多视角研究生英语翻译

1 Marva was a striking woman with high cheekbones and strong angular features, 马文是一个引人注目的女人,她有着高高的颧骨，瘦而强健，which she inherited along with a love of jewelry from a great-grandmother who was a Choctaw Indian. 这都遗传自她那乔克托印第安人血统的曾祖母。Slender though not willowy, Marva was immediately discernible(可辨别的) in a crowd——even without the visibility afforded by her height——for she had acquired a poise（体态，姿态）and sophistication（成熟，有教养的）that gave her appearance a deliberate（深思熟虑的）style. 马文老师瘦削而不软弱，就算她没有那么高，在人群中时还是一眼就能识别出来——因为她有着特别的镇静及教养，这些都使她有了一种严谨的风格。

2 Marva would rarely wear slacks, and she never wore loose-fitting shirts or casually（随意的）assembled（组合的）bloused and skirts. Sloppy （肥大的）dressing showed disrespect（无理）

for oneself, for the children, and for the profession（同行）. From the first day of class Marva was teaching that self-respect is the most important thing a person can have. For herself and for

the children Marva dressed impeccably（无可挑剔的）, favoring cashmere sweaters, suits, and herring-bone tweeds. Her clothing was tailored（裁制）and stylishly simple, but she usually added an ornamental（装饰的）touch: a carved belt cinched over a sweater, a gold medallion on a chain（链条）, an organdy boutonniere, or perhaps a lace handkerchief fanned in pleats across a pocket and held in place by a beaded lion’s-head brooch. In Marva’s opinion, it was important to have a unique imprint（印记）给人留下独特的印象是很重要的. She felt she was different from most people and delighted in her difference. It

was an attitude often mistaken for arrogance（自大）. 马文很少穿宽松衣服，也决不穿宽大的直筒连衣裙或不正式的短衫及裙子。马文认为宽大的衣服是对自己、对学生、对教师这一职业的不敬。从开学的第一天起，马文老师总会告诉设法让孩子们懂得：自尊是一个人最可宝贵的东西。马文的着装总是无可挑剔，这既是为了自己，也是为了学生们：她爱穿开司米羊毛衫、套装以及人字形花呢服装。她的衣服都剪裁得很合适，时髦而简单，但她常常会加上一个装饰品：在羊毛衫上配上一条雕有花纹的腰带，或一条有圆形浮雕的锁链，或玻璃纱襟花，抑或是一块用狮头胸针别在口袋上的花边手巾。在马文老师看来，。她欣然于自己的与众不同，但这有时也会引起一些误解，认为这是自大的表现。 3 “I am a teacher,”she said to the class on this first day. “A teacher is someone who leads. There is no magic here. Mrs. Collins is no miracle worker. I do not walk on water, I do not part the sea. I just love children and work harder than a lot of people, and so will you. 4 “Some teachers sit behind a big desk, like a king in a castle, and the children are like the poor peasants. The desk isolates them from the children. But I don’t sit behind a big desk in front of the class. I walk up and down the rows of desks every day and I hug each of you every day. “Have you ever been afraid to go up to the teacher’s desk? Did you think someone would laugh at you if you made a mistake?”Marva didn’t wait for an answer. She knew each child was following her closely. “Tell me when I’m wrong. You must never be afraid to tell a teacher if she is wrong. I’m not God. My mouth is no prayer（祈祷）book. We shall work together. How many of you have been afraid to ask other teachers questions?”Hands immediately went up. “一些老师坐在大大的桌子后面，就像一座城堡里的国王，而学生们则像是贫困的佃农——这桌子使老师和同学们分离开来。而我不会坐在教室前那张大大的桌子后面。我每天都会在教室里来回走动，我每天都会拥抱你们。”“以前你们害怕走到老师的
