經(jīng)典英語翻譯句子賞析

1、翻譯作業(yè)好句子：1. OLIVER TWIST 霧都孤兒書名翻譯的很好，直譯讓人感到不生動。林琴南先生翻譯為賊史讓人感覺有點(diǎn)片面，不如這個名字含義深、吸引人。2.

4、s little hands before his eyes to shut out the darkness, and crouching in the corner, tried to sleep: ever and anon waking with a start and tremble, and drawing himself closer and closer to the wall, as if to feel even its cold hard surface were a protection in the gloom and loneliness which surroun

5、ded him.白天，他只知傷傷心心地哭，當(dāng)漫漫長夜來臨的時候，他總要伸出小手，捂住眼睛，想把黑暗擋在外邊，他蜷縮在角落里，竭力想進(jìn)入夢鄉(xiāng)。他不時顫栗著驚醒，身子往墻上貼得越來越緊，他仿佛感到，當(dāng)黑暗與孤獨(dú)四面襲來時，那一層冰冷堅(jiān)硬的墻面也成了一道屏障。 這段文字的翻譯很好處理了中英文的順序問題，更體現(xiàn)了Oliver被處理時悲傷、無助的感覺。6An unfinished coffin on black tressels, which stood in the middle of the shop, looked so gloomy and death-like that a cold trem

6、ble came over him, every time his eyes wandered in the direction of the dismal object: from which he almost expected to see some frightful form slowly rear its head, to drive him mad with terror.一具未完工的棺材放在黑黝黝的支架上，就在店堂中間，每當(dāng)他游移的目光無意中落到這可怕的東西上邊，看到它是那樣陰森死寂，一陣寒顫立刻傳遍全身，他差一點(diǎn)相信真的看見一個嚇人的身影從棺材里緩緩地抬起頭來，把自己嚇瘋過去

7、。 精彩的詞語讓人感到害怕還有孤獨(dú)。7Crimson with fury, Oliver started up; overthrew the chair and table; seized Noah by the throat; shook him, in the violence of his rage, till his teeth chattered in his head; and collecting his whole force into one heavy blow, felled him to the ground.憤怒使奧立弗的臉變成了深紅色，他猛地跳了起來，把桌椅掀翻在地

8、，一把卡住諾亞的脖子，拼命推搡，狂怒之下，他牙齒咬得格格直響，用盡全身氣力朝諾亞撲過去，把他打倒在地。8A minute ago, the boy had looked the quiet child, mild, dejected creature that harsh treatment had made him. But his spirit was roused at last; the cruel insult to his dead mother had set his blood on fire. His breast heaved; his attitude was erect

9、; his eye bright and vivid; his whole person changed, as he stood glaring over the cowardly tormentor who now lay crouching at his feet; and defied him with an energy he had never known before.一分鐘之前，這孩子看上去還是個沉靜、溫柔的小家伙，因備受虐待而顯得無精打采，現(xiàn)在他終于忍無可忍，諾亞對他死去的母親的惡毒誣蔑使他熱血沸騰。他直挺挺地站在那里，胸脯一起一伏，目光炯炯有神，整個形象都變了。他掃了一眼伏
