)玩具，為家長(zhǎng)和孩子設(shè)計(jì)特別教育程序。商店里備有電腦，孩子們可以隨時(shí)上電子網(wǎng)，那是公司為孩子制作的每月時(shí)事通訊。另外一家叫跳蛙的玩具公司，用具有視音觸摸的掌上玩具進(jìn)行閱讀、拼寫和字母教學(xué)。以斯坦福教授羅伯特?卡爾斐開發(fā)的語(yǔ)音系統(tǒng)為基礎(chǔ)，跳蛙玩具直接進(jìn)入學(xué)校進(jìn)行營(yíng)銷或通過(guò)玩具店銷售。通過(guò)劇場(chǎng)有線電視公司播出的布盧線索系列，每周有500多萬(wàn)觀眾，比巴尼和芝麻街的收視率還要高。其觀眾在標(biāo)準(zhǔn)考試中的成績(jī)要比不看此節(jié)目的人要好。布盧線索的觀眾可以和主持人一起通過(guò)尋找線索--一只卡通小狗布盧的爪印--整理分析這些線索來(lái)解決問(wèn)題。

美國(guó)兒童發(fā)現(xiàn)中心聲稱大約有兩萬(wàn)名學(xué)生在中心學(xué)習(xí)語(yǔ)言技術(shù)、邏輯思維及相互配合能力。中心致力于培養(yǎng)全方位的孩子，其方法之一就是給每個(gè)孩子充分的活動(dòng)空間，他們認(rèn)為這樣會(huì)啟發(fā)孩子們的思考能力。

20.Although less reliant on cutting edge technology, the following companies, products and services are also entering the education market:

21.The British publishing giant Pearson owns Penguin Books and the Financial Times.Through a series of acquisitions, mergers and alliances, it also owns or manages the education divisions of Simon & Schuster, Addison Wesley, Prentice Hall and others.It is the biggest educational publisher in the world.Using its financial base, Pearson has developed a series of software programs on investment banking and financial risk management.It also offers training software for subjects from typing to linguistics.22.Zany Brainy is an educational, upscale toy store with franchises all over the United States.Zany Brainy has designed special educational programs for parents and kids, usually using or demonstrating their teaching toys.The stores are equipped with computers where kids can access e-line, the company's monthly newsletter for kids.Another toy company, LeapFrog, teaches reading, spelling, and the alphabet with hand-held toys that combine touch, sight and sound.Based on a phonics system developed by Stanford professor Robert Calfee, LeapFrog toys are marketed directly to schools and through toy stores.23.The Blue's Clues series, from cable TV company Nickelodeon, has over five million weekly viewers, which is a higher rating than Barney or Seasame Street.This show's viewers outperform non-viewers on standardized tests.On Blue's Clues, viewers join the host in solving a problem by searching for clues-indicated by pawprints of the cartoon puppy “Blue”-and putting the clues together.24.Children's Discovery Centers of America claim some 20,000 students who learn language skills, logical thinking and cooperative play.The Centers seek to address the “Whole child.” One of their techniques is to give each child plenty of physical space and permission to move around, which they believe liberates a child's thinking.管理方法

Administrative Approaches

除了通過(guò)技術(shù)更新，企業(yè)家、教師、家長(zhǎng)還力圖通過(guò)管理、組織和教學(xué)法的變化來(lái)提高教育質(zhì)量。以下扼要地介紹這方面的努力。

25.Entrepreneurs, teachers and parents are seeking to improve education through administrative, organizational and methodological changes in addition to technological improvements.The following is a summary of these efforts.愛(ài)迪生項(xiàng)目

The Edison Project 這種方法或許是最有爭(zhēng)議、最具攻擊性的。但事實(shí)上愛(ài)迪生項(xiàng)目接管和管理了公立學(xué)校并產(chǎn)生利潤(rùn)。克里斯?惠特爾是愛(ài)迪生項(xiàng)目的主席，又是第一頻道的初創(chuàng)者。愛(ài)迪生項(xiàng)目有“技術(shù)是第二語(yǔ)言”這類課程，需要更多的課時(shí)，包括暑期，要定期對(duì)教師和學(xué)生的表現(xiàn)作出評(píng)價(jià)。估計(jì)愛(ài)迪生項(xiàng)目目前管理著48所學(xué)校，據(jù)推斷1998年的利潤(rùn)達(dá)到1.25億。

26.This method is probably the most controversial and invasive: Public schools are actually taken over and run by the Edison Project at a profit.Chris Whittle, president of the Edison Project, was also the creator of Channel One.The Edison Project features courses such as “Technology as a Second Language”;requires more hours of school attendance, including summers, and regularly assesses both teacher and student performance.Edison now manages an estimated 48 schools and projected a profit of $125 million for 1998.公管民辦學(xué)校 Charter Schools

另一類學(xué)校由教育董事會(huì)授權(quán)開辦并接受公共基金, 他們從同類小學(xué)和中學(xué)吸引學(xué)生,但其規(guī)模通常要比這些學(xué)校小許多。1998年，美國(guó)有800所這類公管民辦學(xué)校。通常學(xué)生家長(zhǎng)也積極參與。當(dāng)一個(gè)學(xué)生轉(zhuǎn)到一所公管民辦學(xué)校，這個(gè)地區(qū)就失去一份資金，因?yàn)檫@個(gè)學(xué)生的教育金配額被轉(zhuǎn)到了這個(gè)公管民辦學(xué)校。

現(xiàn)在來(lái)評(píng)判公管民辦學(xué)校的功效還為時(shí)過(guò)早。但支持者卻相信特別的關(guān)注和較小的規(guī)模自然會(huì)帶來(lái)變化。多數(shù)州限制公管民辦學(xué)校的數(shù)量，但最近加利福尼亞取消這個(gè)限制的做法也許會(huì)蔓延到其他州。由克萊納?珀金斯風(fēng)險(xiǎn)投資家 John Doerr領(lǐng)導(dǎo)的家長(zhǎng)和企業(yè)經(jīng)理同盟成功地去除了對(duì)加利福尼亞的公管民辦學(xué)校的封頂。Doerr進(jìn)行冒險(xiǎn)活動(dòng)的主要伙伴是科技網(wǎng)，這是一個(gè)活躍的硅谷政治活動(dòng)積極分子組織。

27.Usually much smaller than the comparable elementary, middle or high school room from which they draw students, these alternative schools are “chartered” by boards of education to operate.The charter authorizes the school to operate and to receive public funds.There were 800 charter schools in the United States in 1998.Normally a group of parents is heavily involved.When a student transfers to a charter school, the district loses funding because the educational allotment for that student is given to the charter school.28.It is too soon to gauge the effectiveness of charter schools, but proponents believe that the special attention and smaller size will automatically make a difference.Most states limit the number of charter schools, but a recent breakthrough in California may spread to other states: A coalition of parents and business executives, led by John Doerr, the Kleiner Perkins venture capitalist, succeeded in removing California's charter school cap.Doerr's major corporate partner in this venture was Tech-Net, a Silicon Valley political activist group.居家自學(xué)

