问题     母亲因为我太不听话了，白天总是在外游玩，不肯规规矩矩地坐在家里，她就给我一件苦功做：每天吃了早饭，就到茶园里去采茶。
    从我家到茶园有二里多路，中饭是用小篮子盛着，着人送去的，我和嫂嫂还有许多采茶女，都要黄昏时候才能回家。
    我没有采茶的经验，常把一根一根的枝弄断了，嫂嫂急得跳起来：“妹妹，你还是去捉你的蝴蝶吧，不要弄坏了茶树，母亲知道了，又会骂你的。”
    “不，我一定要采，难道你生来就会采的吗?还不是学来的。”
    她是最拙嘴的人，常常被我说得没有话可答，这回她又失败了。
    与其说我在采茶，不如说我在采花还来得恰当。每次回家时，我的小篮子里老是装满了花，当经过一座五丈多长的石桥时，我就将花丢在桥下，让水流送到洞庭湖里去，还要嘱咐它一声：“花呀，你流到龙王那里去吧，美丽的公主，正要等着做新娘了呢。”
选项
答案 As I would play outside the whole day rather than obey orders and behave myself at home, my mother gave me a hard task. Every day after breakfast I had to go and pick tea leaves in our tea garden. From my home to the tea garden, it was more than two li. My lunch was put in a basket and carried to me. Besides my sister-in-law and I, there were many other girls, and all of us did not come home till sundown. With no experience in picking tea leaves, I often ruined the branches. My sister-in-law would jump up anxiously and yell, "You’d better go and catch butterflies, sis. Stop breaking the branches. If Mother knew, she would scold you again. " "No, I do need to go on. Did you know how to pick them when you were born or did you have to learn, too?" She was a poor talker and could seldom answer this question, so as usual she kept quiet. It would be more appropriate if I called it picking flowers rather than picking tea leaves. G On the way home, I would always have a small basketful of flowers. Going over the stone bridge which is about five zhang, I would throw the flowers down to the water and let the stream carry them to Dongting Lake, with a bidding: "Oh, flowers, flow on to the palace of the Dragon King. His beautiful princess is preparing for her wedding. "
解析     “听话”在这里表示“服从；接受；照办”，与听(1isten)和话(words)无关，应译为obey order粥“规规矩矩地坐在家里”与前边“听话”一样，也包含“守规矩”的含义，因此译为behave myself，其中“坐在家里”无需按照字面译出；“不肯”表达的是相对于规规矩矩地坐在家里，“我”更喜欢在外游玩的意思，因此这两部分之问用would rather than连接；“苦功”在这里相当于“苦差事”，译为hard task。
    “一定”在这里起到了强调的作用，翻译时使用do放在动词原形前来加强该动词的语气；“采”承接上文嫂嫂制止她继续采茶的语境，译为go on；“难道你生来就会采的吗?还不是学来的。”中“天生就会采”和“学来的”是会采茶的两种截然不同的方式，翻译时使用表示选择含义的连词or，用选择疑问句的形式给人一种说话伶俐，咄咄逼人的感觉。
    这句内容较多，按照语意并根据“每次回家时”和“当经过一座五丈多长的石桥时”这两个时间状语将整句话分为两部分，第一部分介绍每次回家时篮子里装满花这件事，第二部分则详细描述自己在经过石桥时将花丢人水中这件事，层次更分明。“小篮子里老是装满了花”使用容器名词加后缀“ful”作量词，译为a small basketful of flowers，简洁地道。“五丈”为中国特有的长度单位，一丈相当于十英尺左右，翻译时需要根据文章背景考虑中英文长度单位的转换。“还要嘱咐它一声”这个动作与“将花丢在桥下”同时发生，因此使用with a bidding将其处理为状语引出，句型结构更有层次。
