2019上半年翻译资格考试中级英语口译练习题（19）
1.抗战和文化建设须携手而行。那么，我要立志写个好剧本，大概并不能算作无聊。至于我能否如愿以偿，那就看我的努力如何了。愿与戏剧同仁共勉之。
Culture should develop along with the War against Japanese Aggression. And when I say I am going to write a play, I am not talking nonsense. As for whether I will be able to realize my dream, it depends on how hard I will work. I like to share with my friends and colleagues in this field this resolution and work together with them to make it come true.
2.天津卫这地方，大马路上不种五谷杂粮，小胡同里不长瓜果梨桃，满城几十万人口，几十万张嘴巴睁开眼睛要吃要喝，就算天津卫有九条河流横穿而过，即使这九条大河里游满了鱼虾螃蟹，连河岸边的青蛙一起捉来下锅，恐怕也喂不饱这几十万张肚皮。所以，君不见日日夜夜火车轮船不停地往天津运大米白面，城乡公路车拉肩担又不停地往天津送蔬菜瓜果。就这么着，天津爷们儿还吵闹着啥也买不到，大把的钞票攥在手心里愣花不出去。
The city of Tianjin produces neither grain nor fruit, and with a population of several thousand, if it would be difficult to feed all the residents, even if the place were endowed with 9 rivers teemed with fish and shrimps, and even if all the frogs in the river were killed for food. No wonder trains and ships carry rice and flour to Tianjin non-stop, day and night, and all roads to the city are congested with truckloads and cartloads of vegetables and fruits. Even so, Tianjin folks still obstreperously complain that there is absolutely nothing to buy, and there is simply no way to spend the huge limps of cash they are holding.
3.虽然上海男人被戏谑为“妻管严”，但他并不屈从于妻子。在与妻子有争议时，他要么保持沉默，要么一笑置之。有时候他会发火，但事后不久，他也会毫不迟疑地道歉。最终他妻子发现，她还是按照他的想法行事。
Shanghai men are jokingly hen-pecked husbands. However, they will never yield to their wives but remain silent or simile away the quarrels. And they will apologize without hesitation shortly after they lose their temper which is a rarity. Finally, their wives find themselves complying with what their husband say.
4.近几年来，父亲和我都是东奔西走，家中光景是一日不如一日。他少年出外谋生，独立支持，做了许多大事。哪知老境却如此颓唐!他触目伤怀，自然情不能自已。情郁于中，自然要发之于外;家庭琐屑往往触他之怒。他待我渐渐不同往日。但最近两年的不见，他终于忘却我的不好，只是惦记着我，惦记着我的儿子。
In recent years, both father and I have been living an unsettled life, and the circumstances of our family going from bad to worse. Father left home to seek a livelihood when young and did achieve quite a few things all on his own. To think that he should now be so downcast in old age! The sad state of affairs of the family drove him to utter despair, and his pent-up emotion had to find a vent. That is why even mere domestic trivialities often provoked his anger, and he became less and less nice with me. However, the separation of the last two years has made him more forgiving towards me. He keeps thinking about my son and me.
5.荡秋千作为游戏极为简单，但作为比赛项目对选手却是非常严峻的考验。评判的标准是看选手荡的高度和次数，一场比赛下来每个选手都会大汗淋漓疲惫不堪。一名15岁的黎族小姑娘刚刚参加了在“三月三”节庆里举行的荡秋千比赛，她高兴地对记者说，今年的三月三她和同伴荡到了7米高。这是她自己的最好成绩;虽然只荡了20下，但下来后她的两条腿都软了，想站都站不稳，还是教练扶着才走出赛场。
As a game, swing is very simple, but as a competitive sport, it becomes a tough challenge. Competitors will be judged by their swinging height and frequencies. They will be dog exhausted after each game. One 15-year-old girl of Li ethnic said that when they competed at this year’s March Three Event, she, along with her fellows, reached the height of seven meters, her personal best in the sport. Though she only swung back and fro for altogether twenty times, her two legs could not support herself when the competition was over and her coach had to help her come out of the venue.
6.雨声渐渐的住了，窗帘后隐隐的透进清光来。推开窗户一看，呀!凉云散了，树叶上的残滴，映着月儿，好似荧光千点，闪闪烁烁的动着。——真没想到苦雨孤灯后，会有这么一幅清美的图画!
