2019 年翻译资格考试三级口译练习题：男孩 Two nine-year-old boys, neighbors and friends, were walking home from school. The one in the bright blue windbreaker was laughing and swinging a heavy-looking book bag toward the head of his friend, who kept ducking and stepping back. What ’ s the matter? asked the kid with the bag whooshing it over his head. You chicken? 两个九岁大的男孩一起放学回家， 他们既是邻居又是好朋友。其中一个身穿亮蓝色风衣， 他一边大声笑着， 一边将看上去很重的书包朝着同伴的脑袋甩来甩去。同伴不停地躲闪着、退让着， 惟恐被打中。 躲什么呀， 胆小鬼 ?呼呼挥舞着书包的那个男孩戏谑道。 His friend stopped, stood still and braced himself. The bag slammed into the side of his face, the thump audible all the way across the street where I stood watching. The impact knocked him to the ground, where he lay mildly stunned for a second. Then he struggled up, rubbing the side of his h ead. See? he said proudly. Im ’ no chicken. 于是，他的同伴停止了躲闪，鼓足勇气，站在原地一动不动。 不出所料， 书包嗵地一声打中了男孩的脸。 书包撞在脸上的声音很大，连站在街对面观望的我都听到了。 男孩倒在了地上，有一小会儿没能站起来，我想他恐怕是被打晕了。 孩子挣扎着站起来后，只是随手擦了擦被打中的地方，就骄傲地宣告：看到了 吗?我不是胆小鬼 ! No. A chicken would probably have had the sense to get out of the way. This boy was already well on the road to becoming a man, having learned one of the central ethics of his gender: Experience pain rather than show fear. 是的，他不是胆小鬼。 胆小鬼可能早想办法逃之夭夭了。 不 仅如此， 甚至可以说这个男孩已经快要成为一名男子汉了， 因为他已具备男子汉所应有的重要品质之一： 不惧怕痛苦， 勇于体验痛苦。 Women tend to see men as a giant problem in need of solution. They tell us that we ’ re remote and uncommunicative, that we need to demonstrate less machismo and more commitment, more humanity. But if you don’ut nderstand something about boys, you can ’utnderstand why men are the way we are, why we find it so difficult to make friends or to acknowledge our fears and problems. 女人往往认为男人身上存在着令人头痛的问题，需要解决。 她们常念叨和我们男人之间距离遥远，无法沟通 ; 还要求我们减少些男人气，增添些承诺和仁慈。 但是，如果不了解男孩子的 某些特点， 你就无法了解我们男人为什么是现在这种状况， 也无法了解男人为什么会觉得交友如此困难， 为什么感到恐惧和遇到难题时不愿承认。 Boys live in a world with its own Code of Conduct, a set of ruthless, unspoken, and unyielding rules: 男孩的世界自有其独特的行为准则，一套深藏于心的冷酷无情、坚定不屈的准则： Don’ t be a good-ygoody. 不能当老好人。 Never r