Home Schooling 盡管居家自學(xué)的人數(shù)估計(jì)在100萬(wàn)上下，但很多人認(rèn)為實(shí)際人數(shù)會(huì)更高。難以估計(jì)這一數(shù)字的部分原因在于居家自學(xué)人數(shù)一直在增加。最初家長(zhǎng)是出于宗教原因使他們對(duì)一些課程的授課方法有異議，現(xiàn)在由于擔(dān)心孩子的安全及教學(xué)質(zhì)量使得居家自學(xué)流行開來(lái)。很多居家自學(xué)學(xué)生所在的地段沒(méi)有合適的私人或教會(huì)學(xué)校可供選擇。

居家自學(xué)的家長(zhǎng)們通過(guò)相互溝通，強(qiáng)烈要求地方學(xué)校為他們提供實(shí)驗(yàn)室、健身房、藝術(shù)工作室、劇院和圖書館之便利，他們已扭轉(zhuǎn)了趨勢(shì)。最終的結(jié)果是居家自學(xué)者不再像當(dāng)初那樣孤立了。最重要的是科技業(yè)已成為最高平衡器，提供給居家自學(xué)者的教育產(chǎn)品常常超越一般學(xué)校所擁有的產(chǎn)品。最后，居家自學(xué)日程安排機(jī)動(dòng)靈活，可把家庭度假包括在上課和學(xué)習(xí)時(shí)間內(nèi)。居家自學(xué)同一般學(xué)校教育相比至少是一樣成功，要是照標(biāo)準(zhǔn)化考試來(lái)衡量，則常常勝過(guò)一籌。

29.Although the estimated number of home-schooled students is about one million, many believe the actual number is higher.Part of the difficulty in estimating is that home schooling is growing.Originally impelled by parents whose religious views led them to object to the way certain subjects were taught, home schooling has caught on with parents who are concerned about their children's safety and quality of learning.Many home schoolers are located in areas with no viable private or parochial school alternatives.30.Home-schooling parents have transformed the movement by affiliating with each other and aggressively petitioning local schools to provide them with access to laboratories, gymnasiums, art studios, theaters and libraries.The net result is that home schooling is not as isolated as it was initially.Above all, technology has been the supreme equalizer by providing home schoolers with educational products that often surpass those available in regular schools.Finally, the home-school calendar is flexible and can include family vocations as school and study time.Home schooling is at least as successful as regular schooling, and often superior, as measured by standardized tests.知識(shí)宇宙

33.Clearly, the three R's will be supplemented by the three T's: Technology, Teaming, and Transference.The Edison Project is correct: technology is a new language and deserving of its own curriculum.Pensare and Score!rightly emphasize cooperative and collaborative learning-the educational version of corporate problem-solving teams.This approach to learning also builds community and social skills.21世紀(jì)研究生英語(yǔ)綜合教程翻譯1 2009-03-08 11:00 BOOK 1 UNIT 1 Translate the following paragraphs into Chinese.Because of the sizable colonial trades with many overseas areas, the gold and silver coins of all the important commercial countries of Europe and their dependencies in the Western Hemisphere were freely exchanged throughout the eastern seaboard.More important than English coins, which could not be legally exported from Britain to the colonies, were the sliver coins of the Spanish mint.These were struck in Mexico City and Lima and introduced into the Spanish colonies.Spanish dollars were so common in the colonies that the coin was eventually adopted as the monetary unit of the United States.由于殖民地與許多海外地區(qū)的大量貿(mào)易，所有歐洲重要商業(yè)國(guó)以及它們?cè)谖靼肭蝾I(lǐng)地的金銀鑄幣在北美東海岸都可以 自由交換。由于法律不允許英國(guó)貨幣從英國(guó)流向殖民地，相比之下，西班牙的貨幣更加重要。這些貨幣在墨西哥城及利 馬鑄造，再進(jìn)入西班牙殖民地。西班牙幣在殖民地被普遍使用，以至于這種硬幣最后成為美國(guó)貨幣單位。

Although Massachusetts first attempted to mint coins of low bullion content as early as 1652, the colonies eventually turned to paper to increase their meager and undependable money supply.The promissory notes of well-known individuals and bills of exchange drawn on English merchants readily exchanged hands for several months.In addition, treasures of the various colonies began to issue promissory notes in advance of tax collection and issue written orders to town officers requiring the payments of obligations from local stores, like other negotiable instruments, these pieces of paper were exchanged on endorsement as money.雖然早在1652 年馬薩諸塞率先鑄造低含金量的硬幣，但殖民地最后轉(zhuǎn)而印制紙幣以補(bǔ)充短缺且不可靠的貨幣供給。著名人士的期票與簽發(fā)給英國(guó)商人的匯票幾個(gè)月內(nèi)就能順利轉(zhuǎn)手。此外，各個(gè)殖民地的財(cái)政部門開始在收稅前簽發(fā)期票，同時(shí)向城鎮(zhèn)官員下達(dá)書面命令要當(dāng)?shù)氐赇伮男懈犊盍x務(wù)，如其他可轉(zhuǎn)讓的單據(jù)一樣，這些票據(jù)經(jīng)背書后可作為貨幣進(jìn)行交換。B.Translate the following sentences into English.1、隨著我國(guó)加入世界貿(mào)易組織，國(guó)有銀行面臨的壓力越來(lái)越大，為了盡快解決資本充足率以及擴(kuò)大規(guī)模，這家大銀行打算與其他兩家小銀行合并。(merge)

My l4-year-old son, John, and I spotted the coat simultaneously.It was hanging on a rack at a secondhand clothing store in Northampton Mass, crammed in with shoddy trench coats and an assortment of sad, woolen overcoats--a rose among thorns.在馬薩諸塞州北安普頓市的一家出售二手服裝的店里，我和我14歲的兒子約翰同時(shí)盯上了那件大衣。它就掛在衣架上，夾在劣質(zhì)的軍用風(fēng)雨衣和各式各樣寒酸的羊毛大衣當(dāng)中，然而它卻像荊棘叢中的一朵玫瑰。

