问题     在人际关系问题上我们不要太浪漫主义。人是很有趣的,往往在接触一个人时首先看到的都是他或她的优点。这一点颇像是在餐馆里用餐的经验。开始吃头盘或冷碟的时候,印象很好。吃头两个主菜时,也是赞不绝口。愈吃愈趋于冷静,吃完了这顿宴席,缺点就都找出来了。于是转喜为怒,转赞美为责备挑剔,转首肯为摇头。这是因为,第一,开始吃的时候你正处于饥饿状态,而饿了吃糠甜如蜜,饱了吃蜜也不甜。第二,你初到一个餐馆,开始举筷子时有新鲜感,新盖的茅房三天香,这也可以叫做“陌生化效应”。

选项

答案 We shouldn’t be too romantic in interpersonal relations. Human beings are very interesting. Usually, when they meet a person they will first notice his or her merits. It’s just like the dining experience in a restaurant. The starter or cold dish will leave you a good impression. You will be full of praise while eating the first two main courses. The more you eat the calmer you will become. At the end of the dinner, all the shortcomings come out. Then happiness turns to anger, praise to scolding and nit-picking, and head-nodding to head-shaking. This is because; firstly, you are hungry when you begin eating. When you are hungry, the bran tastes as sweet as honey; however, when you are full, even the honey tastes insipid.

解析 1.画线部分第一句“在人际关系问题上我们不要太浪漫主义”中的“人际关系”可译为human relationships,也可译为interpersonal relations。注意不要译为interpersonal relationships。
2.画线部分第四句中的“头盘或冷碟”大家都理解,但翻译时却难找出合适的词来,“头盘”即第一道菜,可以翻译为The first dish或者The starter。
3.从画线部分第四句“开始吃头盘或冷碟的时候,印象很好”到第七句“于是转喜为怒……转首肯为摇头”都是无主句,但后面句子中出现了第二人称代词“你”,因此翻译时可采用增译法,增译主语you,使上下文一致。
4.画线部分第七句中“责备挑剔”可译为scolding and nit—picking,若翻译成criticism或complaint则与原文意思有一定出入。
5.翻译“转喜为怒,转赞美为责备挑剔,转首肯为摇头”时,可以用一个与原文类似的平行结构,将原文含义及语言特点体现出来。故翻译为Then happiness turns to anger,praise to scolding and nit—picking,and head—nodding to head—shaking。
6.翻译画线部分最后一句中的“饿了吃糠甜如蜜,饱了吃蜜也不甜”时最好采用意译的方法,译为When you are hungry,the bran tastes as sweet as honey;however,when you are full,even the honey tastes insipid。
