主题:Plan out your life wisely 英译中小练笔
点击:630 | 回复:41 | 标签:
Plan out your life wisely, not as chance will have it, but with prudence and foresight. Without amusements it is wearisome, like a long journey where there are no inns: manifold knowledge gives manifold leasure. The first day 's journey of noble life souuld be passed in conversing with the dead : we live to know the world and to know ourselves: hence true books make us true men. The second day should be spent with the living, seeing and noticing all the good in the world. Everything is not to be found in a single country. The Universal Father has divided his gifts, and at times has given the richest dower to the ugliest. The third day is entirely for oneself. The last felicity is to be a philosopher.
短文不长,但要领会其中的含义,却并不容易。我希望英译中的词友们大胆尝试,一两句译文也可,甚至还可以跟贴讨论部分难句。互促互进,更上一个台阶,同时也把英译中办成一个英语爱好者学习的乐园。
机器翻译者,若被本狗咬伤,后果自负。
