散文翻译练习: 教材内容翻译: 我们上了半山亭，朝东一望，真是一片好景。茫茫苍苍的河北大平原就摆在眼前，烟树深处，正藏着我们的北京城。也妙，本来也算有点气魄的昆明湖，看起来只像一盆清水。万寿山、佛香阁，不过是些点缀的盆景。我们都忘了看红叶。红叶就在高头山坡上，满眼都是，半黄半红的，倒还有意思。可惜叶子伤了水，红得又不透。要是红透了，太阳一照，那颜色该有多浓。As we reached the pavilion, a truly beautiful sight unfolded itself to the east. The vast Hebei Plain stretched out in front of us with our beloved city, Beijing, hidden in the thick of the misty trees. It was wondrous, in a way, to see Kunming Lake in the Summer Palace, which had always been considered a great lake, appear more like a basin of clear water, and Wanshoushan (Longivy hill) and Foxiangge (Temple of Incense to the Buddha) mere little artifices for flower pots. We had forgotten about the leaves although the slope higher up was completely covered with them, yellowing and turning red. Too bad that the rain had spoilt the color, preventing them from turning a true red. How beautiful they might otherwise have been in the sunshine! 我的心不禁一颤：多可爱的小生灵啊，对人无所求，给人的却是极好的东西。蜜蜂是在酿蜜，又是在酿造生活；不是为自己，而是为人类酿造最甜的生活。蜜蜂是渺小的；蜜蜂却又多么高尚啊！My heart quivered. What lovely little things! They offer the best without getting anything in return. Making honey is also creating life, a most sweet life, not for themselves but for others. Bees are most insignificant creatures, but also how noble! 那是力争上游的一种树，笔直的干，笔直的枝。它的干呢，通常是丈把高，像是加以人工似的，一丈之内，绝无旁枝；它所有的丫枝呢，一律向上，而且仅仅靠拢，也像是加以人工似的，成为一束，绝无横斜逸出；它的宽大的叶子也是片片向上，几乎没有斜生的，更不说倒垂了；它的皮，光滑而有色的晕圈，微微泛出淡青色。这是虽在北方的风雪的压迫下却保持着倔强挺立的一种树！哪怕只有碗来粗细罢，它却努力向上发展，高到丈许，二丈，参天耸立，不屈不挠，对抗着西北风。It is an aspiring tree with a straight trunk and straight branches. The trunk is usually about ten feet high, as if man-made, with no lateral boughs for ten feet, and all its forked branches thrust upwards close together, as if man-made too, forming a cluster with none straying sideways or at an angle. All the broad leaves too rise upwards with hardly one slanting let alone drooping down. The bark is a glosssy silver halo tinged with light green. This tree remains stunbornly erect even when crushed by the wind and s
