[p=30, 2, left][color=black]They got married in her house, where they decided they would live. It was such a beautiful refreshing thing to see, two people who you would have thought had pretty much lived their lives, were beginning a new one together. I have never seen my uncle happier. He is still in love and she loves him as much as he loves her.[/color][/p]

[color=#000000] [/color] The other fly in the ointment was that they were both very busy people
还有另一处不足的是，他们两个都是非常忙的人 {:5_120:}对了！！ [b]回复 [url=http://bbs.tingroom.com/redirect.php?goto=findpost&pid=760961&ptid=423758]3#[/url] [i]tang24[/i] [/b]

为什么呢？我觉得大部分单词还是不难啊，需要花点时间慢慢看。文章主要讲的是一对80多高龄的老人家的夕阳恋，然后告诉我们爱永远不迟，通俗一点说就是年龄不是问题。:qq88] 加油！ [b]回复 [url=http://bbs.tingroom.com/redirect.php?goto=findpost&pid=761329&ptid=423758]5#[/url] [i]leo123[/i] [/b]

亲，witness不是证人而是见证或者是目击差不多的意思哦。所以这个翻译有点小问题。 [b]回复 [url=http://bbs.tingroom.com/redirect.php?goto=findpost&pid=761354&ptid=423758]6#[/url] [i]xiaogua[/i] [/b]
英文不好！大概意思知道，只是我翻译出来。感觉有点变味了 He attended his church more frequently and his mourning was nearly unbearable to witness . 他去教堂频率更多，也证明这种悲痛几乎他要不能承受。
My cousin talked him into selling the house that he and my aunt had built together about twenty-five years before.表哥跟他谈卖掉那个他跟阿姨二十五年前一起建的房子。
They were like lovebirds and spent as much time together as they could. 他们像爱情鸟一样尽可能呆在一起。
The other fly in the ointment was that they were both very busy people 他们各自有自己的事要做
The clash in their relationship came when they neither wanted to leave their respective churches. 他们生活中有不同的是各自去自己的教堂。
They moved the wedding date up because neither wanted to wait any longer to "be together," and it was not proper to "be together" without being married.
他们预定婚礼日期因为他们都不想等待太多时间，并且也不想没有婚礼而在一起 [b]回复 [url=http://bbs.tingroom.com/redirect.php?goto=findpost&pid=762299&ptid=423758]10#[/url] [i]leo123[/i] [/b]
没关系的，首先要自己能尝试着看懂，然后多表达表达就好了。肯定能翻译的越来越好的。 [b]回复 [url=http://bbs.tingroom.com/redirect.php?goto=findpost&pid=762473&ptid=423758]11#[/url] [i]float[/i] [/b]
你回复之后有看给出的参考译文吗？你很积极参与，但是每个句子都有点小问题，可能是对某个单词或者短语的意思不太了解导致整句话的翻译有点走味，要多体会句子在整个文章的作用，这样有助于翻译的。加油啦，期待你的进步哦! good learning… The clash in their relationship came when they neither wanted to leave their respective churches.
他们的冲突总是发生在他们的信仰上。 好多句子翻译出来怎么发现自己都点觉得不通顺呢,看来还得多学习呀 it is nice to read
