问题 不消说,相识的人数是随了年龄增加的,一个人年龄越大,走过的地方当过的职务越多,相识的人理该越增加了。可是相识的人并不就是朋友。我们和许多人相识,或是因了事务关系,或是因了偶然的机缘—如在别人请客的时候同席吃过饭之类。见面时点头或握手,有事时走访或通信,口头上彼此也称“朋友”,笔头上有时或称“仁兄”,诸如此类,其实只是一种社交上的客套,和“顿首”“百拜”同是仪式的虚伪。这种交际可以与是社交,和真正的友谊相差似乎很远。

选项

答案Needless to say,the number of acquaintances increases with one’s age.The older one gets,the more widely traveled one is and the more work experience one has,the more acquaintances one is supposed to have. But not all acquaintances are friends.We come to know many people either in the way of business or by mere chance-say,having been at the same table at a dinner party.We may be on nodding or hand-shaking terms, look up or correspond with each other on business,call each other "friend",sometimes write to each other with the salutation of" Dear So-and-So",etc.All these are,in fact,nothing but civilities of social life,as hypocritical as the polite formula dunshou (kowtow) or baibai (a hundred greetings) used after the signature in old-fashioned Chinese letter-writing.We may call them social intercourse,but they seem to have very little in common with genuine friendship.

解析 1.不消说,相识的人数是随了年龄增加的,一个人年龄越大,走过的地方当过的职务越多,相识的人理该越增加了。
  比较关系是语篇中的一种结构衔接关系。汉语“随了……增加”,“越……越……”,英语可用increase with,the more...the more(the less)等相应表达方法表现比较关系: Needless to say,the number of acquaintances increases with one’s age.The older one gets,the more widely traveled one is and the more work experience one has,the more acquaintances one is supposed to have.
  2.我们和许多人相识,或是因了事务关系,或是因了偶然的机缘——如在别人请客的时候同席吃过饭之类。这里“如”可用英语的衔接方法say表达: We come to know many people either in the way of business or by mere chance--say,having been at the same table at a dinner party.
  3.见面时点头或握手
  “见面时点头或握手”表示一种关系,可用on...terms译: We may be on nodding or hand-shaking terms.
  4.“仁兄”、“顿首”、“百拜”是汉语文化专项词,译文中应提供相关文化信息。笔头上有时或称“仁兄”: sometimes write to each other with the salutation of "Dear So-and-So"。“顿首”、“百拜”:dunshou(kowtow) or baibai(a hundred greetings)used after the signature in old-fashioned Chinese letter-writing.
