问题     清晨，太阳还没有露脸。校园里静悄悄的，大多数人还在梦乡享受清晨难得的凉爽，偶有晨练的老者在悄无声息地舒筋活骨。一阵微风吹过，树叶上的露珠嗖然滴落，空气中弥漫着一股湿漉漉的气息。在校园的一隅，一棵柳树之下匍匐着一个稚童，正在目不转睛盯着树旁地上的一个小洞。忽然，他发现了什么，先是拿树枝掏，接着用嘴吹，继而用水灌。一只蝉的幼虫被他逼得走投无路，只得从洞里钻出来，成为孩子的猎物。
选项
答案     In the morning the sun was yet to rise. All was quiet, as most people were still slumbering in the soothing pre-dawn coolness. Here and there a few elderly people were flexing their muscles in silence. A gentle breeze rose, and drops of morning dew fell from tree leaves to the ground, filling the air with a refreshing dampness. In the corner of the campus a child was lying on all fours under a tree, his eyes wide open as he peered curiously into a tiny hole in the ground. Suddenly, as if having discovered something, he began poking the hole with a tree wig and blowing air into it. Then he poured water into it. Cornered in the hole was the larva of a cicada, which had no choice but to crawl out and surrender itself to its captor.
解析 1、本文为描写性记叙文，描写某天清晨校园的景致及一孩童树下玩耍的情景，总体时态应为一般过去时。
2、“太阳还没露脸”指“还没日出”，故“露脸”可以用appear，come out，rise等表达。
3、第2句前两个分句隐含不太强烈的因果关系，可增译as使其连接更顺。由第1句可知，本句的“清晨”实指“日出前”，故可考虑译作pre-dawn。“舒筋活骨”可用短语flexone’s muscles表示。
4、“嗖然滴落”可以简单意译为drop／fall from the tree leaves。译文将“空气中弥漫着一股湿漉漉的气息”转译成分词短语，“湿漉漉的”转换成名词的dampness，使句式更为简洁。
5、“一隅”指“一个角落”；“匍匐”可译作grovel，lie prostrate或lie on all fours等；“目不转睛”可分译成两层意思：眼睛睁大，集中精神地看。根据文意，可适当增译curiously等词表达稚童的好奇之心。
6、“拿树枝掏”，“用嘴吹”，“用水灌”三个动作需根据英语的表达习惯灵活处理，可均增补“掏”，“吹”“灌”的对象“洞”，译成poke the hole with a tree wig and blowing air in—to it．Then he poured water into it。
7、“被他逼得走投无路”是拟人的手法，可译成伴随状语with nowhere to escape，译文译成“cornered in the hole”表达更简明、地道，不失为佳译。译文最后一句的had nochoice和surrender等词的译法沿袭了原文的拟人手法，使译文读起来更生动有趣。
