问题 Writers cannot bear the fact that poet John Keats died at 26, and only half playfully judge their own lives as failures when they pass that year.

选项

答案 诗人约翰·济慈26岁便溘然长逝,作家们对此难以接受。然而,他们自己过了26岁时,却半开玩笑地认为自己的生命是失败的。

解析 half作名词时指“一半”或“半数”,因此很多考生将其翻译成了“仅有半数的作家开玩笑地说”,但当它作名词时通常与of连用,很少单独作主语。因此half在此是副词,作修饰playfully的程度状语,译为“半开玩笑地”。
