2012年复旦成人专升本英文翻译

你能想象一个身体严重残疾的妇女独自经营一个网站并且像一个专业的 体育记者一样详细

报道洛杉矶奇队吗？如果我没有亲眼见到她蜷曲在轮椅里，

键打出她的评论，我是绝对不会相信的。我 长途驱车希望揭露一个精心策划的骗局，但是，

看着她在黑暗的棚屋里添写她的报道，< /p>

我知道我发现了一个真正的赢家。

她对棒球的热情和

她对球员的信赖使我回到了积极的态度。

Could you imagine a woman with a sever physical handicap running a website on her own and

covering

the

Los

Angles

Dodgers

as

extensively

as

a

professional

sportswriter?

I

would

never

believe it if I had not seen her with my own eyes, curled up in a wheelchair, typing her comments

by

hitting

the

key

with

a

pointer

fastened

to

her

head.

I

had

driven

a

long

way

in

hopes

of

uncovering an elaborate hoax, but watching her strain in the gloom of her shanty to add to her

story, I knew I had found a true winner. Her enthusiasm for the game and her trust in the athletes

brought me back to a positive attitude.

The e-mail was in some respects similar to other nasty letters I receive. It took me to task for my

comments on the Los Angeles Dodgers and argued that I had got everything wrong. However, the

note was different from the others in at least two ways.

This note contained more details than the usual

“

You

’

re an idiot.

”

It included vital statistics on the

team

’

s performance. It was written by someone who knew the Los Angeles Dodgers as well as I

thought I did.

And this note was signed. The writer

’

s name was Sarah Morris.

这封电子邮件在某些方面与我收到的 其他刻薄的信件相似。它痛斥我对洛杉矶道奇队的评

论，并争辩说我把一切全都搞错。然 而，这个评论与其他的评论至少有两个方面不同。

与通常那些

‘你是个白痴’的评论不同的是，

这一评论含有更多的细节。它 包含了该队比赛

表现的关键数据。写这篇评论的人对洛杉矶道奇队的了解绝不亚于我自认 为对它的了解。

而且这一评论是署名的。作者的名字叫萨拉。莫里斯。

就能力而言，我肯定他能胜任这件工作。

As far as ability is concerned, I am sure he will qualify for the job.

认为约翰会为他的失礼而向他们正式道歉，那就错了

It is wrong to assume that John will formally apologize to them for being impolite.

The old green typewriter sits in my office now, unrepaired. It is a memento, but what it recalls for

me

is

not

quite

what

it

recalled

for

Mother.

When

I

’

m

having

trouble

with

a

story

and

think

about giving up or when I start to feel sorry for myself and think things should be easier for me, I

roll a piece of paper into that cranky old machine and type, word by painful word, jus

the

way

Mother did.

What I remember then I not her failure, but her courage, the courage to go ahead.

It

’

s the best memento anyone ever gave me.

那台绿色旧打字机现在 放在我的办公室里，

至今没有修理过。

它是一件纪念品。

但它所勾起

我就入那台破旧的打字机里卷进一张纸，

像妈妈当年一样，

一个字一个字地吃力地打着。

这

时，我回忆起的不是妈妈的失败，而是她的勇气，她那一往无前的勇气。

I thought perhaps he was a little lightheaded and after giving him the prescribed capsules at eleven

o

’

clock I went out for a while. It was a bright cold day, the ground covered with a sleet that Had

frozen so that it seemed as if all the bare trees, the bushes, the cut brush and all the grass and the

bare ground had been varnished with ice, I took the young Irish setter for a walk up the road and

along a frozen creek, but it was difficult to stand or walk on the glassy surface and the red dog

slipped and slithered and I fell twice, hard, once dropping my gun and having it slide away over

the ice.

我想，或许他有点神 志不清了。十一点钟，照规定给他服药后，我便出去了一会儿。那是个

晴朗而又寒冷的日 子，地上覆盖着一层已结成冰的冻雨，就像那光秃秃的树木，那灌木丛，

那砍下的树枝，

以及所有的草坪和空地都用冰漆过似的。

我带着那条幼小的爱尔 兰猎犬，

沿

着大路和一条冰冻的小溪散步。

但在这玻璃般平滑的地面上站立和行走是很困难的。

红毛狗

一路上连跌带滑，我自己也摔倒了两次，

都是挺重的。一次猎枪也摔丢了，

在冰上滑出去老

远。
