2018专八翻译训练题:语言

  中文原文:

  不知道我们这一生究竟要讲多少句话。如果有一种工具可以统计,像步行锻炼的人所带的计步器那样,我相信其结果必定是天文数字,其长可以绕地球几周,其密可以下大雨几场。具体情形当然因人而异。有人说话如参禅,能少说就少说,最好是不说,一切尽在不言中;有人说话如蝉鸣,并不一定要表达什么,只是无意识地做口腔运动而已。

  Translation:

  Nobody knowns that how many words and sentences we will speak in our whole lives. I believe that if there is a tool which can calculate them, just like the pedometer taken by people walking for exercise, the counting result would be too large to be described by numbers. If adding all words and sentences together, the length would be several times of the perimeter of the earth, and the thickness would be several times of heavy rainfalls. Of course, the counting result differs from man to man. Some people talk as if they are meditating with few words or even say nothing at all. Some speak just like cicada's singing without expressing any information but unconsciously doing oral exercise.
