英语三级考试翻译辅导习题

1. 我常常做梦。无月无星的黑夜里我的梦最多。

I often have dreams， especially on a moonless and starless dark night.

2. 天渐渐地亮开来。我的眼前异常明亮。泥沼没有了。我前面横着一片草原，新绿中点缀了红白色的花朵。我仰头望天。蔚蓝色的天幕上隐约地现出淡墨色的龙影，一身鳞甲还是乌亮乌亮的。

The day was dawning. My eyes were extremely bright. The swamp was nowhere to be found. Lying in front of me was a vast expanse of grassland with its fresh green studded with reddish white flowers. Looking up at the sky， I caught a glimpse of the blackish dragon silhouetted dimly against the azure sky， his scales and shell being as jet-black as ever.

3. When the truth is ugly， people try to keep it hidden， because they know if revealed， the damage it will do. So they conceal it within sturdy walls， or they place it behind closed doors， or they obscure it with clever disguises， but truth ， no matter how ugly， always emerges， and someone we care about always ends up getting hurt， and someone else will revel in their pain， and that‘s the ugliest truth of all。（英译汉）

当真相很丑陋的时候，人们想法设法来掩盖它。因为他们知道一旦被发现，后果相当严重。所以他们用严实的墙来遮蔽它；或把真相关在紧闭的门后；或用聪明的伪装使它们变得朦胧。但不管真相多么丑陋，它们总会浮现，那些我们关心的人最后还是会受到伤害，而另外一些人却为他们的痛苦而快乐，这才是最丑陋的事实。
