英文原文与参考译文

Mental health is our birthright. Mental health can't be learned, only reawakened. It is like the immune system of the body, which under stress or through lack of nutrition or exercise can be weakened, but which never leaves us. When we don't understand the value of mental health and we don't know how to gain access to it, mental health will remain hidden from us.

心理健康是我们与生俱来的权利。我们不必学习如何保持心理健康;它内置于我们体内,就像我们的身体知道如何愈合伤口或修复骨折一样。心理健康无法习得,只能被重新唤醒。它就像身体的免疫系统,在压力下或因缺乏营养或锻炼而被削弱,但它永远不会离开我们。当我们不理解心理健康的价值,也不知道如何获得它时,心理健康就会对我们隐藏起来。我们的心理健康并不会真正消失;就像云层后面的太阳,它可能暂时被遮挡,但完全有能力在瞬间恢复。

Mental health is the seed that contains self-esteem – confidence in ourselves and an ability to trust in our common sense. It allows us to have perspective on our lives – the ability to not take ourselves too seriously, to laugh at ourselves, to see the bigger picture, and to see that things will work out. It's a form of innate or unlearned optimism. Mental health is the source of creativity for solving problems, resolving conflict, making our surroundings more beautiful, managing our home life, or coming up with a creative business idea or invention to make our lives easier. It gives us patience for ourselves and toward others as well as (46)We don't have to learn how to be mentally healthy; it is built into us in the same way that our bodies know how to heal a cut or mend a broken bone. (47)Our mental health doesn't really go anywhere; like the sun behind a cloud, it can be temporarily hidden from view, but it is fully capable of being restored in an instant. (48)Mental health allows us to view others with sympathy if they are having troubles, with kindness if they are in pain, and with unconditional love no matter who they are. patience while driving, catching a fish, working on our car, or raising a child. It allows us to see the beauty that surrounds us each moment in nature, in culture, in the flow of our daily lives.

心理健康是包含自尊的种子——对自己的信心以及信任自己常识的能力。它让我们能够正确看待自己的生活——不把自己看得太重的能力,能够自嘲,看到更大的格局,并看到事情会解决的。这是一种天生的或无需学习的乐观主义。心理健康让我们在他人遇到麻烦时以同情看待他们,在他们痛苦时以善意对待他们,无论他们是谁都以无条件的爱对待他们。心理健康是创造力的源泉,用于解决问题、化解冲突、美化我们的环境、管理家庭生活,或想出创造性的商业想法或发明来让我们的生活更轻松。它赋予我们对自己和他人的耐心,以及在开车、钓鱼、修车或抚养孩子时的耐心。它让我们看到每时每刻环绕我们的美——自然之美、文化之美、日常生活流动之美。

It has been available even in the most mundane of life situations to show you right from wrong, good from bad, friend from foe. Mental health has commonly been called conscience, instinct, wisdom, common sense, or the inner voice. We think of it simply as a healthy and helpful flow of intelligent thought.

尽管心理健康是我们生活的万能良药,但它极为平常,你会发现它一直在那里指引你做出所有艰难的决定。即使在最平凡的生活情境中,它也一直可用,向你展示对与错、好与坏、朋友与敌人。心理健康通常被称为良知、本能、智慧、常识或内心的声音。我们简单地将其视为健康而有益的智慧思想流动。正如你将看到的,知道心理健康始终可用并知道信任它,能让我们放慢脚步活在当下,快乐地生活。

(49)Although mental health is the cure-all for living our lives, it is perfectly ordinary as you will see that it has been there to direct you through all your difficult decisions.

(50)As you will come to see, knowing that mental health is always available and knowing to trust it allows us to slow down to the moment and live life happily.

划线句与参考译文

(46) We don't have to learn how to be mentally healthy; it is built into us in the same way that our bodies know how to heal a cut or mend a broken bone.

