English英语译成Chinese汉语: A Rose For Emily(last chapter)
原文文本 - English英语 THE NEGRO met the first of the ladies at the front door and let them in, with their hushed, sibilant voices and their quick, curious glances, and then he disappeared. He walked right through the house and out the back and was not seen again.
The two female cousins came at once. They held the funeral on the second day, with the town coming to look at Miss Emily beneath a mass of bought flowers, with the crayon face of her father musing profoundly above the bier and the ladies sibilant and macabre; and the very old men --some in their brushed Confederate uniforms--on the porch and the lawn, talking of Miss Emily as if she had been a contemporary of theirs, believing that they had danced with her and courted her perhaps, confusing time with its mathematical progression, as the old do, to whom all the past is not a diminishing road but, instead, a huge meadow which no winter ever quite touches, divided from them now by the narrow bottle-neck of the most recent decade of years.
Already we knew that there was one room in that region above stairs which no one had seen in forty years, and which would have to be forced. They waited until Miss Emily was decently in the ground before they opened it.
The violence of breaking down the door seemed to fill this room with pervading dust. A thin, acrid pall as of the tomb seemed to lie everywhere upon this room decked and furnished as for a bridal: upon the valance curtains of faded rose color, upon the rose-shaded lights, upon the dressing table, upon the delicate array of crystal and the man's toilet things backed with tarnished silver, silver so tarnished that the monogram was obscured. Among them lay a collar and tie, as if they had just been removed, which, lifted, left upon the surface a pale crescent in the dust. Upon a chair hung the suit, carefully folded; beneath it the two mute shoes and the discarded socks.
The man himself lay in the bed.
For a long while we just stood there, looking down at the profound and fleshless grin. The body had apparently once lain in the attitude of an embrace, but now the long sleep that outlasts love, that conquers even the grimace of love, had cuckolded him. What was left of him, rotted beneath what was left of the nightshirt, had become inextricable from the bed in which he lay; and upon him and upon the pillow beside him lay that even coating of the patient and biding dust.
Then we noticed that in the second pillow was the indentation of a head. One of us lifted something from it, and leaning forward, that faint and invisible dust dry and acrid in the nostrils, we saw a long strand of iron-gray hair.
翻译文本 - English英语 Thirty years ago in Shanghai, there was a moonlit night……of which we had missed to catch the moon. Young people must have thought the moon thirty years ago to be a reddish yellow blush as big as a copper cash coin, looked as if a drop of tear on the letter paper from the old cloud house, aged and dimmed. Of the moon of thirty years ago, old people had always retained delightful memories; of which, compared to the current one, was larger, rounder, and whiter. However it was, after a thirty years miserable journey of tremendous sufferings, the best moonlight would have been shaded with loneliness and desolation.
QI Qiao was lying on the cigarette store, half-sleeping. Thirty years had she been held in this bondage of gold. Cruelly she had slaughtered a few with the heavy flail, rendering those survived fatally wounded. She knew that her son and daughter hated her with a vengeance; her in-laws and her parents’, too, vehemently abhorred her. Feeling the blue jade bracelet on her wrist, she slowly pushed it upward through her bony arm, up to her armpit. It was now hard to believe that she once had round, plumpy arms; unbelievable that the few years after marriage, only a crape handkerchief could be squeezed in between the bracelet and her wrist. During her eighteen or nineteen, flamboyantly she would wear blue, silky laced grass linen dress, revealing her snowy-white hands, and swagger to the market for grocery.
Numerous had crushed on her: Chao Lu in the butcher shop, her brother’s sworn brothers: Ding Yu Gen and Zhang Yu Quan, and Chen tailor’s son. Normally crushes on her had only been an open jest; had she had picked one of them, got married, and given birth to a baby later in life, the man would, only then, start to love and appreciate her. QI Qiao slightly shifted the Western-style pillow beside the lotus leaf under her head, which her face pressed onto, rubbing one side of her tears; the one drop of tear on the other side she was indolent to bother about wiping off, letting them dry on her cheeks.
Of thirty years ago, the moon, had long sunk in the past; the people, had all long died; yet, the story has not ended–-it will go on indefinitely.

Chinese汉语译成English英语: Autobiographical Memory in Poor ESL Learners: The Psychological Effects of Unpleasant Learning Experiences General field: 其它 Detailed field: 语言学
翻译文本 - English英语 English is a compulsory subject in primary and secondary education in Malaysia; even though it is not the national language, it is the main medium of communication in the society of Malaysia and the lingua franca in the business world here. In general, Chinese who live in Malaysia speak at least three languages, i.e. their mother tongue (Mandarin or other Chinese dialects), English and Malay. Despite the same big environment in which all Chinese grow up, some have mastered these three languages, some only two of the three, and some only one. It is commonly acknowledged in educational psychology that there are three aspects to the basic factors affecting one’s learning efficiency, i.e. individual physiology, individual psychology, and individual environment. Most people believe that a person’s language ability is largely correlated with the environmental factor, which primarily consists of one’s living environment and educational conditions. In general, most students with poor English ability come from non-English-speaking families where their non-English speaking habit was formed. If at school, this group of students chooses to befriend classmates of similar background, the opportunity for them to use English will be further reduced. On the contrary, if this group of students chooses to befriend English-speaking classmates, and is willing to overcome their learning barriers and improve their weaknesses, they will still be able to effectively improve their English ability. In other words, during second-language acquisition, apart from the environmental factor, psychological factors also dominate the learner’s entire learning process, which will determine the kind of propensity to be developed during learning, and have an impact on their learning behavior and effect. Language learning is in essence a cognitive process, which comprises mainly of attention, perception, thoughts, and memories. Attention is the beginning of one’s cognitive process, while perception is the foundation formed by thoughts and memories. The processing of perceptual materials in the brain becomes the thoughts, while the storing and extracting of the cognition builds the memories. Psychologically speaking, cognitive activities go hand in hand with psychological factors, which exert an impact to be reckoned with on the said activities. They are inseparably interconnected throughout the language-learning process. During second-language acquisition, it is impossible that a cognitive activity takes place independently from psychological factors. Ample studies on learning outcomes and psychological factors have focused on the sense of anxiety, rather than other negative emotions. In view of that, this paper will probe in-depth into other psychological factors, besides anxiety, that affect second-language acquisition. In this study, three Chinese adults with relatively limited English proficiency will speak, by way of AM, about their unpleasant experiences while learning and using the language and how these experiences have impacted them psychologically and changed their learning attitude.

Hi! thank you for visiting "About Jacqueline How Pai Xuan".
Having the passion for languages and being born in Malaysia, a multiethnic country, I have the dream of becoming an excellent translator or interpreter since young and have been making efforts to achieve this goal.
I am a keen learner who makes conscientious effort to internalize the field of knowledge I am translating or interpreting as an insider. I find myself restless to achieve accuracy in interpreting between languages, in the same time driven to producing elegant works in the target language in terms of its style and language use.
Please feel free to contact me through proz.com or my personal email at [email protected]. My 100% will certainly be put into every work.
