Abstract

Essays always have “beautiful article” sayin

g, with elegant language and various

words.

An

essay

also

has

the

character

of

a

consistent

theme

but

scattered

form.

Therefore, in the process of translation, difficulties encountered more and used more

translations

skills

as

well

as

translation

theory.

In

addition,

the

differences

between

Chinese

and

English

also

increased

the

difficulties.

In

order

to

better

master

the

translation

theory

and

skills,

improve

the

translation

level.

This

paper

bases

on

the

review of the methods of self-revision, through the translation on different points of

view,

the

comparison

between

Chinese

and

Western

culture,

and

combination

with

other people’s version to correct the translation defect in this version.

朱自清

我与父亲不相见已二年余了，我最不能忘记的是他的背影。

那年冬天，祖母死了，父亲的差使也交卸了，正是祸不 单行的日子，我

从北京到徐州，

打算跟着父亲奔丧回家。

到徐州见着父亲，

看见满院狼藉的东西，

又想 起祖母，不禁簌簌地流下眼泪。父亲说，

“

事已如此，不必难过 ，好在天无

绝人之路！

”

回家变卖典质，父亲还了亏空；又借钱办了丧事。这些 日子，家中光景很

是惨淡，一半为了丧事，一半为了父亲赋闲。丧事完毕，父亲要到南京 谋事，我

也要回到北京念书，我们便同行。

到南京时，有朋友约去游逛， 勾留了一日；第二日上午便须渡江到浦口，

下午上车北去。父亲因为事忙，

本已说定不送我，

叫旅馆里一个熟识的茶房陪我

同去 。他再三嘱咐茶房，甚是仔细。但他终于不放心，怕茶房不妥贴；颇踌躇了

一会。其实我 那年已二十岁，北京已来往过两三次，是没有甚么要紧的了。他踌

躇了一会，终于决定还 是自己送我去。我两三回劝他不必去；他只说，

“

不要紧，

他们去不好！

”

我们过了江，进了车站。我买票，他忙着照看行李。行李太多了，得向脚夫

行些小费， 才可过去。他便又忙着和他们讲价钱。我那时真是聪明过分，总觉他

说话不大漂亮，非自 己插嘴不可。但他终于讲定了价钱；就送我上车。他给我拣

定了靠车门的一张椅子；我将 他给我做的紫毛大衣铺好坐位。他嘱我路上小心，

夜里要警醒些，不要受凉。又嘱托茶房 好好照应我。我心里暗笑他的迂；他们只

认得钱，

托他们直是白 托！

而且我这样大年纪的人，

难道还不能料理自己么？唉，

我现在想想，那时真是太聪明了！

My Father

’

s Back

I

haven

’

t

seen my

father for more than two

years, what

I

can not

forget

is

his

back.

That

winter,

my

grandmother

died,

and

my

father

lost

job.

These

days,

misfortunes never came singly. From Beijing to

Xuzhou, I intended to

go home for

the funeral with him. I met father in Xuzhou, and seeing the house disorderly mess.

Thinking of grandmother, I couldn

’

t help tearing. Father said

“

As matters have been

taken place, you no need to be so sad, and mot all the things go into blind alley.

”

At

home,

father

sold

the

entire

mortgage

and

he

was

red.

And

he

borrowed

money

to

conduct

a

funeral.

These

days,

the

situation

of

home

was

very

bleak,

because

of

the

funeral

and

my

father

’

s

unemployment.

After

the

funeral,

my

father

would go to Nanjing for job and I returned to Beijing to study, then we went together.

When I arrived at Nanjing, a friend called me to go sight-seeing, so I stayed there

for a day. The second day in the

morning, I had to cross the Yangtze to Pukou and

took a train to Beijing in the afternoon. Because father was busy, he had decided not

to see me off, so he asked a familiar hotel waiter to accompany with me. He told the

waiter

carefully

again

and

again.

However,

he

was

still

worried

and

afraid

of

the

waiter

’

s

service

didn

’

t

fit.

In

face,

I

was

already

twenty

that

year,

having

been

to

Beijing for two ore three times. He hesitated for a while, finally he decided to see me

off

himself.

I

persuaded

him

not

to

go

twice

or

three

times,

but

he

only

said,“

It

doesn

’

t matter. It isn

’

t good for them to go.

”

We crossed the river, and entered into the station. I bought a ticket, father was

busy looking after the luggage. As there was

too

much luggage, we needed to

give

some

tips

to

porters

so

that

we

could

pass.

Father

was

busy

bargaining

with

them

again. I was really over smart at the time, and felt that he spoke was not beautiful, so I

interrupted their talking. He finally fixed the price, and sent me on the train, He chose

a seat near the door for me. I spread the purple wool coat which he made for me on

the

seat.

He

told

me

to

be

careful

on

the

way,

especially

at

night

should

be

a

light

sleeper,

and

not

to

catch

a

cold.

He

also

asked

the

train

man

to

take

care

of

me.

I

laughed his pedantry in my heart.

Those people

only knew money, requesting them

was in rain. And in my age, couldn

’

t I care of myself? Well, now I think I was very

clever at that time.
