翻译作业一讲解 1. Terry Apter, senior tutor at Newnham College, Cambridge, who specializes in the development of adolescents and young adults within the family and society, agrees, “A degree doesn’t give young people the head start that it gave young people in previous generation.” Many more people are getting degrees, while the number of traditional “milk round” graduate jobs has drastically dropped. 译文：剑桥大学纽纳姆学院专门研究家庭和社会中的青少年和青壮年发展的高级导师特里·阿普特尔也有同感：“学位无法给年轻人带来像前几代人年轻人那样的良好开端。”拿到学位的人越来越多，而传统的“巡回招聘”毕业生的工作职位数量大大减少。 1. milk round巡回招聘，这是招聘毕业生的，指的是大公司走访各大学和学院，向求职者介绍本公司情况并与报名者交谈。这类短语往往照字面译，而要弄清其确切含义。 2. head start意为“开始前的抢先；起步前的优势；有利的（或有希望、的）开端”。 2. “I was never cut out to be a doctor,” she said recently. “I got queasy, found it unappetizing and didn’t find it stimulating particularly either.” 译文：前不久，她说：“我根本不是当医生的料。当医生我感到不自在，觉得没吸引力，也不感到特别刺激。” Queasy：呕吐的；不稳定的；催吐的 To be cut out to be (for, to do) is an idiom, which means适合于；天生是干…的料 3. We’ve not achieved our success with a massive promotional push, rather by communicating with our customers. It’s fundamental, so I ensured there is constant dialogue by establishing a 5,000-strong-readers panel. This ensures we’re jumping through the right hoops, sustaining our new-found success by gleaning features ideas and over-mount advice, which the readers crave. 译文：我们取得成功靠的不是大规模促销，而是同我们的读者进行沟通。这一点十分重要。因此，我建立一个有五千人的读者调查群，从而确保能经常与读者沟通。这样做就确保我们时刻朝着正确的方向努力，慢慢收集读者渴望的有关特写内容和封面装帧的建议，从而保持我们新取得的成功。 4. David Hume argued that morals are founded on a basic sympathy for our fellow creatures, by which we can appreciate that they too have plans, projects and experiences of the world, ones that may not involve having to listen to the fascinating details of where-we-are-now. Confucius says, “What you do not want done to yourself, do not do to others.” QED. 译文：大卫·休谟认为，道德建立在对他人基本的同情之上，由此，我们会意识到，他人也有自己的社会生活的计划、方案和经验，他们不一定非得要对我们的什么事情都感兴趣。孔子说：“己所不欲，勿施于人”。这话说得很对。 一、“QED”在英汉词典中的解释 QED abbr. 1. =quod erat demonstrandum 【拉】证明完毕 二、QED出现在数学证明末尾，则代表证明的结束符。 三、QED系英文