While the other coats drooped, this one looked as if it were holding itself up.The thick, black wool of the double-breasted chesterfield was soft and unworn, as though it had been preserved in mothballs for years in dead old Uncle Henry's steamer trunk.The coat had a black velvet collar, beautiful tailoring, a Fifth Avenue label and an unbelievable price of $28.We looked at each other, saying nothing, but John's eyes gleamed.Dark, woolen topcoats were popular just then with teenage boys, but could cost several hundred dollars new.This coat was even better, bearing that touch of classic elegance from a bygone era.其他的大衣都顯得沒(méi)精打采，惟獨(dú)這件衣服趾高氣揚(yáng)。厚厚的黑色羊絨柔軟而蓬松，這件雙排扣暗鈕長(zhǎng)大衣顯然還沒(méi)上過(guò)身，看樣子，就像用樟腦球在老亨利叔叔的扁平旅行箱里保存了多年。其做工精細(xì)：領(lǐng)子是黑天鵝絨的，商標(biāo)是第五大街的，價(jià)錢讓人難以置信，只賣28美元。我們彼此看著對(duì)方，一言不發(fā)，可約翰的眼里卻閃著欣喜的光。黑色的羊絨輕便大衣那時(shí)在小伙子們中很流行，買一件新的要花好幾百美元，而這一件質(zhì)地更好一些，還帶有一種逝去年代的古典美。

John slid his arms down into the heavy satin lining of the sleeves and buttoned the coat.He turned from side to side, eyeing himself in the mirror with a serious, studied expression that soon changed into a smile.The fit was perfect.約翰將胳膊伸進(jìn)了袖管里——襯里是厚厚的緞子，系上了扣子。他在鏡子面前轉(zhuǎn)過(guò)來(lái)調(diào)過(guò)去地打量著自己，臉上的嚴(yán)肅表情不一會(huì)兒就變成了微笑。衣服合身極了。

John wore the coat to school the next day and came home wearing a big grin.“Ho.did the kids like your coat?” I asked.“They loved it,” he said, carefully folding it over the back of a chair and smoothing it flat.I started calling him “Lord Chesterfield” and “The Great Gatsby.”

第二天約翰就穿著它去上學(xué)了。放學(xué)回來(lái)他笑逐顏開。我問(wèn)他：“那些孩子覺(jué)得你的大衣怎么樣？”“他們非常喜歡?！彼贿呎f(shuō)，一邊在椅子背兒上把衣服仔細(xì)地疊起來(lái)，并甩手把它展平。我于是就開始叫他“切斯特菲爾德大人”和“了不起的蓋茨比”。

Over the next few weeks, a change came over John.Agreement replaced contrariness, quiet, reasoned discussion replaced argument.He became more judicious, more mannerly, more thoughtful, eager to please.“Good dinner, Mom,“ he would say every evening.在接下來(lái)的幾周內(nèi)，約翰慢慢地變了：變得聽(tīng)話而不再故意作對(duì)，遇事能心平氣和地商討而不再?gòu)?qiáng)詞奪理。他變得更明事理、更有禮貌，也更體貼人了。他也樂(lè)于討人歡喜。每天晚上都要說(shuō)：“媽媽，晚飯好極了?！?/p>

He would generously loan his younger brother his tapes and lecture him on the niceties of behaviour;without a word of objection, he would carry in wood for the stove.One day when I suggested that he might start on homework before dinner, John--a veteran procrastinator – said, ―You’re right.I guess I will.‖

他會(huì)很慷慨地把自己的磁帶借給弟弟，并告誡他如何有良好的行為舉止；他會(huì)毫無(wú)怨言地把燒爐子用的劈柴抱進(jìn)來(lái)。有一天當(dāng)我建議他在晚飯前開始做作業(yè)時(shí)，約翰這個(gè)一貫拖拉的家伙居然說(shuō)：“您是對(duì)的，我想我會(huì)做的?！?/p>

When I mentioned this incident to one of his teachers and remarked that I didn't know what caused the changes, she said laughing.”It must be his coat!“ Another teacher told him she was giving him a good mark not only because he had earned it but because she liked his coat.At the library, we ran into a friend who had not seen our children in a long time, ―Could this be John?” he asked, looking up to John's new height, assessing the cut of his coat and extending his hand, one gentleman to another.當(dāng)我對(duì)他的一個(gè)老師提起這件事，并說(shuō)我不知道這是為什么時(shí)，她笑著說(shuō)：“一定是因?yàn)樗拇笠拢　绷硪粋€(gè)老師告訴他，她要給他一個(gè)好成績(jī)，不僅僅因?yàn)樗響?yīng)獲得，還因?yàn)樗矚g他的大衣。在圖書館里我們遇見(jiàn)了一位朋友，他已經(jīng)很長(zhǎng)時(shí)間沒(méi)有看見(jiàn)我們的孩子了?？粗s翰長(zhǎng)高的個(gè)子，品評(píng)著他大衣的樣式，這位朋友不禁問(wèn)道：“這是約翰嗎？” 同時(shí)向約翰伸出了手，完全是紳士間的行為。

John and I both know we should never mistake a person's clothes for the real person within them.But there is something to be said for wearing a standard of excellence for the world to see, for practising standards of excellence in though, speech, and behaviour, and for matching what is on the inside to what is on the outside.約翰和我都知道不應(yīng)該以貌取人，可穿著優(yōu)雅為世人看，在思想上、言語(yǔ)上、行動(dòng)上實(shí)踐優(yōu)秀的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，以達(dá)到內(nèi)外的和諧統(tǒng)一，這又另當(dāng)別論。

Sometimes, watching John leave for school, I've remembered with a keen sting what it felt like to be in the eighth grade--a time when it was as easy to try on different approaches to life as it was to try on a coat.The whole world, the whole future is stretched out ahead, a vast panorama where all the doors are open.And if I were there right now, I would picture myself walking through those doors wearing my wonderful, magical coat.有時(shí)看著約翰上學(xué)去，我就不禁怦然心動(dòng)，想起自己上8年級(jí)時(shí)的感覺(jué)——那時(shí)嘗試不同的生活方式就如同試衣服一樣簡(jiǎn)單。整個(gè)世界、整個(gè)未來(lái)在你面前展開，猶如一幅巨大的畫卷，那里的每一扇門都敞開著。如果此刻我能回到那兒，我會(huì)在這些門間穿行，身上就穿著那件奇妙的、帶有魔力的大衣。

錢鐘書經(jīng)典美文翻譯詳解：窗

出場(chǎng)人物：申雨平，北京外國(guó)語(yǔ)大學(xué)教授。錢鐘書先生的這篇散文說(shuō)的是窗子，但是其用意絕不僅僅是說(shuō)說(shuō)窗子而已，而是要以窗子來(lái)比喻生活、比喻人生。從語(yǔ)言上看，《窗》延續(xù)了一貫的錢派手法，用詞平實(shí)、普通，沒(méi)有長(zhǎng)句，沒(méi)有什么復(fù)雜結(jié)構(gòu)，非常從容地?cái)⑹?、說(shuō)理，卻又緊緊地扣住了主題。這樣的特點(diǎn)對(duì)翻譯構(gòu)成的難度不言而喻，翻譯中應(yīng)當(dāng)時(shí)時(shí)充分考慮上述特點(diǎn)，盡量在譯文中體現(xiàn)出來(lái)。

