专八英译中答案
In some societies people want children for what might
be called familial reasons 1 : to extend the family line or
the family name 2 , to propitiate the ancestors; to
enable the proper functioning of religious rituals
involving the family 3 . Such reasons may seem thin in
the modern, secularized society but they have been and
are powerful indeed in other places.
In addition, one class of family reasons shares a
border with the following category 4 , namely, having
children in order to maintain or improve a marriage: to
hold the husband or occupy the wife 5 , to repair or
rejuvenate the marriage; to increase the number of
children on the assumption that family happiness lies
that way 6 . The point is underlined by its converse 7 : in
some societies the failure to bear children (or males) is a
threat to the marriage and a ready cause for divorce. 8
Beyond all that is the profound significance of children
to the very institution of the family itself. 9 To many
people, husband and wife alone do not seem a proper
family — they need children to enrich the circle, to validate its family character, to gather the redemptive
influence 10 of offspring. Children need the family, but
the family seems also to need children, as the social
institution uniquely available, at least in principle, for
security, comfort, assurance, and direction in a changing,
often hostile, world. To most people, such a home base,
in the literal sense, needs more than one person for
sustenance and in generational extension.
【 概述 】
本文是一篇典型的议论型语篇，用词正式，句法复杂，逻辑严谨，读起来很不顺口。这类文章很难理解，一般需要较高的推理能力。翻译时，要特别注意整篇文章的逻辑关系，特别注意语篇的连贯和衔接。
【 翻译要点评析 】
familial reasons ：家族原因。
to extend the family line or the family name ：就是汉语的传宗接代，延续香火。
to enable the proper functioning of religious rituals
involving the family ：字面意思为“ 使那些涉及到家庭的宗教仪式得以正常进行 ”，但这样的译文读起来很生硬，可以意译为“维系礼仪”。
to share a border with sth ： 与 …有联系 。
occupy the wife ： occupy 此处意为使忙碌，即“使妻子忙碌，让妻子有事可做”，不可直译为“占有妻子”。
to increase the number of children on the assumption
that family happiness lies that way ：英语善用名词或名词短语，但汉语喜用动词，因此翻译时用转译法将 the
assumption 译为“多生孩子，因为他们认为，多子才能多福”。
The point is underlined by its converse ： underline 显示（其重要性），整句译为“这一点从相反的方面更易显现。”
in some societies the failure to bear children (or males) is a threat to the marriage and a ready cause for
divorce ： and 在此处表示递进的关系，译为“也，而且”，全句译为“ 不生孩子（ 或不生男孩 ）不仅 是婚姻的一种威胁 ， 还成为离婚的便当理由 。”
Beyond all that is the profound significance of children
to the very institution of the family itself. ： beyond all
that 意为除此以外； institution 和 family 是同位关系，其意义并不是“风俗习惯”或“制度”，而是人类社会长期以来就有的社会机构或部门。因此
institution of the family itself. 这个短语译为“家庭自身这个机构或部门”。
redemptive influence ：赎救作用。该用法与基督教的教义有关，认为生孩子可以赎罪，可以了却罪孽，因为人类的共同祖先亚当和夏娃因吃禁果而有了罪孽。
【 参考译文 】
在有些社会，要孩子只是为了所谓的家族原因：传宗接代，延续香火，安慰祖辈，维系礼仪 。在现代世俗社会中，这类原因似显苍白，但在其他地方，这些原因确实强劲有力。
此外，有一类家族原因与下面一组原因共通，即生儿育女是为了维系或改善婚姻：能拴住丈夫或者让妻子有事可做；修复或重振婚姻；之所以多生孩子是因为他们认为多子多福。反过来说：在某些社会中，不生孩子（ 或不生男孩 ）不仅 是婚姻的一种威胁 ， 还成为离婚的便当理由 。
此外，更为重要的是，孩子对于家庭这一机构自身尤为重要。对许多人来说，夫妻两人还不算一个真正意义上的家庭——他们需要孩子来丰富两人小天地，使它具有家庭特征，并使他们自己从中获得 赎救 。
孩子需要家庭，家庭似乎也需要孩子。在一个变幻莫测、常常是充满敌意的世界中，家庭作为一种社会机构，以其特有的方式，至少在原则上，需要在孩子身上获得某种安全感、慰藉、保障和指望。对于多数人来说，这种原本意义上的家的基地，需要不止一个人来维持，使其代代相传，生生不息。

