My love for mother is almost inexpressible. I smile by myself when I think of something I can do to please mother; I feel like crying when I worry about mother's health. Words fail me while silent simles and tears well express my innermost feelings.作者: Sunday7 时间: 2009-8-3 17:16 标题: 每日英语学习之汉译英3
参考译文:
Autumn, wherever it is, always has something to recommend itself. In North China, however, it is particularly limpid, serene and melancholy. To enjoy its atmosphere to the full in the onetime capital, I have, therefore, made light of travelling a long distance from Hangzhou to Qingdao, and thence to Peiping.
-- Yu Dafu Autumn in Peiping
tips:
1、“总是好的”不宜照字面直译。现译为 always has something to recommend itself，其中to have... to recommend... 作“有……可取之处”解。
2、“不远千里，要从杭州赶上青岛……”译为 have made light of travelling a long distance from Hangzhou to Qingdao...，其中 to make light of 是成语，作“对……不在乎”解。

Close your eyes and try to picture Britney with her navel covered. Can't do it, right? That's because you've never seen it covered. That's because it never has been. Say this, much for the young siren, though: she has helped liberate that six-inch swath of skin below the bra and above the belt for every X-chromosomal American, no matter how old, no matter what shape.作者: Sunday7 时间: 2009-8-11 17:28 标题: 每日英语学习之汉译英5
Few people treasure their time as much as their life. Time must not be wasted if you want to do your bit in your remaining years or acquire some useful knowledge to improve yourself and help others, so that your life may turn out to be significant and fruitful. All that is foolproof, yet few people really strive to make the best use of their time.
-- Liang Shiqiu Time Is Life
tips:
“这道理人人都懂”译为 all that is foolproof，其中 foolproof 作 very simple to understand解，意同“不言而喻”或“简单明了”。此句也可译为“all that is self-evident“。作者: Sunday7 时间: 2009-8-16 17:31 标题: 每日英语学习之汉译英6

1 Knowledge is a treasure, but practice is the key to it.
