“Poor thing,” the man said, “小題3:I must try to save your life.” He picked it up and looked for a warm place to put it in. 小題4:But how could he find one in such cold weather? So he decided to put the snake inside his clothes, right next to his heart.

點評：對于英譯漢的試題正確的做法是先弄清句子的結(jié)構(gòu)，然后結(jié)合上下文重新安排漢語的表達(dá)順序。作為考試解題，建議可以直譯的就直譯，只要把詞序調(diào)整一下，保證通順，不致引起誤解就好。如果不能直譯，可憑借各種翻譯技巧，在不偏離原文意思的前提下，對句子的結(jié)構(gòu)作一些變動。
