英语三级考试翻译辅导

1. 我真是太自苦了，太自寻烦恼了！脑海中为什么只有他的影子呢？眼睛所看到的，好像尽是他的笑容；耳中所到的，好像尽是他的声音。别人写来的信，也当做是他的，看了一遍又是一遍，整个的心完全被他占有了！

I’m being too hard on myself！ I’m suffering a self-inflicted torment！ How come his is the only image rising in my mind？ It seems that I see nothing but his smile and hear nothing but his voice. I take the sender of any letter I receive for him and then read it over again and again. I’m completely preoccupied with thoughts of him.

2. There‘s is a prayer intended to give strength to people faced with circumstances they don’t want to accept. The power of the prayer comes from its insight into human nature. Because so many of us rage against the hand that life has dealt us; Because so many of us are cowardly， and afraid to stand up for what is right; Because so many of us give in to despair， when faced with an impossible choice. The good news for those who utter these words is that god will hear you and answer your prayer. The bad news is that sometimes the answer is no。（英译汉）

祈祷赐给我们力量，让我们能够面对不愿接受的事实。祈祷的力量来自它对人性的洞察力；因为太多的人对我们的生活充满愤怒；因为太多的人过于懦弱，不敢为正义拍案而起；因为太多的人无法选择的时候，会对绝望妥协。好消息是敢于把话说出口的人，上帝会听到你的祈祷并回答你。坏消息是上帝的答案有时是否定的。
