1.合则两利,斗则俱商

张璐译文:A peaceful and harmonious biliateral relationship between these two countries will make both winners,while a confrontational one will make both losers. 2.行百里者半九十。

张璐译文:Half of the people who have embarked on a one-hundred-mile journey mayfall by the wayside.

译文直译:在百里的旅途中,有一半人会在途中放弃。

点评:fall by the wayside”在英语中是半途而废的意思,用英语中的成语来翻译中国古语,对接得很巧妙。

3.华山再高,顶有过路。

张璐译文:No matter how high the mountain is, one can alwaysascend to it's top. 译文直译:无论山有多高,我们都能登到顶峰。

点评:后半句翻译得非常好。always(一直)表现出誓要登顶的坚定信念。 4.亦余心之所向兮,虽九死其尤未悔。

张璐译文:For the ideal that I hold dear to myheart, I'd not regret at thousand timesto die. 译文直译:我遵从我内心的想法,即使要死千万次我也不会后悔。 点评:“九死”翻译成thousand times(上千次),很地道。 5.人或加讪,心无疵兮。

张璐译文:My conscience stays untaintedin spite of rumors and slanders from the outside 译文直译:我的良知纯洁没有污点,不管外界的流言飞语和造谣中伤。

点评:如果把my改成one's会更客观一些,总体来说用词非常好,把握得恰到好处。 6.兄弟虽有小忿,不废懿亲。

张璐译文:Differencesbetween brothers can not sever their bloodties. 译文直译:兄弟之间的分歧,是无法割断他们的血脉亲情的。

点评:“小忿”有愤恨的意思,在极短的时间内,能想到用differences(分歧)而不是用angry等表示愤怒的词,非常有急智,比较得体。

张璐译文:I shall dedicate myself to the interests of the country in life and death irrespective of personal will and world.
