本句節(jié)選自《Attitude》

　　總結(jié)：

　　1.個人認為本句中的"真我"和"假我"中譯英時應(yīng)避免直譯

　　更為恰當(dāng)?shù)恼f法是

　　真我：be myself 或是 who I am

　　假我：not myself 或是 who I am not.

　　2.寧愿怎樣除了用 rather 還可以用 prefer

　　Perfectionists can waste just as much time as procrastinators . Thomas R. Williams，former chairman of Wachovia Corporation，discovered that many young people in banking don't know when to stop researching a project and start wrapping it up. Those trainees could have learned something from engineers，who are taught to produce the best possible solution by a certain date. 即使方案不那么完美，但他們已經(jīng)在規(guī)定的期限內(nèi)做了最大的努力。

　　單詞提示：

　　perfectionist n.十全十美主義者;procrastinator n.愛拖延的人;

　　答案： Even if a design is not perfect，they've done the best they could under deadline.

　　文中的一句名言摘錄如下：

　　Benjamin Franklin once said. "Then do not squander time，for that's the stuff life is made of. "

　　譯：本杰明·富蘭克林曾經(jīng)說過："你熱愛生命嗎?那么就不要浪費時間，因為時間是組成生命的材料。"

　　本杰明·富蘭克林(Dr. Benjamin Franklin，1706年1月17日-1790年4月17日)美國著名的政治家與科學(xué)家。他同時亦是出版商、印刷商、記者、作家、慈善家;更是杰出的外交家及發(fā)明家。他是美國革命時重要的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人之一，參與了多項重要文件的草擬，并曾出任美國駐法國大使，成功取得法國支持美國獨立。富蘭克林曾經(jīng)進行多項關(guān)於電的實驗，并且發(fā)明了避雷針。其他由他發(fā)明的事物包括有雙焦點眼鏡，蛙鞋等等。富蘭克林是共濟會的成員，被選為英國皇家學(xué)會院士。他亦是美國首任郵政總長(Postmaster General)。

　　富蘭克林的樣子為世界各地不少人所熟悉：因為他是美元鈔票中面額最高的一百美元紙幣上的人像。在美國，俚語中一百美元紙幣亦稱為「富蘭克林」。富蘭克林的畫像曾經(jīng)還在半美元硬幣、舊五十美元上出現(xiàn)。從1914年起，他便是部分百元美鈔上的人像，1928年以后每張百元美鈔上都印有他的樣子。

　　本句節(jié)選自《take Charge of Your Day》

　　總結(jié)：

　　1. 單詞 perfect表達“完美的”，前面不需要加 so 或 very 之類修飾。

　　2. under deadline 的說法還可以換成 within expected time 或是 certain time

　　有的人用了 limited time，這種說法聽起來不是很地道。

　　For beginner exercisers, mirrors can be daunting," she said.

　　Martin Ginis suggested gyms provide areas without mirrors to encourage novice exercisers."Women don't need to exercise in a gym," she said. There are other ways to get your exercise. 散步30分鐘或徒步旅行也不錯

　　單詞提示：

　　daunting adj. 令人畏懼的; novice n. 初學(xué)者

　　答案：Thirty minutes of walking, or hiking is good too.

　　本句節(jié)選自《Mirrors tarnish women's image ?》

　　總結(jié)：

　　1. 單詞 hiking 就是徒步旅行的意思，當(dāng)然 travelling on foot 的說法也是正確的。

　　2. “也不錯”的表達，可以說成：

　　It's good (or fine)

　　a good idea ( or choice)

　　題目很簡單，關(guān)鍵是表達的時候要選擇比較地道的說法。

　　Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean reconciliation with the person who upset you or condoning of his or her action.Take the control away from your offender. Mentally replaying your hurt gives power to the person who caused you pain. 與其關(guān)注自己受到的傷害，不如學(xué)著去尋找你身邊的真善美。

　　單詞提示：

　　reconciliation n. 和解; condone v. 寬恕; offender n.冒犯者

　　答案：Instead of focusing on your wounded feelings, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you.

　　本句節(jié)選自《The art of forgiveness》

　　總結(jié)：

　　1.本期關(guān)于真善美在CRI的網(wǎng)站上有這樣的解釋

　　真善美 the true, the good and the beautiful; truth, good and beauty

　　在這里要特別感謝 霧花仙娜 對原答案的糾錯。

　　原文作者的說法有點引申意義了，大家認為呢?

　　2.“關(guān)注”怎么表達呢?

　　除了focus on，還可以用concern(or care) about ,pay attention

　　I don't know how many days I have been given to spend, but I do feel my hands are getting empty. Taking stock silently, I find that more than eight thousand days have already slid away from me. Like a drop of water from the point of a needle disappearing into the ocean, 我的日子滴在時間的流里，沒有聲音也沒有影子。

　　單詞提示：

　　needle n. 針;

　　答案：my days are dripping into the stream of time, soundless, traceless.

　　本句節(jié)選自朱自清《匆匆》

　　總結(jié)：

　　1.滴落很多人用了drop into, 還有的用了flow 或是disappear

　　都不如drip into 描述的更準(zhǔn)確.

　　2.如果沒有影子 shadowless 應(yīng)該也可以吧,

　　回復(fù)中大多數(shù)人比較習(xí)慣用 no shadow, 希望我的總結(jié)可以拓寬你翻譯的思路.

　　總結(jié)：

　　從大家的答案里我發(fā)現(xiàn)大家在表達“抓住”這個意思時，用了不同的詞

　　4. snatch 較突然、迅速地“搶奪”

　　5. grab 匆忙，粗魯，自認為比較有把握的動作抓某物。
