问题     书是我的恩师。贫穷剥夺了我童年的幸福,把我关在学校大门的外面,是书本敞开它宽厚的胸脯,接纳了我,给我以慷慨的哺育。没有书,就没有我的今天。——也许我早就委身于沟壑。书是我的良友。它给我一把金钥匙,诱导我打开浅短的视界、愚昧的头脑、闭塞的心灵,它从不吝惜对我帮助。书是我青春期的恋人,中年的知己,暮年的伴侣,有了它,我就不再愁寂寞,不再怕人情冷暖,世态炎凉。它使我成为精神世界的富翁。

选项

答案 Books are my beloved teachers. Poverty deprived me of my childhood happiness and school education, while books embraced me liberally and nurtured me generously. It is to them that I owe what I am today. Without them, I would probably have ended up in abject misery long ago. Books are my good friends, which have offered me a golden key to broadening my horizons and ridding myself of stupidity and ignorance. They spare no efforts to help me. Books are my sweethearts in my youth, my bosom friends in my middle age, and my companions in my declining years. They make me never feel lonely, nor fear social snobbery or fickleness of the world. It is no more than them that have made me rich in the inner world.

解析 1.第一句中的“恩师”可以译为beloved/affectionate teachers。
2.第二句可以使用对比性连词while来连接句子的两个部分。该句中的“敞开它宽厚的胸脯,接纳了我”意译为embraced me liberally较为贴切,并且与后半句中的nunured me generously对仗工整。
3.第三句不宜直译,使用owe…to...翻译较为确切。
4.第四句中“委身于沟壑”指的是“结局很悲惨”,因此可以译为ended up in abject misery。
5.第五句是一个小短句,并且与第六句结合较为紧密,因此翻译时可以用非限制性定语从句将这两句连接为一个长句,从而使译文符合英文长短句结合的原则。
6.在第七句中,翻译“青春期”“中年”和“暮年”三个词时可以分别译为in my youth,in mymiddle age以及in my declining years,从而避免用词的重复。该句中的“人情冷暖”和“世态炎凉”两个词组所表达的意思比较接近,指的是“世事反复无常,周围都是势利之辈”,因此可译为social snobbery or fickleness of the world。
7.最后一句在翻译时可以使用It is no more than…that…的强调句式来避免英语句式的单一与重复。
