【正确答案】 The concept of home kept changing as my life hurried along. Among the many definitions I gave to it, there is one which relates to grief. I remember, for instance, how my father's early death led me to understand all the injuries inflicted by the world added together are sometimes less devastating than a single misfortune in your family. However, you may also feel a kind of strength in your family. After my father's death, my mother, who used to be quiet and gentle, became strong and indomitable. She led my brother and me out of our misery and we got back on our feet again. Tranquility came back to my home, where happiness reigned as before. In retrospect, I can compare home to an unyielding plant: it may be burnt down by wildfire, but it will sprout again when the spring breeze blows.

【答案解析】背景介绍
本文摘自白岩松的《家在途中》。作者叙述了从小到大，自己对家的理解和感受都在不断地发生变化。从童年的呼唤，入伍后的信笺，到工作后家成了疗伤之地以及婚后来自家庭的温馨和羁绊，作者酣畅淋漓地表达出了对家的依恋和热爱。选段为文章的倒数第二节，作者化悲痛为力气，又为家的概念附上了一层“坚强”的意义。
难点解析
- “生命在这种变换中匆匆地走着”：此句看似复杂，但联系前半句不难理解为“生命匆匆向前，家的概念也不停变换”。因此译为“as my life hurried along”简洁明了。
- 此处中文的“意味着”不可完全对等于“means”，译为“which relates to”则更为贴切。
- 中文里的“不如……的伤害大”应对应英文中的形容词短语“less devastating than”。
- 家又重新“站立”了起来：对应英文中的固定搭配“back on one's feet”。
- 变得不再阴云密布：这里为汉语里的习惯表达，直译成英文会引起理解上的障碍，应采用意译的策略，“where happiness reigned as before”。
- 野火烧不尽，春风吹又生：此处的翻译可联系前文提及的“家”的概念，“It may be burnt down by wildfire，but it will sprout again when the spring breeze blows．”
