等待

Waiting

 

‘It has been long since I said to him good-bye.

When shall we be together again?’ (Xu Zaisi- Yuang Dynasty)

 

 

Days Pass, the road grows longer.

I trip on high kerbs, step over

every cracked unmarked fissure,

cross to right or left, the seeker

always of a better way. You linger

in your youth, distracted ever

by a bird’s song or pretty flower.

 

But my youth has long ago gone

And winter threatens to be done

with me. Yet I persist. And turn

to wait for your light step alone.

It is your high spirits soon

to be shared for which I yearn,

as I sit waiting on this bench of stone.

等待

 

“与君话别已日久,何日我们再相聚?”(许在思—元朝)

 

光阴荏苒,路途漫漫。

我踏足于高高的边石,

越过每一块有裂缝的普通碎石,

到达右边或是左边,

对于找寻的人啊,会总有一种更好的方式。

你徘徊在自己的青春年华,

鸟儿的吟唱,花儿的美丽,都令你心驰神往。

 

但是我的青春早已逝去

而寒冬的威胁又要来到我的身旁。

然而我坚持不懈。

转而独自一人等待你轻盈的步履。

不久啊,你的愉快活泼就会感染我,而我是多么的渴望

当我坐着等待,在这长长的石头之上。

        由一个微笑开始,

               用一个吻来成长,

       用一滴泪去结束~~

 

 

当你爱上一个人而不被对方所爱,是一件很伤害的事。

但最痛苦的莫过你爱一个人而却没有勇气让他知道你的感受。

最好的朋友是那一种能够让你坐在秋千上,不发一言,

然后静静地一起离开,感觉就是从未有过最好的对话。

这是真实的 ~~

你永不知道你得到了什么直至你失去了的时候;

而更加真实的是

你永不会知道自己失去什么直他到达的时候。

 

要遇上一个人只要用一分钟的时间,

要喜欢上一个人只要一句话的时间;

 

要爱上一个人只要用一天的时间,

但要忘记一个人却要用一生的时间。

 

为自己的梦想而去想,

到自己想到的地方,做自己想做的事,

因为你只有一次的人生及一次机会去做这全部的事。

 

 

尝试把自己放在对方的立场,

当你感觉受到伤害时,很有可能他也在是被伤害。

 

  最快乐的人并没有需要拥有世上所有最好的事,

  而只需要令到大部份的事能沿着自己的人生而来。

 

  人生中一件伤心的事是当你遇见一个对你充满意义的人,

  但你却在最后才发现。

  一句不小心的说话会令一场骂战展开,

  一句残酷的句子会摧毁你一生,

  一句话爱的句子却会是无限的喜悦和祝福。

 

  爱由一个笑容开始,用一个吻来成长,用一滴眼泪来结束。

  当你出生时你一个人在哭,而所有在旁的在笑,

  因此请活出你的生命, 当你死的时候,

围绕你的人在哭而你便是唯一在笑。

 

 

译文: 

 Love starts from a smile,grows from a kiss and ends with a drop of tear.

 When you were born you were the only one crying while the others beside you were smiling,

 Therefore create you own life, and when you die,

   you will be only one who is smiling while the people around you are crying.

Love starts from a smile, grows from a kiss and ends with a drop of tear.

 

When you fall in love with a person and your love is not reciprocated, it is harmful.

But what hurts you most is that when you love a person but lack the courage to tell him your feelings.

The best friend is one who could let you sit on the swing, without saying a word and then leave with you quietly, making you feel that there is no conversation better than this.

This is true

You will never know what you get until you have lost it

But what is more true is that

you will never know what you have lost until he arrives.

 

One minute is enough for you to meet a person;

One sentence is enough for you to get attached to a person;

One day is enough for you to fall in love with a person;

But it takes you a lifetime to forget a person.

 

Dream with your own dreams,

go to your desired place, do things you want,

because you have only one lifetime and once chance to do the whole things.

 

Try to place yourself in other’s situation, and when you are feeling being hurt, 

 it is probable that he is also being hurt.

 

There is no need for the happiest person to have all the best things in the world,

However, he can make most things come along with his own life.

 

The sad thing in life is that when you meet a meaning person to you but you get to know that later in life.

 

An incautious utterance will lead to a a torrent of abuse;

A cruel sentence will ruin you life;

However, a sentence full of affection will become the spring of your endless joy and blessings.

 

Love starts from a smile,grows from a kiss and ends with a drop of tear.

When you were born you were the only one crying while the others beside you were

smiling,

Therefore create you own life, and when you die,

  you will be only one who is smiling while the people around you are crying.

 

英译汉作品

Ah, the sweet smell of fresh flowers, herbs and fruit. But what if you don't have room for a flower garden or a fruit tree? What about if you always over or under water your herb garden? What happens when your house just doesn't get a lot of sun? And what about when you try and try but you just don't have that coveted green thumb? Sigh. And even if you could grow that prize winning dahlia, what happens in the winter when you crave that subtle floral scen wafting through the house, room to room? You're probably not going to import 20 plumeria leis from Hawaii to fulfill your dream.

