譯題一：Six amazing hybrid animals

Ligers, tigons and grolar bears, oh my! Take a look at some of these otherworldly hybrid animals and you'll realize the possibilities are endless.

Though they rarely occur in nature, individuals from different but closely related species do occasionally mate, and the result is a biological hybrid - an offspring that shares traits from both parent species. You may have heard of the mysterious sheep-pig creature, but it turns out that one isn't a true hybrid.

Here are six bizarre, but truly unique half-breeds.

第一段文字比較容易，大家翻譯得也還不錯，只是中文表達欠缺一點。Otherworldly這個字似乎不太容易把握。有的人翻譯成“非同一般”，有的人翻譯成“超俗”，還有的人翻譯成“天外來客”，都不夠準確?？醋值洌@個字的意思主要是“來世的”、“非現實世界的”，但在翻譯時直接用釋義讀起來不夠順暢。網友emilyw73 的版本最值得推崇，處理為“天外來客”十分巧妙。不少朋友把“the possibilities are endless”翻譯成“沒有什麼是不可能的”很好?！癟hough they rarely occur in nature”翻譯成“盡管這種事情在自然界很少發生”為好。a biological hybrid中的hybrid在遺傳學中的解釋應該是“ 雜種”，即“基因相異的父母或牲畜所繁衍的后代”。最后一句可以翻譯成：“以下就是這六種奇異的，卻真正獨一無二的雜交物種”。

譯題二：Desire and curiosity

It is in virtue of his own desires and curiosities that any man continues to exist with even patience, that he is charmed by the look of things and people, and that he wakens every morning with a renewed appetite for work and pleasure. Desire and curiosity are the two eyes through which he sees the world in the most enchanted colors: it is they that make women beautiful or fossils interesting: and the man may squander his estate and come to beggary, but if he keeps these two amulets he is still rich in the possibilities of pleasure.

第二段大家翻譯得五花八門。從總體上看，我覺得下面這位朋友翻譯得比較完美：

人們之所以有持久的耐心生存下去是因為他們的愿望與好奇心，由于這兩樣，人們對于世上的一切（人和物）總是興致勃勃，每天早上醒來的時候便重新充滿了對工作的熱情和對快樂的渴求。愿望與好奇是人們用來觀察世界的一雙眼睛：它們使世界變得絢麗多彩，女人顯得嫵媚動人，化石也變得妙趣橫生；一個人可能傾家蕩產，淪為乞丐，然而，只要他沒有失去愿望與好奇心這兩樣寶貝，他仍將可以擁有許多的快樂。

不足之處是“化石也變得妙趣橫生”翻譯得不好?！稘h語詞典》對“妙趣橫生”的解釋是：“洋溢著美妙意味，多指語言、文章或美術品。”因此用它來修飾“化石”是不對的。其實翻譯成“化石也變得有趣”就可以了。這位譯者可能為了和前面的“嫵媚動人”相對應，后面用了個“妙趣橫生”。這種追求文字表面上華美的做法是不足取的。翻譯的第一個功能當然是正確地傳達出原文的意思，而不是表現譯者自己的文字能力。

譯題三：Never sell your soul

The question for all of you today is: how will you define what you make of yourself?

To me, what you make of yourself is actually two questions. There's the "you" that people see on the outside. And that's how most people will judge you, because it's all they can see what you become in life, whether you were made President of this, or CEO of that, the visible you.

But then, there's the invisible you, the "you" on the inside. That's the person that only you and God can see. For 25 years, when people have asked me for career advice, what I always tell them is don't give up what you have inside. Never sell your soul. Because no one can ever pay you back.

第三段問題也不大。“how will you define what you make of yourself?” 這句話不難理解，但翻譯起來卻不那么容易。我覺得吃透上下文之后，照意思翻譯成“如何給你自己下定義”就可以了。有了這個“前提”，后面的話就好譯了。比如“There's the ‘you’ that people see on the outside.…… the visible you.”

可以翻譯成“人們表面上看到的你……有形的你?！薄?the invisible you, the ‘you’ on the inside.”翻譯成“無形的你，即外在的你。” 把“ Never sell your soul. Because no one can ever pay you back.”翻譯成“永遠不要出賣自己的靈魂。因為沒人會給你回報。”

另外，大部分朋友把President翻譯成“總統”，我覺得不如翻譯成“總裁”好。以上意見未必都對，僅供大家參考。

以上看法供大家參考。
