美文賞譯《養花》
原文:
花雖多,但無(wú)奇花異草。珍貴的花草不易養活,看著(zhù)一棵好花生病欲死是件難過(guò)的事。我不愿時(shí)時(shí)落淚。北京的氣候,對養花來(lái)說(shuō),不算很好。冬天冷,春天多風(fēng),夏天不是干旱就是大雨傾盆;秋天最好,可是忽然會(huì )鬧霜凍。在這種氣候里,想把南方的'好花養活,我還沒(méi)有那么大的本事。因此,我只養些好種易活、自己會(huì )奮斗的花草。
譯文:
I grow many flowers,but none of them are exotic or rare ones.It is difficult to grow a precious flower species. And I feel bad to see a good flower dying of illness. I don’t want often to shed tears over that. But Beijing’s climate is more or less unfit for the growing of flowers. ----------------------- In a climate like this, it is far beyond my capacity to grow precious flowers of southern breed. Therefore,I only grow flowers and plants that are hardy and enjoy a high survival rate.
注解:
用enjoy a high survival rate(成活率高)表達“好種易活”,用hardy(耐寒,耐勞,能吃苦)表達“會(huì )奮斗的”
老舍(1899—1966),原名舒慶春,字舍予,北京人,滿(mǎn)族。他一生創(chuàng )作豐富,著(zhù)名的長(cháng)篇小說(shuō)有《月牙兒》《四世同堂》《駱駝祥子》等。老舍是一代“語(yǔ)言大師”,有駕馭語(yǔ)言的本領(lǐng),尤其善于運用北京話(huà),使作品具有濃厚的地方色彩和強烈的生活氣息,形成一種通俗又詼諧幽默的獨特風(fēng)格。在這篇《養花》中,通過(guò)作者寫(xiě)自己的養花實(shí)踐,切身體會(huì )到養花的樂(lè )趣:有喜有憂(yōu),有笑有淚,有花有果,有香有色。既須勞動(dòng),又長(cháng)見(jiàn)識。老舍愛(ài)花,寫(xiě)出了養花的樂(lè )趣,視花兒為自己生命的一部分,人花合一。文章短小簡(jiǎn)練,樸素雋永,語(yǔ)言白俗。

答案:
Freezing in winter, windy in spring, and either too dry or too often visited by rainstorms in summer. While autumn is the best of all, it is often plagued by a sudden frost.