逐句分析：

窗

Random Thoughts on the Window(題目中的這個(gè)窗字，包含的意思較為豐富，使人有多種聯(lián)想，因此譯成Random Thoughts on the Window。)又是春天 It is spring again 中文是無(wú)主句，英文沒(méi)有這樣的句子結(jié)構(gòu)，因此用It is...句型。原文里“又”用在句首，但是英文如果也把a(bǔ)gain放在句首，這個(gè)詞就太突出，分量太重了。所以again一詞在譯文中放在句末和原文“又”放在句首分量相當(dāng)。

窗子可以常開了 and the window can be left open as often as one would like 用定冠詞the 加單數(shù)名詞window來(lái)代表所有的窗子。英語(yǔ)里表示“全部”可以有幾種方法：1)復(fù)數(shù)名詞，2)不定冠詞a/an+名詞，3)定冠詞+名詞。這里就是用的第三種，更側(cè)重其一致性?！俺ｉ_”不能譯成can open often或can be opened often。因?yàn)樵氖菑娜说慕嵌日f(shuō)的，人們什么時(shí)候想開窗都行，所以用了one would like這樣的說(shuō)法。春天從窗外進(jìn)來(lái) As spring comes in through the windows 這句把春天擬人化了，英文也用同樣的結(jié)構(gòu)就行。窗外：out of the window。但是，如果把“從窗外進(jìn)來(lái)”理解成一個(gè)過(guò)程，用through表示就比較好。

人在屋子里坐不住，就從門里出去 so people--unable to bear staying inside any longer--go outdoors 破折號(hào)之間的形容詞短語(yǔ)說(shuō)明人們?cè)谖堇镒蛔〉脑?。bear：忍受，后面既可跟-ing動(dòng)詞，也可跟不定式動(dòng)詞。

不過(guò)屋子外的春天太賤了 The spring outside, however, is much too cheap 這里的“賤”，是說(shuō)春天多陽(yáng)光，以多為賤，中外同理，用cheap也就順理成章了。到處是陽(yáng)光 for the sun shines on everything 這里和上一句是連接在一起的，所以用了連接詞for來(lái)說(shuō)明原因。最好不要譯成the sunshine is everywhere。因?yàn)殛?yáng)光并不是一種存在，而是說(shuō)照耀在所有的一切上面，因此說(shuō)shines。不像射破屋里陰深的那樣明亮 and so does not seem as bright as that which shoots into the darkness of the house 用seem是指屋里屋外陽(yáng)光是一樣的，只是環(huán)境的反差使陽(yáng)光顯得不同罷了。as...as是表示屋里屋外陽(yáng)光的比較。that指the sun。

到處是給太陽(yáng)曬得懶洋洋的風(fēng) Outside the sun-slothed breeze blows everywhere 這里加了一個(gè)詞outside，因?yàn)楹竺骜R上要說(shuō)到的“屋里”并不包括在“到處”一詞里；“曬”字英文里與之相當(dāng)?shù)脑~就是shine，但是shine并沒(méi)有帶復(fù)合賓語(yǔ)的用法，所以換了一個(gè)角度來(lái)說(shuō)這句話。sun-slothed是一個(gè)復(fù)合詞。

不像攪動(dòng)屋里沉悶的那樣有生氣 but it is not so lively as that which stirs the gloominess inside the house 沉悶這個(gè)詞在這里不是形容詞，而是名詞，所以用gloomy加上詞尾-ness構(gòu)成了表示狀態(tài)的名詞。

就是鳥語(yǔ)，也似乎瑣碎而單薄，需要屋里的寂靜來(lái)做襯托 Even the chirping of the birds sounds so thin and broken that the quietness of the house is needed to set it off 說(shuō)thin and broken而不說(shuō)broken and thin只是因?yàn)檎Z(yǔ)音的關(guān)系，音節(jié)少的詞放在前面，多的放在后面，結(jié)構(gòu)上顯得平穩(wěn)，不至于頭重腳輕。只要把這幾個(gè)詞連在一起朗讀一下就可體會(huì)出來(lái)。

我們因此明白，春天是該鑲嵌在窗子里看的，好比畫配了框子 It seems that spring was always meant to be put behind a windowpane for show, just like a picture in a frame “我們因此明白”譯成It seems...，因?yàn)檫@是一種比喻的說(shuō)法，直譯成英文會(huì)給人以突兀的感覺(jué)，所以用“似乎如此”的說(shuō)法。be meant to be的意思是“原本為......”，加了always等于從語(yǔ)氣上與原文更相符合，并沒(méi)有特別具體的含義。中文說(shuō)“窗子里”，而英文卻不能說(shuō)in a windowpane，windowpane指的是窗子上的玻璃，這就是用behind的原因。同時(shí)，我們悟到，門和窗有不同的意義 At the same time it also becomes clear that the door has a different significance from the window 悟到和上一句中的“明白”是相同的意思，it become clear that 這一說(shuō)法比it seems that 要肯定一些。

當(dāng)然，門是造了讓人出進(jìn)的 Of course, doors were made for people to pass through 出進(jìn)可以譯成to come out and go in，但譯成to pass through就顯得句子緊湊、精煉一些。但是，窗子有時(shí)也可作為進(jìn)出口用 but a window can also sometimes serve as an entrance or as an exit entrance和exit這兩個(gè)詞比door和window抽象化了，充分表明了“進(jìn)出口”的字面意思和含義。

譬如小偷或小說(shuō)里私約的情人就喜歡爬窗子 and is used as such by thieves and by lovers in novels 譯文用了by thieves and by lovers，而不說(shuō)by thieves and lovers，因?yàn)檫@本來(lái)就是兩類人，不能放在一起混為一談。

所以窗子和門的根本分別，決不僅是有沒(méi)有人進(jìn)來(lái)出去 In fact the fundamental difference between a door and a window has nothing to do with them being either entrances or exits 比較一下different between和前文的different(from)：說(shuō)兩者之間的區(qū)別，用different between A and B；而說(shuō)A怎樣不同于B則說(shuō)A is different from B。

若據(jù)賞春一事來(lái)看，我們不妨這樣說(shuō) When it comes to the admiration of spring, it could be put this way When it comes to是比較中庸的說(shuō)法，不那么正式，但也不那么隨意，意思是“說(shuō)起賞春......”，讓人們對(duì)下文有一個(gè)期待。

有了門，我們可以出去 a door makes it possible for one to go out “有了門”不能譯成with a/the door，因?yàn)檫@里不是說(shuō)有還是沒(méi)有，而是有門存在，人們就可以進(jìn)出房屋。

有了窗，我們可以不必出去 whereas a window makes it possible for one not to have to Whereas而......。這是一個(gè)連接詞，表示一種前后的比較或?qū)φ?。這里的句型和上面是一樣的，但是后面的not to have to 是不定式的否定形式，后面省略了go out。

