TRANSLATION & USE OF ENGLISH – KLUCZ 2011
Za wyróżnienia przyznajemy jeden punkt a drugi za bezbłędne przetłumaczenie reszty zdania (w tym przypadku
można użyć kryterium negatywnego braku błędów – ale wymagając jednak poprawności). We fragmentach
wyróżnionych chodzi o formę najbardziej idiomatyczną i naturalną. Zatem ocena oparta jest o kryterium
pozytywne (forma najwłaściwsza), a nie jak na ogół w testach gramatycznych negatywne (brak błędu). Sumę
(od 0 do 3) punktów za dane zadanie wpisujemy na marginesie obok numeru zadania. Proszę o zaznaczenie
powodu nie zaliczenia punktu "za resztę zdania" – w przypadkach wątpliwości.

Stephen awoke at about 5.30 a.m. He seemed to have been heavily, dreamlessly
asleep, but as soon as he came to, his nightmare started again. He forced himself to use
his mind constructively, to put the past firmly behind him and see what he could do
about the future.
He washed, shaved, dressed and missed college breakfast, pedalling to
Oxford on his ancient bicycle, the preferred mode of transportation in a
city blocked solid with juggernaut lorries in one-way systems. He left the
bicycle padlocked to the station railings. There were as many bicycles
standing in the ranks as there are cars in other railway stations.
He caught the 8.17 so favoured by those who commute from Oxford to
London every day. All the people having breakfast seemed to know each
other and Stephen felt like an uninvited guest at a party. The ticket
collector bustled through the buffet car and clipped Stephen's first-class
ticket. The man opposite Stephen produced a second-class ticket from
behind his copy of the Financial Times. The collector clipped it grudgingly.
'Have to go back to a second-class compartment when you've finished your
breakfast, sir. The restaurant car is first class, you know.'
Stephen considered the implication of these remarks, watching the flat
Berkshire countryside jolt past as his coffee-cup lurched unsampled in its
saucer before he turned to the morning papers. 'The Times carried no news
of Prospecta Oil that morning. It was, he supposed, only a little story, even
a dull one. Just another shady business enterprise collapsed in double-quick
order, not kidnap or arson or even rape: nothing there to hold the attention
of the front page for long. Not a story he would have given a second
thought to but for his own involvement, which gave it all the makings of a
personal tragedy.
At Paddington he pushed through the ants rushing round the forecourt. He
was glad he had chosen the closeted life of Oxford or, more accurately,
that it had chosen him. He had never come to terms with London—he found
it large and impersonal, and he always took a taxi everywhere for fear of
getting lost on the buses or the underground.
Why ever didn't they number their streets so Americans would know where they were
'The Times orffice, Printing House Square.'
The cabby nodded and moved his black Austin deftly down the Bayswater Road, alongside a
rain-sodden Hyde Park. The crocuses at Marble Arch looked sullen and battered, splayed
wetly on the close grass.
