A fifth grader gets a homework assignment to select his future career path from a list of occupations. He ticks “astronaut” but quickly adds “scientist” to the list and selects it as well. The boy is convinced that if he reads enough, he can explore as many career paths as he likes. And so he reads everything from encyclopedias to science fiction novels. He reads so passionately that his parents have to institute a “no reading policy” at the dinner table.
That boy was Bill Gates, and he hasn’t stopped reading yet – not even after becoming one of the most successful people on the planet. Nowadays, his reading material has changed from science fiction and reference books: recently, he revealed that he reads at least 50 nonfiction books a year. Gates chooses nonfiction titles because they explain how the world works. “Each book opens up new avenues of knowledge to explore”, Gates says.

参考译文一个五年级学生接到作业,要从一份职业列表中选择自己未来的职业道路。他勾选了“宇航员”,但又迅速在列表上加上“科学家”并同样选中。这个男孩坚信,只要读足够多的书,他就可以探索任意多的职业道路。于是他从百科全书到科幻小说,什么都读。他读得如此投入,以至于父母不得不规定晚饭时“禁止阅读”。那个男孩就是比尔·盖茨,他至今仍未停止阅读——即便已成为地球上最成功的人之一。如今,他的阅读材料已从科幻小说和参考书变成了其他:最近他透露,自己每年至少读50本非虚构类书籍。盖茨选择非虚构作品,是因为它们解释世界如何运转。“每一本书都开辟了新的知识探索途径,”盖茨说。
解析先抓各句主干:五年级生接到作业、勾选并增补职业、坚信读书可拓宽路径、读得投入以致家长立规、点明盖茨身份与至今未停、阅读材料转向非虚构及每年五十本、选择理由与引语。难词如 ticks、institute a “no reading policy”、nonfiction、opens up new avenues 宜分别译为勾选、规定晚饭禁读、非虚构类、开辟知识途径。技巧上被动与定语可转主动或后置分句,增补“那个男孩就是”使指代清楚,破折号保留递进。失分常在漏译 quickly adds、passionately、at least,以及把 science fiction 译成科幻电影或把 avenues 直译为大街。
