新東方：1003高口考試英譯漢部分權(quán)威譯文及點評

So many of the productions currently to be seen on the london stage are concerned with the more violent aspects of life that it is surprising to meet a play about ordinary people caught up in ordinary events.Thomson Sackville's The Visitor is just such a play——at least, on the surface. It seems to stand well outside the mainstream of recent british drama.In fact the surface is so bland that attention is constantly focused on the care with which the play has been put together, and the clarity withwhich its argument develops; it seems natural to discuss it in terms of the notion of “the well-wrought play.”
如今，倫敦地區(qū)上演的戲劇往往都側(cè)重生活中的暴力行為。所以，當(dāng)我們看到一部戲所描寫的是平凡人物的平凡生活時，頗為驚訝。湯姆森.薩克維爾的《訪客》就是一部這樣的作品——至少，乍看之下的確如此。該劇似乎與時下英國主流戲劇相距甚遠(yuǎn)。實際上，從表層來看，該劇實在太過平淡無奇，于是，人們的注意力就轉(zhuǎn)移到了其他方面。譬如，這部戲是如何精心構(gòu)思的，其論點是如何條理清晰地展開的。所以，從創(chuàng)作的角度去探討這部“精雕細(xì)琢的戲”，似乎更為自然。
The story is about an unremarkable family evening in middle-class suburbia. The Husband and wife have invited a friend to dinner. the friend turns up in due course and they talk about their respective lives and interests. During this conversion, in which the author shows a remarkble talent for writing dialogue which is entertaining and witty without being so sparkling as to draw too much attention to itself; the characters are carefully fleshed out and provided with a set of credible——if unremarkable——motives. Through innumerable delicate touches in the writing they emerge：pleasant, humorous, ordinary， and ineffectual. and if they are never made vibrantly alive in terms of the real world, one feels that this is deliberate; that the author is content to give them a theatrical existence of their own， and leave it at that.
劇本講的是發(fā)生在市郊普通中產(chǎn)階級家庭里的一個聚會。一對夫妻邀請了一位朋友來共進(jìn)晚餐。朋友如約而至。三人聊起了各自的生活和興趣愛好。劇中的對話機智、風(fēng)趣，而又沒有那種為了吸引觀眾而喧賓奪主的架勢；劇作者的高超功力可見一斑。劇中的人物有血有肉，他們的（生活）動機雖不高尚，但令人信服。通過精細(xì)的刻畫，這些人物以親切、幽默、普通和平凡的形象展現(xiàn)在觀眾面前。如果以現(xiàn)實生活的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)來衡量，他們?nèi)狈δ欠N震撼人心的活力。這似乎是作者刻意為之的。只要這些人物能夠在戲劇舞臺上存活下來，并為人接受，作者就心滿意足了。
