翻譯題目：

翻譯家金堤先生過世后，告別活動“頗為不拘一格”。其家人的告別邀請信中寫道：“大家邀請各位朋友和大家一塊慶祝他87年豐富的生活，紀念他一絲不茍的精神。留幾句話與他告別，喝一杯故鄉的酒為他送行?！?那天，在音樂和花叢中，金先生的從容和歡樂，通過家人和朋友的娓娓訴說，彌漫開來，溫暖著每一個人。 如此的告別，不免叫人心生感喟：一般，與逝者告別，總是是到那個肅穆的地方：哀樂低回，大家踽踽而過，低頭，默哀，垂淚，悲不自勝，那哀傷似比寒風更徹骨。

參考譯文：

After the death of translator Jin Di, the farewell ceremony was "rather unconventional". In the invitation letter of his family, it was written: "We invite all friends to celebrate his rich life of 87 years with us, and commemorate his meticulous spirit. Say a few words to bid farewell to him, and toast with a glass of hometown liquor." On that day, in the midst of music and flowers, Jin's ease and joy spread through the words of his family and friends, warming everyone. Such a farewell inevitably makes people feel sad: Usually, bidding farewell to the deceased often goes to that solemn place: the sad music echoing, people shuffling past, bowing their heads, mourning silently, weeping, overwhelmed with grief, and the sadness seems to be more piercing than the cold wind.

翻譯分析：

1、詞語選擇：

“頗為不拘一格”被翻譯為“rather unconventional”，如此表達既保留了原文的意思，又在英文中傳達了這種活動的非傳統性質。

“從容和歡樂”被翻譯為“ease and joy”，這兩個詞簡潔而有效地傳達了金先生在活動中的情緒狀況。

2、句式結構：

原文中的長句在翻譯時進行了適合的拆分，使得英文句子結構愈加明確，易于理解。比如，“其家人的告別邀請信中寫道”和引號內的內容被單獨處置為一個完整的句子，以突出其重要程度。

在描述告別場景時，用了“amidst music and flowers”這一介詞短語，簡潔地描繪了當時的環境。

3、文化轉譯：

原文中提到的“喝一杯故鄉的酒為他送行”這一具備中國特點的風俗，在翻譯時保留了其文化內涵，翻譯為“toast with a glass of hometown liquor”，使英文讀者也能感覺到這一風俗的深意。

對于“哀樂低回，大家踽踽而過”如此的描述，翻譯時維持了其文學色彩，用“melancholy music plays, people shuffle slowly past”來傳達原文的哀傷環境。
