2019年CET6考试翻译练习题：生活

　　我的生活曾经是悲苦的，黑暗的。然而朋友们把多量的同情，多量的爱，多量的欢乐，多量的眼泪分了给我，这 些东西都是生存所必需的。这些不要报答的慷慨的施舍，使我的生活里也有了温暖，有了幸福。我默默地接受了它们。我并不曾说过一句感激的话，我 也没有做过一件报答的行为。但是朋友们却不把自私的形容词加到我的身上。对于我，他们太慷慨了。

　　参考译文

　　There was a time when my life was miserable and gloomy.My friends then gave me in large quantities sympathy,love,joy and tears—things essential for existence.It is due to their bountiful free gifts that I also have my share of warmth and happiness in my life.I accepted their kindness quietly without ever saying a word of thanks and without ever doing anything in return.In spite of that,my friends never used the epithet”self-centered ”when referring to me.They are only too generous towards me.
