问题 How was it possible, I asked myself, to walk for an hour through the woods and see nothing worthy of note? I who cannot see find hundreds of things to interest me through mere touch. I feel the delicate symmetry of a leaf. I pass my hands lovingly about the smooth skin of a silver birch, or the rough, shaggy bark of a pine. In the spring I touch the branches of trees hopefully in search of a bud the first sign of awakening Nature after her winter’s sleep. I feel the delightful, velvety texture of a flower, and discover its remarkable convolutions; and something of the miracle of Nature is revealed to me. Occasionally, if I am very fortunate, I place my hand gently on a small tree and feel the happy quiver of a bird in full song. I am delighted to have the cool waters of a brook rush through my open finger. To me a lush carpet of pine needles or spongy grass is more welcome than the most luxurious Persian rug. To me the page ant of seasons is a thrilling and unending drama, the action of which streams through my finger tips.
选项
答案     我问自己，在树林中走一小时怎么可能看不到值得注意的景色呢?而我，一个看不到任何东西的盲人只是通过触摸都能发现很多有趣的东西。我感受到树叶的精巧匀称。我深情地抚摸着白桦树光滑的树皮，松树粗糙毛绒的树皮。春天里，我满怀希望地触摸着树枝寻找新芽，那是大自然冬眠后醒来的第一个征象。我感受到花朵的可爱和茸茸的质感，知道它层层叠叠地绽放着，大自然的神奇就这样展现在我的面前。有时我把手轻轻地放在小树上，如果幸运的话，会感受到小鸟唱歌时欢快的颤动。当清凉的溪水从手指之间流过时，我也无比愉快。
解析 1．第一句的worthy of note可译为“值得注意的”；翻译see nothing…时，可将否定转移到修饰动词see上，译为“看不到”。
2．第二句的hundreds of things直译为“成百上千”，引申为“很多”。
3．第六句的velvety意为“茸茸的”；convolutions本义为“回旋，卷旋”，在此形容花朵，引申为“层层叠叠”。
4．在翻译第六句后半句something of the miracle of Nature is revealed to me时，应转化为主动表达形式。
5．在翻译最后一句时要注意，汉语习惯将表情感的成分后置，故将have the cool waters of abrook rush through my open finger提前翻译。
