漢譯英
    舒舍予,字老舍,現(xiàn)年四十歲,面黃無須,生于北平,三歲失怙,可謂無父,志學(xué)之年,帝王不存,可謂無君,無父無君,特別孝愛老母。幼讀三百篇,不求甚解。繼學(xué)師范,遂奠教書匠之基,及壯,糊口四方,教書為業(yè)。甚難發(fā)財,每購獎券,以得末獎為榮,示甘為寒賤也。二十七歲,發(fā)憤著書,科學(xué)哲學(xué)無所終,故寫小說,博大家一笑,沒什么了不得。三十四歲結(jié)婚,今已有一男一女,均狡猾可喜。書無所不讀,全無所獲,并不著急,教書做事,均甚認(rèn)真,往往吃虧,也不后悔。再活四十年,也許能有點(diǎn)出息。
    【參考譯文】
    I, Shu Sheyu, style myself Lao She. I am a pale and beardless 40-year-old born in Beiping. I became fatherless at the age of 3 when my father died and emperorless at school age when the emperorwas dethroned. Fatherless and emperorless, I was especially filial and respectful to my mother. In my childhood, I read the Book of Songs, making no effort to understand the meaning thoroughly. Years later, I attended a normal school, where I prepared myself to be a teacher/ where I laid a foundation for my career as a teacher. In the prime of my life, I roved hither and thither/ went from one place to another, earning a living by teaching. As fortune seldom came to me, I prided myself on winning the smallest prize every time I bought a lottery ticket, which shows I enjoy myself in leading a poor and humble life. At 27, I made a determined effort to write books. Having achieved no success/ got nowhere with sciences and philosophy, I turned to fiction writing merely to amuse my readers, which is no big feat / did not amount to much. I got married at the age of 34. Now I have a son and a daughter. They are both naughty and lovable. Though an extensive reader withough much gains, I am not upset. I am conscientious in teaching and handling affairs, not regretting in spite of losses. If I could live another 40 years, I might get somewhere.