参考译文:我们不必去学习如何让自己心理健康;它是与生俱来的,就如同我们的身体生来便知道如何愈合伤口、接好断骨一样。

采分点解析:【意群】We don't have to learn how to be mentally healthy;(前半句主干(主谓宾))★采分→我们不必 学习如何做到心理健康; 难点:don't have to = 不必,别误作禁止 don't have to 是「不必、无需」,不是「不允许、一定不能」(那是 must not)。结合全文 Mental health can't be learned,这里说的是「无需去学」,译成「我们不必学习如何做到心 理健康」。 it is built into us(后半句主干(主系表/被动))★采分→它内建于我们之中 难点:it 回指心理健康;built into 译「与生俱来」 it 即上文 Mental health。be built into us 直译「被建造进我们体内」生硬,按汉语具体化为 「与生俱来、生来就有」更自然。 in the same way that our bodies know how to heal a cut or mend a broken bone.(方式状语 (the same way that 引导))★采分→就如同我们的身体知道如何愈合伤口或修复断骨一样 难点:in the same way that = 就像…一样;heal/mend 具体化 the same way that 在此等于 just as,引导方式状语,译「就像…一样」。heal a cut 是「愈 合伤口」、mend a broken bone 是「修复(接好)断骨」,都要落到具体动作,别笼统译成 「治好」。 【调序】方式状语提前,分号保留为前后呼应 汉语习惯把 in the same way that… 这类「就像…一样」的方式状语放在所修饰的动作之前或之后 均可,本句放在「它与生俱来」之后顺承即可;前后两个分句用「;」或「,」自然衔接,保持 「不必学—生来就有」的因果呼应。

(47) Our mental health doesn't really go anywhere; like the sun behind a cloud, it can be temporarily hidden from view, but it is fully capable of being restored in an instant.

参考译文:我们的心理健康其实并不会消失到哪里去;就像云后的太阳,它可以暂时被遮住、看不见,但它完全能够在顷刻间重新焕发出来。

采分点解析:【意群】Our mental health doesn't really go anywhere;(前半句主干)★采分→我们的心理健康其实并 不会消失到任何地方; 难点:doesn't go anywhere 是含蓄否定,意为「哪儿也没去=并未消失」 go anywhere 在否定句里不是字面「去某地」,而是「(它)哪儿也没去」即「并未离开、没 有消失」,呼应上文 never leaves us。译「并不会真的消失」最贴切。 like the sun behind a cloud,(比喻状语(插入))★采分→就像云朵背后的太阳一样, 难点:承接前文免疫系统类比的同型比喻 the sun behind a cloud 延续第1段 It is like the immune system of the body 的逻辑:太阳 被云遮住≠太阳消失,对应心理健康被遮蔽≠它离开。译「就像云后的太阳」即可,比喻意象要 保留。 it can be temporarily hidden from view,(主干(被动))★采分→它可以被暂时地遮蔽于视野 之外, 难点:be hidden from view 被动转主动;it 回指心理健康 it 仍指 mental health。be hidden from view 直译「被从视野中隐藏」生硬,汉化为「被暂时 遮住、暂时看不见」更自然。 but it is fully capable of being restored in an instant.(but 引导转折并列分句)★采分→但它完 全能够在一瞬间被恢复。 难点:be capable of being restored 被动 + in an instant is fully capable of being restored 意为「完全有能力被恢复」,汉化为「完全能够(在顷刻 间)恢复」;in an instant = 转瞬间、顷刻之间。fully 的程度别漏。 【调序】比喻插入语归位、被动转主动 like the sun behind a cloud 是插入的比喻状语,汉译时提到它所修饰的 it can be temporarily hidden from view 之前,译成「就像云后的太阳,它可以被暂时遮住」;两个被动 hidden、 restored 转为主动或自然受事表达,全句按「不消失—像太阳被云遮—暂时看不见—但能瞬间恢 复」顺承。

(48) Mental health allows us to view others with sympathy if they are having troubles, with kindness if they are in pain, and with unconditional love no matter who they are.

参考译文:心理健康让我们能够这样看待他人:在他们遇到困难时怀有同情,在他们身处痛苦时怀有善意,并且无论他们是谁,都给予无条件的爱。

采分点解析:【意群】Mental health allows us to view others(主干(主谓宾 + 宾补 to view))★采分→心理健康使我 们能够看待他人 难点:allow sb to do = 使/让某人能够 allows us to view 是「allow sb to do」结构,译「使我们能够、让我们得以」;view others 即「看待他人」。这是后面三个并列方式状语共同的主干。 with sympathy if they are having troubles,(方式状语 1 + 条件状语从句)★采分→怀着同情,如 果他们遇到困难, 难点:with + 名词 = 方式状语「怀着…」 with sympathy 是「带着/怀着同情」的方式状语,配套的 if they are having troubles 是条件 从句。可整合译成「在他人遇到困难时怀着同情(去看待)」。 with kindness if they are in pain,(方式状语 2 + 条件状语从句(并列))★采分→怀着善意,如 果他们身处痛苦, 难点:与上一并列结构同型,be in pain = 处于痛苦中 结构与前一块完全并列:with kindness 对应 if they are in pain。译「在他人痛苦时怀着善 意」。三个 with… 并列要译出层次。 and with unconditional love no matter who they are.(方式状语 3(and 收尾)+ 让步从句)★采 分→并怀着无条件的爱,无论他们是谁。 难点:no matter who = 无论是谁(让步从句) and 收尾第三个并列项;no matter who they are 是「无论他们是谁」的让步从句。 unconditional love 译「无条件的爱」。 【调序】条件从句前移、三项排比 汉语习惯把 if they are having troubles 这类条件提到对应方式状语之前,整合为「在他们遇到困 难时,怀着同情……」;三个并列项按「同情—善意—无条件的爱」依次排比,主干「心理健康让 我们能这样看待他人」统领全句。

