今天“高斋翻硕”给大家分享张培基译《欣赏自己》节选的单词解析。
原文
不怕直说，我是相当欣赏自己的。我承认自己有许多不如人的地方，但也知道并不老是这样差劲。所以，我做了一件事，写了一篇文章，只要自觉还不错我可以乐上几天，遇有人赞，更飘飘然得不像话；甚至还会忘其所以，插上几句自夸的话。能欣赏自己，才能敬业乐业，写文章的人，若老是觉得自己的文章不行，我不相信他有信心涂下去。卖文的，更不必说了。
张培基译文
Frankly, I very much appreciate myself. Yes, I admit I"m in many respects not as good as other people, but I don"t think I"m always no good. When I find what I"ve done or written is okay, I"ll remain pleased with myself for quite a few days, and, in case I receive praise for it, I"ll even become so swollen-headed as to add a few words to glorify myself.
Self-appreciation is therefore the key to professional dedication and enjoyment of work. One will lose confidence in continuing with writing when he ceases to admire his own essays. Needless to say, the same is true of those who make a living with their pen.
