简介原文 His sorrow was loud and long. 原译: 他的忧伤又响又长。

His sorrow was loud and long.

原译:

他的忧伤又响又长。

辨析

原译显然辞不达意，叫人费解。原文中 sorrow是一个抽象的概念，意思是“忧伤”，但是，汉语说“忧伤（时间）长”尚能理解，“忧伤响”就不通了。比较贴切的翻译要将其具体化（specification）才能符合习惯可以猜出原句里的sorrow表现为哭泣，所以原句可译做:他很伤心，大声哭了很久。

请大家参考下面一些化抽象为具体的译例（需要说明一下提供的译文不是唯一的译文，也不能说是“标准译文”，仅供参考，希望对人家有启发作用）：
