【一句話翻譯】To Kill a Mockingbird. 殺死一隻知更鳥(已加原著作參考)

【漢譯英 Chinese to English】

 

先生們，法庭並不比坐在我麵前的陪審團中的每個人更好，法庭隻是與其陪審團一樣健全，而陪審團隻是與組成它的人一樣健全。

 

【參考譯文】原著

Gentleman, a court is no better than each man of you sitting before me on this jury, a court is only as sound as its jury, and the jury is only as sound as the men who make it up.

 

Notes:

(1) This sentence was copied from Harper Lees's novel To Kill a Mockingbird. It's what the story's narrator Scout's father Atticus, a lawyer, said to the jury.

(2) The novel, a coming-of-age story, is regarded as a masterpiece of American literature.

(3) It's Harper Lee's only published book during her lifetime except Go Set a Watchman was published just a few months before her death. Some suspect she was tricked by her lawyer to agree on the publication of Go Set a Watchman because she was too old to understand the decision.

(4) The novel remains a bestseller, with more than 40 million copies in print.

(5) The novel was often chosen by many high school English teachers for required reading.

• 謝謝Go兄的認真和鼓勵！喜歡這樣的翻譯。動動腦子，再比較一下。這裏用a court有它的道理。 -暖冬cool夏- ♀ (0 bytes) () 12/10/2023 postreply 08:52:53
