2012 年 11 月翻译资格考试三级英语笔译实务真题及答案

Section 1 English-Chinese Translation (英译汉) (60 points)

Translate the following passage into Chinese. The time for this section is 120

minutes.

FOR MORE than 30 years, I have been wondering about L.R. Generson. On one of our

first Christmases together, my husband gave me a complete set of Dickens. There

were 20 volumes, bound in gray cloth with black corners, old but in good

condition. Stamped on the flyleaf of each volume, in faded block letters, was the

name of the previous owner: “L.R. Generson, M.D., Bronx, NY.”

That Dickens set is one of the best presents anyone has ever given me. A couple of

the books are still pristine, but others - “Bleak House,’’ “David

Copperfield,’’ and especially “Great Expectations’’ - have been read and re-

read almost to pieces. Over the years, Pip and Estella and Magwitch have kept me

company. So have Lady Dedlock, Steerforth and Peggotty, the Cratchits and the

Pecksniffs and the Veneerings. And so, in his silent enigmatic way, has L.R.

Generson.

Did he love the books as much as I do? Who was he? On a whim, I Googled him. There

wasn’t much - a single mention on a veterans’ website of a World War II captain

named Leonard Generson. But I did find a Dr. Richard Generson, an oral surgeon

living in New Jersey. Since Generson is not a common name, I decided to write to

him.

Dr. Generson was kind enough to write back. He told me that his father, Leonard

Richard Generson, was born in 1909. He lived in New York City but went to medical

school in Basel, Switzerland. He spoke 10 languages fluently. As an obstetrician

and gynecologist, he opened a practice in the Bronx shortly before World War II.

His son described him as “an extremely patriotic individual’’; right after

Pearl Harbor he closed his practice and enlisted. He served throughout the war as

a general surgeon with an airborne special forces unit in Europe, where he became

one of the war’s most highly decorated physicians.

The list of his decorations reflects his ordeals and his courage: multiple Purple

Hearts, the Bronze Star with “V’’ for valor, the Silver Star, and also the

Cross of War, an extremely high honor from the government of France. After the

war, he remained in the Army Reserve and attained the rank of full colonel, while

also continuing his medical practice in New York. “He was a very dedicated

physician who had a large patient following,’’ his son wrote.

Leonard Generson’s son didn’t remember the Dickens set, though he told me that

there were always a lot of novels in the house. His mother probably “cleaned

house’’ after his father’s death in 1977 - the same year my husband bought the

set in a used book store.

I found this letter very moving, with its brief portrait of an intelligent, brave

man and his life of service. At the same time, it made me question my presumption

that somehow L.R. Generson and I were connected because we’d owned the same set

of books. The letter both told me a little about him, and told me that I would

never really know anything about him - and why should I? His son must have been

startled to hear from a stranger on such a fragile pretext. What had I been

thinking?

One possible, and only somewhat facetious, answer is that I’ve read too much

Dickens. In the world of a Dickens novel, everything is connected to everything

else. Orphans find families. Lovers are joined (or parted and morally

strengthened). Ancient mysteries are solved and old scores are settled. Questions

are answered. Stories end.

Dickens’s cluttered network of connected lives brilliantly exaggerates something

that is true of all of us. We want to impose order through telling stories, maybe

because there is so much we don’t know about our own stories and the stories of

those around us.

Leonard Generson’s life touched mine only lightly, through the coincidence of a

set of books. But there are other lives he touched more deeply. The next time I

read a Dickens novel, I will think of him and his military service and his 10

languages. And I will think of the hundreds of babies he must have delivered, who

are now in the middle of their own lives and their own stories.

参考译文：

英译汉:

三十多年来，我一直在思考着L. R. 杰内森究竟是何许人。在我和丈夫一起度过的最初的几次

圣诞节中，有一次他送给我了一整套狄更斯的作品。这些书有二十卷，用一块黑色边角的灰布

包裹着，这些书尽管有些旧了但保存完好。每一卷的扉页上，都有模糊的大写字母，显示着它

们之前的主人的信息：“L. R. 杰内森, 医学博士，布朗克斯，纽约。”

这套狄更斯的作品是我收到的最好的礼物之一。有些书现在还很新，但是一些书像《荒凉山庄》

《大卫-科波菲尔》，尤其是《远大前程》，由于多次的反复阅读书已几乎变成散页了。多年来书

中的人物一直萦绕在我身边，L. R. 杰内森也以沉默而神秘的方式陪伴着我。
