　　【原文题目】

　　My Dream

　　My dream has always been to work somewhere in an area between fashion and publishing. Two years before graduating from secondary school, I took a sewing and design course thinking that I would move on to a fashion design course. However, during that course I realized that I was not good enough in this area to compete with other creative personalities in the future, so I decided that it was not the right path for me. Before applying for university I told everyone that I would study journalism, because writing was, and still is, one of my favourite activities. But, to be absolutely honest, I said it, because I thought that fashion and me together was just a dream - I knew that no one, apart from myself, could imagine me in the fashion industry at all!

　　【参考译文】

　　我的梦想

　　我的梦想一直是在时装设计和出版界之间找寻一个工作。在我中学毕业的两年前，我参加了一个缝纫和设计课程，原以为我能再继续参加一个时装设计的课程。然而，就在这个课程上，我意识到，将来在这个领域，我是无法和那些富于创新精神的精英们相媲美的。于是，我断定到这条路走不通。在申请上大学之前，我和所有人都讲，我想学新闻学，因为，写作曾经是，现在也是我最喜欢的活动之一。但是，说实话，我之所以这样说，是因为我以为从事时装设计不过是一个梦想，我也知道，除了我之外，没有人能想象出我会从事时装设计的工作。

　　【翻译解析】

　　1. My dream has always been to work somewhere in an area between fashion and publishing.

　　参考译文：我的梦想一直是在时装设计和出版界之间找寻一个工作。

　　句子分析：这个句子是简单句，句子主干是My dream has always been to work，后面的部分是状语。难点的地方在于状语部分somewhere in an area between fashion and publishing, 这里somewhere不需要翻译出来避免后面的介词短语重复，抽象理解为在时尚设计和出版界之间找寻一个工作。

　　2. Two years before graduating from secondary school, I took a sewing and design course thinking that I would move on to a fashion design course.

　　参考译文：在我中学毕业的两年前，我参加了一个缝纫和设计课程，原以为我能再继续参加一个时装设计的课程。

　　句子分析：句子主干为I took a sewing and design course 后面是现在分词短语thinking that I would move on to a fashion design course作伴随状语。

　　3.However, during that course I realized that I was not good enough in this area to compete with other creative personalities in the future, so I decided that it was not the right path for me.

　　参考译文：然而，就在这个课程上，我意识到，将来在这个领域，我是无法和那些富于创新精神的精英们相媲美的。于是，我断定到这条路走不通。

　　句子分析：句子结构是i realized +that 引导的宾语从句，so引导的结果状语从句，结果状语从句中that引导宾语从句。第一个宾语从句中主干是I was not good enough in this area，其后有动词不定式短语做目的状语。

　　4. Before applying for university I told everyone that I would study journalism, because writing was, and still is, one of my favourite activities.

　　参考译文：在申请上大学之前，我和所有人都讲，我想学新闻学，因为，写作曾经是，现在也是我最喜欢的活动之一。

　　句子分析：句子结构为i told everyone +that引导的宾语从句，because引导的状语从句。

　　5. But, to be absolutely honest, I said it, because I thought that fashion and me together was just a dream - I knew that no one, apart from myself, could imagine me in the fashion industry at all!

　　参考译文：但是，说实话，我之所以这样说，是因为我以为从事时装设计不过是一个梦想，我也知道，除了我之外，没有人能想象出我会从事时装设计的工作

　　句子分析：本句主句为i said it ，其后又because 引导原因状语从句，原因状语从句中that 引导了宾语从句。破折号之后的句子结构为I know +that引导的宾语从句。

　　总体来说，今年英语二翻译不论是从句式还是从词汇方面都比往年要简单。赶快来对下答案吧!
