问题     如果回归自然,各有不同的方式,后人总是尊重前辈的人生最后一次选择。一位朋友偶然讲起一件事,犹如一篇小小说,听者动容。
    在新开发的丛林里,一条蜿蜒的小径上,一个衣着素色的女子踽踽独行,径直走向林子里的一棵树。这里许多树太小参差不一,不过都长得很快,新生的树叶嫩绿有生机。当然,有人专门护理这些纪念树。
    不知多少年,这个女人总是带着一束鲜花默默地置于树根旁,然后仰起头来,对着树身凝视,翕动着她独有的小小嘴唇,既像独语,又像倾诉。她退后一步,打量她这树高了多少,细心地除去树下斑斑驳驳的落叶,向这棵移植多年的树倾身拥抱,亲了一下,轻轻摩挲树皮的皱纹,如同面对一个有生命的躯体。

选项

答案 In a newly opened-up forest, on a winding path, a woman in quiet clothes walked alone and went straight towards one of the trees. There were many trees of various sizes, but all were growing rapidly, covered with light green young leaves. Evidently, some people had been put in charge of these memorial trees. As she had been doing for many years, the woman always silently placed the bunch of fresh flowers she brought besides the roots. She raised her head to fix her eyes on the tree and kept moving her unique small lips as if she were soliloquizing or sharing her innermost feelings with someone. She took a step back to assess how much the tree had grown in height, carefully removing the mottled fallen leaves under it. She bent forward to hug and kiss the tree that had been transplanted many years before, gently stroking its wrinkled bark as if it were something alive.

解析 1.第一句和英文语序相似,可顺译,“素色”可译成in quiet clothes,“踽踽独行”可译成walk alone。
2.第二句中有三个短句,可把最后一个短句“新生的树叶嫩绿有生机”译成分词短语,既简洁又传神。
3.第三句的“当然”译成evidently更符合语境。
4.“翕动”意为“一张一合”,故翻译成keep moving;“倾诉”根据上下文语境可增译为sharing her innermost feelings with someone。
5.最后一句是个长句,有多个动词,可根据意群从“向这棵移植多年的树……”之前拆分成两句话。同时在拆分出的两句话中,把“细心地除去树下……”和“轻轻摩挲树皮……”翻译成分词短语,表示伴随,让拆分后的句式依然显得错落有致。