2004C-E:
在人际关系问题上我们不要太浪漫主义。
人是很有趣的，
往往在接触一个人时首先看到的都是他
或 她 的 优点。这一点颇 像是在餐馆里用餐的经验。开始吃头盘或冷碟的时候，印象很好。吃头两个主菜时，
也是赞不绝口。愈吃愈趋于冷静，吃完了这顿筵席，缺点就都找出来了。于是转喜为怒，转赞美为责备挑
剔，转首肯为摇头。这是因为，第一，开始吃的时候你正处于饥饿状态，而饿了吃糠甜加蜜，饱了吃蜜也
不甜。第二，你初到一个餐馆，开始举筷时有新鲜感，新盖的茅房三天香，这也可以叫做―陌生化效应。
参考译文：
We should not be too romantic in interpersonal relations. Human beings are interesting in that they tend
to first see good in a new acquaintance. This is like dining in a restaurant. You will be not only favorably
impressed with the first two courses. However, the more you have, the more sober you become until the
dinner ends up with all the flaws exposed. Consequently, your joy would give way to anger; your praises
to criticism or even fault-finding; and your nodding in agreement to shaking the head. What accounts for
all this is, in the first place, you are hungry when you start to eat. As the saying goes, ―Hunger is the best

白洋淀曾有“北国江南”的说法，但村舍的形制自具特色，与江南截然不同。南方多雨，屋顶是坡顶；这里的村舍则不同，屋顶是晒粮食的地方，而且历史上淀里每逢水大洪灾，村民就得把屋里的东西搬到屋顶上。房屋彼此挨得很近，有些屋顶几乎相连。（节选自 冯骥才《白洋淀之忧》 ）
译文仅供参考
Baiyangdian was once known as “Northern Jiangnan”. The southern
type of water town in the North is quite different from the village houses
in the south of China. The design and constructions of the cottage here
have their distinctive features. Village houses in the south have sloping
roofs to stand the rainy weather, while the cottages here have flat roofs to
dry the harvest in the sun. What’s more, every time the water flooded, the
villagers had to move belongings in the room onto the roof. These
cottages are so close to each other and some are almost connected.

1 2002年C-E: 大自然对人的恩赐，无论贫富，一律平等。所以人们对于大自然，全都一直并深深地依赖着。尤其在乡间，上千年来人们一直以不变的方式生活着。种植庄稼和葡萄，酿酒和饮酒，喂牛和挤奶，除草和栽花;在周末去教堂祈祷和做礼拜，在节日到广场拉琴、跳舞和唱歌;往日的田园依旧是今日的温馨家园。这样，每个地方都有自己的传说，风俗也就衍传了下来。
参考译文：
The bounty of nature is equal to everyone, rich or poor, and therefore all men are strongly attached to her. This is particularly true in the rural areas, where people have kept the same lifestyle for a millennium or so. They plant crops and grapevines, brew wine to drink, feed cows to milk, and weed gardens to grow flowers. They go to church at weekends, and they meet in the square on holidays, playing the violin, singing and dancing. The age-old land
remains the same as their family hearth. Each place boasts its folklore and thereby social customs go down.
2003C-E:
得病以前，我受父母宠爱，在家中横行霸道，一旦隔离，拘禁在花园山坡上一幢小房子里，我顿感打入冷宫，十分郁郁不得志起来。一个春天的傍晚，园中百花怒放，父母在园中设宴，一时宾客云集，笑语四溢。我在山坡的小屋里，悄悄掀起窗帘，窥见园中大千世界，一片繁华，自己的哥姐，堂表弟兄，也穿插其间，个个喜气洋洋。一霎时，一阵被人摒弃，为世所遗的悲愤兜上心头，禁不住痛哭起来。

Friends tend to become more intimated if they have the same interests and
temper, they can get along well and keep contacting; otherwise they will separate and
end the relationship. Friends who are more familiar and closer can not be too casual
and show no respect. Otherwise the harmony and balance will be broken, and the
friendship will also be nonexistent any more. Everyone hopes to have his own private
space, and if too casual among friends, it is easy to invade this piece of restricted
areas, which will lead to the conflict, resulting in alienation. It may be a small matter
to be rude to friends; however, it is likely to plant the devastating seeds. The best way
to keep the close relationship between friends is to keep contacts with restraint, and
do not bother each other.
