2018年12月英語六級(jí)翻譯練習(xí)：電視速度

　　請(qǐng)將下面這段話翻譯成英文：

　　電視的速度不能由看電視的人來控制;只有它的開始與結(jié)束在他的掌握中，因?yàn)樗�可以把開關(guān)打開或按下。他不能慢放一個(gè)令人愉快的節(jié)目，也不能快放一個(gè)令人乏味的節(jié)目。如果有一個(gè)字或一個(gè)詞組沒聽懂，他也不能“倒回去”再聽一次。節(jié)目無動(dòng)于衷地進(jìn)行著，而錯(cuò)過的就這樣錯(cuò)過了，沒看懂的也沒機(jī)會(huì)看懂了。

　　看電視的人也不能像他在閱讀時(shí)通常做的那樣，將他接收到的材料轉(zhuǎn)化為一種可能適合他的特殊感情需求的形式。圖像變化得太快。他不可能用他的想象給電視中飾演的人和事賦予個(gè)人意義，以幫助他理解和解決自己生活中的關(guān)系和沖突;他被節(jié)目制作者的想象力控制住了�？措娨晻r(shí)，眼睛和耳朵被稍縱即逝的圖像和聲音控制住了。

　　參考譯文

　　The pace of the television experience cannot be controlled by the viewer; only its beginning and end are within his control as he clicks the knob on and off. He cannot slow down a delightful program or speed up a dreary one. He cannot “turn back” if a word or phrase is not understood. The program moves inexorably forward, and what is lost or misunderstood remains so.

　　Nor can the television viewer readily transform the material he receives into a form that might suit his particular emotional needs, as he invariably does with material he reads. The images move too quickly. He cannot use his own imagination to invest the people and events portrayed on television with the personal meanings that would help him understand and resolve relationships and conflicts in his own life; he is under the power of the imagination of the show’s creators. In the television experience the eyes and ears are overwhelmed with the immediacy of sights and sounds.
