问题     在四时中,我于秋是有偏爱的,所以不妨说说。秋是代表成熟,对于春天之明媚娇艳,夏日的茂密浓深,都是过来人,不足为奇了。所以其色淡,叶多黄,有古色苍茏之概,不单以葱翠争荣了。这是我所谓秋天的意味。大概我所爱的不是晚秋,是初秋,那时暄气初消,月正圆,蟹正肥,桂花(osmanthus)皎洁,也未陷入凛冽萧瑟气态,这是最值得赏乐的,那时的温和,如我烟上的红灰,只是一股熏熟的温香罢了。

选项

答案Of the four seasons, I have a preference for the autumn. We might talk about it as well. Autumn symbolizes maturity in that it has experienced and detached from the radiance of spring and the luxuriance of summer. Therefore, with light color and golden leaves, autumn is honored for an air of ancient deep green as well as its verdancy. This is what I call "the flavor of autumn". Rather than late autumn, what I may love is early autumn, when the summer heat gradually fades away but not yet falls into the state of cold bleakness, and when the moon is just full, crabs just deliciously fat and osmanthus still brightly white. This is most worthy of appreciation. The mild atmosphere then, just like the red dust on my pipe, is a share of smoked warm fragrance.

解析 1.本文选自林语堂所写散文《秋天的况味》。内容丰富,意境优美,在翻译时应该注意理解中文词语的真正含义,使用恰当的措辞将汉语文化里的一些意象转变为适合英文语境的内容,重组零散的中文句子。
2.第一句是总起,说明作者对秋情有独钟。“四时”所指是四季;“于秋是有偏爱的”应该适当调整语序,“有偏爱”可译为have a preference for。“不妨说说”可用对应的结构might as well do sth.表达。
3.第二句描写秋天的性质,“代表”可译为symbolize。“春天之明媚娇艳”可译为the radiance of spring,“夏日之茂密浓深”译为the luxuriance of summer,“过来人”和“不足为奇”说明秋天已经经历过春夏,且超脱于二者之上,可用动词experience and detach from...表达。
4.第三句动词较多,找出主干“以……争荣”作谓语动词,译为is honored for….其他部分可处理为介词短语。“色淡”“多黄”指秋天的性质,可用with短语译为with light color and golden leaves。“古色苍茏”可译为an air of ancient deep green。“葱翠”译为verdancy。
5.第四句承上启下。“秋天的意味”实指秋天的味道、情趣,故“意味”用flavor一词。
6.第五句较长,提到初秋的几个特点,其中最前面的“暄气初消”和最后面的“也未陷入凛冽萧瑟气态”讲天气特点,中间的“月正圆,蟹正肥,桂花皎洁”则是该时节的景物特点,故翻译时按此逻辑作语序调整,分译成两个when引导的定语从句,修饰early autumn。“桂花皎洁”此处“皎洁”应该指的是桂花颜色“白”,可译为brightly white。
