　　My Dream

　　My dream has always been to work somewhere in an area between fashion and publishing. Two years before graduating from secondary school, I took a sewing and design course thinking that I would move on to a fashion design course. However, during that course I realized that I was not good enough in this area to compete with other creative personalities in the future, so I decided that it was not the right path for me. Before applying for university I told everyone that I would study journalism, because writing was, and still is, one of my favourite activities. But, to be absolutely honest, I said it, because I thought that fashion and me together was just a dream - I knew that no one, apart from myself, could imagine me in the fashion industry at all!

　　我的夢(mèng)想一直是在時(shí)裝設(shè)計(jì)和出版界之間找尋一個(gè)工作。在我中學(xué)畢業(yè)的兩年前，我參加了一個(gè)縫紉和設(shè)計(jì)課程，原以為我能再繼續(xù)參加一個(gè)時(shí)裝設(shè)計(jì)的課程。然而，就在這個(gè)課程上，我意識(shí)到，將來在這個(gè)領(lǐng)域，我是無法和那些富于創(chuàng)新精神的精英們相媲美的。于是，我斷定到這條路走不通。在申請(qǐng)上大學(xué)之前，我和所有人都講，我想學(xué)新聞學(xué)，因?yàn)�，寫作曾�?jīng)是，現(xiàn)在也是我最喜歡的活動(dòng)之一。但是，說實(shí)話，我之所以這樣說，是因?yàn)槲乙詾閺氖聲r(shí)裝設(shè)計(jì)不過是一個(gè)夢(mèng)想，我也知道，除了我之外，沒有人能想象出我會(huì)從事時(shí)裝設(shè)計(jì)的工作。

　　【翻譯解析】

　　1. My dream has always been to work somewhere in an area between fashion and publishing.

　　參考譯文：我的夢(mèng)想一直是在時(shí)裝設(shè)計(jì)和出版界之間找尋一個(gè)工作。

　　句子分析：這個(gè)句子是簡(jiǎn)單句，句子主干是My dream has always been to work，后面的部分是狀語。難點(diǎn)的地方在于狀語部分somewhere in an area between fashion and publishing, 這里somewhere不需要翻譯出來避免后面的介詞短語重復(fù)，抽象理解為在時(shí)尚設(shè)計(jì)和出版界之間找尋一個(gè)工作。

　　2. Two years before graduating from secondary school, I took a sewing and design course thinking that I would move on to a fashion design course.

　　參考譯文：在我中學(xué)畢業(yè)的兩年前，我參加了一個(gè)縫紉和設(shè)計(jì)課程，原以為我能再繼續(xù)參加一個(gè)時(shí)裝設(shè)計(jì)的課程。

　　句子分析：句子主干為I took a sewing and design course 后面是現(xiàn)在分詞短語thinking that I would move on to a fashion design course作伴隨狀語。

　　3. However, during that course I realized that I was not good enough in this area to compete with other creative personalities in the future, so I decided that it was not the right path for me.

　　參考譯文：然而，就在這個(gè)課程上，我意識(shí)到，將來在這個(gè)領(lǐng)域，我是無法和那些富于創(chuàng)新精神的精英們相媲美的。于是，我斷定到這條路走不通。

　　句子分析：句子結(jié)構(gòu)是i realized +that 引導(dǎo)的賓語從句，so引導(dǎo)的結(jié)果狀語從句，結(jié)果狀語從句中that引導(dǎo)賓語從句。第一個(gè)賓語從句中主干是I was not good enough in this area，其后有動(dòng)詞不定式短語做目的狀語。

　　4. Before applying for university I told everyone that I would study journalism, because writing was, and still is, one of my favourite activities.

　　參考譯文：在申請(qǐng)上大學(xué)之前，我和所有人都講，我想學(xué)新聞學(xué)，因?yàn)椋瑢懽髟��?jīng)是，現(xiàn)在也是我最喜歡的活動(dòng)之一。

　　句子分析：句子結(jié)構(gòu)為i told everyone +that引導(dǎo)的賓語從句，because引導(dǎo)的狀語從句。

　　5. But, to be absolutely honest, I said it, because I thought that fashion and me together was just a dream - I knew that no one, apart from myself, could imagine me in the fashion industry at all!

　　參考譯文：但是，說實(shí)話，我之所以這樣說，是因?yàn)槲乙詾閺氖聲r(shí)裝設(shè)計(jì)不過是一個(gè)夢(mèng)想，我也知道，除了我之外，沒有人能想象出我會(huì)從事時(shí)裝設(shè)計(jì)的工作

　　句子分析：本句主句為i said it ，其后又because 引導(dǎo)原因狀語從句，原因狀語從句中that 引導(dǎo)了賓語從句。破折號(hào)之后的句子結(jié)構(gòu)為I know +that引導(dǎo)的賓語從句。