窗子打通了大自然和人的隔膜 A window helps to pull down the partition between man and nature “由于有了窗子，人和大自然之間的隔膜才得以打破”，窗子起的是一種促進(jìn)作用，其本身并不能去“打破”什么，因此用了helps to pull down。partition隔離墻?！案裟ぁ笔墙馄蕦W(xué)詞匯，這里用的是其引申意義，不能按字面譯成diaphragm，那樣意思就不對(duì)了。man and nature：man是指整個(gè)人類，所以不用任何冠詞；nature則是不可數(shù)名詞。把風(fēng)和太陽(yáng)逗引進(jìn)來(lái)，使屋子里也關(guān)著一部分春天 It leads breezes and sunlight in, and keeps part of the spring in the house Lead：引導(dǎo)，引領(lǐng)。keep...in the house：使停留在屋里不能外出。

讓我們安坐了享受，無(wú)需再到外面去找 It allows one to sit and enjoy the spring in peace, and makes it unnecessary to go looking for it outside 原文是說(shuō)“安坐”，而實(shí)際上“安”的意思也應(yīng)當(dāng)能涵蓋“享受”，只是從詞的節(jié)奏上感覺(jué)“安坐”和“享受”都是兩個(gè)字的詞，似乎是并列的。譯文里譯成了sit...in peace，等于將狀語(yǔ)移了一個(gè)位。注意這句中幾個(gè)it的含義，第一個(gè)it指代window，第二個(gè)it是形式賓語(yǔ)，引出后面的to go...，第三個(gè)it是指代the spring。全篇通覽

窗

Random Thoughts on the Window 又是春天，窗子可以常開了。春天從窗外進(jìn)來(lái)，人在屋子里坐不住，就從門里出去。不過(guò)屋子外的春天太賤了！到處是陽(yáng)光，不像射破屋里陰深的那樣明亮；到處是給太陽(yáng)曬得懶洋洋的風(fēng)，不像攪動(dòng)屋里沉悶的那樣有生氣。就是鳥語(yǔ)，也似乎瑣碎而單薄，需要屋里的寂靜來(lái)做襯托。我們因此明白，春天是該鑲嵌在窗子里看的，好比畫配了框子。

It is spring again and the window can be left open as often as one would like.As spring comes in through the windows, so people--unable to bear staying inside any longer--go outdoors.The spring outside, however, is much too cheap, for the sun shines on everything, and so does not seem as bright as that which shoots into the darkness of the house.Outside the sun-slothed breeze blows everywhere, but it is not so lively as that which stirs the gloominess inside the house.Even the chirping of the birds sounds so thin and broken that the quietness of the house is needed to set it off.It seems that spring was always meant to be put behind a windowpane for show, just like a picture in a frame.同時(shí)，我們悟到，門和窗有不同的意義。當(dāng)然，門是造了讓人出進(jìn)的。但是，窗子有時(shí)也可作為進(jìn)出口用，譬如小偷或小說(shuō)里私約的情人就喜歡爬窗子。所以窗子和門的根本分別，決不僅是有沒(méi)有人進(jìn)來(lái)出去。若據(jù)賞春一事來(lái)看，我們不妨這樣說(shuō)：有了門，我們可以出去；有了窗，我們可以不必出去。窗子打通了大自然和人的隔膜，把風(fēng)和太陽(yáng)逗引進(jìn)來(lái)，使屋子里也關(guān)著一部分春天，讓我們安坐了享受，無(wú)需再到外面去找。

At the same time it also becomes clear that the door has a different significance from the window.Of course, doors were made for people to pass through;but a window can also sometimes serve as an entrance or as an exit, and is used as such by thieves and by lovers in novels.In fact the fundamental difference between a door and a window has nothing to do with them being either entrances or exits.When it comes to the admiration of spring, it could be put this way: a door makes it possible for one to go out, whereas a window makes it possible for one not to have to.A window helps to pull down the partition between man and nature.It leads breezes and sunlight in, and keeps part of the spring in the house.It allows one to sit and enjoy the spring in peace, and makes it unnecessary to go looking for it outside.

第三篇：錢鐘書經(jīng)典美文翻譯詳解

出場(chǎng)人物：申雨平，北京外國(guó)語(yǔ)大學(xué)教授。錢鐘書先生的這篇散文說(shuō)的是窗子，但是其用意絕不僅僅是說(shuō)說(shuō)窗子而已，而是要以窗子來(lái)比喻生活、比喻人生。從語(yǔ)言上看，《窗》延續(xù)了一貫的錢派手法，用詞平實(shí)、普通，沒(méi)有長(zhǎng)句，沒(méi)有什么復(fù)雜結(jié)構(gòu)，非常從容地?cái)⑹?、說(shuō)理，卻又緊緊地扣住了主題。這樣的特點(diǎn)對(duì)翻譯構(gòu)成的難度不言而喻，翻譯中應(yīng)當(dāng)時(shí)時(shí)充分考慮上述特點(diǎn)，盡量在譯文中體現(xiàn)出來(lái)。

一逐句分析：

（題目中的這個(gè)窗字，又是春天 It is spring again中文是無(wú)主句，英文沒(méi)有這樣的句子結(jié)構(gòu)，因此用英文如果也把a(bǔ)gain在句末和原文“又”放在句首分量相當(dāng)。

窗子可以常開了 and 用定冠詞the 加單數(shù)名詞1）復(fù)數(shù)名詞，2）不定冠詞一致性?！俺ｉ_”不能譯成說(shuō)的，人們什么時(shí)候想開窗都行，所以用了

春天從窗外進(jìn)來(lái) As spring comes in through the windows這句把春天擬人化了，英文也用同樣的結(jié)構(gòu)就行。窗外：把“從窗外進(jìn)來(lái)”理解成一個(gè)過(guò)程，用

窗

Random Thoughts on the Window使人有多種聯(lián)想，因此譯成on the Window。）

It is...句型。原文里這個(gè)詞就太突出，分量太重了。所以 window can be left open as often window來(lái)代表所有的窗子。英語(yǔ)里表示a/an+名詞，3）定冠詞+名詞。這里就是用的第三種，更側(cè)重其can open often或can be opened oftenone would like這樣的說(shuō)法。out of the windowthrough表示就比較好。Random Thoughts

“又”用在句首，但是again一詞在譯文中放as one would like

”可以有幾種方法：

。但是，如果

包含的意思較為豐富，放在句首，the “全部。因?yàn)樵氖菑娜说慕嵌热嗽谖葑永镒蛔?，就從門里出去 so people--unable to bear staying inside any longer--go outdoors

不過(guò)屋子外的春天太賤了 The spring outside, however, is much too cheap

這里的“賤”，是說(shuō)春天多陽(yáng)光，以多為賤，中外同理，用

到處是陽(yáng)光 for the sun shines on everything這里和上一句是連接在一起的，is everywhere。因?yàn)殛?yáng)光并不是一種存在，而是說(shuō)照耀在所有的一切上面，因此說(shuō)

