【正确答案】正确答案：It was summer. I saw her in front of a fruit stand just a few days later. She bent down to choose grapes, bunch by bunch, and put them into a plastic bag. She was talking with the owner. Except for the short-sleeve black dress showing something about funeral, she looked like every other calm woman in the streets. Deep purple grapes were like a still-life painting in the midday sun. The grapes were in season and there was nothing to stop people tasting these juicy fruits. Did those carefully selected grapes indicate that her life returned to normal? I didn't call her, for fear of disturbing something.

【答案解析】解析：1．本文选自陈蔚文的散文集《又得浮生一日凉》，讲述了作者与女主人公偶遇的故事，译文的主体时态应采用一般过去时。画线部分共七句话，语言朴实易懂，句子结构亦不复杂，翻译时应注意根据语意恰当地进行拆译。 2．第一句中的“正是夏天”与后面主句关系不是很明显，建议拆译，单独成句。此句没有主语，根据上下文可知主语应为“我”，翻译时应把I补充出来。“水果摊”译为fruit stand。此处的“碰到”不宜直译为meet，根据下文的“我没叫她”，可理解为“看到”，故译为see比较贴切。时间状语“没过几天”译为just a few dayslater，置句末。 3．第二句的并列动作为“俯身挑选”和“放”，直译为并列结构bend down to…and put．．．即可。“一串串挑好”是为了突出女主人公的“平静”，与中文语序保持一致，用bunch by bunch表达。 4．第三句中的第一个分句跟后面两个分句关系较疏远，宜拆译。第三个分句处理为主句，翻译“任何一位”时，为了符合英语表达习惯，应译为every other，即“除了自己以外的其他任何一个”。第二个分句的“除了”用except for译出，表明整体中除去一点细节的东西；“消息”并不是真正的news，用something表达较好。 5．第五句可简单处理为两个并列的分句，“上市的季节”表达为in season即可；“阻止某人做某事”可译为stop sb．(from)doing sth．。 6．第六句的“生活又照常如旧了吗”为“表明”的宾语从句，翻译时为了使句子的逻辑更为清晰准确，应在“生活”前面增译her。 7．最后一句主句为“我没叫她”I didn't call her；“怕惊动一些什么”作原因状语，用介词短语for fear of译出。
