五、翻译(76-85)
汉译英(76-80)
76.前几天，窗外一阵阵的喧哗笑声，惊动了我。往外看时，原来是好几十个男女同学，正在整理这片空地呢!女学生穿的羽绒衣，毛衣，红红绿绿的;男学生有的穿绿军装，有的穿深色的衣服。他们拿着种种工具，锄土的锄土，铲土的铲土，安放矮栏的就在场地边上安插下小铁栏杆。看来我们楼前这一大片土地，将会被这群青年人整治成一座绿草成茵、繁花似锦的公园……
Several days ago, I was suddenly disturbed by a joyous din from outside the window. Looking out of it, I saw scores of boy and girl students in the middle of tidying up the open ground. The girls were in colourful down jackets or woolen sweaters, and the boys were in green army uniforms or dark-coloured jackets. They worked with hoes or shovels. Some were busy fencing off the land with iron-bar railings. Evidently, they were trying to turn the wide open ground in front of our building into a garden bright with lush green grass and blooming flowers.
77.高尔夫是一项历史悠久的运动，也是起源于英国的一项极为奇特的运动。15世纪，高尔夫开始出现在苏格兰。这项运动要求在一片宽阔的草地上，用球杆将一个白色的小球打进18个小洞。初，喜欢高尔夫的一般都是中年男性，他们打球的目的更多是在俱乐部的第19个洞——酒吧里消磨时间。
答案：One of the oldest, and let’s face it, most bizarre sports from Britain is golf. Originating from Scotland in the 15th century, the game involves whacking a small white ball around a large field and trying to make it land in a series of eighteen tiny holes in the ground. At first, the game was only fully understood by middle-aged men, who spend considerable time at the nineteenth hole — the clubhouse bar.
78.我作为一名作家，自然地要关心在美国人口中惊人比例的实用文盲，如果他们不能读或不能理解他们所读内容，他们就不会买书或是杂志。
答案： As an author， I am naturally concerned that a surprisingly large percentage of the population of the United States is functionally illiterate; if they can‘t read or cannot understand what they read， they won’t buy books， or this magazine.
79.他们不知道那解释和点明其余部分合理的学说，那些表明似乎与其它相冲突的因素是可以协调一致的，或者应该提出两个明显有力的原因中的一个而不是另一个。
答案：They do not know those parts of the doctrine which explain and justify the remainder ; the considerations which show that a fact which seemingly conflicts with another is reconcilable with it， or that， of two apparently strong reasons， one and not the other ought to be preferred.
80.除了逻辑推理问题之外，在英国存在一种悠久的拒绝遣送违反他们意志的人们的传统，这些人们发现他们处于英国政府的掌握，而这种政府接受的本质却不确定的。
答案：Quite apart from the logistic problems， there existed a well-established tradition in Britain which refused to repatriate against their will people who found themselves in British hands and the nature of whose reception by their own government was， to say the least， dubious.
