2019年上半年catti初級(jí)筆譯模擬試題：全心的奉獻(xiàn)　

     漢譯英

　　正文

　　全心的奉獻(xiàn)

　　土地先屬于我們，我們才屬于土地。

　　她成為我們的土地歷一百余年，

　　我們才成為她的人民。當(dāng)時(shí)

　　她屬于我們，在麻薩諸塞，在佛吉尼亞，

　　但我們屬于英國(guó)，仍是殖民之身，

　　我們擁有的，我們?nèi)阅�不關(guān)心，

　　我們關(guān)心的，我們已不再擁有。

　　我們保留的一些什么使自己貧弱，

　　直到我們發(fā)現(xiàn)，原來(lái)是我們自己，

　　保留著，不肯給自己生息之地，

　　立刻，在獻(xiàn)身之中找到了生機(jī)。

　　赤裸裸地，我們?nèi)�心將自己奉獻(xiàn)，

　　(獻(xiàn)身的事跡是多次的戰(zhàn)跡)

　　獻(xiàn)身與斯土，斯土正渾淪拓展，向西，

　　但迄未經(jīng)人述說(shuō)，樸實(shí)無(wú)華，未加渲染。

　　當(dāng)時(shí)她如此，且預(yù)示她仍將如是。

　　參考譯文

　　The Gift Outright

　　The land was once ours before we were the land’s.

　　She was our land more than a hundred years.

　　Before we were her people. She was ours

　　In Massachusetts, in Virginia;

　　But we were England’s, still colonials,

　　Possessing what we still were unpossessed by,

　　Possessed by what we now no more possessed.

　　Something we were withholding made us weak

　　Until we found out that it was ourselves

　　We were withholding from our land of living,

　　And forthwith found salvation in surrender.

　　Such as we were we gave ourselves outright

　　(The deed of gift was many deeds of war)

　　To the land vaguely realizing westward,

　　But still unstoried, artless, unenhanced,

　　Such as she was, such as she would become.
