2017翻譯資格考試筆譯高級英譯漢精選（十五）

　　Everyone has got two personalities-the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real. You don’t show your secret personality when you’re awake because you can control your behavior, but when you’re asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, people frequently change their position. The important position is the one that you go to sleep in.

　　If you go to sleep on your back, you’re a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by fashion or new ideas. You don’t like to upset people, so you never express your real feelings. You’re quite shy and you aren’t very confident.

　　If you sleep on your stomach, you are a rather secretive person. You worry a lot and you’re always easily upset. You’re very stubborn, but you aren’t very ambitious. You usually live for today not tomorrow. This means that you enjoy having a good time.

　　If you sleep curled up you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and so you’re often defensive. You’re shy and you don’t normally like meeting people. You prefer to be on your own. You’re easily hurt.

　　If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balanced personality. You know your strengths and weaknesses. You’re usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel anxious, but you don’t often get depressed. You always say what you think even if it annoys people.

　　【參考譯文】

　　每個(gè)人的性格都具有雙重性--向外界顯示的一面，還有真實(shí)卻深藏不露的一面。在你清醒的時(shí)候，你不會(huì)表露出你秘密的一面，因?yàn)槟隳芸刂谱约旱男袨?可在你人睡的時(shí)候，你睡覺的姿勢會(huì)展示真實(shí)的你。正常情況下，人們在夜里會(huì)不斷改變姿勢。重要的是你入睡時(shí)的姿勢。

　　如果你是仰臥著入睡的，說明你是個(gè)心胸開闊的人。你一般信任他人，容易受時(shí)尚和新思想的影響。你不喜歡得罪人，所以你從不表露自己的真實(shí)感情。你很害羞，不夠自信。

　　如果你俯臥睡覺，說明你比較含蓄。你常憂心忡忡，且容易煩惱。你很固執(zhí)，卻沒有多大抱負(fù)。你一般是今朝有酒今朝醉。也就是說，你喜歡玩得快樂。

　　如果你睡覺時(shí)蜷縮著身體，那你可能是一個(gè)神經(jīng)緊張的人。你自我感覺不好，所以常常謹(jǐn)小慎微。你還比較害羞，一般不喜歡與人打交道。你更喜歡一人獨(dú)處。你容易受傷害。

　　如果你是側(cè)臥著睡覺的，說明你的性格比較穩(wěn)健。你了解自己的優(yōu)點(diǎn)和缺點(diǎn)。你處事比較謹(jǐn)慎。你很自信。你有時(shí)會(huì)感到焦急不安，但不會(huì)輕易愁苦。你總是直言快語，不怕得罪人。
