♦ 她那时候还太年轻，不知道所有命运赠送的礼物，早已在暗中标好了价格。
♦英文译文
译法一：She was still too young to know that life never gives anything for nothing, and that a price is always exacted for what fate bestows.
译法二：She was too young to realize that all the gifts fate gives come with a price tag already attached.
译法三：She didn’t yet know that every gift of destiny has its hidden cost.
【出处：茨威格《断头王后》（Stefan Zweig, Marie Antoinette）。中文流行译本有多种，此处以英文回译对比】
♦注释：原文是著名的德语金句，中文译本广为流传。此处讨论英译时，不同译者对“标好了价格”的处理：译法一用 nothing for nothing / price exacted，严谨但稍显学术；译法二用 price tag already attached，用“标签”意象更现代、更形象；译法三用 hidden cost，最简洁。学习点：隐喻“标价”的翻译：直译 price tag 比抽象译法更生动，且英语中 price tag 可引申为“代价”。#翻译##CATTI##四六级英语##考研英语##雅思##IELTS#