 

译文:

啊,新鲜的花朵、香草和水果的味道是多么的甜美!但是如果你没有地方培育花园或种植果树怎么办?如果你的香草园里浇水多了或浇水少了怎么办?当你的房子恰好阳光不充足怎么办?当你试了一遍又一遍就是得不到你想要的那种园艺技能怎么办?唯有叹气罢了。即使你能培育出那种可以获奖的大丽花,而在冬天,当你渴求那种隐隐的花香,飘荡在整座房子中,从一个房间飘到另一个房间时,那又怎么办呢?你很可能不会从夏威夷运进20个鸡蛋花花环来实现你的梦想。

我的试译文搞

中文

英文

同样是小学三年级的学生,在作文中说他们将来的志愿是当小丑。 国的老师斥之为:胸无大志,孺子不可教也!国的老师则会说:愿你把欢笑带给全世界!

身为长辈的我们,不但容易要求多于鼓励,更狭窄的界定了成功的定义。

As pupils of the third grade,if they  write in a composition that their wish is to become a clown, a Chinese teacher will

reprimand them,You are not easily to be taught well as you have no great ambitions!”Whereas a foreign teacher will say,May you bring joys and laughter to the whole world!”

 

As elders, we are inclined to having more requirements of the young than giving them encougements .Therefore, the definition of success is limited to a much narrower sense.

如果有凹陷、裂纹、变形等,请更换新的安全气囊总成。对其旧的部件,一定要展开后废弃。

不得测定安全气囊总成(爆管)的电路电阻,即使是用指定的测试仪也不可以。

如果用试验仪测定电阻,爆管内就有电流流动,这样有时会因静电而造成误展开,从而造成严重伤害事故。

空调

1.      不要在封闭的空间或接近明火的地方操作制冷剂,否则要产生有毒气体。

2.      空调关后,制冷剂立即起泡而后澄清。

3.      进入系统的水分在膨胀阀管口结冰,阻塞制冷剂的循环。

If there is indentation,crack or deformation,please change it for a new safty air bag assembly and discard the old components after unfolding.

 

Do not mensurate the circuit resistance of the saftey air bag assembly(exploding  pipe),even if the designated testing instrument is used.

 

If you measure the electric resistance with a testing instrument, there will be electric current flowing in the exploding pipe.In this way ,it will mistakenly unfold due to the static electricity,thus causing severe damages.

 

Air conditioner

1、  Do not use the refrigerant in a closed room or places near  lighting fire, or else posionous gas will come into being.

 

2、  When the air conditioner is turned off,the refrigerant will be full of bubbles and then become clear.

 

3、  The water coming into the system will freeze at the mouth of dilating valve and block the circulation of the refrigerant.

 

王小波文章摘要的翻译

原文:对于现世的人来说,与别人相较,大家都有些先天的特异性,有体质上的,也有文化上的。有件事情 大家都知道:日耳曼人生来和别的人有些不同:黄头发、蓝眼睛、大高个儿,等等。这种体质人类 学上的差异被极个别的混账日耳曼人抓住,就成了他们民族优越的证据,结果他们就做了很多伤天 害理的事。犹太民族则是个相反的例子:他们相信自己是上帝的选民,但在尘世上一点坏事都不做 。我喜欢犹太人,但我总觉得,倘他们不把选民这件事挂在心上,是不是会好些?假如三四十年代 的欧洲犹太人忘了这件事,对自己在尘世上的遭遇可能会更关心些,对纳粹分子的欺凌可能会做出 更有力的反抗:你也是人,我也是人,我凭什么伸着脖子让你来杀?我觉得有些被屠杀的犹太人可 能对上帝指望得太多了一点——当然,我也希望这些被屠杀的人现在都在天堂里,因为有那么多犹 太人被纳粹杀掉,我倒真心希望他们真是上帝的选民;即使此事一真,我这非选民就要当地狱里的 烤鸭,我也愿做这种牺牲——这种指望恐怕没起好作用。这两个例子都与特异性有关。当然,假如 有人笃信自己的特异性一定是好的,是优越、正义的象征,举一千个例子也说服不了他。我也不想说服谁,只是想要问问,成天说这个,有什么用?       

我的译文:Regarding people who live in this world, compared with others, everybody has somewhat congenital special characteristics, some in the physique and some in culture. As is known to all, Geomantic people are different from other people since birth: yellow hairs, blue eyes, tall in statue and so on. The differences in the physical and anthropological sense were seized by few Germans and became the evidence that their nationality was superior, and thus they had done some dishonorable things. Whereas the Judean nationality is the opposite: They believe that they are the voters of God and do not do anything immoral in the mortal world.
  Although I like the Jews, I always think whether it will be better if they do not put to heart the matter that they are voters of God. If in the 1930 and 1940's the Jews in Europe had forgotten this , they would have cared much more of their bitter experience in the mortal world and would make a more powerful revolt to the brutal treatment by the Nazi . They would thought like this: As we were both people, why should I be killed by you? In my view, some of the Jews who were slaughtered counted much more on God. Certainly I wish the people slaughtered now are in the heaven for there were so many Jews who were massacred by the Nazi and I sincerely hope that they are voters of God. Even if this thinking became a reality and I became a roast duck in the hell, I was willing to make this sacrifice. However, I worry that this kind of expectation will not have a good result.
     The two examples all concern with specificity. Certainly, if some people sincerely believe that their own special characteristics are definitely good, symbolizing their superiority and justice, I cannot convince him using 1000 examples. I do not want to convince anyone. I only want to ask: What’s the use of it if we talk about this all day long?
