2019考研英语二翻译原文
Section III Translation
It is easy to underestimate English writer James Herriot. He had such a pleasant, readable style that one might think that anyone could imitate it. How many times have I heard people say, “I could write a book. I just haven’t the time.” Easily said. Not so easily done. James Herriot, contrary to popular opinion, did not find it easy in his early days of, as he put it, “having a go at the writing game”. While he obviously had an abundance of natural talent, the final, polished work that he gave to the world was the result of years of practicing, re-writing and reading. Like the majority of authors, he had to suffer many disappointments and rejections along the way, but these made him all the more determined to succeed. Everything he achieved in life was earned the hard way and his success in the literary field was no exception.
参考译文与得分要点
-
46请将上方短文翻译成中文。
参考译文人们很容易低估英国作家詹姆斯·赫里奥特。他的文笔如此轻松愉快、通俗易读，以至于有人会觉得谁都能模仿得来。我不知听过多少人说：“我也能写本书，只是没时间而已。”说起来容易，做起来难。与普遍看法相反，詹姆斯·赫里奥特在他所谓“尝试写作这一行当”的早期日子里，并不觉得轻松。尽管他显然天赋过人，但最终呈现给世人的那些精雕细琢的作品，却是多年练习、反复修改和广泛阅读的结果。和大多数作家一样，他一路上也经历了无数失望与退稿，但这些反而使他更加决心要取得成功。他一生中所取得的一切都来之不易，文学上的成功也不例外。
解析先抓主干：It is easy to underestimate… 译为“人们很容易低估…”，后接对 Herriot 文风的评价。that 引导结果状语从句，one might think 宜译成“有人会觉得”，anyone could imitate it 处理为“谁都能模仿得来”。contrary to popular opinion 作插入，译“与普遍看法相反”；as he put it 保留口语色彩，译“他所谓”。having a go at the writing game 勿直译成“玩游戏”，宜作“尝试写作这一行当”。polished work 转译“精雕细琢的作品”，practicing, re-writing and reading 用并列动词对应“练习、反复修改和广泛阅读”。被动 was earned 转主动“来之不易”。常见失分：漏译 easily said / not so easily done 的对仗、把 rejections 只译成“拒绝”而未点明“退稿”、忽略 all the more determined 的递进。