不像射破屋里陰深的那樣明亮shoots into the darkness of the house用seem是指屋里屋外陽(yáng)光是一樣的，只是環(huán)境的反差使陽(yáng)光顯得不同罷了。示屋里屋外陽(yáng)光的比較。that指

到處是給太陽(yáng)曬得懶洋洋的風(fēng)everywhere

這里加了一個(gè)詞outside，因?yàn)楹竺骜R上要說(shuō)到的文里與之相當(dāng)?shù)脑~就是shine，但是說(shuō)這句話。sun-slothed是一個(gè)復(fù)合詞。

不像攪動(dòng)屋里沉悶的那樣有生氣the gloominess inside the house沉悶這個(gè)詞在這里不是形容詞，而是名詞，所以用的名詞。

and so does the sun。Outside the sun-slothed breeze blows shine并沒(méi)有帶復(fù)合賓語(yǔ)的用法，所以換了一個(gè)角度來(lái) but it

“屋里”并不包括在not so lively gloomy加上詞尾 the sunshine shines。as that which as...as是表“到處”一詞里；“曬”字英as that which stirs-ness構(gòu)成了表示狀態(tài)也就順理成章了。所以用了連接詞bright is 就是鳥語(yǔ)，也似乎瑣碎而單薄，需要屋里的寂靜來(lái)做襯托 Even the chirping of the birds sounds so thin and broken that the quietness of the house is needed to set it off

說(shuō)thin and broken而不說(shuō)broken and thin只是因?yàn)檎Z(yǔ)音的關(guān)系，音節(jié)少的詞放在前面，多的放在后面，結(jié)構(gòu)上顯得平穩(wěn)，不至于頭重腳輕。只要把這幾個(gè)詞連在一起朗讀一下就可體會(huì)出來(lái)。

我們因此明白，春天是該鑲嵌在窗子里看的，好比畫配了框子spring was always meant to be put behind a windowpane for a picture in a frame

“我們因此明白”譯成It seems...，因?yàn)檫@是一種比喻的說(shuō)法，直譯成英文會(huì)給人以突兀的感覺(jué)，所以用“似乎如此”的說(shuō)法。be meant to be的意思是“原本為......”語(yǔ)氣上與原文更相符合，并沒(méi)有特別具體的含義。中文說(shuō)“窗子里”，而英文卻不能說(shuō)windowpane，windowpane指的是窗子上的玻璃，這就是用behind

同時(shí)，我們悟到，門和窗有不同的意義 At the same time it that the door has a different significance from the window悟到和上一句中的“明白”是相同的意思，it become clear that 這一說(shuō)法比肯定一些。

當(dāng)然，門是造了讓人出進(jìn)的 Of course, doors were made for people to pass through

出進(jìn)可以譯成to come out and go in，但譯成to pass through就顯得句子緊湊、精煉一些。

但是，窗子有時(shí)也可作為進(jìn)出口用 but a window can also sometimes an entrance or as an exit

entrance和exit這兩個(gè)詞比door和window抽象化了，充分表明了“含義。

譬如小偷或小說(shuō)里私約的情人就喜歡爬窗子 and is used as such by thieves and by lovers in novels

It seems that just like always等于從in a

becomes clear

it seems that 要 serve as ”的字面意思和 show,，加了的原因。also 進(jìn)出口譯文用了by thieves and by lovers，而不說(shuō)by thieves and lovers，因?yàn)檫@本來(lái)就是兩類人，不能放在一起混為一談。

所以窗子和門的根本分別，決不僅是有沒(méi)有人進(jìn)來(lái)出去 In fact the fundamental difference between a door and a window has nothing to do with them being either entrances or exits

比較一下different between和前文的different(from)：說(shuō)兩者之間的區(qū)別，用different between A and B；而說(shuō)A怎樣不同于B則說(shuō)A is different from B。

若據(jù)賞春一事來(lái)看，我們不妨這樣說(shuō) When it comes to the admiration of spring, it could be put this way

When it comes to是比較中庸的說(shuō)法，不那么正式，但也不那么隨意，意思是“說(shuō)起賞春......”，讓人們對(duì)下文有一個(gè)期待。

有了門，我們可以出去 a door makes it possible for one to go out

“有了門”不能譯成with a/the door，因?yàn)檫@里不是說(shuō)有還是沒(méi)有，而是有門存在，人們就可以進(jìn)出房屋。

有了窗，我們可以不必出去 whereas a window makes it possible for one not to have to

Whereas而......。這是一個(gè)連接詞，表示一種前后的比較或?qū)φ铡＿@里的句型和上面是一樣的，但是后面的not to have to 是不定式的否定形式，后面省略了go out。

窗子打通了大自然和人的隔膜 A window helps to pull down the partition between man and nature

“由于有了窗子，人和大自然之間的隔膜才得以打破”，窗子起的是一種促進(jìn)作用，其本身并不能去“打破”什么，因此用了helps to pull down。partition隔離墻。“隔膜”是解剖學(xué)詞匯，這里用的是其引申意義，不能按字面譯成diaphragm，那樣意思就不對(duì)了。man and nature：man是指整個(gè)人類，所以不用任何冠詞；nature則是不可數(shù)名詞。把風(fēng)和太陽(yáng)逗引進(jìn)來(lái)，使屋子里也關(guān)著一部分春天 It leads breezes and sunlight in, and keeps part of the spring in the house

Lead：引導(dǎo)，引領(lǐng)。keep...inthe house：使停留在屋里不能外出。

讓我們安坐了享受，無(wú)需再到外面去找 It allows one to sit and enjoy the spring in peace, and makes it unnecessary to go looking for it outside

原文是說(shuō)“安坐”，而實(shí)際上“安”的意思也應(yīng)當(dāng)能涵蓋“享受”，只是從詞的節(jié)奏上感覺(jué)“安坐”和“享受”都是兩個(gè)字的詞，似乎是并列的。譯文里譯成了sit...in peace，等于將狀語(yǔ)移了一個(gè)位。注意這句中幾個(gè)it的含義，第一個(gè)it指代window，第二個(gè)it是形式賓語(yǔ)，引出后面的to go...，第三個(gè)it是指代the spring。

窗

Random Thoughts on the Window

又是春天，窗子可以常開了。春天從窗外進(jìn)來(lái)，人在屋子里坐不住，就從門里出去。不過(guò)屋子外的春天太賤了！到處是陽(yáng)光，不像射破屋里陰深的那樣明亮；到處是給太陽(yáng)曬得懶洋洋的風(fēng)，不像攪動(dòng)屋里沉悶的那樣有生氣。就是鳥語(yǔ)，也似乎瑣碎而單薄，需要屋里的寂靜來(lái)做襯托。我們因此明白，春天是該鑲嵌在窗子里看的，好比畫配了框子。

