2019年考研英语（二）翻译真题：
```
It is easy to underestimate English writer James Herriot. He had such a pleasant, readable style that one might think that anyone could imitate it. How many times have I heard people say, “I could write a book, I just haven’t the time” asily said. Not so easily done. James Herriot, contrary to popular opinion did not find it easy in his early days of, as he put it, “having a go at the writing game”.
```
参考译文：
容易低估英国作家詹姆斯·赫里欧。他的作品有一种令人愉快、易读的风格，以至于人们可能会认为任何人都能模仿。我听过多少次人们说：“我能写一本书，只是没有时间。”这话说起来容易，但做起来难。与普遍的看法相反，詹姆斯·赫里欧在早期并不觉得写作容易，用他的话说，是“尝试写作游戏”。
