Of all the words a proud, ambitious man might use to describe himself, perhaps only Abraham Lincoln would choose strange. Yet there it is. In one of his earliest wisps of autobiography,Lincoln wrote that he was a strange, friendless, uneducated, penniless boywhen he emerged from the backwoods in his early 20s to make his way in the world.
词汇突破:
1.wisp 一小捆(一般这个单词是a wisp of hair一缕头发 )(这里结合语境理解为:片段)
2.Ambitious 具有雄心壮志的
3.Penniless 一文不名,贫穷的
4.Backwoods 偏僻的地区
5.Makeones way (前进,出人头地,打拼,谋生) 例句:That youngman will make his way in the world. (那个年轻人是会有出息的)
6.there it is 情况就是这样
7.emergedfrom 本意是出现,崛起,whenhe emerged from the backwoods结合这个语境可以翻译为:从偏僻的地区走出来的时候
句子解析:
第一句:
句子主干:perhapsonly Abraham Lincoln would choose strange.
状语:of all the words a proud, ambitious man might use to describe himself 定语从句
参考译文: 初译:在骄傲的和具有雄心的人会用来描述自己的单词中,可能只有林肯会选择奇怪这个词汇。
这样翻译的明显不通顺;可以把定语从句单独成句:
一个骄傲的且具有雄心的人会用各种词来描述自己,但可能只有亚布拉罕.林肯会从这些词汇中选择奇怪这个词。
第二句: Yet there it is. 近乎于固定用法;(但是,情况确实是这样的) 提示:这里的yet从语境来看应该表示递进;
第三句:
主干:Lincoln wrote that he was astrange, friendless, uneducated, penniless boy
状语:when heemerged from the backwoods in his early 20s to make his way in the world.
状语:In one of his earliest wisps of autobiography
参考译文:在他早期自传的一些片段中,他这样写道:我是一个奇怪的,没有朋友的(无依无靠),没有受过教育的穷小子。那个时候,他20出头刚从偏远地方出来打拼。
