问题     生活就像一杯红酒，热爱生活的人会从其中品出无穷无尽的美妙。将它握在手中仔细观察，它的暗红色中有血的感觉，那正是生命的痕迹。抿一口留在口中回味，它的甘甜中有一丝苦涩，如人生一般复杂迷离。喝一口下肚，余香沁人心脾，让人终身受益。红酒越陈越美味，生活越丰富越美好。当人生走向晚年，就如一瓶待开封的好酒，其色彩是沉静的，味道中充满慷慨与智慧。
选项
答案Life is like a glass of wine, from which life’s passionate lovers will discover inexhaustible delights. If one holds the glass in his hand and inspects the wine carefully, he can find that the wine’s dark red color is reminiscent of the blood, which is the sign of life. If one takes a sip of the wine, its bittersweet flavor will persist in his mouth, calling for memories of life’s intricacies. Once the sip is swallowed, its lingering fragrance will gladden the heart and refresh the mind, leaving a person lifelong benefit. There is a remarkable resemblance between life and wine: The taste becomes more delicious as the wine mellows, just as life gets better as it is more enriched. When one approaches his old age, his life is just like a bottle of wine to be savored. Its color is restrained and self-possessed, while its taste brims with generosity and wisdom.
解析 1．第一句中，“热爱生活的人”译为life’s passionate lovers，其中passionate把对生活的热爱表现得淋漓尽致。“品出”的重心在于“品”，可结合后面的“无穷无尽的美妙”搭配翻译，活译成discover。“美妙”是一个虚词，意思模糊，翻译时不如将其具体化，译为delights“快乐"，因此整个动词短语可译为discover inexhaustible delights。
2．第二至四句有一个共同的特点，即缺少主语和连接词，这是汉语意合的一个表现，翻译成英语时需要加上。主语建议用不定人称代词one代替；连接词则应根据上下文的实际需要选用。“它的暗红色中有血的感觉”，注意不能直译为there is a trace of blood in its dark red color，否则就真的是酒中有血了。作者此处想要表达的意思是“它暗红的颜色能让人联想到血，而血正是生命的象征”。因此，建议将其意译为the wine’s dark red color is reminiscent of the blood，which is the sign of life。
3．第四句中，“沁人心脾”可以译为gladden the heart and refresh the mind。
4．第五句“红酒越陈越美味，生活越丰富越美好”隐含“生活和红酒之间有着显著的相似之处”的意思，可增译出There is a remarkable resemblance between life and wine…。
5．最后一句中，“当人生走向晚年，就如一瓶待开封的好酒”实际上是指“当人走向晚年，其人生就如一瓶待开封的好酒”，正好同第一句中的“生活就像一杯红酒”首尾呼应。因此可以译为When one approaches his old age／grows into his twilight years，his life is just like a bottle of wine to be savored。
