英译汉长句的处理 There is nothing more disappointing to a hostess who has gone to a lot of trouble or expense than to have her guest so interested in talking politics or business with her husband that he fails to notice the flavor of the coffee, the lightness of cake, or the attractiveness of the house, which may be her chief interest and pride. 最令女主人失望的是， 她花了许多心神或费用来招待客人，可是这位客人只是津津有味地与她的丈夫谈政治、谈生意，丝毫也没有注意到咖啡的浓香、糕点的松软或者房间内讲究的陈设，而这些却可能是她最感兴趣、最为自豪的东西。（顺） I know this river as one family knows a friend, know it when it is black, guarding all the lights of Paris in its depths, and seeming, in its vast silence, to be communing with the dead who lie beneath it; when it is yellow, evil, and roaring, giving a rough time to tugboats and barges, and causing people to remember that it has been known to rise, it has been know to kill; when it is peaceful, a slick, dark, dirty green, playing host to rowboats and les bateaux mouches and throwing up from time to time an extremely unhealthy fish. 我熟悉这条河就像一个家庭熟悉自己的亲朋好友一样。我见过它通身墨黑，在波心深处守护着闪烁摇曳的巴黎万家灯火。在一片深沉静谧之中，好像在跟河床下面安眠的死者亲密絮语；我见过它掀起黄浊凶险的波涛，咆哮翻滚，河面上的拖船和驳船颠簸摇荡，使人们不由得想起河水涨溢时淹死人畜的惨状，我见过它水波不兴、平缓舒展，混浊发绿，也招引几只划艇和游船，尽主人之谊呢。不时河面上和还会浮起一条条腥臭的鱼。（顺） From radio-active water and soil around a nuclear-weapons plant in Colorado to man-made deserts in Soviet Central Asia, the world is peppered with examples of what poor education or unneighborly attitudes can do to the planet that must feed and clothe us all. 如果人们受教育不够或不能善待环境，他们就会对人类赖以生存的这个星球做出些什么事来呢？全世界到处都有这样的例子：从科罗拉多州核武器工厂周围辐射活跃的水土到原苏联中亚地区的人为沙漠。（逆） He was puzzled that I didnt want what was obviously a “step” toward what all Americans are taught to want when they grow up: money and power. 所有美国人受的教育都是要在长大成人后去追求金钱和权力，而我却放着明摆着的“阶梯”不上，他对此大惑不解。 （逆） Neither she nor he entered the house since that drizzly November day forty-seven years ago when the movers had cleaned out their furniture, damaging the cane-backed sofa and breaking two plates of Philadelphia blueware in the process. 47年来，她和他再也没有踏进那所房子一步。那年11月的一天，细雨蒙
