五、翻譯(76-85)
漢譯英(76-80)
76.前幾天，窗外一陣陣的喧嘩笑聲，驚動了我。往外看時，原來是好幾十個男女同學，正在整理這片空地呢!女學生穿的羽絨衣，毛衣，紅紅綠綠的;男學生有的穿綠軍裝，有的穿深色的衣服。他們拿著種種工具，鋤土的鋤土，鏟土的鏟土，安放矮欄的就在場地邊上安插下小鐵欄桿。看來我們樓前這一大片土地，將會被這群青年人整治成一座綠草成茵、繁花似錦的公園……
Several days ago, I was suddenly disturbed by a joyous din from outside the window. Looking out of it, I saw scores of boy and girl students in the middle of tidying up the open ground. The girls were in colourful down jackets or woolen sweaters, and the boys were in green army uniforms or dark-coloured jackets. They worked with hoes or shovels. Some were busy fencing off the land with iron-bar railings. Evidently, they were trying to turn the wide open ground in front of our building into a garden bright with lush green grass and blooming flowers.
77.高爾夫是一項歷史悠久的運動，也是起源于英國的一項極為奇特的運動。15世紀，高爾夫開始出現在蘇格蘭。這項運動要求在一片寬闊的草地上，用球桿將一個白色的小球打進18個小洞。初，喜歡高爾夫的一般都是中年男性，他們打球的目的更多是在俱樂部的第19個洞——酒吧里消磨時間。
答案：One of the oldest, and let’s face it, most bizarre sports from Britain is golf. Originating from Scotland in the 15th century, the game involves whacking a small white ball around a large field and trying to make it land in a series of eighteen tiny holes in the ground. At first, the game was only fully understood by middle-aged men, who spend considerable time at the nineteenth hole — the clubhouse bar.
78.我作為一名作家，自然地要關心在美國人口中驚人比例的實用文盲，如果他們不能讀或不能理解他們所讀內容，他們就不會買書或是雜志。
答案： As an author， I am naturally concerned that a surprisingly large percentage of the population of the United States is functionally illiterate; if they can‘t read or cannot understand what they read， they won’t buy books， or this magazine.
79.他們不知道那解釋和點明其余部分合理的學說，那些表明似乎與其它相沖突的因素是可以協調一致的，或者應該提出兩個明顯有力的原因中的一個而不是另一個。
答案：They do not know those parts of the doctrine which explain and justify the remainder ; the considerations which show that a fact which seemingly conflicts with another is reconcilable with it， or that， of two apparently strong reasons， one and not the other ought to be preferred.
80.除了邏輯推理問題之外，在英國存在一種悠久的拒絕遣送違反他們意志的人們的傳統，這些人們發現他們處于英國政府的掌握，而這種政府接受的本質卻不確定的。
答案：Quite apart from the logistic problems， there existed a well-established tradition in Britain which refused to repatriate against their will people who found themselves in British hands and the nature of whose reception by their own government was， to say the least， dubious.
