问题    A person, like a commodity, needs packaging. But going too far is absolutely undesirable. A little exaggeration, however, does no harm when it shows the person’ s unique qualities to their advantages. To display personal charm in a casual and natural way, it is important for one to have a clear knowledge of one self. A master packager knows how to integrate art and nature without any traces of embellishment, so that the person so packaged is no commodity but a human being, lively and lovely.
   A young person, especially a female, radiant with beauty and full of life, has all the favor granted by God. Any attempt to make up would be self- defeating. Youth, however, comes and goes in a moment of doze. Packaging for the middle - aged is primarily to conceal the furrows ploughed by time. If you still en joy life’ s exuberance enough to retain self - confidence and pursue pioneering work, you are unique in your natural qualities, and your charm and grace will remain. Elderly people are beautiful if their river of life has been, through plains, mountains and jungles, running its course as it should. You have really lived your life which now arrives at a complacent stage of serenity, indifferent to fame or wealth. There is no need to resort to hair - dyeing--the snow - capped mountain is itself a beautiful scene of fairyland. Let your looks change from young to old synchronizing with the natural ageing process so as to keep in harmony with nature, for harmony itself is beauty, while the other way round will only end in unpleasantness. To be in the elder’ s company is like reading a thick book of deluxe edition that fascinates one so much as to be reluctant to part with.
   As long as one finds where one stands, one knows how to package oneself, just as a commodity establishes its brand by the right packaging.
选项
答案 中年人的包装主要是修复岁月的磨损，如果你到了中年，身体依然健康，充满自信与开拓精神，你的品质将是独一无二的，而且你将风韵犹存；到了老年的时候，如果你生命的河流正常地流过，流过了平原、高山和丛林，那么你是美的。你的美充满了安详与淡泊，因为你真正地生活过。老年人不需要去染发，老人的白发像高山的积雪，有种仙境之美。人该年轻时就年轻，该年老时就年老，这是与自然同步，这就是和谐。和谐就是美，反之就是丑。和老年人在一起就像读一本厚厚的精装书，魅力无穷，令人爱不释手。
解析    全文共有七句话要求翻译。原文的第一、二、三句采用了“缩句法”，用两个“如果”将三句话合译成一句，结构处理得当，且保持了原文风格。第四句话的翻译采用了“语序调整法”和“扩句法”，将which部分移至句子前半部分且译成一个独立分句，另外“因为”一词采用了“增译法”。原文第五句话的翻译采用了“扩句法”，将 the snow—capped mountain译成了一个分句形式。文章第六句话基本上是意译，其中也采用了“扩句法”，将一句话拆译成两句。文章最后一句话基本上采用了“顺译法”。整篇文章的翻译过程中应该注意的是要保持与原文风格的一致。
