官方參考譯文
我同情《長眠》這部影片中的男管家槐壳。馬洛探長發(fā)現(xiàn)了他講話前后有矛盾然低，就逼問道：“你犯了一個錯，對不务唐？”管家傷感而乖巧地答曰：“我犯下的錯可多去啦雳攘，先生∩馨ィ” 我又何嘗不是如此呢来农？我有點靈氣并且訓練有素，寫起東西來旁征博引崇堰，力求翔實沃于，自然就言多語失嘍。最近犯下的錯誤包括把杰弗瑞·馬丹的名字拼寫錯了——我給印廠打了個電話海诲，把更正告訴他們繁莹，可是我的那頁已經(jīng)開印了；我把唐納德·皮爾斯的信號曲“在潺潺的小溪旁”安到了理查德·陶波的頭上（陶波的信號曲自然是“你是我心中的喜悅”特幔。）對于這些錯誤咨演，以及過去犯的錯誤和今后會犯的錯誤，在下這廂有禮啦蚯斯。
單詞解析
第一句：I have sympathy for the butler in The Big Sleep.
我同情《長眠》這部影片中的男管家薄风。
1. Have sympathy for是一個固定表達，含義是“同情”拍嵌，注意介詞是for遭赂，如金融時報例句：
Even state-controlled media have sympathy for the coal bosses.
就連國有媒體也對煤老板們表示同情。
2. Butler [?b?tl?r] 男管家横辆。
3. The Big Sleep 電影《長眠》撇他。
第二句：Marlowe detects him in a contradiction and asks him aggressively, “You made a mistake, didn't you?”
馬洛探長發(fā)現(xiàn)了他講話前后有矛盾，就逼問道：“你犯了一個錯，對不困肩？”
1. Detect [d??tekt] 發(fā)現(xiàn)划纽；查明；偵察出锌畸，覺察勇劣；發(fā)覺，文中取義發(fā)現(xiàn)蹋绽，如金融時報例句：
The mistake is detected in a meaningless problem designed solely to elicit the mistake.
在一個毫無意義的問題中發(fā)現(xiàn)錯誤芭毙，而設計這個問題的唯一目的就是誘發(fā)錯誤。
2. Contradiction [?kɑ?ntr??d?k?n] 矛盾卸耘；反駁退敦；冰火相容；矛盾關系蚣抗。
3. Aggressively [???ɡres.?v.li] 侵略地侈百；攻擊地；有闖勁地翰铡；積極地钝域；進取地；有進取心地锭魔，ask sb aggressively可以翻譯為逼問例证。
第三句：To which the man replies, sadly and sweetly, “I make many mistakes, sir.”
管家傷感而乖巧地答曰：“我犯下的錯可多去啦，先生迷捧≈郑”
1. Which指的是前一句的問題“You made a mistake, didn't you?”，因為reply之后的介詞是to漠秋，所以前面是to which笙蒙。
2. Sweetly [?swi?tli] 令人愉快地；可愛地庆锦；氣味芬芳地捅位；順利地；順順當當?shù)亍?/p>
3.Make mistakes 犯錯搂抒，如漢英大詞典例句：

忙中不免出錯艇搀。
第四、五句：And so do I. I am, by instinct and training, a very specific writer, and so my errors are numerous.
我又何嘗不是如此呢求晶？我有點靈氣并且訓練有素中符，寫起東西來旁征博引，力求翔實誉帅，自然就言多語失嘍。
1. By instinct 出于本能，引申為有靈氣蚜锨。
2.?By training 訓練有素档插，如經(jīng)濟學人例句：
She is a sociologist by training.
她是一位訓練有素的社會學家。
3. A very specific writer直譯的話就是“一個很具體的作家”亚再，但是我們不會說某個作家很具體郭膛，這里的意思是“作家寫東西很具體，很詳盡”氛悬，所以意譯為“寫起東西來旁征博引则剃，力求翔實”。
4. Numerous [?nu?m?r?s]?眾多的如捅；許多的棍现。
第六句：Recent ones include misspelling Geoffrey Madan's name —I phoned the printers with a correction but my page had already gone to press — and crediting Richard Tauber with Donald Peers's signature-tune, “By a babbling brook” (Tauber's, of course, was “You are my heart's delight”).
最近犯下的錯誤包括把杰弗瑞·馬丹的名字拼寫錯了——我給印廠打了個電話，把更正告訴他們镜遣，可是我的那頁已經(jīng)開印了己肮；我把唐納德·皮爾斯的信號曲“在潺潺的小溪旁”安到了理查德·陶波的頭上（陶波的信號曲自然是“你是我心中的喜悅”。）
1. Recent ones include misspelling Geoffrey Madan's name這里的ones指代的是前面提到的errors悲关，英語不喜歡重復谎僻，所以用ones代替，翻譯的時候具體化翻譯為“錯誤”寓辱。
2. Misspelling [?m?s?spel??] 拼錯艘绍；錯拼。
3. Printer [?pr?nt?r] 打印機（尤指與計算機相連的）秫筏；印刷商诱鞠；印刷工人；印刷公司跳昼；印刷廠般甲，文中指的是印刷廠。

第七句：I apologise for these mistakes, and for others in the past, and for those to come.
對于這些錯誤畸肆，以及過去犯的錯誤和今后會犯的錯誤，在下這廂有禮啦宙址。