凭窗站了一会儿，微微的觉得凉意浸人。转过身来，忽然眼花缭乱，屋子里的别的东西，都隐在光云里;一片幽辉，只浸着墙上画中的安琪儿。这白衣的安琪儿，抱着花儿，扬着翅儿，向着我微微的笑。
As the rain gradually ceased to patter, a glimmer of light began to filter into the room through the window curtain. I opened the window and looked out. Ah, the rain clouds had vanished and the remaining raindrops on the tree leaves glistened tremulously under the moonlight like myriads of fireflies. To think that there should appear before my eyes such a beautiful sight after the miserable rain on a lonely evening.
Standing at the window for a while, I felt a bit chilly. As I turned round, my eyes suddenly dazzled before the bright light and could not see things distinctly. Everything in the room was blurred by a haze of light except the angel in a picture on the wall. The angel in white was smiling on me with a bunch of flowers in his arms, his wings flapping.
7.等他们确知在我身上搜不出什么的时候，也就停手不搜了;又在我躲藏地方的周围，低头注目搜寻了一番，也毫无所得，他们是多么地失望呵!那个持弹欲放的兵士，也将拉着的引线，仍旧塞进榴弹的木桶里，转过来抢夺我的表和水笔。后彼此说定表和笔卖出钱来平分，才算无话。他们用怀疑而又惊异的目光，对我自上而下地望了几遍，就同声命令地说：“走吧!”
Finally, when they knew for certain that there was no money on me, they gave up the body search. Nevertheless they lowered their heads to scan here and there the place where I had hidden myself, but again in vain. How frustrated they must have felt! The soldier holding the grenade pushed the cord back into its wooden handle, and turned round to scramble for my watch and fountain pen. The two men, however, settled their dispute by agreeing to divide the money equally between them after selling the spoils. They eyed me up and down with suspicion and amazement before barking out in chorus, “Come along!”.
8.接读朋友的来信，尤其是远自海外犹带着异国风情的航空信，确是人生一大快事，如果无须回信的话，回信，是读信之乐的一大代价，久不回信，屡不回信，接信之乐必然就相对减少，以至于无，，这时，友情便暂告中断了，直到有一天在赎罪的心情下，你毅然回起信来。蹉跎了这么久，接信之乐早变成久信之苦，我表示这么一位累犯的罪人，郊游千百，几乎每一位朋友都数得出我的前科来，英国诗人奥登曾说他常常阁下重要的信件不回，躲在家里看他的侦探小说，王尔德有一次对韩黎说：“我认得不少人，满怀光明的远景来到伦敦，但是几个月后就整个崩溃了，因为他们有回信的习惯”显然王尔德认为，要过好日子，久的戒除回信的恶习。可见回信的人，原来不止我一个.
To get letters from friends, especially airmail letters from overseas that bear the stamp of exotic climes, is unquestionably one of life’s greatest pleasures, provided, that is, that they do not call for a reply. Answering letters is a heavy price to pay for the enjoyment of reading letters. The inevitable consequence of tardiness or infrequency in answering letters is a corresponding reduction in, and ultimate cessation of, the pleasure of receiving letters, in which case friendship is prematurely broken off, until the day in sackcloth and ashes you summon up the ceiving letters has turned to the misery of owing letters. I am an old lag in this respect: practically every one of the friends I have made in my comings and goings can recite from my clime sheet.W.H. Auden once admitted that he was in the habit of shelving important letters, preferring instead to curl up with a detective novel; while Oscar Wild remarked to Henley: “I have known men come to London full of bright prospects and seen them complete wrecks in a few months through a habit of answering letters.” Clearly Wilde’s view was that to enjoy life one should renounce the bad habit of answering letters. So I am not the only one to be faint-hearted in the regard.
9.我怀想着故乡的雷声和雨声。那隆隆的有力的搏击，从山谷反响到山谷，仿佛春之芽就从冻土里震动，惊醒，而怒茁出来。细草样柔的雨丝又以温存之手抚摸它，使它簇生油绿的枝叶而开出红色的花。
I remember fondly the sounds of my birthplace—the sounds of thunder and of rain. Those mighty crashes rumbled and reverberated from mountain valley to mountain valley, as if the new shoots of spring were shaking in the frozen ground, awakening, and bursting forth with a terrifying vigour. Threads of rain, soft as fine grass, would then caress them with a tender hand, so that clumps of glossy green leaves would sprout forth and red flowers burst open.
10.那边是南国风光，山是青的，水是绿的，小溪流更是清可见底!院里四季都有花开。水果是从枇杷、荔枝、龙眼，一直吃到福桔!对一个孩子来说，还有什么比这个更惬意的呢?
Over there we have the typical southern scenery with blue mountains, green waters, limpid brooks...! There in the courtyard we can always see some kind of flowers in full bloom throughout the year. Fruits ranging from loquats, lichees, longans to tangerines are in plenty. Is there anything more palatable to a little child than these fruits?
