经典翻译欣赏 ——（二）段落1; 赏析：原文共四句话，三个祈使句加一个陈述句。前两个祈使句，被译成了两个结构相同、字数一样的祈使句，形成排比，干净而有力。第三个祈使句，译者将其拆译成两个小句，要怎么怎么，不要怎么怎么，形成强烈的对比，语气不容置疑。译文与原文不仅神似，而且形似。本来优胜劣败已经能够表达the success of the best by means of force的主要意思，译者仍加上了一个弱肉强食，是为了句子节奏的和谐，更是为了突出、强调说话人的观点。;2. On one of those sober and rather melancholy days in the latter part of autumn, when the shadows of morning and evening almost mingle together, and throw a gloom over the decline of the year, I passed several hours in rambling about Westminster Abbey. There was something congenial to the season in the moumful magnificence of the old pile; and, as I passed its threshold, it seemed like stepping back into the regions of antiquity, and losing myself among the shades of former ages. (Washington Irving: “The Westminster Abbey’’);赏析：原文选自华盛顿-欧文的《威敏寺教堂》，文章古雅，节奏较缓，给人一种从容不迫的感觉，是欧文式散文的典型代表。为了传达原文这种古雅的风格，译者有意识地选用了较多的四字词组以及某些较古朴、典雅的表达方式，如时方晚秋、岁云将暮、森森然似有鬼气等，尤其是相忘于古人的鬼影之中给人以丰富的文化联想（《庄子》有泉涸鱼相与处于陆，相啕以湿，相濡以沫，不如相忘于江湖），巧妙地再现了原文的意境。;3. How very lovable her face was to him. Yet there was nothing ethereal about it: all was real vitality, real warmth, real incamation. And it was in her mouth that this culminated. Eyes almost as deep and speaking he had seen before, and cheeks perhaps as fair; brows as arched, a chin and throat almost as shapely; her mouth he had seen nothing to equal on the face of the earth. To a young man with the least fire in him that little upward lift in the middle of her red top lip was distracting, infatuating, maddening. He had never before seen a womans lips and teeth which forced upon his mind, with such persistent iteration, the old Elizabethan simile of roses filled with snow. Perfect, he, as a lover, might have called them off-hand. But no: they were not perfect. And it was the touch of the imperfect upon the would-be perfect that gave the sweetness, because it was that which gave the humanity．;译文：在他看来，她的脸太可爱了。但是那上面，却一点儿没有虚无缥缈、离群遗世的情态，而全都是实在的生气，实在的温暖，实在的血肉。到了她那张嘴，她的可爱才算到了最高点。像她邪样深不见底、顾盼欲语的眼睛，他从前见过；像她那样红白分明、鲜艳妍丽的脸蛋儿，
