Barely standing five feet tall and somewhat of a recluse, he was a quiet man. He seldom left the house. He didnt attend any of his childrens weddings-I even game away my sister-in-law at her wedding 分析：難點在于如何處理give away。查字典，我們能找到的意項有“背棄，出賣”，“泄露，暴漏，散掉；贈送，分送，辦法，放棄，犧牲等。 原譯：在我小姨子的婚禮上，我放棄了她。 改譯：甚至在我小姨子的婚禮上，也是由我把她交到新郎手上的。 整句翻譯：我的岳父是個小個子男人，身高只有五英尺（約1.5米），他有點隱遁避世，沉默寡言，一直都深居簡出。他從來不參加子女的婚禮甚至在我小姨子的婚禮上，也是由我把她交到新郎手上的。,考研翻譯完形高分策略,二. 翻譯“三步曲”之二：譯實詞，要講究,3） In dealing with a challenge on such a scale, it is no exaggeration to say “United we stand, divided we fall”. 分析：文中兩個關(guān)鍵的謂語，顯然不能直接譯成”站起來”和“倒下去”。 譯文：在應(yīng)對如此規(guī)模的挑戰(zhàn)時，可以毫不夸張地說，“聯(lián)合，我們就生存；分裂，我們就滅亡”。 4）This will be particularly true since energy pinch will make it difficult to continue agriculture in high-energy American fashion that makes it possible to combine few famers with high yields. 分析：若把combine .with high yields 譯成“把較少的農(nóng)民與高產(chǎn)量結(jié)合起來”，這顯然不知所云。 譯文：這種困境將是無疑的，因為能源的匱乏使農(nóng)業(yè)無法以美國式的高能量消耗繼續(xù)下去，而這種耕種方式使投入少數(shù)農(nóng)民就可獲得高產(chǎn)成為可能。,考研翻譯完形高分策略,4) Being interested in the relationship of language and thought, Whort developed the idea that the structure of language determines the structure of habitual thought in a society. 譯文：由于沃爾夫?qū)φZ言與思維的關(guān)系很感興趣，這使他逐漸形成了這樣的觀點：在一個社會中，語言的結(jié)構(gòu)決定了習(xí)慣思維的結(jié)構(gòu)。 Develop a close relationship with st.

Such as distinguished Huxley. 譯文：他說自己并不像著名的赫胥黎那樣，擁有極好的理解力或敏銳的洞察力。 2) The meat smelled admirably good.
