句子精练二
当你在积雪初融的高原上走过，看见平坦的大地上傲然挺立这么一株或一排白杨树，难道你觉得树只是树?难道你就不想到它的朴质，严肃，坚强不屈，至少也象征了北方的农民?
When youtrudgethrough the melting snow ofthe highland and see one or a row of white poplars standing proudly on the vastplains, how could you look upon them as nothing but mere trees? How could youforget that with all theirsimplicity,earnestness and unyieldingness,they are symbolic of our peasants in the North? （张培基译）
评：细读名家的译文，我们不难发现有许多经常指出，如“走”译为“trudge”，几个抽象名词的使用等等。
