高考英语阅读理解含译文翻译 男人四十

高考英语阅读理解含译文翻译男人四十男人四十一朵花ManinHisFortiesIsaFlowerinBloom题目解析：题目出自文中第一句引用的俗语“男人四十一朵花，女人四十豆腐渣”，就是说男人四十多岁正是有魅力的时候，而女人却失去了年轻女子的妩媚。译为Maninhisfortiesisaflowerinbloom，四十岁的男人就是一朵盛开的花。全篇围绕男人四十岁展开行文。俗话说：“男人四十一朵花，女人四十豆腐渣”，此话虽然俗了点，却说明四十岁的男人，确有其不可否认的魅力。Thereisacommonsaying:“Maninhisfortiesisaflowerinbloom,butwomanissoybeanresidue.”Abitvulgarthissayingmaybe,butitdoestellussuchafactthatmaninhisfortiesreallypossessesundeniablefascination.residue

noun.asmallamountofsththatremainsattheendofaprocess·剩余物；残留物；残渣：pesticideresiduesinfruitandvegetables残留在水果和蔬菜中的杀虫剂vulgar

adj.nothavingorshowinggoodtaste;notpolite,elegantorwellbehaved·庸俗的；粗俗的；粗野的；不雅的avulgarman粗俗的男人fascination

noun[C,usuallysing.]·averystrongattraction,thatmakessthveryinteresting·魅力；极大的吸引力：Waterholdsafascinationformostchildren.水对多数孩子都有极大的吸引力。俗话说→Thereisacommonsaying...（的确）说明→itdoestellussuchafactthat...“有其不可否认的魅力”我们在此用了“possessesundeniablefascination”，fascination一词我们在《过节》那篇中也有用到，“最有乐趣的节日莫过于...”→nootherfestivalsheldgreaterfascinationformethan...。事业上，四十岁的男人具备年轻小伙子不具备的成熟与沉稳。年轻小伙子虽然满腔热枕，但勇猛有余稳重不足，犹如童子学书易犯“学而不思则罔”的错误。Inhiscareer,amanathisagepossessesthematurityandsteadinessthatayoungladlacks.Enthusiasticandwarm-heartedasaladmaybe,heismorebravethansteady.Justlikeaschoolchild,heislikelytomakethemistake“Learningwithoutthoughtislaborlost.”lad

noun[C](old-fashionedorinformal,BrE)·aboyoryoungman·男孩儿；少年；男青年；小伙子：ThingshavechangedsinceIwasalad.从我幼时至今，一切都发生了变化。满腔热忱Enthusiasticandwarm-hearted，此处注意使用as表尽管引导让步状语从句，句子倒装。而且在汉译英的时候也不要看到“尽管/虽然”就马上用although/though。勇猛有余稳重不足→bemorebravethansteady。这样我们就学会了如何表达“...有余而...不足”，用简单的more...than...结构，注意省略部分是形容词。学而不思则罔→只是学习而不去思考就会迷惘而无所得，就是白白损耗了劳动Learningwithoutthoughtislaborlost.童子学书→这里不是一个动词表明童子学书这个状态，表示的是一个学书的童子，此处译为aschoolchild集朝气与成熟于一身的中年男子，稳重不乏热情，睿智不乏干劲，经验丰富好学上进。Onthecontrary,beinganadultman,whopossessesbothvigorandmaturity,heissteadyyetfullofzeal;wiseandfar-sighted,yetstillvigorousinhiswork.Manatthisstageisrichinexperienceandfondoflearningandmakingprogress.Onthecontrary是逻辑关系衔接词，汉译英时添加适当的逻辑关系衔接词使译文更加紧凑，逻辑一目了然。稳重不乏热情→possessesbothvigorandmaturity,heissteadyyetfullofzeal睿智不乏干劲→wiseandfar-sighted,yetstillvigorousinhiswork经验丰富→richinexperience好学上进→fondoflearningandmakingprogress人到中年，身材也由年轻时的单薄而变得雄壮、魁梧、结实，以至对于天生柔弱的女性来说简直就是天赐的最安全的避风港，靠上去是那么踏实，被拥着是那么温暖。Thestatureofamiddle-agedmanisnolongerasweakorthinasthatofayoungman.Heiswell-built,sothattothosewomenborndelicate,heissimplythesafestharborbestowedbyGod,whoisverysteadyandsuretoleanon,warmandcomfortabletohugtightly.“身材”此处用了stature这个词，也常常用来表示“身份、地位、”stature

noun[U,C]~(ofsb/sth)·anexpressionofverystrongdisapproval·谴责；指责：Therewaswidespreadcondemnationoftheinvasion.那次侵略遭到了人们普遍的谴责。男人的天性决定了他朝秦暮楚的个性，逢场作戏是常事，如若以此当真则是另一码事。因而四十岁的男人最受女人爱恋，也最易遭女人痛恨。当女人小心翼翼地去呵护它时，才发现自己的心最易受到伤害。Quicktoswitchsidesandjoininthefunonoccasionareadultman’snature.Therefore,tothem,playingwithloveisacommonoccurrence.Ifitistakenseriously,that’squiteanothermatter.Thatiswhymaninhisfortiesismoreinclinedtoattractwomen’seyesandiseasilyhatedbythemaswell.Whenawomaniscautiouslyprotectingherlove,shefindsthatherdevotedheartisfrequentlyoffended.朝秦暮楚→也是一个典故词语，意思是指战国时期，秦楚两个诸侯大国相互对立，经常作战，有的诸侯小国为了自身的利益与安全，时而倾向,时而倾向楚，比喻人反复无常。此处意译为了Quicktoswitchsidesandjoininthefunonoccasion。此处的“逢场作戏”指男人对待爱轻浮的态度，理解为我们常说的玩弄感情：playwithlove常事→平常事commonoccurrence男人四十一朵花，远远地欣赏一下足矣！Maninhisfortiesisaflowerinbloom.Awomancanonlyenjoyitbysatisfyingheradmirationfromadistanceaway.That’squit
