汉译英是：“我希望我生命之中仍有美，我见过落日之美和……（我从网上找到原文了，是21届韩素音青年翻译大赛的一篇文章） And I want beauty in my life. Ihave seen beauty in a sunset and in the spring woods and in the eyes of diverswomen, but now these happy accidents of light and color no longer thrill me.And I want beauty in my life itself, rather than in such chances as befall it.It seems to me that many actions of my life were beautiful, very long ago, whenI was young in an evanished world of friendly girls, who were all more lovely thanany girl is nowadays. For women now are merely more or less good-looking, andas I know, their looks when at their best have been painstakingly enhanced andedited. But I would like this life which moves and yearns in me, to be ableitself to attain to comeliness, though but in transitory performance. The lifeof a butterfly, for example, is just a graceful gesture: and yet, in that itsloveliness is complete and perfectly rounded in itself, I envy this brightflicker through existence. And the nearest I can come to my ideal ispunctiliously to pay my bills, be polite to my wife, and contribute todeserving charities: and the program does not seem, somehow, quite adequate. 我希望我的生命中还有美。我见过落日之美和春木之美，还有潜水女人美丽的眼睛，但现在这些偶见的令人愉悦的光影已不再令我惊悚。我要我自己生命中的美，而不是光顾于它的这些偶然情形。在我看来我的生命中曾有过许多美好的行为，那是很久以前，我年轻的时候，置身于一群友善的姑娘中，这是个现已不复存在的世界。她们个个都比现今的任何一个女孩子更可爱。因为现在的女人们都只差不多算是好看。而据我所知，她们的容貌在最美好的时候却被千方百计地处理和修改过了。但是我宁愿这个在我身体上活动着、渴望着的生命本身能够实现些许美好，哪怕只是昙花一现的表现。比如一只蝴蝶的生命本身就是一个优美的姿态：而且，由于其本身的优美可人是彻底而完美的，所以我羡慕这种由其生存方式本身所带来的亮丽的振翅；而我所能做到的最接近我理想的事情不过是循规蹈矩地支付各种账单、对妻子恭敬有礼、捐助有意义的慈善事业——不过，这些做法似乎还不太够。（到这儿，这是原文） · 英译汉也被我找到了，来源（文章摘要：十月联考在即,环球网校研究生频道小编特为您奉上《GCT备考：五种方法让你成为英语阅读高手》资料，希望对您有所帮助）： · Languageand literacy are among mankind's greatest inventions. Evolving and even dyingover the course of human history, languages are a reflection of our culturaland societal attitudes. Today, surrounded by social media, television, movies,billboards, and, of course, books, the ability to read and write is crucial toforming an identity and expressing one's feelings. 语言和读写能力是人类最伟大的发明。人类历史在演变甚至是灭绝的过程中，语言都是对我们的文化和社会态度的反应。时至今日，当我们被社会传媒、电视、电影、广告牌当然还有书本包围时，读写能力对于我们形成一种特征和表达自己的感受是至关重要的。 Most humans acquire language in earlychildhood and speak fluently when they are about three years old, but ourcontinued relationship with language gives shape and meaning to our lives.

Take it slow. 放慢速度 Many readers feel that they read tooslowly, especially compared with others, but the truth is that the faster youread, the less likely you are to comprehend fully what you're reading. The bestreaders are flexible-slowing down when needed, especially if weighty conceptsor unknown words are grouped closely together-and always have a dictionary athand. 许多读者觉得他们读得太慢了，特别是相对于其他人而言，但是事实上你读得越快，你就越可能不能完全理解你读的内容。最好的读者是灵活多变的--需要时他们就读得慢，特别是当一些繁琐的概念或者是不认识的字都混在一起时，他们往往都读得慢--而且常常会带一本字典在身边。
