2016年11月翻译资格考试高级口译参考译文（8）

　　舒舍予，字老舍，现年四十岁，面黄无须，生于北平，三岁失怙，可谓无父，志学之年，帝王不存，可谓无君，无父无君，特别孝爱老母。幼读三百篇，不求甚解。继学师范，遂奠教书匠之基，及壮，糊口四方，教书伟业。甚难发财，每购奖券，以得末奖为荣，示甘为寒贱也。二十七岁，发愤著书，科学哲学无所终，故写小说，博大家一笑，没什么了不得。三十四岁结婚，今已有一男一女，均狡猾可喜。书无所不读，全无所惑，并不着急，教书做事，均甚认真，往往吃亏，也不后悔。再活四十年，也许能有点出息。

　　译文：

　　Originally named as Shu Sheyu, I styled myself Lao She//write under the pseudonym of Lao She. Forty years old, I have a sallow/withered complexion with no beard. Born in Beiping (now Beijing), I am fatherless, since my father died when I was three//I lost my father at the age of three. I don’t have an emperor, for the dynasty collapsed//the emperor was dethroned when I was 15. Without father and emperor, I was particularly filial and respectful to my elderly mother. Reading superficially though extensively from childhood, I have laid a solid foundation for teaching after studying at a normal university. During my prime of life//In my prime years, I scraped my living and made teaching my career. Awkward at getting rich, I took it as an honor to win the lowest prize when buying lotteries. I had preference to humbleness. When 27, I resolved to write books in consequence of no achievements in science and philosophy. Thus, I began to write fictions to amuse readers, which is not worth mentioning. Getting married when 34, I have both a son and a daughter, who are naughty and cute/mischievous/lovable. Not vexed by reading futilely though comprehensively, I dealt seriously with teaching and handling affairs with no regret for suffering losses. Another 40 years will bring me more prospects.
