專八翻譯練習(xí)

1、中國的文學(xué)中文原文：與舞蹈和音樂相伴的歌謠跟口頭流傳的神話，遠(yuǎn)在文字出現(xiàn)之前就已大量產(chǎn)生。中國的文學(xué)正是發(fā)端于此。不過歌謠本是人們在生活中隨興而發(fā)的東西，上古時(shí)代也沒有保存和記載它們的手段，因之也就很快湮滅，不留痕跡。我們只能從一些古籍書中推斷它們的存在。古書中記載了一些據(jù)稱年代非常久遠(yuǎn)的歌謠，但是大多出于后人的偽托，能夠斷定朝代的歌謠要到《詩經(jīng)》里才能看見。從這點(diǎn)來看，古代神話對中國文學(xué)的影響更為顯著。參考譯文：Longbefethe

5、那時(shí)，她與丈夫乘馬車從羅馬旅行歸來(那時(shí)還沒有火車)，途經(jīng)錫耶那南部的崎嶇路段時(shí)，馬車壞了，他們被迫就宿于路邊的小屋里。住宿條件當(dāng)然非常差；她一夜未能安眠，一早便起身穿好衣服，立于窗前，感受著撲面而來的席席涼風(fēng)，等待著黎明的到來。事隔多年，她仍然記得那情景。明月高懸在青山群巒之上，遠(yuǎn)處山峰上的小鎮(zhèn)逐漸明亮起來，月亮慢慢消退，晨曦把群山涂得粉紅。突然之間，一束陽光照亮了城鎮(zhèn)。城里的窗戶相繼明亮起來，反射出耀眼的光芒。最后，整個(gè)小城宛若繁星

10、傲而又叛逆的心，墜入愛河與贏得愛情都是難事；但維持愛情也很重要，夫妻都應(yīng)相敬如賓互相關(guān)愛。當(dāng)真愛起始于圣壇之時(shí)，夫妻之間便開始了一場智慧與慷慨的競爭，一場為了一個(gè)不可能實(shí)現(xiàn)的理想而持續(xù)一生的奮斗。不可能實(shí)現(xiàn)？啊，當(dāng)然不可能，因?yàn)樗麄儾皇且粋€(gè)人，而是兩個(gè)呀。參考譯文：Againwhenyouhavemarriedyourwifeyouwouldthinkyouweregotuponahilltopmightbegintogodownwar
