问题     猫的性格实在有些古怪。说它老实吧，它的确有时候很乖。它会找个暖和的地方，成天睡大觉，无忧无虑，什么事也不过问。可是，它决定要出去玩玩，就会出走一天一夜，任凭谁怎么呼唤，它也不肯回来。说它贪玩吧，的确是呀，要不怎么会一天一夜不回家呢?可是，它听到老鼠的一点响动，又是多么尽职。它屏息凝视，一连就是几个钟头，非把老鼠等出来不可!
选项
答案A cat does have a weird personality. You can say it is well-behaved, sometimes it is. Lighthearted and careless, it may find a warm place and sleep soundly all day long. However, if it makes a decision to go out and play, then it might run away for a day and a night, however you call, it will not return. You can say it is playful, that is absolutely right. Otherwise it would have been back home long ago, wouldn’t it? However, when a cat hears any noise made by a mouse, it would turn quite responsible. Holding its breath in concentration for several hours, the cat would make up its mind to wait patiently until the mouse comes out.
解析 1．第一句总领全段，“实在”一词的翻译可以使用强调句式表现出来。
2．第二句中“老实”和“乖”皆可翻译为well-behaved，句中不宜出现单词的重复，故采取省略的手法，将“它的确有时候很乖”翻译成sometimes it is。
3．第三句中“无忧无虑”可翻译为Lighthearted and careless， “成天睡大觉”可翻译为sleep soundly all day long。
4．第四句中“决定”可翻译为makes a decision to，“回来”可译作return。
5．第五句中“贪玩”可翻译为playful，“的确是呀”表示强调的语气，故译为that is absolutely right，“要不怎么会一天一夜不回家呢?”翻译时可使用反问句及虚拟语气，用Otherwise it would have been back home long ago，wouldn’t it?来表示“本该早已回家却未回家”这一概念。
6．第六句中“老鼠的一点响动”可翻译为any noise made by a mouse。
7．第七句中“屏息凝视”可翻译为Holding its breath in concentration，更能清晰地体现出猫尽职的性格特点。
