树叶上的残滴,映着月儿,好似荧光千点,闪闪烁烁的动着。一真没想到苦雨孤
灯之后,会有这么一幅清美的图画!凭窗站了一会儿,微微的觉得凉意侵人。转过
身来,忽然眼花缭乱,屋子里的别的东西,都隐在光云里:一片幽辉,只浸着墙上.
画中的安琪儿。——这白衣的安琪儿,抱着花儿,扬着翅儿,向着我微微的笑。

标准答案:我认为这个故事告诉我们:从某种奇妙的意义上讲,当人们缺少某些
东西时反而更加完整。一个拥有一切的人其实在某些方面是个穷人。他永远体会不
到渴望、期待以及用美好的梦想滋养灵魂是一种怎样的感觉。他也永远不会有这样
一种体验——从一个爱他的人那里获得某种梦寐以求或从未拥有过的东西。人生
的完整性在于知道如何面对自身的种种缺陷,如何勇敢地摒弃不现实的幻想且不以
此而抱憾。人生的完整性还在于学会坚强面对人生悲剧并继续生存,能够在失去亲
人后依然保持完整的自我。
知识点解析:1.第二段第一句中suggesl,此处引申译为“认为”。2.第二段第三
句中yearn指“渴望"。thedreamofsomethingbetter可译为“美好的梦想”,若直译为
“对更好事物的梦想”则显得呆板。3.第二段最后一句Hewillneverknow...never
had在翻译时可在介词of处断开,把of后面的动名词短语译为一个句子,使译文
符合“汉语多短句”的特点。4.第三段由两个并列的长句子组成,可采用顺译法。
5.第三段第一句中cometotermswith"与...达成妥协letgoof指“释放,放
开”。6.gothrough指“经历,经受7.第三段最后一句中的stillfeellikea
completeperson,可以正说正译为“仍然保持完整的自我”,也可以正说反译为“仍不
失完整的自我
