经典翻译案例赏析

STUDIES serve for delight, for ornament, and for ability. Their chief use for delight, is in privateness and retiring; for ornament, is in discourse; and for ability, is in the judgment, and disposition of business.

----Francis Bacon

读书足以怡情, 足以博采, 足以长才。其怡情也, 最见于独处幽居之时; 其博采也, 最见于高谈阔论之中, 其长才也, 最见于处事判事之际。

兔子不吃窝边草A rabbit never eats the grass near its cave.

好马不吃回头草A good horse should never turn back to eat grass. 天涯何处无芳草You can find fragrant grass everywhere.

“草”在中国所代表的含义？草： “普通”、“常见”、“低下”；草根、草民、草芥、草莽、草寇、草包；草率、草菅人命、草草了事 什么在英语当中表示“草”？fish

A loose fish（道德上）放荡不羁的人 Drink like a fish牛饮 不要班门弄斧Don’t teach a fish to swim.

以上句子的翻译还可以这样：

兔子不吃窝边草Never fish in your neighbor’s pond. 好马不吃回头草If you let a fish off, you let it off. 天涯何处无芳草She is not the only fish in the ocean. 巧妇难为无米之炊。

Even the cleverest housewife can’t cook a meal without rice. Even the cleverest housewife can’t make bread without flour.

If i should meet thee after long years. How should i greet thee? with silence and tears.

--George Gordon Byron
