翻译题目：
翻译家金堤先生过世后，告别活动“颇为不拘一格”。其家人的告别邀请信中写道：“大家邀请各位朋友和大家一块庆祝他87年丰富的生活，纪念他一丝不苟的精神。留几句话与他告别，喝一杯故乡的酒为他送行。” 那天，在音乐和花丛中，金先生的从容和欢乐，通过家人和朋友的娓娓诉说，弥漫开来，温暖着每一个人。 如此的告别，不免叫人心生感喟：一般，与逝者告别，总是是到那个肃穆的地方：哀乐低回，大家踽踽而过，低头，默哀，垂泪，悲不自胜，那哀伤似比寒风更彻骨。
参考译文：
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.
翻译分析：
1、词语选择：
“颇为不拘一格”被翻译为“rather unconventional”，如此表达既保留了原文的意思，又在英文中传达了这种活动的非传统性质。
“从容和欢乐”被翻译为“ease and joy”，这两个词简洁而有效地传达了金先生在活动中的情绪状况。
2、句式结构：
原文中的长句在翻译时进行了适合的拆分，使得英文句子结构愈加明确，易于理解。比如，“其家人的告别邀请信中写道”和引号内的内容被单独处置为一个完整的句子，以突出其重要程度。
在描述告别场景时，用了“amidst music and flowers”这一介词短语，简洁地描绘了当时的环境。
3、文化转译：
原文中提到的“喝一杯故乡的酒为他送行”这一具备中国特点的风俗，在翻译时保留了其文化内涵，翻译为“toast with a glass of hometown liquor”，使英文读者也能感觉到这一风俗的深意。
对于“哀乐低回，大家踽踽而过”如此的描述，翻译时维持了其文学色彩，用“melancholy music plays, people shuffle slowly past”来传达原文的哀伤环境。
