The end 语篇是一个结构整体，由若干个因素组成，其中每一个因素都有一个修辞作用，都与其他因素存在着话语关系。翻译时在选词遣字时要体现这种修辞作用，形容刻画时深含这种修辞意义，含而不露才是最重要的。 例1：Life is like a straight line. It never ends. Until you’re dead. You know? The ends never meet, obstacles that you’re going to find. You got to. ‘Cause if you don’t, you’re gonna be down. I mean you’re gonna be dead. You’re gonna die. And you’re gonna be nothin’. You just gotta keep goin.’ 【译文】 人生就像一条长长的直线，没有尽头，到死为止。知道吗？挣钱太少，麻烦时不时就会碰到。也是，一旦没了麻烦，你也就完了，彻底完了。要是你人都完了，也就什么都谈不上了！所以你得不停地朝前跑，不能分心。 You can’t let things bother you. You gotta try and put it out of your mind… Well to me, you gotta keep forward. You don’t wanna make no turns, ‘cause if you make a turn you’re gonna be off cause. And you’re not gonna go any further. So you just stay on a straight line. Sure, you’re gonna run into some obstacles but you gotta jump back on track. 【续】有些东西你要放得下……对我来说，是只能进，不能退，还不能转向。一转向就会走偏，一走偏就不可能朝前奔了。所以，你得顺着这条道一直奔下去。当然了，你会遇到些沟沟坎坎的，但是你得想办法跨过去，继续朝前奔。 例 3: The report was this: that Bartleby had been a subordinate clerk in the Dead Letter Office at Washington, from which he had been suddenly removed by a change in the administration. When I think over this rumor, I cannot adequately express the emotions which seize me. 【译文】事情是这样的：巴特比原来是华盛顿（邮政局）的死信科一个小职员，后来因为换了上司，突然遭到解雇。我把这个传说想了一下，那种紧紧控制着我的情感简直无法表达出来。 Dead letters! Does it not sound like dead men? Conceive a man by nature and misfortune prone to a pallid hopelessness, can any business seem more fitted to heighten it than that of continually handling these dead letters, and assorting them for the flames? For by the cart-load they are annually burned. 【续】死信！它听来不是跟死人一样么？想有这么一个人，他的天性和倒楣的运气往往会使他绝望得面色苍白，那么还有什么工作比终日不断地处理这些死信，把它们挑出来烧掉，更能使他越发面色苍白，越发感到绝望呢？因为这些死信每年总要一车一车地烧掉。 Sometimes from out the folded paper the pale clerk takes a ring: —the finger it was meant for, perhaps, moulders in the grave; a bank-note sent in swiftest charity: —he whom it would relieve, nor eats nor hungers any more; pardon for those who died despairin
