20190515长难句
【昨日回顾】
No one, he submits, could have written it without possessing some power of reasoning. He was willing to assert that “I have a fair share of invention, and of common sense or judgment, such as every fairly successful lawyer or doctor must have, but not, I believe, in any higher degree.”
他说没有一定的推理能力,谁都写不出《物种起源》一书。他乐意这样评说自己:“我具有一定的发明能力、常识或判断力,这些也是每一个成功的律师和医生一定会有的,我不认为自己比他们高明。”
【今日长难句】
He adds humbly that perhaps he was “superior to the common run of men in noticing things which easily escape attention, and in observing them carefully.”
【结构分析】
1. 句子为多重复合句。主句主干为He adds that…其中that引导宾语从句。
2. that引导的宾语从句的主干为 he was superior to the common run of men;
3. 并列的介词短语 “in noticing things”和“in observing them carefully”在宾语从句中作状语,
4. Which引导的定语丛句修饰things,由于从句不长,可采用前置译法,译为“的”结构。
【词的处理】
add vt. 补充说,继续说,不能译作“增加”
humbly adv.谦逊地,谦卑地
common run of man 普通人,一般人; 而不是“常常跑步的人”
notice vt.注意到
escape attention 被忽视,未被注意
【参考译文】
He adds humbly that perhaps he was “superior to the common run of men in noticing things which easily escape attention, and in observing them carefully.”
他谦虚地补充道,或许他“在注意到那些别人注意不到的东西并对其进行细致的观察方面,他是优于常人的”。
【明日预告】
Writing in the last year of his life, he expressed the opinion that in two or three respects his mind had changed during the preceding twenty or thirty years.
