📖 英语二真题翻译精读 | 2010年「可持续性」主题段落解析

🌱 原文段落

“Sustainability” has become a popular word these days, but to Ted Ning, the concept will always have personal meaning. Having endured a painful period of unsustainability in his own life made it clear to him that sustainability-oriented values must be expressed through everyday action and choice.

Ning recalls spending a confusing year in the late 1990s selling insurance. He’d been through the dot-com boom and burst and, desperate for a job, signed on with a Boulder agency.

It didn’t go well. “It was a really bad move because that’s not my passion,” says Ning, whose dilemma about the job translated, predictably, into a lack of sales. “I was miserable. I had so much anxiety that I would wake up in the middle of the night and stare at the ceiling. I had no money and needed the job. Everyone said, ‘Just wait, you’ll turn the corner, give it some time.’ ” 

🔍 重点解析

1. 词汇点睛

   – Sustainability（可持续性）：近年高频词，但文中强调个人层面的意义。  

   – Turn the corner（渡过难关）：习语，指情况好转。  

   – Dot-com boom and burst（互联网泡沫破裂）：90年代经济背景，暗示职业动荡。

2. 长难句拆解

   – “Having endured…action and choice.”

     – 现在分词作原因状语，主干是“made it clear”，后接that引导的宾语从句。  

     – 翻译：“因亲历过不可持续的生活困境，他明白可持续价值观需通过日常行动体现。” 

3. 情感描写

   – 通过细节（半夜惊醒盯着天花板）体现焦虑，翻译时需保留画面感。  

💡 翻译技巧总结

– 文化词处理：如“dot-com boom and burst”直译+补充说明（“互联网繁荣与萧条期”）。  

– 习语转换：“turn the corner”译为“渡过难关”更符合中文表达。  

– 情感传递：将“I was miserable”译为“痛苦不堪”而非简单“我很惨”，增强感染力。  

📌 真题启示：翻译题不仅是语言转换，更要关注背景知识+情感细节
