问题     For me the most interesting thing about a solitary life, and mine has been that for the last twenty years, is that it becomes increasingly rewarding. When I can wake up and watch the sun rise over the ocean, as I do most days, and know that I have and entire day ahead, uninterrupted, in which to write a few pages, take a walk with my dog, read and listen to music, I am flooded with happiness.
    I am lonely only when I am overtired, when I have worked too long without a break, when for the time being I feel empty and need filling up. And I am lonely sometimes when I come back home after a lecture trip, when I have seen a lot of people and talked a lot, and am full to the brim with experience that needs to be sorted out.
    Then for a little while the house feels huge and empty, and I wonder where my self is hiding. It has to be recaptured slowly by watering the plants and , perhaps, by looking again at each one as though it were a person.
    It takes a while, as I watch the surf blowing up in fountains, but the moment comes when the world falls away, and the self emerges again from the deep unconscious, bringing back all I have recently experienced to be explored and slowly understood.
选项
答案 只有当极度疲惫，连续工作时间太长，或者一时感到空虚并且需要充实的时候，我才感到孤独。有时，当我外出做完演讲回到家中，当我见了许多人，谈了许多话，满脑子都是有待整理出来的经历时，也会感到孤独。 于是，一时之间，房子仿佛变得十分巨大、空无。我纳闷自己不知藏到了何处。我只得去给植物浇水，或许把每一种植物都当作人再看上一眼，来慢慢找回自我。 我看着喷泉里水花上涌。那一时刻的到来需要等上一段时间，但终会来到：世界消失得无影无踪，自我从深远的无意识中重新出现，带回我最近所经历的有待探究和慢慢领悟的一切。
解析 <1>filling up相对于前面的empty而言，故可以用“充实”来译。
<2>and am full to the brim with experience此部分与此前的have seen a lot of people and talked a lot并列。full to the brim with表示“满是……”，“充满……”，to the brim的意思“充满，满到边缘”，此处与full连用，表达强调。
<3>It takes a while... but the moment comes when...这里的it指后面the moment comes。when引导的从句修饰the moment。
<4>fall away消失，离开;倾斜。
<5>to beexplored and slowly understood充当被提前的all的定语。
