2014年6月英語(yǔ)四級(jí)翻譯練習(xí)：欣賞自然

　　請(qǐng)將下面這段話翻譯成英文：

　　湖泊奇妙無(wú)比。蒼鷺(Heron)在岸邊緩緩地邁著步子，翠鳥(niǎo)(Kingfisher)和杜鵑換腳著從陽(yáng)光里飛入樹(shù)蔭，火雞模樣的大鳥(niǎo)在枯枝間忙碌，鷹在頭上盤旋。我們毋庸為時(shí)間擔(dān)憂，可以從容地欣賞周圍的一切。我乘坐的獨(dú)木舟船頭坐著個(gè)男孩，他用簡(jiǎn)陋的彈弓(sling)發(fā)射石彈擊打飛鳥(niǎo)。他擺出漂亮的架勢(shì)瞄準(zhǔn)飛鳥(niǎo)，卻一次又一次地偏離目標(biāo)：鳥(niǎo)總是飛出他的射程。他把彈弓塞回進(jìn)襯衣內(nèi)。我移開(kāi)目光。

　　湖水與河水都如熱帶雨林中的樹(shù)葉那樣乳濁：那水是面紗，是窗簾，是畫屏。

　　參考答案:

　　This lake was amazing and wonderful.Herons ploddedalong the shores,Kingfishers and cuckoos clatteredfrom sunlight to shade,great turkeylike birds fussedin dead branches,and hawks hovered above us.Therewas all the time in the world.And we couldappreciate everything surrounding by leisurely.The boy in the bow of my canoe slappedstones at birds with a simple sling,a rubber thong and leather pad.He aimed brilliantly atmoving targets,missed again and again;the birds were out of his range.He stuffed his slingback in his shirt.Then I looked away.

　　The lake and river waters were as opaque as rainforest leaves;the water was veil,blind,paintedscreen.

　　考點(diǎn)分析：

　　蒼鷺(Heron)在岸邊緩緩地邁著步子，翠鳥(niǎo)(Kingfisher)和杜鵑換腳著從陽(yáng)光里飛入樹(shù)蔭，火雞模樣的大鳥(niǎo)在枯枝間忙碌，鷹在頭上盤旋。

　　分析:

　　這個(gè)句子中描繪的五種動(dòng)物動(dòng)作的動(dòng)詞是翻譯重點(diǎn)，要選擇最恰當(dāng)?shù)脑~匯。另外杜鵑，鷹為常用鳥(niǎo)的名字，譯為cuckoo,hawk。
