2017下半年翻譯考試中級口譯模擬試題（53）

　　【中譯英】

　　一天王安經(jīng)過一棵大樹時(shí)， 突然有一只小麻雀掉在地上。他決定把它帶回去喂養(yǎng)。走到家門口，突然想起媽媽不允許他在家里養(yǎng)小動(dòng)物，他悄悄地把小麻雀放在門后，急忙走進(jìn)屋去，在他的 哀求下媽媽破例答應(yīng)了兒子。

　　王安興沖沖跑到門后，不料小麻雀不見了，一只黑貓?jiān)诓潦米彀�。王安為此傷心了很久。從此，他吸取了一個(gè)很大的教訓(xùn)：只要自己認(rèn)定的事情， 決不可優(yōu)柔寡斷， 猶豫不決自然可以減少犯錯(cuò)的可能性， 但也會因此而失去成功的機(jī)遇。

　　【參考譯文】

　　One day Wang An passed under a big tree when a little sparrow fell down, so he decided to take it back home for care. At the doorstep, considering the fact that his mother would not allow keeping pets, he hid the sparrow behind the door secretly and walked in hastily. Unexpectedly, his mother yielded to his imploration.

　　Wang An rushed back in rapture, only to find the sparrow gone and a black cat rubbing its mouth. This incident clouded him for a long time, from which he drew a lesson that there’s no room for hesitation when it comes to a determined plan. Indecision may keep you away from some mistakes, but more likely from the chances of success.
