要点:
1,“吃苦耐劳是我们这个民族的标志”译为Ours is a nation known for industry and self-denial.这种句式转换之前在《话说短文》中也出现过“…是中华民族的传统”也用了此句式。
2,“一个有志的人之能耐得清寒”译为A man of strong will should be able to endure Spartan living conditions.其中spartan或Spartan译为“斯巴达的,斯巴达式的”以及“艰苦朴素”解
3,“恶衣恶食,不足为耻,丰衣足食,不足为荣”= It should not be regarded as a disgrace to live a simple life. Nor should it be regarded as a glory to live a luxurious life.注意否定+Nor的使用
4,“体念艰难”即“我们更需看到面临的灾难”,故译it is even more necessary for us to see the tough conditions facing us
5,“物力维艰”指财物来之不易,译为all material resources are hard to come by
6,odds and ends意即“零碎的东西,杂七杂八的东西”
综述:注意本段句式的灵活性
以上数端不过是偶然拈来,好的习惯千头万绪,“勿以善小而不为”。习惯养成之后,便毫无勉强,临事心平气和,顺理成章。充满良好习惯的生活,才是合于“自然”的生活。
The above points have been picked by me at random. Good habits are too numerous to be dealt with one by one, but none, however, are too small to keep. Habit, once formed, will become your natural and spontaneous behaviour. A life full of good habits will be a life conforming with the law of nature.
