英汉翻译 李瑞英 Spring in the south is known to be rainy. During this season, it never rains there but it remains wet for seven or eight days on end. 江南的春天素称多雨，在这个季节，要么不下雨，一下就是七八天。 Dwellers in Shanghai, who usually do not feel the need for rain, will be bored with having to confine themselves in their close quarters when outside it is gloomy with rain. 住在上海的人们，平日感觉不到雨的需要，一旦下雨，天气是那么阴沉，谁也耐不住闷在狭小的家里； While in the open, seeing no mountains, nor lakes, nor rain-drenched soft green leaves, you’ll find nothing comparable to a fine day. Sometimes, worse still, a rich man’s car flashing past may splash you all over with mud. 可是跑到外面，看不到山，也看不到湖，也没有经雨的嫩绿的叶子，感觉一切都不及晴天好；更糟糕的是，有时阔人的汽车从你身旁驶过，还会溅你一身的污泥。 The process of translation The process of translation can be divided into 3 steps: Step 1: understanding (理解） Step 2: expressing （表达） Step 3: proofreading （校核） Understanding in word-level Correctly understand the meaning of the same word: Delicate diplomatic question delicate ear for music delicate feature delicate health delicate touch Delicate porcelain delicate sense of smell 微妙的外交问题 对音乐有鉴赏力 清秀的五官 虚弱的身体 生花妙笔 易碎的瓷器 灵敏的嗅觉 开门 open the door 开车 drive a car 开会 hold a meeting 开灯 turn on a light 开业 start a business 开支票 write a check 开玩笑 play a joke 开夜车 work late into the night Understanding on the culture level Pay attention to cultural differences in translation.

But that ?re is a rash one, ?ckle, ?uctuating and variable; it is a feverish ?re, subject to attacks and relapses, which only gets hold of a corner of us. 相比之下，我不得不承认前者的激情火花更为活跃，强烈，异变，它鲁莽猛烈，变化无常，起伏不定，变幻莫测；它躁动不安，来去匆匆，令一些人深陷其中，无法自拔。 2) under-expression (欠表达） 所
