翻译学丛：一只猫的生命哲学(英文)

英语知识

很大的道理不一定需要很难的语言去 解释，

当身边的人离去时，

他们其实活在我们的心里；

生命原本是一个无所谓开始更无所谓结束的 圆圈；每一段生命

的结束都意味着新生命的开始。只要心中还有爱，有思念，我

们就可以笑对生死，珍惜人生。

一只猫的生命哲学

:The Zen of Cat

The

Man

was

very

sad.

He

knew

that

the

Cat

’

s

days

were

doctor

had

said

there

wasn

’

t

anything

more

that

could

be

done,that

he

should

take

the

Cat

home

and

make

him

as

comfortable as possible.

The man stroked the Cat on his lap and Cat opened

his eyes, purred and looked

up at the Man. A tear

rolled

down the

Man

’

s cheek and landed on the Cat

’

s Cat gave him a

slightly annoyed look.

?

Why do you cry, Man

？?

the Cat asded.

?

Because you can

’

t bear the thought of losing me

？

Because you think you can never

replace me

？?

The Man nodded

?

yes.

?

?

And where do you think I

’

ll be when I leave you

？?

the Cat

asked. The Man shrugged helplessly.

?

Close your eyes, Man,

?

the

Cat

said.

The

Man

gave

him

a

questioning

look,

but

did

as

he

was

told.

?

What color are my eyes and fur

？?

the Cat asked.

?

Your eyes

are gold and your fur is a rich, warm brown,

?

the Man replied.

?

And where is it that you most often see me

？?

asked the Cat.

?

I see you

…

on the kitchen windowsill watching the birds

…

on my

favorite

chair

…

on

my

desk

lying

on

the

papers

I

need

…

on

the

pillow next to my head at night.

?

?

Then, whenever you wish to see

me, all you must do is close your eyes,

?

said the Cat.

?

Pick

up

that

piece

of

string

from

the

floor

——

there,

my

‘

toy.

’

?

The Man opened his eyes, then reached over and picked up

the string. It was about two feet long and the Cat had been able to

entertain himself for hours with it.

?

Now take each end of the string

in one hand,

?

the Cat ordered. The Man did so.

?

The end in your left hand is my birth and the end in your right

hand is my death. Now bring the two ends together,

?

the Cat said.

The Man complied.

?

You have made a continuous circle,

?

said the cat.

?

Does any

point along the string appear to be different, worse or better than any

other part of the string

？?

The Man inspected the string and then

shook his head

?

no.

?

?

Close your eyes again,

?

the Cat said.

?

Now lick your hand.

?

The Man widened his eyes in surprise.

?

Just do it,

?

the Cat said.

?

Lick your hand,think of me in all my

familiar places, think about all the pieces of string.

?

The Man felt foolish, licking his hand, but he did as he was told.

He

discovered

what

a

cat

must

know,

that

licking

a

paw

is

very

calming and allows one to think more clearly. He continued licking

and the corners of his mouth turned upward into the first smile he

had

shown

in

days.

He

waited

for

the

Cat

to

tell

him

to

stop,and

when he didn

’

t, he opened his eyes. The Cat

’

s eyes were

Man stroked the warm, brown fur, but the Cat was gone.

The Man shut his eyes hard as the tears poured down his face.

He saw the Cat on the windowsill, then in his bed, then lying across

his important papers. He saw him on the pillow next to his head, saw

his

bright

gold

eyes

and

darkest

brown

on

his

nose

and

ears.

He

opened

his

eyes

and

through

his

tears

looked

over

at

the

circle

of

string he still held clutched in his hand.

One day, not long after, there was a new Cat on his lap. She was

a lovely calico and white

…

very different from his earlier beloved Cat

and very much the same.

作为一个会议口译译员，应该全面发展 ，不仅能搞同声传

译工作，也要能搞即席传译工作，二者缺一不可。

由于同声传译比即席传译更加容易学习和掌握（这点恐怕

同很多人的想象相反）

，

所以，

作为初 学者，

在掌握即席传译技

术以前，最好先搞一段时间的同声传译 工作。也就是说，应该

先到只使用同声传译的会议上去工作。但是，在实际工作中，

这种只使用同声传译的会议是很少的。由于工作需要，绝大多

数会议 总免不了要建立若干个委员会、工作组、起草组等附属

机构。这些机构往往在没有同声传 译设备的小会议室里开会，

这就需要进行即席传译了。遇到这种情况，所有搞同声传译工

作的译员，都可能被抽调到这些附属机构中去担任即席传译工

作 。如果某些人做不到这一点，那么他们的那份工作就要不合

理地落到他们的同事身上，给 别人增加负担。

所以，在大学的翻译系或翻译学校里，都把同 声传译和即

席传译的全面发展作为培养学生的标准，达不到这一标准，就

不能取得毕业证书。

此外，译员为了保证自己的工作 顺利进行，还必须根据自

己的兴趣爱好开展适当的业余活动，如体育运动、娱乐游戏、< /p>

从事业余研究和写作等。只有这样，他才能有健康的身体和饱

满的 精神，以胜任口译这一高度紧张的脑力劳动工作。
