翻译 1绪论 1.This large body of men had met on the previous night, despite the elements which were opposed to them, a heavy rain falling the whole of the night and drenching them to the skin. 这一大群人头天晚上还是聚到了一起，尽管老天与他们作对，整夜下着倾盆大雨，大家被淋得浑身透湿。（原文中的despite the elements which were opposed to them译作尽管老天与他们作对，读起来未免平板滞重、佶屈聱牙，如译作尽管天公不作美不仅传神达意，而且文字简练、十分得体。） 2. It is a way, he says, of paying tribute to the rocknroll era that had a huge impact on him as a child. So why did the idea come off the backburner and on to paper and then celluloid? Celebrity burn-out is the answer. Hollywoods man with the golden touch had had a string of box-office success, from Sleepless in Seattle to Toy Story and Apollo 13, and had won Oscars two years in succession, for Philadelphia and then Forrest Gump. 他说这是颂扬那个给童年的他带来巨大影响的摇滚乐时代的一种方式。那么这个想法怎么会由一个不起眼的念头变成了文字，然后又变成了电影呢？答案是名人精疲力尽了 3. They were sons of the men who had left their homes and taken to the mountains with their broad swords by their side. 他们都是那些抛妻别子、身带大刀进深山的好汉们的后代。（本例翻译时如不采取颠倒词序的方法，而译作他们是好汉们的后代，那些好汉们曾经抛妻别子、身带大刀进入深山，文气就弱多了。 4.The brokers hour is not only crowded, but minutes and seconds are hanging to all the straps and packing both front and rear platforms. 经纪人的时间不但是拥挤的，而且分分秒秒都挂在所有的皮带上，包装在前后的月台上。（译文完全直译，难以理解，可改译为：经纪人的时间不但是忙迫得像电车一样的拥挤，而且每分每秒车上所有的吊带都吊满了站立的乘客，在前后的站台上也挤得水泄不通。） 5.He wanted to learn, to know, to teach. 他渴望博学广闻，喜欢追根穷源，并且好为人师。（译文过分意译，偏离原作思想，可改译为：他想学习，增长知识，也愿意把自己的知识教给别人。） 6. He described the claim in alliteration fashion as a composite of fantasy, fallacy and fiction. 他用押头韵的方式把这种要求描绘成虚幻、虚妄和虚构的混合物。（头韵） 7.Read not to contradict and confute; nor to believe and take for granted; nor to find talk and discourse; but to weigh and consider. 读书时不可存心诘难作者，不可尽信书上所言，亦不可只为寻章摘句，而应推敲细思。（排比） 8．The winds of November were like summer breezes to him, and his face glowed with the pleasant cold. His cheeks were flushed and his eyes glistened; his vitality was intense, shining out upon others with almost a material warmth. 十一月的寒风，对他就像夏天吹拂的凉风一样。舒适的冷空气使他容光焕
