It was a splendid population--- for all the slow, sleepy, sluggish-brained sloths stayed at home. （出来的）这批人个个出类拔萃——因为凡是呆板、呆滞、呆头呆脑的呆子都呆在了家里。 As a youngster I was effervescent, outgoing, and I talked too much. I had a talent for saying the wrong things at the wrong time. I tortured myself because of the foolish things I had said. 我年轻的时候，活力四射，乐于助人，非常健谈，而且还有在错误的场合发表错误言论的才能。言既出口，内心又懊恼不已。 坚持 4. Literal and Liberal Translation Literal translation: also called word-for-word translation, is ideally the segmentation of the SLT into individual words and TL rendering of those word-segments one at a time. 坚持 Professor Liu Zhongde(1994:172) defines literal translation as follows: “In the process of translation, literal translation treats sentences as basic units and at the same time takes the whole passage into consideration; a translator who attaches great importance to literal translation does his or her best to reproduce the ideas and writing style of the original work, retaining in the version as many rhetorical devices and sentence structures of the original as possible.” 坚持 Eg: 1. He is said to be a rough diamond. 人们说他是一块浑金璞玉。 2. Marriage, with peace, is this world’s paradise; with strife, this life’s purgatory. 和睦的婚姻，是这个世界的乐园；对抗的婚姻，是这个人生的炼狱。 坚持 You flatter me. A. 你吹捧我/你抬举我/你拍我马屁。 B. （你）过奖了。哪里，哪里！/岂敢，岂敢！ C. 我可没有那么大的能耐。 （It is an indirect way of refusal or denial.） 坚持 大哥比我大21岁，经常开玩笑说他养得出我。 A. My brother was 21 years older than I, and he often joked that he could have fathered me. B. … could have fathered a child of my age. 面对敌人的刺刀，他面不改色心不跳。 A. The color of his face does not change and his heart does not beat. B.
