【Step 3】翻译
➀Unhappy parents rarely are provoked to wonder[if they shouldn’t have had kids], ➁but unhappy childless folks are bothered with the message [that children are the single most important thing in the world]: ➂obviously their misery must be a direct result of the gaping baby-size holes in their lives.句➀：Unhappy parents rarely are provoked to wonder [if they shouldn’t have had kids]翻译：不开心的父母很少被激起想知道是否他们本不该要孩子。改译：不幸福的父母很少去思考“是否自身本不该要孩子”这个问题。翻译解释：1.本句涉及被动的翻译，根据英译汉“尽量不用‘被’原则”，在理解句意的基础上，把“被”字处理掉；2.unhappy——译为“不幸福的”更合适；3.shouldn't have done sth译为“本不该做某事”。句➁：but unhappy childless folks are bothered with the message [that children are the single most important thing in the world]翻译：但不幸福的无子女者却被这样的信息烦扰着，即孩子是世界上唯一最重要的东西。改译：但不幸福的无子女者会不断为“孩子是世界上唯一最重要的东西”这一信息所烦扰着。翻译解释：1.本句涉及被动的翻译，根据英译汉“尽量不用‘被’原则”，在理解句意的基础上，此处采用的方法是利用“被”的替代词“为...所”；2.本句涉及同位语从句的翻译，一开始为准确理解句意，将其单独成句，但经过处理，其与主句翻译到一起时，句子也不长，所以也ok——此处采用的方法是：先译同位语从句，后用“这、此、那”等加被解释说明的名词message。句➂：obviously their miserymust bea direct result of the gaping baby-size holes in their lives.翻译：显然，他们的痛苦必定是他们人生中那些豁开的、孩子大小的窟窿所带来的直接后果。改译：显然，他们的痛苦必定是人生中没有孩子的缺憾直接带来的。翻译解释：1.初译没有任何问题，只是表达有些啰嗦，所以在翻译时要确保译文准确且凝练，使译文更具可读性。3.整合译文：不幸福的父母很少去思考“是否自身本不该要孩子”这个问题；但不幸福的无子女者会不断为“孩子是世界上唯一最重要的东西”这一信息所烦扰着：显然，他们的痛苦必定是人生中没有孩子的缺憾直接带来的。本句就这样啦 没啥润色滴👀词汇整理HELLO, GRADUATE STUDENT
