考研英語(yǔ)二中的翻譯題為150詞左右，難度總體來(lái)說(shuō)并不大，但也需要同學(xué)們?cè)谄匠Ｇ诩泳毩?xí)。下面小編給出一道翻譯練習(xí)題，后附參考譯文，供2016考研的小伙伴們學(xué)習(xí)。

It was an adventurous, rewarding life but something was missing. “I remembered the plays I had written at school and that long buried ambition also to be a story teller. I began to write up my diaries of my desert excursions, attempting to publish a book on my camel expedition. That idea failed, but I had picked up a writing habit on weekends and public holidays and in 1997 I started my first novel, loosely based on my family heritage in China—which I finished in 2002.” In 2003 it was published by Hodder & Stoughton as ‘The Palace of Heavenly Pleasure’.

While continuing to live in Beijing working for Jardines, he now spends several months of the year in Italy where he bought a house for writing. Several more books followed. ‘The Palace of Heavenly Pleasure’, set in the Boxer Rebellion, became the first in a trilogy.

那是一種很有意義的冒險(xiǎn)生活，但是總覺(jué)得缺少了點(diǎn)什么。“我記得自己在上學(xué)的時(shí)候?qū)戇^(guò)戲劇，那個(gè)時(shí)候野心勃勃，勵(lì)志要成為一個(gè)講故事的人。我開(kāi)始寫(xiě)我的沙漠旅行日記，試圖出一本關(guān)于我的駱駝探險(xiǎn)隊(duì)的書(shū)，結(jié)果失敗了。但我逐漸養(yǎng)成了在周末以及節(jié)假日進(jìn)行寫(xiě)作的習(xí)慣。1997年，我開(kāi)始寫(xiě)我的第一本小說(shuō)，內(nèi)容大致基于我們家族在中國(guó)的生活。這本小說(shuō)于2002年完成。”2003年，該書(shū)由霍德&斯托頓出版公司出版，名為《天樂(lè)院》。

現(xiàn)在，威廉姆斯除了繼續(xù)在北京為怡和集團(tuán)工作之外，每年還會(huì)抽幾個(gè)月到意大利一所他專門(mén)買來(lái)進(jìn)行寫(xiě)作的房子里待幾個(gè)月。于是便有了之后的幾本書(shū)。以“義和團(tuán)運(yùn)動(dòng)”為背景的《天樂(lè)院》，成為了三部曲中的第一部。
