问题     我母亲虽则并不知书识字,却把她的全副希望放在我的教育上。我是一个早慧的小孩,不满三岁时,就已认了八百多字,都是我父亲每天用红笺方块教我的。我才满三岁零点,便在学堂里念书。我当时是个多病的小孩,没有搀扶,不能跨一个六英寸高的门槛。但我比学堂里所有别的学生都能读能记些。我从不跟着村中的孩子们一块儿玩。更因我缺少游戏,我五岁时就得了“先生”的绰号。

选项

答案 Though my mother was not literate, she placed all her hope on me, giving me the chance to receive the best education. I was a precocious child. Before I was three years old, I have already learned more than eight hundred characters, which were taught one day after another by my father with small pieces of red paper. As early as I reached three I attended school. I was such a sickly child that without help I was not able to cross a six-inch high threshold. But I was more capable of reading and reciting than any other student in the school. I never played with other boys in the village. As a result, when I was five years old, I was dubbed "Mr. Antique".

解析 1.本文选自胡适自传《我的信仰》,选段共七句话,本文语言简朴易懂,翻译时应注意保持原文的语言风格。
2.第一句“母亲虽则并不识字”与“把希望放在我的教育上”是让步转折关系,在这里可用连词though连接两个分句。在英文里place the hope on的对象应该是人,所以可用现在分词短语giving me the chance to…引出母亲对我的期待。
3.第二句中“我是一个早慧的小孩”可单独成句,因为后面的三个短句都是对这句话的具体说明,“早慧(的)”可译为precocious。“都是我父亲每天用红笺方块教我的”可用定语从句译出,解释说明前文的“八百多字”。“认字”建议使用learn或know来表达。红笺指的是红色笺纸,过去多用以题写诗词或作名片等,可译作redpaper。
4.“三岁零点”可译作just over three years old,译文为体现上学早,用as early as I reached three来译。在学堂里念书,其含义就是“上学”,可以用attend school表达。
5.“所有别的学生”可用any other student,“能读能记”的“能”可以考虑使用be capable of doing sth.来表达。
6.最后两句可省略重复的部分,并补入一个表达因果关系的连词as a result,使逻辑更为通顺,也符合英文简洁的表达习惯。绰号“先生”的翻译,应当联系上下文语境,表现出作者不爱游戏爱读书的特质,建议使用antique来表达。
