2024年12月英语六级翻译预测:负荆请罪

廉颇和蔺相如都是赵国人,廉颇是赵国大将,蔺相如出身低微,但在对秦国的斗争中多次建立功勋,被拜为上卿,官位高于廉颇。廉颇不服,屡屡找茬子羞辱蔺相如。蔺相如为国家计,顾全大局,总是退让。后来廉颇知道了,蔺相如屡屡退让,不是怕他,而是担心将相不和,秦国会乘机侵略赵国。那样,赵国就会灭亡,老百姓就会遭殃。此事感动了廉颇,于是他身背荆杖到蔺相如府上请罪。后来多用此典指犯了错误又主动承认错误、改正错误的举动。

参考译文:

Historic records have it that Lian Po and Ling Xiangru were courtiers of the State of Zhao. Lian Po was the famous general at the time. Born humbly, Ling Xiangru was promoted to the position higher than Lian Po’s for his outstanding contributions in the struggles against the State of Qin. This made Lian Po jealous and tried to slight Ling Xiangru, who thought that if he and Lian Po were in discord or conflict, then the State of Qin would take the opportunity to invade the State of Zhao. Therefore, Ling Xiangru always tried to avoid any possible conflict with the general. Having learned of this, Lian Po realized that he was wrong and went to Ling Xiangru’s mansion to make apology by carrying a twig and asking Ling Xiangru to beat him for his wrong doings.
