在逝去如飞的日子里,在千门万户的世界里的我能做些什么呢?只有徘徊罢了,只有匆匆罢了;在八千多日的匆匆里,除徘徊外,又剩些什么呢?过去的日子如轻烟却被微风吹散了,如薄雾。被初阳蒸融了;我留着些什么痕迹呢?我何曾留着像游丝样的痕迹呢?我赤裸裸来到这世界,转眼间

问题     在逝去如飞的日子里,在千门万户的世界里的我能做些什么呢?只有徘徊罢了,只有匆匆罢了;在八千多日的匆匆里,除徘徊外,又剩些什么呢?过去的日子如轻烟却被微风吹散了,如薄雾。被初阳蒸融了;我留着些什么痕迹呢?我何曾留着像游丝样的痕迹呢?我赤裸裸来到这世界,转眼间也将赤裸裸地回去罢?但不能平的,为什么偏要白白走这一遭啊?
    你聪明的,告诉我,我们的日子为什么一去不复返呢?

选项

答案 What can I do,in this bustling World,with my clays flying in their escape? Nothing but to hesitate, to rush.What have I been doing in that eight-thousand-day rush,apart from hesitating? Those bygone days have been dispersed as smoke by a light wind,or evaporated as mist by the morning sun. What traces have I left behind me? Have I ever left behind any gossamer traces at all? I have come to the world,stark-naked; am I to g0 back,in a blink,in the same stark-nakedness? It is not fair though: why should I have made such a trip for nothing!

解析     首句中,“逝去如飞的日子里”可以直接按字面翻译,即days flying in their escape。“千门万户的世界一可以理解为“忙乱的世界”之意,可译成bustling world。“只有徘徊罢了,只有匆匆罢了”为省略句,翻译时也可译成短语,使用nothing but…这一结构。根据前面的动词“徘徊”可知,这里的“又剩些什么呢?”是指“又做些什么呢?”之意,故翻译成what have I been doing。“如轻烟……吹散了,如薄雾……蒸融了”是平行结构,翻译时英文也应该使用平行结构,这里用done as…by…这一用法。“游丝样的”即gossamer。“赤裸裸的”是stark-naked。“转眼间”可以是in a blink或in a twinkling of an eye。
