问题     路上只我一个人,背着手踱着。这一片天地好像是我的;我也像超出了平常的自己,到了另一个世界里。我爱热闹,也爱冷静;爱群居,也爱独处。像今晚上,一个人在这苍茫的月下,什么都可以想,什么都可以不想,便觉是个自由的人。白天里一定要做的事,一定要说的话,现在都可不理。这是独处的妙处,我且受用这无边的荷香月色好了。

选项

答案 I am on my own, strolling, hands behind my back. This bit of the universe seems in my possession now; and I myself seem to have been uplifted from my ordinary self into another world. I like a serene and peaceful life, as much as a busy and active one; I like being in solitude, as much as in company. As it is tonight, basking in a misty moonshine all by myself, I feel I am a free man, free to think of anything, or of nothing. All that one is obliged to do or to say, in the daytime, can be very well cast aside now. That is the beauty of being alone. For the moment, just let me indulge in this profusion of moonlight and lotus fragrance.

解析 1.本文的作者是以第一人称来叙述的,主体时态为一般现在时。本文句子短小精悍,用词凝练,意境优美,翻译时应力求传达出原文的神韵。
2.“踱着”英译时可处理为分词短语形式,表示伴随状况,而“背着手”英译时也可处理为伴随状语。
3.第2句中,“天地”可译为“universe”,“超出了平常的自己”意即实现了一种超脱,故可译为“be upliftedfrom my ordinary life”。
4.理解“热闹”与“冷静”时,若结合前一句的“超出了平常的自己,到了另一个世界里”来看,“爱热闹,也爱冷静”意指“爱(平时的)热闹,也爱(现在的)冷静”,所以在“热闹”与“冷静”两者之间,似乎作者强调的是现在在另一个世界里的“冷静”,故译文中如使用“…as much as…”句型,“冷静”(a serene and peaceful life)应前置以示强调;同理,“独处”(being in solitude)也应该前置。
5.第4句中省略了主语“我”和宾语“自己”,即“像今晚上,(我)一个人在这苍茫的月光下……便觉(自己)是个自由的人”,在译文中应补充出来。“便觉(自己)是个自由的人”与该句的前半部分在逻辑上似有因果关系,故在译文中不妨按照英语“先说果,后释因”的习惯来组织分句:“…,I feel I am a free man,free to thinkof anything,or free to think of nothing.”其中第二个“free to think”可省略,这样可使译文更加简洁。
6.第5句中“现在都可不理”即“不被理会”,是汉语中无标志的被动语态,在译文中可以相应地处理成被动语态,译为“can be very well cast aside now”。
7.最后一句的翻译难在措辞。将“妙处”译为“beauty”不失为佳译;“且”即“暂且”,可译为“for the moment”;“受用”可以译为“indulge”或“enjoy”;“无边的”可以意译为“the profusion of”;“荷香月色”则不妨直译。
