问题     看看社会上“有福”的人,有几个人的福是因为老实而得?看看那些发了横财、飞黄腾达的人,考察一下他们的发达过程,你便会得出另一个结论:不老实的人也会有福。这样说来,“吃亏是福”难道真的错了?
    其实,并不错的,不吃亏的福,与吃亏的福,虽同是“有福”,含义却大大不同。二者的差别是:不吃亏的福,福气浓烈,但“福兮祸所伏”;吃亏之福,福味清淡,但福祚长久。福,没有固定和统一的标准,是在相互比较中的一种感受,和粗茶淡饭、平民布衣相比,灯红酒绿、宝马香车的人就是福;和坐牢枪毙的人相比,躬耕陇亩、好好活着就是福。从这个角度说,“吃亏是福”永远没有错。

选项

答案In fact, it is not wrong. Blessing varies greatly in meaning for two different kinds of people. For those who gain benefits, the blessing is overwhelming but there are dangers hidden behind it; for those who suffer losses, the blessing seems light but it lasts longer. There is no fixed and unified standard to define what blessing is. It is a feeling in comparison. In contrast with the common people who live on the plain food, those who indulge in extravagant pleasure are blessed; in contrast with the people who are imprisoned or have been sentenced to death, those who are capable of farm work or are still alive are blessed. From this point of view, the saying that suffering a loss is a blessing is always right.

解析 1.画线部分第一句可分译为两句。前两个分句承接上一段,合译为一句。后四个分句翻译时,以“福”作主语。两种不同的福可理解为“‘福’对于两种不同的人含义不同”。
2.画线部分第二句中,“二者的差别”是对前一句的重复,翻译时可省译。“不吃亏的福”理解为“不吃亏的人”,即those who gain benefits;“吃亏之福”理解为“吃亏的人”,即thosewho suffer losses。“福气浓烈”指“福泽深厚,势不可挡”,可译为the blessing isoverwhelming;“福兮祸所伏”可译为there are dangers hidden behind it;“吃亏之福,福味清淡”的意思是“这样的福气看似轻淡、不够浓烈”,译作the blessing seems light;“福祚长久”可以译为but it lasts longer。
3.画线部分第三句可分译为三句。其中,“粗茶淡饭”的直译是coarse tea and plain rice,此处可意译为plain food,即“普通饮食”;“平民布衣”指“平民百姓”,可译为common people;“灯红酒绿”和“宝马香车”的直译是teasting and revelry和luxury cars,此处可意译为extravagant pleasure。
4.画线部分最后一句中,“吃亏是福”可泽为suffering a loss is a blessing。
