倘若让我写一本小说,以北平为背景,我不至于害怕,因为我可以捡着我知道的写,而躲开我不知道的。但让我把北平一一道来,我没办法。

【正确答案】:I have no misgivings about writing a novel with Peiping as its background because I can choose to write about what I am most familiar with while shying away from what is less known to me.【解析】原句是主从复合句,“倘若……”是条件从句,“因为……”是原因从句。英译时将条件从句省去,misgiving表示“担忧,忧虑”,原文的动词“以……为背景”改作介词短语with Peiping as its background。to shy away from…表示“避开”。
