Question

将下面的句子翻译成英语。

Our Sunday drives, interrupted now and again by a flat tire or by getting stuck in the mud, opened the world to us. Pavements were being rapidly extended. As an interim measure a single lane would be paved, adhering to one side of the road for a few miles and then switching to the other side. Travelers in either direction would use the paved lane, and he for whom it was the left lane would move over onto the dirt in the infrequent event of an oncoming car or wagon. The freedom of access and movement was thus double what a two-lane pavement could have afforded by the same date.

Answer 1

机器翻译的，狗屁不通。

一点意见:

我对这段文字的理解在大方向上有点不同

首句的drives
我不会当作驾驶来解释
而是当作为'试行的解决方法'

在这基础上
opened the world to us可理解为'行得通','奏效'的意思

至於 interrupted now and again by a flat tire or by getting stuck in the mud,
先不要视作发生在作者身上的事故
而是星期日试行计划当天有些驾驶者所遇到的问题

后面的数句
试试以一些临时的道路安排及措施来理解

留意最后的一句
The freedom of access and movement was thus double what a two-lane pavement
could have afforded by the same date.
这显然是指道路应付交通流量的能力得到改善(...thus double what a ...could have afforded...)

***************************
试试朝这个方向去理解
以你本身的译文来说
应可应付自如

希望这些意见对你有所帮助

Answer 2

我们星期天开车,打断了由轮胎或者被困在泥里,打开了世界。人行道被迅速扩展。作为一个单一的车道的临时措施,将秉承路的一侧为几英里,然后切换到另一边。旅行者在两个方向会使用铺设小巷,谁是左线会挪到灰尘在罕见的事件的车子或马车上。自由的访问和运动是什么这样双车道上的人行道上能提供相同的日期
