问答题
To different people, the word "ideal" may mean different things.
1 To some, it may mean success and fame in their career; to others, a peaceful life. 2 Very often, we have ideals for the self but no ideals for the society.
In my opinion, a youth should have ideals.
3 But these ideals are not merely centered on the self;
they should also be the ones for the majority of people. Then we would get strength and confidence towards life.
4 The setting up of an ideal means that real and concrete action should be taken.
For us students, the most important thing is to study.
5 Sometimes, in striving toward our ideals, we may encounter certain difficulties and failures, but we should not give up hope. 6 We will never lose heart if our ideals are the wish of the many!
【正确答案】
【答案解析】在一些人看来，理想可能意味着事业上的成功和荣誉；在另一些人看来，理想可能意味着平静的生活。[解析] 本句注意to some(在一些人看来)和to others(在另一些人看来)的对比翻译。a peace life前省略了和前面分句相同的部分it may mean。
【正确答案】
【答案解析】我们常常有自我理想，却没有社会理想。[解析] 状语very often在英语中为了表示强调而前置，在译成汉语时应后置。ideal意为“理想”，ideals for the self意为“自我理想”；ideals for the society意为“社会理想”。
