外國人名漢譯的根本原則是“名從主人”，外國人的中文名字絕大多數都是譯者翻譯或轉寫成中文的，需要規範的也是這些名字漢譯時出現的種種問題。在這種情況下，“名從主人”意味着譯者在翻譯外國人的姓名時，應遵循他們認可的譯名原則或規範。

太陽把土地照得很溫和

下方松林處傳來壓抑的馬戲團音樂聲時氣氛顯得更有牧歌意味

我坐著聆聽享受夕陽餘照滿足地望著老馬貪婪的啃草

青草上長滿野花---桔梗花百里香和許多不知名的鮮豔小花

我不熟悉的是草原上的紛攘生命---全地面似乎全飛滿了蝴蝶---褐色藍色黃色花彩色紅色龜色

他們的顏色在花叢間發光每一隻都闔上又開張美麗的翅翼

連青草根部也是活生生的無數蚱蜢在跳來躍起

空中則蜜蜂嗡嗡全在我身邊飛掠

猶如牠們有牠們自己的路徑

The  ground was warm with the day's sun. 

Faintly from below the belt of pines came the circus music, muted and made more musical by the distance. I sat  listening , enjoying the last of the sunshine, while I  contentedly watched the now greedy grazing of the old stallion. The grass was thick with familiar meadow flowers--harebells, thyme,eyebright, and, where the scythe had not yet passed, the foaming white and yellow of parsley and buttercups. What was not so familiar was the fluttering, rustling life of the meadow: the whole surface of the field seemed moving with butterflies--meadow browns, blues, sulphurs, fritillaries, and a few of my own Vanessas, the red admirals and tortoise-shells. Their colours flickered among the flowers, each vanishing momentarily as it clung and folded, then opening to its own bright colour as it fluttered on.  

Even the  green roots of the grass were alive, as countless grasshoppers hopped and fiddled there. The air droned with bees, all zooming past me, I noticed, on the same purpodseful track, as if on some apian autobahn of their own.
