2006年第2篇第21句
考研阅读逐句翻译
They all seem to look alike (though they come from all over) – lean, pointed, dedicated faces, wearing jeans and sandals, eating their buns and bedding down for the night on the flagstones outside the theatre to buy the 20 seats and 80 standing-room tickets held for the sleepers and sold to them when the box office opens at 10:30 a.m.
词汇：
lean //adj. 清瘦的
pointed //adj. 有尖的；尖锐的，直截了当的
bun //n. 小圆面包，表面有霜糖的小蛋糕
flagstone //n. 铺路的石板
结构：
They all seem to look alike （主句）//(though they come from all over) （though让步状语从句）// – lean, pointed, dedicated faces, wearing jeans and sandals, eating their buns and bedding down for the night on the flagstones outside the theatre to buy the 20 seats and 80 standing-room tickets （名词短语作同位语）//held for the sleepers and sold to them（held…and sold…并列的两个过去分词短语作定语） //when the box office opens at 10:30 a.m（when时间状语从句）.
译文：
他们个个看起来都一样（尽管来自四面八方）——面容清瘦、棱角分明、神情执着，穿着牛仔、拖着凉鞋，啃着面包，晚上睡在剧院外石板上，等上午10点半售票处开门，购买专门为这些露宿剧院外的人预留的20张坐票和80张站票。
翻译思路：长句，拆分与组合
长句，拆分的时候，基本上是看到一些“拆分信号词”（引导词、连接词、介词、分词、标点等等）。比如这句话，肯定先看到的是红色的几个“拆分信号词”：
They all seem to look alike (// though they come from all over) – // lean, pointed, dedicated faces, wearing jeans and sandals, eating their buns and bedding down for the night on the flagstones outside the theatre to buy the 20 seats and 80 standing-room tickets held for the sleepers and sold to them // when the box office opens at 10:30 a.m.
这样，大概得到这个句子的骨架结构：
They all seem to look alike (though they come from all over)（他们看起来一样，尽管…） – （破折号后面这一大堆内容都应该在说“他们看起来是怎样一样的”） when the box office opens at 10:30 a.m.
再进一步理解，只看破折号后面，尤其是碰到and并列，要弄清谁和谁在并列，请看：
– lean, pointed, dedicated faces, wearing jeans // and（这个and并列的只是牛仔和拖鞋） sandals, eating their buns // and （这个and并列的内容就多了，因为and后面是bedding…，有-ing形式，所以，至少可以瞬间看到三个-ing结尾的词在并列，分别是wearing…, eating…and bedding。还有一个必须要注意的是lean, pointed, dedicated是三个形容词并列，都修饰faces，有人可能会看成lean，pointed, dedicated faces三个并列。道理很简单，lean, pointed是形容词，不能与名词短语dedicated faces并列，所以只能是三个形容词修饰名词faces，这个名词短语又与后面三个-ing名词短语并列）bedding down for the night on the flagstones outside the theatre // to （这里不定式短语拆分一下，看清它是表目的，就是前面说他们过夜bedding..，是为了to buy…） buy the 20 seats and 80 standing-room tickets // （这个过去分词短语不容易看出来，是两个过去分词短语并列，作定语）held for the sleepers and sold to them // when the box office opens at 10:30 a.m.
拆分以后，基本上对这个句子的大意和逻辑都了解了，再按照汉语习惯，翻译出来，排一下逻辑，把句子说得更通顺一点，组合也就完成了。