(49) Although mental health is the cure-all for living our lives, it is perfectly ordinary as you will see that it has been there to direct you through all your difficult decisions.

参考译文:尽管心理健康是我们安度人生的万能良药,它却又再平常不过;正如你将会看到的那样,它一直都在,指引着你做出所有艰难的抉择。

采分点解析:【意群】Although mental health is the cure-all for living our lives,(让步状语从句(Although 引导))★ 采分→尽管心理健康是我们生活的万能良药, 难点:cure-all = 万能药;Although 表让步 cure-all 是合成名词「包治百病的灵药、万能良药」,并非生词拆字硬猜。Although 引导让 步,与后文「却又十分平常」形成「虽…却…」的反差,这层逻辑要译出。 it is perfectly ordinary(主句主干)★采分→它却是完全平常的 难点:it 回指心理健康;perfectly ordinary 程度 it 仍指 mental health。perfectly ordinary 是「极其平常、再普通不过」,perfectly 在此是程 度副词「完全、十分」,不是「完美地」。 as you will see that it has been there to direct you through all your difficult decisions.(as 引导 原因/方式从句,内含 that 宾语从句)★采分→正如你将看到的,它一直都在,指引你度过你所 有的艰难抉择 难点:as you will see = 正如你将看到的;it has been there 译「一直都在」 as 在此引导「正如…那样」的从句,you will see 后接 that 宾语从句。it has been there 不是 「它去过那里」,而是「它一直在那里、始终存在」;direct you through… 是「指引你度 过…」,through 配 difficult decisions 译「(帮你)做出/度过所有艰难的决定」。 【调序】让步从句前置、「虽…却…」成对译 Although mental health is the cure-all… 让步从句本就在句首,保持前置,与主句 it is perfectly ordinary 译成「尽管…,它却…」的对照;as 从句作为补充说明放在主句之后,译「正 如你将看到的,它一直都在指引你…」。

(50) As you will come to see, knowing that mental health is always available and knowing to trust it allows us to slow down to the moment and live life happily.

参考译文:正如你将逐渐领悟到的,懂得心理健康始终都在、并且懂得去信任它,便能让我们放慢脚步、回到当下,从而幸福地生活。

采分点解析:【意群】As you will come to see,(as 引导的状语(插入))→正如你将逐渐认识到的, 难点:come to see = 逐渐认识到、终将明白 come to do 是「逐渐变得…、终将…」,come to see 即「逐渐看清、慢慢领悟」,不是字面 「来看」。这是引出后文的过渡语。 knowing that mental health is always available and knowing to trust it(动名词并列主语 (knowing… and knowing…))★采分→懂得心理健康始终可得,并且懂得信任它 难点:两个 knowing 是并列主语;it 回指心理健康 本句真正的主语是两个并列的动名词短语 knowing that… and knowing to…,不是 you。 always available 译「始终存在/随时可得」;trust it 的 it 即 mental health。看清「双 knowing 作主语」是本句结构关键。 allows us to slow down to the moment(谓语 + 宾补(allow sb to do))★采分→让我们能够放 慢脚步、回到当下 难点:slow down to the moment = 慢下来、活在当下 谓语 allows 对应前面双 knowing 的主语(动名词作主语视为单数,故用 allows)。slow down to the moment 是「放慢节奏、专注于当下这一刻」,the moment 指「当下、 此刻」。 and live life happily.(并列宾补(and 收尾))★采分→并幸福地生活 难点:与 slow down 并列,同受 allows us to 支配 and live life happily 与 slow down 并列,同属 allows us to 的宾补:让我们「放慢下来…并幸 福地生活」。live life happily 译「幸福地度过人生」。 【调序】as 插入语前置、动名词主语译成小句 As you will come to see 提到句首译「正如你将逐渐明白的」;两个 knowing 动名词主语在汉语 里转译成「懂得…,并懂得…」的小句,再接「(这)便能让我们…」,把英语的「动名词主语 + allows」转成汉语「做到…就能…」的因果顺承。