It is spring again and the window can be left open as often as one would like.As spring comes in through the windows, so people--unable to bear staying inside any longer--go outdoors.The spring outside, however, is much too cheap, for the sun shines on everything, and so does not seem as bright as that which shoots into the darkness of the house.Outside the sun-slothed breeze blows everywhere, but it is not so lively as that which stirs the gloominess inside the house.Even the chirping of the birds sounds so thin and broken that the quietness of the house is needed to set it off.It seems that spring was always meant to be put behind a windowpane for show, just like a picture in a frame.同時(shí)，我們悟到，門和窗有不同的意義。當(dāng)然，門是造了讓人出進(jìn)的。但是，窗子有時(shí)也可作為進(jìn)出口用，譬如小偷或小說(shuō)里私約的情人就喜歡爬窗子。所以窗子和門的根本分別，決不僅是有沒(méi)有人進(jìn)來(lái)出去。若據(jù)賞春一事來(lái)看，我們不妨這樣說(shuō)：有了門，我們可以出去；有了窗，我們可以不必出去。窗子打通了大自然和人的隔膜，把風(fēng)和太陽(yáng)逗引進(jìn)來(lái)，使屋子里也關(guān)著一部分春天，讓我們安坐了享受，無(wú)需再到外面去找。At the same time it also becomes clear that the door has a different significance from the window.Of course, doors were made for people to pass through;but a window can also sometimes serve as an entrance or as an exit, and is used as such by thieves and by lovers in novels.In fact the fundamental difference between a door and a window has nothing to do with them being either entrances or exits.When it comes to the admiration of spring, it could be put this way: a door makes it possible for one to go out, whereas a window makes it possible for one not to have to.A window helps to pull down the partition between man and nature.It leads breezes and sunlight in, and keeps part of the spring in the house.It allows one to sit and enjoy the spring in peace, and makes it unnecessary to go looking for it outside.

親自給錢先生的夫人楊絳打電話，對(duì)錢先生的逝世表示深切哀悼。在翌日新華社播出的新聞通稿中，出現(xiàn)“永垂不朽”字樣。2.主要著作年表錢鍾書先生字默存，曾用筆名中書君等。錢先生博學(xué)多能，兼通數(shù)國(guó)外語(yǔ)，學(xué)貫中西，在文學(xué)創(chuàng)作和學(xué)術(shù)研究?jī)煞矫婢龀隽俗吭匠煽?jī)。解放前出版的著作有散文集《寫在人生邊上》，用英文撰寫的《十六、十七、十八世紀(jì)英國(guó)文學(xué)里的中國(guó)》，短篇小說(shuō)集《人．獸．鬼》，長(zhǎng)篇小說(shuō)《圍城》，文論及詩(shī)文評(píng)論《談藝錄》。錢先生的治學(xué)特點(diǎn)是貫通中西、古今互見(jiàn)的方法，融匯多種學(xué)科知識(shí)，探幽入微，鉤玄提要，在當(dāng)代學(xué)術(shù)界自成一家。因其多方面的成就，被譽(yù)為文化昆侖。60年來(lái)，錢鐘書先生致力于人文社會(huì)科學(xué)研究，淡泊名利，甘愿寂寞，辛勤研究，飲譽(yù)海內(nèi)外，為國(guó)家和民族做出了卓越貢獻(xiàn)，培養(yǎng)了幾代學(xué)人，是中國(guó)的寶貴財(cái)富。錢先生在文學(xué)研究和文學(xué)創(chuàng)作方面的卓越成就，對(duì)于我們建設(shè)中國(guó)新文化，特別是在科學(xué)地?fù)P棄中國(guó)傳統(tǒng)文化和有選擇地借鑒外來(lái)文化方面，具有重要的啟示意義。錢先生給予中國(guó)文化的主要影響：一是以一種文化批判精神觀照中國(guó)與世界。在精熟中國(guó)文化和通覽世界文化的基礎(chǔ)上，錢先生在觀察中西文化事物時(shí)，總是表現(xiàn)出一種清醒的頭腦和一種深刻的洞察力。他不拒絕任何一種理論學(xué)說(shuō)，也不盲從任何一個(gè)權(quán)威。他畢生致力于確定中國(guó)文學(xué)藝術(shù)在世界文學(xué)藝術(shù)宮殿中的適當(dāng)位置，從而促使中國(guó)文學(xué)藝術(shù)走向世界，加入到世界文學(xué)藝術(shù)的總的格局中去。為此，他既深刻地闡發(fā)了中國(guó)文化精神的深厚意蘊(yùn)和獨(dú)特價(jià)值，也恰切地指出了其歷史局限性和地域局限性。他既批評(píng)中國(guó)人由于某些幻覺(jué)而對(duì)本土文化的妄自尊大，又毫不留情地橫掃了西方人由于無(wú)知而以歐美文化為中心的偏見(jiàn)。錢先生對(duì)于推進(jìn)中外文化的交流、使中國(guó)人了解西方的學(xué)術(shù)以及使西方人了解中國(guó)的文化，起了很好的作用。二是以一種新的學(xué)術(shù)規(guī)范發(fā)展和深化中國(guó)學(xué)研究。中國(guó)是詩(shī)書禮義之邦，中國(guó)的學(xué)問(wèn)源遠(yuǎn)流長(zhǎng)，中國(guó)學(xué)早已蔚成世界之顯學(xué)。在這個(gè)領(lǐng)域，一方面是勤謹(jǐn)篤實(shí)，碩果累累，另一方面卻是陳陳相因，難以出新。思想方法上的僵化固守和學(xué)術(shù)方法上的劃地為牢，極大地阻滯了前進(jìn)的速度。在這種亟待變革的形勢(shì)下，錢先生的治學(xué)方法應(yīng)運(yùn)而生。他數(shù)十年間所實(shí)踐的“打通”、“參互”、“比較”的方法，努力使中國(guó)學(xué)自覺(jué)地成為一個(gè)科學(xué)的、開放的體系，從而獲得一個(gè)更深、更廣、更新的發(fā)展。三是以一種現(xiàn)代意識(shí)統(tǒng)領(lǐng)文學(xué)創(chuàng)作。錢鐘書先生生活在一個(gè)農(nóng)業(yè)國(guó)，但是，他卻沒(méi)有小生產(chǎn)所固有的狹隘保守觀念；他主要研究的是中國(guó)古代文學(xué)，但是，他卻沒(méi)有三家村學(xué)究的陳腐迂闊做派。錢先生的創(chuàng)作貫注著一種強(qiáng)烈的現(xiàn)代意識(shí)，這在中國(guó)現(xiàn)代文學(xué)中是并不多見(jiàn)的，有別于同時(shí)代的一般作品而與世界文**流頗為合拍。特別值得重視的是，他的文學(xué)創(chuàng)作都不是那種生吞活剝的東西，而是具有真正中國(guó)風(fēng)格、中國(guó)氣派、為中國(guó)人也為外國(guó)人所喜愛(ài)的作品。四是以一種高尚的形象為中國(guó)知識(shí)分子樹立人格上的榜樣。在三、四十年代，錢鐘書先生不向惡勢(shì)力俯首，用文學(xué)作品辛辣地嘲弄了那個(gè)黑暗社會(huì)。1949年以后，錢鐘書先生雖然“經(jīng)過(guò)九蒸九焙的改造”，“文革”中更是受盡凌辱和折磨，但是，智者是不可征服的。錢鐘書先生在任何時(shí)候都沒(méi)有忘記他作為一個(gè)學(xué)者，要為祖國(guó)和世界文化做出貢獻(xiàn)的歷史使命。他不走冷門，不投熱機(jī)，不計(jì)利鈍，不易操守，反對(duì)樹宗立派，只是一心一意地搞研究、出成果。在當(dāng)今之世，這種品格更其難能可貴。

