2023年3月英语六级翻译预测:画饼充饥
在很长时间很长时间以前,有个聪明的小孩子,他只有十岁。一天他自己出去玩,结果他走进了一个森林里迷失方向了,他走了好久好久都找不到回家的路。到傍晚的时候,小孩子非常饿非常饿了,他非常想吃母亲做的饼,可这个时候他找不到回家的路,如何可以吃到母亲做的饼呢?于是聪明的小孩子就用树枝在地上画了一个大大的饼,还在饼上点上芝麻。小孩子看着看着,仿佛就闻到了饼的香味,他想着自己平常吃到的香喷喷的饼,想着想着小孩子就感觉自己不是特别饿了。这个词汇比喻以空想来自我安慰。
参考译文:
Long time ago, there was a clever boy who was only ten years old. One day, he was lost in the forest and couldn’t find the way home. At night, the boy was so hungry and he wanted to eat the cake that was made by his mother. So he drew a cake with some sesame seeds on the ground. The little boy looked at the cake as if he could smell the flavour of it. He was thinking of the delicious cake and didn’t feel hungry then. This idiom is a metaphor for comforting oneself with fantasy.
