ascribe,invulnerability,near immortality to our centers of attention.,人们把自己心目中的偶像皆视为,超脱病灾,，近乎不朽。,无械可击,具体译法,John Kennedy,dies,and it could not happen.,约翰,肯尼迪,遭暗杀归天,?,这是不可能的事,!,背景性增译,John Lennon,dies,and it could not happen.,约翰,列农,死于非命,?,这是不可能的事,!,具体译法,背景性增译,Elvis,and Grace Kelly,and shock after shock.,埃尔维斯和格雷斯,凯丽等人相继辞世，都使人接连不断地感到震惊。,增译法,And now this,death,of a young woman by whom the world had remained transfixed from the moment she first appeared before it,whose name contained the shadow of her end:,Princess,Di,.,现在又传来一位年轻女子,瘁死,的消息。这位女子从第一次公开亮相的那一刻起就一直令全世界瞩目。黛妃的名字隐隐约约也预示了她的归宿，,因为在英语中，黛安娜的昵称与“死亡”谐音。,语境,分译法,增译法,But who,would have believed,it,?People,thought every thought that could be thought,about Diana,but not death.,在此之前，谁会想到,她会突然离我们而去,?,人们对黛安娜有过,千般想像，万般猜测,，惟独没有想到她会死。,照应,She was,beauty,deaths antithesis.,因为,她是,国色天香,，可谓与死神天各一方。,衔接,Beauty,is given,not only a special place of honor in the world but also a kind of permanence,as if it were an example of the tendency of nature to perfect itself,and therefore something that once achieved,lives forever.,绝代佳人,不仅在世上,享有,殊荣而且还,被赋予,了某种永恒。这就好似大自然为有意要使自己完美无缺而端出来的造化物，一旦定型，万世不朽。,Her life never seemed as tragic as it was often made out-just sad,and,a little off,.,她的一生看来也从不像人们常认定的那样充满悲剧性，只是颇为伤感，,有点不尽如人意罢了。,She married the,wrong,man.Her in-laws could be vindictive.,她,错,嫁了夫君，其姻亲们可能对她也怨恨有加。,形容词变副词,For every photographer eager to capture a picture of her in one of those,astonishing,evening gowns or hats,another was skulking,in the bushes,ready to,bring her down.,她的一款款晚礼服，一顶顶靓帽都曾使她看上去如同仙女下凡一般。在这种场合，每每有摄影师急切地要摄下她的丽影。而在别的什么场合，却另有人会躲在,暗处,，手拿相机，随时准备拍她的隐私照片来,诋毁她,。,漏译，惊艳的,语境化,上下文,One cannot think of any public statement of hers,that was especially brilliant or witty.,人们根本想不起她哪次对公众讲话,显示出了她特别的才华，或是妙趣横生,修饰结构变为主述结构,更流畅,She was,more,innocent,than,clever;even her confession of,an affair,to a reporter sounded,girlish.,与其说,她聪明，,倒不如说,她天真。就连她向记者承认自己有,婚外情,的那番话，听上去也,像少女般的闹着玩。,背景性增译,If pressed,few could say exactly what it was that made her so important,especially to people outside England,except for,the fact that one could not take ones eyes off the woman.,如果一定要问,，何以使黛安娜在人们的心目中占有这么重要的地位,(,在英格兰之外情形尤其如此,)?,几乎没有人能说得清，道得明。人们,就是,觉得自己的注意力被这位女子牢牢地吸引住了，欲罢不能。,衔接,Yet,that was no small thing.Diana was someone one had to look at,and such a person comes along,once in a blue moon,.,这一点,却,是非同小可。黛安娜是一位令普天下之人都向她投去眼光的人物，而这样的人物,千载难逢,。,衔接,She had a soft heart;that was evident.She,had a knack for,helping people in distress.And all such qualifies rose in a face that everyone was,simply,pleased to see.,她有一颗仁厚之心，这是显而易见的。她还,善于,帮助处于困境之中的人们。