第五篇：錢鐘書

錢鐘書《圍城》讀書筆記

讀《圍城》先是為其幽默所折服，細(xì)細(xì)回想，才品味出表面的幽默背后，其實(shí)別有洞天。

《圍城》的整個(gè)脈絡(luò)，大抵可以歸結(jié)為一句話：“城外的人想沖進(jìn)去，城里的人想逃出來(lái)”，以方鴻漸為例，外人看似風(fēng)光，殊不知此人正被學(xué)歷，婚姻等問(wèn)題層層圍困，無(wú)法掙脫。而在錢鐘書筆下，其他的人物，也大都作繭自縛，痛并困惑卻不自知。這些“聰明人”之所以像一樣被困，說(shuō)到底是因?yàn)槿诵攒浫?，逃不過(guò)欲望作祟。這種立意上的深刻，在錢老筆下卻表現(xiàn)得輕快流暢?？此戚p松的調(diào)侃，卻是對(duì)時(shí)弊，人性犀利的諷刺。這種辛辣的幽默，讀來(lái)酣暢淋漓，細(xì)想?yún)s發(fā)人深省。

自序言起，錢鐘書已經(jīng)開始以其獨(dú)特的語(yǔ)言就當(dāng)時(shí)華而不實(shí)的“獻(xiàn)書”風(fēng)氣小小地幽了一默：近來(lái)覺(jué)得獻(xiàn)書也像“致身于國(guó)”、“還政于民”等等佳話，只是語(yǔ)言幻成的空花泡影，名說(shuō)交付出去，其實(shí)只仿佛魔術(shù)家玩的飛刀，放手而并沒(méi)有脫手。隨你怎樣把作品奉獻(xiàn)給人，作品總是作者自己的。大不了一本書，還不值得這樣精巧地不老實(shí)，因此罷了。

錢老書中的幽默并不是單純的插科打諢，而是著力于中西方文化，或中國(guó)現(xiàn)代文化與傳統(tǒng)文化間的沖突：一是嘲諷對(duì)西方文化的生搬硬套：“生平最恨小城市的摩登姑娘，落伍的時(shí)髦，鄉(xiāng)氣的都市化，活像那第一套中國(guó)裁縫仿制的西裝，把做樣子的外國(guó)人舊衣服上兩方補(bǔ)丁，照式在衣袖和褲子上做了”。二是探討對(duì)西方文明和西方文化的吸收中的荒誕，一如方鴻漸在家鄉(xiāng)中學(xué)演講時(shí)所說(shuō)的，“海通幾百年來(lái)，只有兩件西洋東西在整個(gè)中國(guó)社會(huì)里長(zhǎng)存不滅。一件是鴉片，一件是梅毒，都是明朝所吸收的西洋文明?！比且袁F(xiàn)代文化比照中國(guó)傳統(tǒng)文化的某些弊端：方鴻漸的父親方老先生的迂腐，他推薦的線裝書中?中國(guó)人品性方正所以說(shuō)地是方的，洋人品性圓滑，所以主張地是圓的?。

錢式幽默同樣針砭了社會(huì)的時(shí)弊。“這一張文憑，仿佛有亞當(dāng)、夏娃下身那片樹葉的功用，可以遮羞包丑；小小一方紙能把一個(gè)人的空疏、寡陋、愚笨都掩蓋起來(lái)?！币徽Z(yǔ)道破了流于形式的浮夸風(fēng)氣。然而值得注意的是，被錢老所不屑的一些做法，在現(xiàn)代卻隨處可見(jiàn)。文憑至上已成為大多用人單位的常態(tài)，假學(xué)位的現(xiàn)象在今日更是屢見(jiàn)不鮮，若錢老有知，不知作何感想。

《圍城》中的諷刺，最終落點(diǎn)仍然是對(duì)人性的剖析。整個(gè)離奇的故事本身就是最大的諷刺，集中體現(xiàn)了人性中的欺詐、虛榮、軟弱、對(duì)環(huán)境的無(wú)奈。在其與愛(ài)爾蘭人荒誕的交涉過(guò)程中，爾虞我詐，錙銖必爭(zhēng)，最終方鴻漸獲勝，取得“也許是中國(guó)自有外交或訂商約以來(lái)唯一的勝利”，雙方均表現(xiàn)得既虛偽又吝嗇。此外張買辦中文夾英文，被錢鐘書諷刺為“牙縫里的肉屑”的說(shuō)話方式也可折射出崇洋媚外，貪慕虛榮心態(tài)。書中其余各處描寫均表現(xiàn)了世間百態(tài)，或丑陋或滑稽，不一而足。

《圍城》式幽默，發(fā)人深省，同樣也引發(fā)了了我些許的思考。只要有欲望的地方,就有所謂的“圍城”,在我們津津樂(lè)道于方鴻漸被層層圍住的同時(shí),自己是否也身在其中,道德,地位,金錢,乃至情感,一圈圈的圍城,很多人似乎渾然不覺(jué),即使了解,也未必敢正視,即使正視,也不見(jiàn)得想出來(lái),當(dāng)真想出來(lái)的時(shí)候,不是看破紅塵便也垂垂老矣,當(dāng)然,的的確確有不少的人想逼進(jìn)來(lái),那便又是一個(gè)進(jìn)出的循環(huán).人生就是在此循環(huán)中過(guò)的，我們自始終究要走進(jìn)那一個(gè)一個(gè)的圍城,無(wú)可避免,卻并非每一個(gè)人都可以走出來(lái),所謂執(zhí)念,便是對(duì)于這類人所說(shuō)的.而我想,<圍城>雖點(diǎn)出時(shí)弊,卻無(wú)法解決,是否算是悲哀,而我們,雖知身陷其中而無(wú)法自拔,是否也是一種悲哀?
