我冒了严寒,回到相隔二千余里,别了二十余年的故乡去。时候既然是深冬,渐近故乡时,天气又阴晦了,冷风吹进船舱中,呜呜的响,从蓬隙向外一望,苍黄的天底下,远近横着几个萧索的荒村,没有一些活气。我的心禁不住悲凉起来了。 啊!这不是我二十年来时时记得的故乡

问题     我冒了严寒,回到相隔二千余里,别了二十余年的故乡去。时候既然是深冬,渐近故乡时,天气又阴晦了,冷风吹进船舱中,呜呜的响,从蓬隙向外一望,苍黄的天底下,远近横着几个萧索的荒村,没有一些活气。我的心禁不住悲凉起来了。
    啊!这不是我二十年来时时记得的故乡?
    我所记得的故乡全不如此。我的故乡好得多了。但要我记起他的美丽,说出他的佳处来,却又没有影像,没有言辞了。仿佛也就是如此。于是我自己解释说:故乡本也如此,虽然没有进步,也未必有如我所感的悲凉,这只是我自己心情的改变罢了,因为我这次回乡,本没有什么好心情。

选项

答案 Braving the bitter cold, I traveled more than two thousand miles back to my hometown I had left over twenty years. It was late winter. As we drew near my hometown, the day became overcast and a cold wind blew into the cabin of our boat, while all one could see through the slits in our bamboo awning were a few desolate villages, void of any sign of life, scattered far and near under the somber yellow sky. I could not help feeling depressed. Ah! Surely this was not the old home I had been remembering for the past twenty years? My hometown I remembered was not in the least like this. It was much better in my memory. But if you asked me to recall its peculiar charm or describe its beauties, I had no clear impression, no words to describe it.

解析 1.第一句中两个动词连用,“冒了”、“回到”,汉语句与句之间依靠语意贯通,而英语中旬与句之间的衔接连贯依赖连接词。在翻译时要注意这种差异。当汉语中动词连用时,首先判断出哪个是主要动词,将此作为译文中主要动词,其他动词用分词或介词词组翻译,此句中“回到故乡”为主要动词,“冒了严寒”用介词词组表达,以使句子之间连接更紧密。
2.第二句是汉语中的长句,语意比较复杂,为了突出核心信息“远近横着几个萧索的荒村”,翻译时各分句应围绕核心信息展开,分别用形容词短语void of any sign of life以及过去分词短语scattered far and near the somber yellow sky来修饰荒村,这样句子结构更为紧凑,更能描绘出冬季故乡村落的萧索荒凉。
3.第三句中“禁不住……”用词组could not help doing sth.来表达。
4.第四句应注意“时时记得”在翻译时应该使用完成时的进行时态。
5.第五句“全不如此”一定注意不要漏译“全”,此处为“完全”之意。用否定式翻译更加强调。
6.第七句中“却又没有影像”,“影像”此处理解为“印象”,译为impression。
