2004年英语专业八级考试英译汉原文:
For me the most interesting thing about a solitary life, and mine has been that for the last twenty years, is that it becomes increasingly rewarding. When I can wake up and watch the sun rise over the ocean, as I do most days, and know that I have an entire day ahead, uninterrupted, in which to write a few pages, take a walk with my dog, read and listen to music, I am flooded with happiness.
I’m lonely only when I am overtired, when I have worked too long without a break, when from the time being I feel empty and need filling up. And I am lonely sometimes when I come back home after a lecture trip, when I have seen a lot of people and talked a lot, and am full to the brim(边缘) with experience that needs to be sorted out(挑选、选择).
Then for a little while the house feels huge and empty, and I wonder where my self(本性、本我)is hiding. It has to be recaptured slowly by watering the plants and perhaps, by looking again at each one(指代 plant植物)as though it were a person.It takes a while, as I watch the surf(水浪)blowing up in fountains(喷泉), but the moment( 指the lonely moment) comes when the worlds falls away, and the self emerges again from the deep unconscious(潜意识), bringing back all I have recently experienced to be explored and slowly understood.
考吧网译文:
只有我在非常疲劳的时候,在我不断工作了很长时间以后,在我倍感空虚,需要充实时候,我才会感到寂寞。而有时候在我结束巡回演讲回家的时候,在讲了很多话后,而且有太多经历需要整理时,我也会感到寂寞。于是,有那么一会儿,我感到房子又大又空,我都不知道我的自我又到哪里去了。这时,我必须给植物浇水,并挨个瞅瞅,仿佛他们是有生命的精灵一般,这样我才能慢慢找到我的那个自我。很长一段时间,我看着水浪从喷泉中喷涌而出。但只有当世界在我身边逐渐消失,当我再次从我内心深处的无意识中冒出来时,带给我最近的种种经历,让我探究,让我慢慢领会时,我才会感到寂寞。当我因为持续工作太久而感觉疲劳空虚,需要充实一下的时候,我会觉得孤独。有时,我出差做讲座,见很多人,说很多话,回来后脑子里很多东西需要理一理,这时我也会觉得孤独。
