2010考研英语二翻译原文

Section III Translation

“Sustainability” has become a popular word these days, but to Ted Ning, the concept will always have personal meaning. Having endured a painful period of unsustainability in his own life made it clear to him that sustainability-oriented values must be expressed through everyday action and choice.

Ning recalls spending a confusing year in the late 1990s selling insurance. He’d been through the dot-com boom and burst and, desperate for a job, signed on with a Boulder agency.

It didn’t go well. “It was a really bad move because that’s not my passion,” says Ning, whose dilemma about the job translated, predictably, into a lack of sales. “I was miserable. I had so much anxiety that I would wake up in the middle of the night and stare at the ceiling. I had no money and needed the job. Everyone said, ‘Just wait, you’ll turn the corner, give it some time.’”

参考译文与得分要点

  1. 46请将上方短文翻译成中文。

    参考译文“可持续性”如今成了一个流行词,但对泰德·宁来说,这个概念将永远具有个人意义。他在自己生活中经历过一段痛苦的不可持续时期,这使他清楚地认识到,以可持续为导向的价值观必须通过日常行动和选择来体现。宁回忆起20世纪90年代末卖保险的那令人困惑的一年。他经历了互联网泡沫的兴衰,迫切需要一份工作,于是签约加入了博尔德的一家保险代理机构。事情并不顺利。“这真是一次糟糕的选择,因为那不是我的热情所在,”宁说。他对这份工作的纠结,可想而知,导致了销售业绩不佳。“我很痛苦。我焦虑得半夜醒来盯着天花板。我没钱,需要这份工作。每个人都说:‘再等等,你会有转机的,给它点时间。’”

    解析先理清两层主干:前句“Sustainability has become... but to Ted Ning, the concept will always have...”对比流行用法与个人意义;后句 Having endured... made it clear that... 以动名词短语作主语,that 从句说明价值观须落到日常。难词可处理为:unsustainability→“不可持续时期”,sustainability-oriented values→“以可持续为导向的价值观”,dot-com boom and burst→“互联网泡沫的兴衰”,turn the corner→“会有转机”。参考译法多用被动转主动、抽象名词具体化,并增补“这使他清楚地认识到”。易失分处:Boulder 漏译或音译不当、dilemma...translated into 死译成“翻译成”、whose 定语从句硬嵌导致中文拗口、引语语气平淡未体现焦虑。长句宜断成两至三句,专名与习语先意译再核对是否漏信息。
