专八翻译练习：文学翻译一起练

What had he been afraid of, I asked myself? That, suddenly alone, he would discover that he bored himself, or that there was, quite simply, no self there to meet? But having taken the plunge, he is now on the brink of adventure; he is about to be launched into his own inner space to the astronaut. His every perception will come to him with a new freshness and, for a time, seem

startlingly original.

“他一直在害怕什么呢？”，我问自已。怕突然一个人呆着会

发现自已厌烦自己，或者怕会失去自我？但是有了这次偿试，他

便要开始探险了。他就要发射到自已内心的宇宙之中。他的所见

所感对他来说将会是全新的，一度会新颖的让人惊奇。

古文翻译（中译英）

五柳先生传

先生不知何许人也，亦不详其姓字。宅边有五柳树，因以为号焉。闲静少言，不慕荣利。好读书，不求甚解；每有会意，便欣然忘食。性嗜酒, 家贫而不能常得。亲心知其如此，或置酒而招之。造饮辄尽，期在必醉; 既醉而退，曾不吝请去留。环睹萧然，不蔽风日。短褐穿结，箪瓢屡牢。晏如也。常著文章自娱。颇示己志。忘怀得失，以此自终。《陶潜一陶渊明集》

白话翻译

孔子有一次乘车经过泰山旁边，在那边有一位妇女在坟前哭而口哭得很悲恸。

孔了把手扶在车前横木上听她哭，派了路去问她说：“您的哭声听起来实在像有好几件伤心的事似的。”

那个女人就说：“您的话说对了。从前我的公公死在老虎口中（被老虎咬死了），后來我的丈夫又死在老虎口中；现在我的儿子又死在老虎口中了。”孔子说：“为什么不离开这儿呢？”女人说：“这儿没有暴虐的政治。”孔子说：“弟子们记住这句话，暴虐的政治比老虎更凶猛可怕。
