专八翻译练习（一） The two boats started off in the dark. Nick heard the oarlocks of the other boat quite a way ahead of them in the mist. The?Indians?rowed?with?quick?choppy?strokes.?Nick?layback?with?his?father’s arm around him. It was cold on the water. The?Indian?who?was?rowing?them?was?working?very?hard,?but the?other?boat moved further ahead in the mist all the time. ??Where?are?we?going,?Dad?”?Nick?asked.???‘‘Over?to?the?Indian?camp.?There?is?an?Indian?lady?very sick.???Oh,?said?Nick.Across?the?bay?they?found?the?other?boat?beached. Uncle?George?was?smoking?a?cigar?in?the dark. The young Indian pulled the boat way up on the beach. Uncle?George?gave?both?the?Indians cigars. ?They?walked?up?from?the beach through?a?meadow?that?was?soaking?wet?with?dew, following the young Indian who carried a lantern. ?Then they went?into?the?woods?and?followed?a?trail?that led?to?the?logging?road?that?ran?back?into?the?hills. It was much lighter on the logging road as the timber was cut away on both sides. The?young?Indian?stopped?and?blew out his lantern and they all?walked?on?along?the?road. 背景介绍：本篇节选自海明威的《印第安寨子》(Indi?Camp)，语言简洁、含蓄、自然，这是译文要传达的第一要领。流畅是所有翻译的共同要求，达到流畅的一个重要途径是连贯，包括语序的调整，词义的变通，指称的匹配，句子的连接等等。 难点解析：1.?oarlocks?：桨架。2.?choppy?strokes: “choppy，，意为 “having?many?small waves;?rough?(波涛涌的”，这里指摇桨拍打着水面。3.?ver?to?the?Indian?camp： over表示 “across(a?street, an?open?space,?etc)”， 即“穿过，横过（街道、开阔地等）”。Take?these?letters?over?to?the?post?office.(把这些信送到对面邮局去)“又如，Let?me?row?you?over?to?the?other?side of?the?lake.(我把你划到湖对岸去吧）”此句可译为：“到对面印第安人的寨子里。”4.?Across?the?bay?they?found?the?other?boat?beached: beach是动词，表示bring?(esp.?a boat?or?ship)?the water. 即指“船只从水中推或拖至岸上”， 故此句译为“从湖湾的水面远远望去，他们看见前面的那只船巳经停泊在湖滩上。”5.??They?walked?up?from?the?beach?through?a?meadow?that?was?soaking?wet?with?dew, following?the?young?Indian?who?carried?a?lantern?：翻译这句注意英语中的连贯与中文的连贯之间的差异。谋求译文连贯是文学作品翻译的必经之路。通过调整语序，可译为“他们一行跟着提灯笼的印第安小伙子离开湖滩，走进一片被露水打湿的草地。” 参考译文：两只小船在苍茫夜色中出发了。寨子的那只小船远远地冲在前面，雾 霭中尼克可以听到那船桨和桨架的撞击声。两个印第安人手摇船桨轻快地 拍打
