2017年英語四級翻譯考試模擬題:一日工作
請將下面這段話翻譯成英文:
他的工作日從早飯之前就在辦公室開始了,然后讀報紙,簽署文件,會見部長。用過簡單的午飯后他可能騎馬出去,或駕馬車與夫人一起出去,也許去一個士兵醫(yī)院,或一個軍營。晚飯后他可能會回到辦公室再工作三個小時,或者披上一條灰色的長圍巾,不帶衛(wèi)兵獨自出去散步,到作戰(zhàn)部去看看有什么電報,回到家時通常是午夜了。
參考翻譯:
His working day started in his office before breakfast and was followed by reading papers, signing documents and seeing ministers, After a light lunch, he might ride, or drive with his wife, perhaps visiting a soldiers’ hospital or a camp. After supper he might return for another three hours in his office or walk along without a guard with a long grey shawl round his shoulders, to see what telegrams were coming in to the War Department, returning home around midnight.
