句群內(nèi)的銜接與連貫（6）

　　(7) 我看那邊月臺的柵欄外有幾個賣東西的等著顧客。走到那邊月臺，須穿過鐵道，須跳下去又爬上去。父親是一個胖子，走過去自然要費事些。我本來要去的，他不肯，只好讓他取。

　　I caught sight of several vendors waiting for customers outside the railings beyond a platform. But to reach that platform would require crossing the railway track and doing some climbing up and down. That would be a strenuous job for father who was fat. I wanted to do all that myself, but he stopped me, so I could do nothing but let him go.

　　(朱自清《背影》，張培基譯)

　　原文主要隱含轉(zhuǎn)折關系和因果關系：“我”發(fā)現(xiàn)父親買東西必須去月臺，但去月臺就得費周折，既“須穿過鐵道”又“須跳下去又爬上去”，因而對身材肥胖的父親而言并非易事，可是父親堅持去買桔子，所以我只好作罷。譯文用“But”、“and”、“so”把原文句子的邏輯關系表現(xiàn)出來，并在第三句中用“that”指代前一句中“crossing the railway track and doing some climbing up and down”的信息，巧妙地將前后兩句銜接在一起。
