问题     得病以前,我受父母宠爱,在家中横行霸道。一旦隔离,拘禁在花园山坡上一幢小房子里,我顿感打入冷宫,十分郁郁不得志起来。一个春天的傍晚,园中百花怒放,父母在园中设宴,一时宾客云集,笑语四溢。我在山坡的小屋里,悄悄掀起窗帘,窥见园中大干世界一片繁华,自己的哥姐、堂表弟兄也穿插其间,个个喜气洋洋。一霎时,一阵被人摒弃、为世所遗的悲愤兜上心头,禁不住痛哭起来。

选项

答案 Before I was taken ill, I had been spoiled by my parents and had formed the habit of getting everything done in my own way in the family. Once isolated and confined to a small house on the slope of the family garden, I suddenly felt myself cast into disfavor and my wings clipped. One spring evening, when myriads of flowers were in full bloom in the garden, my parents gave a banquet in the garden attended by many guests, whose arrival at once filled the garden with laughter. In the small house on the slope, I quietly lifted the curtain and caught a glimpse of the exciting and prosperous world outside with my elder brothers, sisters and cousins among the guests, all in high jubilation. All at once, seized by a fit of forlorn rage at being deserted, I could not help bursting into sad tears.

解析 1、本段叙述作者童年时代的一段经历,故总体上采用一般过去时。
2、第3句的“百花怒放”、“宾客云集”、“笑语四溢”均为汉语四字词组,翻译时不能拘泥于原文的形式,可采用意译法,但要注意前后衔接。“百花怒放”与前面的“春天的傍晚”关系紧密,可译成由when引导的定语从句,即when myriads of flowers are in fullbloom;“宾客云集”意为前来赴宴的客人很多,可以和“设宴”连在一起处理,译成gavea banquet in the garden attended by many guests:“笑语四溢”可译成fills the garden with laughter,“语”字在译文中可省略;“在园中设宴”不宜采用“移植”的翻译手段译成held a garden party,因为西方人的garden party与中国人的“宴”有着本质上的区别。
3、第4句的汉语四字词组“大干世界”和“一片繁华”可以合并为an exciting world of pros—perity;“喜气洋洋”是哥姐、堂表弟兄的状态,可用介词短语in high iubilation译出,充当主语补足语;“窥见”是“悄悄看到”的意思,可译成caught a glimpse of或caught aglance of。
4、第5句的“被人摒弃,为世所遗”意思重复,符合汉语的修辞方式,翻译时要适当裁减,避免重复累赘,可译成being deserted;“禁不住”英语短语为cannot help doing...:“悲愤”为既伤心又愤怒之意,可译成forlorn rage。
