Mental health is our birthright. (46) We don’t have to learn how to be mentally healthy; it is built into us in the same way that our bodies know how to heal a cut or mend a broken bone. Mental health can’t be learned, only reawakened. It is like the immune system of the body, which under stress or through lack of nutrition or exercise can be weakened, but which never leaves us. When we don’t understand the value of mental health and we don’t know how to gain access to it, mental health will remain hidden from us. (47) Our mental health doesn’t really go anywhere; like the sun behind a cloud, it can be temporarily hidden from view, but it is fully capable of being restored in an instant.
Mental health is the seed that contains self-esteem – confidence in ourselves and an ability to trust in our common sense. It allows us to have perspective on our lives – the ability to not take ourselves too seriously, to laugh at ourselves, to see the bigger picture, and to see that things will work out. It’s a form of innate or unlearned optimism. (48) Mental health allows us to view others with sympathy if they are having troubles, with kindness if they are in pain, and with unconditional love no matter who they are. Mental health is the source of creativity for solving problems, resolving conflict, making our surroundings more beautiful, managing our home life, or coming up with a creative business idea or invention to make our lives easier. It gives us patience for ourselves and toward others as well as patience while driving, catching a fish, working on our car, or raising a child. It allows us to see the beauty that surrounds us each moment in nature, in culture, in the flow of our daily lives.
(49) Although mental health is the cure-all for living our lives, it is perfectly ordinary as you will see that it has been there to direct you through all your difficult decisions. It has been available even in the most mundane of life situations to show you right from wrong, good from bad, friend from foe. Mental health has commonly been called conscience, instinct, wisdom, common sense, or the inner voice. We think of it simply as a healthy and helpful flow of intelligent thought. (50) As you will come to see, knowing that mental health is always available and knowing to trust it allow us to slow down to the moment and live life happily.
46请翻译第 46 处划线句。
参考译文我们不必学习如何保持心理健康;它是与生俱来的,就像我们的身体知道如何愈合伤口或修复断骨一样。
解析先抓并列结构:分号前 We don’t have to learn how to be mentally healthy 译为“不必学习如何保持心理健康”;后半 it is built into us 对应“与生俱来”。in the same way that 引出方式比较,bodies know how to heal a cut or mend a broken bone 宜译成“身体知道如何愈合伤口或修复断骨”。built into、heal a cut、mend 是得分词,勿直译成“建造进我们”。技巧是被动转状态、比较从句顺译。失分点:漏译分号后半、cut/bone 译成抽象“创伤”、how to 堆成冗长“怎样去学会”。
47请翻译第 47 处划线句。
参考译文我们的心理健康其实并未真正消失;它就像乌云背后的太阳,可能暂时被遮挡,却完全能够瞬间恢复。
解析主干 Our mental health doesn’t really go anywhere 宜译“并未真正消失/离开”,勿死译 go。like the sun behind a cloud 作明喻,temporarily hidden from view 译“暂时被遮挡”,fully capable of being restored in an instant 译“完全能够瞬间恢复”。被动 being restored 转主动“恢复”。失分点:go anywhere 译成“去任何地方”、漏 temporarily 或 instant、把 capable of 译成“有能力的人”。注意分号与 but 的让步递进,保持比喻完整。
48请翻译第 48 处划线句。
参考译文心理健康使我们在他人陷入困境时予以同情,在他人痛苦时予以善意,无论对方是谁都给予无条件的爱。
解析主干 Mental health allows us to view others with… 三个 with 短语并列:sympathy if they are having troubles、kindness if they are in pain、unconditional love no matter who they are。if 条件宜前置为“在他人陷入困境/痛苦时”。unconditional love、sympathy、kindness 分别对应无条件的爱、同情、善意。技巧是并列状语拆开、条件从句提前。失分点:三个 with 译成同一介词堆砌、no matter who 漏译、view 译成“观看”而非“看待/予以”。
49请翻译第 49 处划线句。
参考译文尽管心理健康是我们生活的万灵药,但它又极为平常,因为你会发现,它一直在指引你做出所有艰难的决定。
解析Although 让步:mental health is the cure-all for living our lives 译“生活的万灵药/灵丹妙药”,perfectly ordinary 译“极为平常”。as you will see that 表原因/结果,it has been there to direct you through all your difficult decisions 译“一直在指引你做出所有艰难决定”。cure-all、direct through、difficult decisions 是关键词。技巧:although 保留转折,there 增补为持续存在。失分点:cure-all 音译不译、ordinary 译成“普通得平庸”、漏 through all。
50请翻译第 50 处划线句。
参考译文正如你将逐渐认识到的,明白心理健康始终存在并信任它,能让我们放慢节奏、活在当下并幸福地生活。
解析As you will come to see 译“正如你将逐渐认识到”。两个 knowing 动名词并列作主语:knowing that mental health is always available 与 knowing to trust it,谓语 allow us to slow down to the moment and live life happily。available 译“始终存在/可得”,slow down to the moment 译“放慢节奏、活在当下”。技巧:动名词主语保留、不定式目的顺译。失分点:come to see 漏“逐渐”、两个 knowing 合成一句导致成分残缺、moment 只译“片刻”而丢掉当下之意。
