逐字逐句翻译版 • I went to the library in the afternoon. I took out a book. Then I put the book under my arm. I went home to eat supper. I opened the book after supper. Then I discovered that it was not the book I wanted. I was greatly annoyed. I was such a kind of man: I always take a book while I do not look at it. I had nobody to blame but myself.

– 主动、被动句式间杂
– 陈述、强调、倒装交替

工人们开了一个活跃的讨论会，他们讨论得很热

语篇意识翻译版 • In the afternoon, after borrowing a book from the library, I went back home for supper. What depressed me was that I didn’t find that it was the wrong book until after supper. That is what I am like: I take a book and run away without even a glance on it. There is nobody else to blame but myself.

• In 1953, America and England planned to use atomic bombs against Chinese aiding troops in Korea and to attack China with nuclear weapons. When the news was transferred to Beijing from diplomatic sources of a third country, the leaders of new China felt deeply worried and immediately decided to set up and develop atomic bomb and missile cause.

• In Paris, cocktail parties and buffet dinners in honor of this or that provide an excellent opportunity to make a lot of friends. When strangers meet on such occasions, an Asian tends to present his name card respectfully with both hands before the conversation, which seems to be required by etiquette. However, the French usually are not so ready with such a formality that they will excuse themselves after exchanges of a few words of greetings or even after a rambling chat about everything under the sun. They will offer cards only when they find each other agreeable and hope to further the relationship. And it seems somewhat unnatural 21 for them to do so before getting into conversation.

翻译中的节奏
• 我试着往前凑，它跳一跳，可是又停住， 看着我，小黑豆眼带出要亲近我又不完全 信任的神气。
• I was gingerly edging along toward the bird when it fluttered away a little and stopped again, staring back with its small, black, bean-like eyes that had a look of distrust while seeking to be friends with me.
• 如果静思太久，觉得孤独了，不妨翻开你可爱的 书，书会使你轻松让你充实。在静静的空间里读 一本好书，如同冬日里围坐一盆炭火与挚友谈心。 平日，因工作太忙，或交际太繁，你难得与古今 中外的智者交谈。而今，你却可以凝神倾听他们 的教诲了。在静心的阅读中，你的学识逐渐得到 增长。你也可以依随自己的爱好，去干任何一件 感兴趣的事。静静地听一段音乐，专注地画几笔 画，认真摆一盘残局，甚至翻翻往日影集，想念 一番遥远的朋友。这些，无一不是人生的快乐。

• When loneliness comes over you as a result of too much thinking, a favorite book will ease your mind and broaden your horizon. Reading a good book is like having a fireside chat with a close friend. At other times you may be so occupied with work or social intercourse as to have no time for books. Now you can peacefully listen to wise men of all times, enriching yourself with their ideas and enlarging your stock of knowledge. Or you can do other things to suit your taste: enjoy a piece of music, attentively draw a picture or arrange for a near-end game of Chinese chess. If you are in the mood, you may as well open an album and let the photos bring back 10 memories of those far away. Isn’t any one of these a
