参考答案

正确答案：Smiling she rotated the magazine again and said "If there"s no shot I"ll be your wife." With this she raised the small revolver again. Her hand a little shaky she aimed at him for a long time but suddenly put down her gun in dejection. "I won"t accept what fate decides anymore" she finally said. "I only beg you not to be a bandit anymore and to start a new life with me."He was stunned staring at her blankly as if making up a dream."You were born with a bad life but I"m willing to be your wife and suffer with vou." she said tears mysteriously welling up her eyes.Perplexed he walked overr picked up his gun for a look and was dumbfounded."I rotated it two times but each time the bullet landed at the breech." she cried. "At that moment I really wanted to kill you but when I thought of your miserable life I felt a little sorry for you. You don"t know but I also have had a bad life."
本篇节选自著名小小说高手孙方友先生的《女票》，文字简洁、跌宕起伏。《女票》属于传奇小说，翻译时须兼顾风格，文中出现不少地道的口语，翻译时，须注意句子的分合。弹槽滚儿……枪管……：此处出现了对应的英语单词本身比较常见，但使用了其较为生僻的意思。分别译为“magazine”、“breech”。俺不认命……你命不好……可一想你命这般苦……俺也是个苦命的人啊……：短短一段文字，出现了四次“命”，带有浓厚的中国文化特色。因为英语中没有相应的词语和相同的文化概念，故只能采用释译的方法，单独处理。“俺不认命”译为“Iwon’tacceptwhatfatedecidesanymore．”，“你命不好”译为“Youwerebornwithabadlife．”，“可一想你命这般苦”译为“whenIthoughtofyourmiserablelife”，“俺也是个苦命的人啊”译为“Ialsohavehadabadlife．”。呆呆地：这里表示“出神地”、“茫然地”、“毫无表情地”，故译为“blankly”。她不知为什么眼里就闪出了泪花儿：地道的英语表达习惯多用物作主语，原文中的“为什么”可以理解为“神秘地”、“不知道原因地”，故整句可译为“tearsmysteriouslywellinguphereyes”。
