英语四级翻译积累训练3

　　和谐源自人的内心。健康的人格，良好的心态，既关乎个人的身心和谐，也关乎社会的和谐稳定。一个内心失调、失衡的人，一个心中充溢着焦躁、郁闷甚至仇恨的人，往往自己会同自己过不去，还会同周围环境过不去，人生是无法和谐得起来的。心平才能气和，内和才能外顺。保持身心和谐，我们要以平和之心思考问题，多一点理性、少一点感性，多一点睿智、少一点混沌，多一点冷静、少一点浮躁，多一点淡然、少一点痴迷，多一点大度、少一点偏执。

　　【答案解析】

　　Harmony

　　Harmony is derived from the inner heart of people.Wholesome personality and sound mentality are concerned not only with the harmony of individual's mind and body,but also with the social harmony and stability.A mentally disturbed and imbalanced person infatuated with anxiety ,oppression or even hatred tends to make things difficult for himself and also finds it difficult to get along with his surroundings,it is impossible to have harmony in his life.Only a calm mind can ensure an even temper;and only the inner harmony can make one get along smoothly.Therefore,we should think with a calm mind,with more rationality and less sensitivity,more wit and less confusion,more calmness and less fickleness,more indifference and less obsession,more generosity and less prejudice.

　　分析:

　　一个内心失调、失衡的人，一个心中充溢着焦躁、郁闷甚至仇恨的人，往往自己会同自己过不去，还会同周围环境过不去，人生是无法和谐得起来的。

　　本句很长，如果译成一个句子，会造成英文太过于复杂，因此把同前面的意思衔接不是很紧密的部分“人生是无法和谐得起来的”另起一句。同时注意“同自己过不去”的翻译方法，译成“make things difficult for himself”。

　　英语四级翻译积累训练二：

　　书是我青春期的恋人，中年的知己，暮年的伴侣。有了它，我就不再忧愁寂寞，不再怕人情冷暖，世态炎凉。它使我成为精神世界的富翁。我真的是“不可一日无此君”。当我忙完了，累极了;当我愤怒时，苦恼时，我就想亲近它，因为这是一种绝妙的安抚。

　　【答案解析】

　　答案:

　　Books are my beloved in youth,my soul mate in middle age,and my companion in my later years.With books at my side,I will never feel lonely,nor fear social snobbery or fickleness of the world.Books have made me wealthy in the inner world.I cannot do without them even for a single day.When I am tired after finishing my work,or when I am angry or in a bad mood,I will try to get close to books for comfort,fot it is a wonderful way for me to find spiritual consolation.

　　分析:

　　1.有了它，我就不再忧愁寂寞，不再怕人情冷暖，世态炎凉。

　　原文存在两个“不再”的并列否定结构，宜使用连词结构“never…nor…”将其意义紧密地联系起来。“有了它”用“with”引导的介词短语来呈现。“人情冷暖”： social snobbery;“世态炎凉” fickleness of the world。

　　2.我真的是“不可一日无此君”。

　　“不可一日无此君”采用英文结构“can not do without”,表示“没有…而不能活，难受”，故译成“I cannot do without them even for a single day”，符合原文的意思。
