英語(yǔ)專(zhuān)八翻譯模擬練習(xí)題（10）

　　那位小姐住在山后峽谷的對(duì)面.那是好多年以前了，當(dāng)時(shí)我還年輕，常常騎馬去看她.路雖然很長(zhǎng)，但是我騎得很快.夫人一定知道，年輕人都沒(méi)有耐心.而且，那位小姐非常不友好，總是讓我等，一等就是好幾個(gè)小時(shí)。有一天，等了很久她也沒(méi)來(lái)，我非常生氣，在我們約定見(jiàn)面的花園里走來(lái)走去.一氣之下便折了她的一棵玫瑰，只是從上面折了一根枝條下來(lái).當(dāng)我意識(shí)到自己做的事情之后，立馬把它藏在了外套里.在回家之后，我便把它栽了起來(lái).夫人都已看到了，它長(zhǎng)成了現(xiàn)在這個(gè)樣子.如果夫人喜歡，我一定送你一枝栽在花園里.我聽(tīng)說(shuō)英國(guó)的花園非常漂亮，總是綠幽幽的，不像我們這里的園子，都快被太陽(yáng)烤焦了。

　　參考譯文：

　　"The lady lived across the valley there beyond that hill. I was a young man then, for it was many years ago. I used to ride over to see her; it was a long way, but I rode fast, for young men, as no doubt the Signora knows, are impatient. But the lady was not kind, she would keep me waiting, oh, for hours; and one day when I had waited very long I grew very angry, and as I walked up and down in the garden where she had told me she would see me, I broke one of her roses, broke a branch from it ; and when I saw what I had done, I hid it inside my coat so ; and when I came home I planted it, and the Signora sees how it has grown. If the Signora admires it, I must give her a cutting to plant also in her garden; I am told the English have beautiful gardens that are green, and not burnt with the sun like ours."