而她所有这些品质都,一起,闪现在她那张令万众悦目的脸蛋上了,In a way,she was more royal than the royals.She had a higher station than the Queen of England;she was the,titular,young monarch of her own country and of every other place in the world.,从一定程度上说,，她比王室成员更具威仪，地位甚至超过了英国女王。,在人们的心目中，仿佛,这位年轻女子才是君主。她不仅统治着她自己的国家，还主宰着世界上的每一块地方。,社会文化语境,She was the,sentimental,favorite,figurehead,who was authorized to sign no treaties,command no armies,make no wars.,她,多情善感,，,惹人喜爱,，,有虚衔而无实权,。她无权签订任何条约，无权统领任何军队，无权发动任何战争。,All she had was the way she looked and sounded and carried herself.No,model,or,actress,could,hold a candle to her,.,她所拥有的全部便是她的音容笑貌和行为举止。任何,名模,或,影星,在她面前都会顿觉“,珠玉在侧，自惭形秽,”。,人物个性特征,hold a candle to the sun,徒劳、白费,She was the image every child has of a princess-the one who can feel the pea under the mattresses,who kisses the frog,who lets down her,hair,from the tower window.,她还是孩子们心目中公主的形象：能感觉到层层床垫下的一粒小豌豆，会亲吻青蛙王子，还会从高高的白塔楼窗口上抖落下长长的,秀发,。,词语进入语境便发生意义嬗变,译者必须熟悉西方文化,Her marriage,was gone,long before her death.As the years went on,it is likely that there would have been other romances after,Dodi,al Fayed to titillate the throngs.,她的婚姻在她离开人世之前早就,死亡,。随着岁月的流逝，她在与多迪,法伊德发生恋情之后，本来还很可能续上其他激起大众兴味的罗曼史来。,？,名存实亡,Exactly how her life would have progressed is hard to imagine.She would have continued to be a good mother and a worker for the ill and the poor;she would have been pictured from time to time at a dinner party or on a boat.,要确切地想像出她的生活原本会再如何继续演绎下去是很困难的一件事。她依然会是一位贤母，并会继续为安抚处于病痛与贫困之中的人们而工作。她在宴会厅或者游船上的倩影还会不时被人拍摄下来,In older age she might have become the Kings mother,welcomed back into the royal family at a time of life that is automatically accorded stature.,到了晚年她有可能因成为母后而被迎回王室，她获此礼遇到时也是顺理成章的事。,How would she have looked?The hair whiter,the skin a bit more lined,but the,eyes,would still have had that sweet mixture of kindness and longing.,那时她的容貌会有什么变化呢,?,她可能银丝满头，脸部平添了些许皱纹，但是她的,双眸,会依然充满柔情，透出慈祥与渴望。,By then the story of her and Charles,the,scandals,and recriminations,might have been,lost in smoke,.,到了那个时候，她与查尔斯之间的恩恩怨怨、,各自的丑闻,及相互指责可能都,烟消云散了,。,？,流言蜚语,价值判断,Yet if people now were asked how they will remember Diana,what picture among the thousands they will hold in their mind,it would not be Diana at an official ceremony,or with a boyfriend,or even with her children.,然而，如果问现在的人们：他们将如何回想起黛安娜,?,在她成千上万张玉照中，有哪一张将深深印在人们的记忆中,?,回答不会是正式礼仪场合中出现的黛安娜，也不会是与男友幽会之际的黛安娜，甚至不会是与小王子共享天伦之时的黛安娜,It would be her on the day of her wedding,when all the world was glad to be her subject and when she gave everyone who looked at her the improbable idea that life was beautiful.,而是披上婚纱那一天的黛安娜。在她成婚的时刻，全世界都曾乐意做她的臣民。也就是在那个时刻，她让每一位注视着她的人都不禁神驰遐想：生活是多么的美好,!,The End.,
