要点:
1,“飞机由一个熟悉的方面飞来了“意为”飞机突然由一个当地居民所熟悉的方向飞来了“,故译为A place appeared out of the blue from a direction only too familiar to the local inhabitants。其中out of the blue,我们在《加德满都的狗》中见过,意为”突然地“,属增益成分,原文虽无其词而有其意。
2,“飞机由一个熟悉的方面飞来了,洪大的震响惊动了当地的居民。他们脸上各画着一些恐怖的回忆。“”他们“和”居民“是重合部分,可用定语从句进行合译为A plane appeared out of the blue from a direction only too familiar to the local inhabitants, roaring to the alarm of everybody, on whose face was written memories of some previous horrors.
综述:本段译文动词的使用十分精彩,如roar, written,crawl, bury oneself to。。。充分体现了原文生动简洁的语言风格,值得我们借鉴
那是一只灰色的铁鸟。对这古城,它不是完全陌生的。大家都知道它还有伙伴们,无数的,随在背后。这只是只探子。它展着笔直的翅膀,掠过苍老的树枝,掠过寂静的瓦房,掠过皇家的御湖,环绕灿烂的琉璃瓦,飞着,飞着,古城如一个臃肿的老人,盘着不能动弹的腿,眼睁睁守着这一切。
That was a grey iron bird by no means a stranger to ancient city. Everybody knew it was a scout with a multitude of “buddies” right behind it. With its straight wings spread out, it swept past sturdy old trees, quiet tile-roofed dwellings and lakes of imperial gardens, and circled over dazzling glazed tiles. It kept flying and flying. The ancient city, like a clumsy old man sitting there with his numbed legs crossed, looked on helplessly in face of what was taking place before him.
