三、英譯中:請將下列英文譯為中文。(20 分)
Litigation is as American as apple pie, though it does not leave so sweet a taste in the mouth of most Americans. Indeed, many view the legal profession with disdain, especially personal injury lawyers who often encourage the public to sue over personal injuries, making them believe that easy money can be had.

看到這段英文,應首先拆解句型。第一句話包含一個著名的比喻 "as American as apple pie"(像蘋果派一樣具美國特色),這需要轉換為通順的中文。句子的後半段 "does not leave so sweet a taste in the mouth" 延續了食物的比喻,指其帶來的感受並不甜美。 第二句中,"view ... with disdain" 是關鍵動詞片語,表達「輕視、鄙視」之意。"personal injury lawyers" 專指「人身傷害律師」,"easy money can be had" 則意味著「有輕鬆錢可賺」或「不勞而獲」。翻譯時,應注意中文前後句的連貫性,並且把原本略帶諷刺的語氣適當地呈現出來。

【考點分析】
- 文化俚語的翻譯:"as American as apple pie" 需譯出「極具美國特色」之意,不宜僅作字面直譯。
- 隱喻的連貫性:"taste in the mouth" 承接前文派的味道,引申為「留下的感受」。
