向日葵是我們常見的一種植物，古關於向日葵有太多美麗的傳說和故事，下面，小編爲大家送上一篇向日葵相關的2018專八翻譯預測題，歡迎使用。
中文原文：
我特別喜歡他的那幅《向日葵》，朵朵黃花有如明亮的珍珠，耀人眼日，但孤零零插在花瓶裏，配着黃色的背景，給人的是種淒涼的感覺，似乎是盛宴散後，燈燭未滅的.那種空蕩蕩的光景，令人爲之心沉。我原是愛看向日葵的，每天清晨看它們緩緩轉向陽光，灑着露珠，是那樣的楚楚可憐亦復可愛。如今得了這幅畫便把它裝上鏡框，掛在寓所餐室裏。向口葵襯在一片明亮亮的黃色陽光裏，掛在漆成墨綠色的牆壁上。宛如婷婷佇立在一望無際的原野中。特別怡目，但又顯得孤清。每天我就這樣坐在這幅畫的對面，看到了歡欣，也嚐到了寂寞。以後我讀了歐文·斯通的《生活的渴望》，是關於梵高短暫一生的傳記。他只活了三十七歲;半生在探索色彩的顛狂中生活，最後自殺了。他不善謀生，但在藝術上卻走出了自己的道路，雖然到死後很久，才爲人們所承認。我讀了這本書，爲他執著的生涯所感動，因此更寶貴他那畫得含蓄多姿的向日葵。我似乎懂得了他的畫爲什麼一半歡欣，一半寂寞的道理。
Translation:
I like his painting Sunflowers in particular, for each yellow flower is glittering like a pearl, but with the blossoms held lonesome in a vase against the yellow background, it manifests a dreary scene, which is as vacant as a finished banquet and only the candles are left burning, making us dekected. I love sunflowers and enjoy watching them turn their faces towards the sun in the morning, dripping with dew drops, so delicate and charming. Now, I have frame this painting and hung it on the wall of the dining room in my flat. Hung on the dark-green-painted wall, the sunflowers are as if standing in an endless field bathed in bright golden sunshine, looking exceptionally pleasant to the eye but giving a sense of loneliness as well.
