  英语四级翻译练习题(一):满月

  参考译文:

  In China, the One-Month-Old Feast of a baby is thefirst significant ceremony in his life. On the daywhen a baby is one month old, the families of thebaby invite their relatives and friends to celebratethe occasion together. Usually, the baby wears a doghat and tiger shoes, which indicates that the babywill be lucky for the whole life. The ceremony of One-Year-Old Catch on the first of the baby isalso of great characteristics. The families of the baby will lay out many things such as books,pens, ink, paper, money, foods, and toys for the baby to choose at will. According to thearticles the baby picks up, the families will make some predictions about his potential interestsand future career.

  1.在第2句中,状语“孩子满月那天”中的“孩子满月”可处理为定语从句,整个状语表达为On the day when a baby isone month old;主语“家人”指的是“孩子的家人”,故应采取增译法,将其译为过 the baby;“—起庆祝”的后面省略了“(孩子)满月”,故翻译时也要增译,但这里不必拖沓啰嗦地译成to celebrate that the baby is one month old,直接表达为 celebrate the occasion 更简洁明了。

  2.第3句中的“象征着孩子能幸运一生”可处理成非限制性定语从句which symbolizes/indicates that thebaby will be lucky for the whole life,或处理成分词短语symbolizing/indicating the baby's beinglucky for the whole life,作句中的伴随状语。

  3.第4句中的定语“孩子周岁那天的”可处理为后置的介词短语on the first birthday of the baby,修饰中心词“抓周仪式”。

  4.倒数第2句中的“摆上书、笔、墨、纸、钱币、食物、玩具等物品”,如果直译为lay out books...,toysand other things会使译文显得冗长,宜用中心词“物品”作宾语,具体物品名称则作补充说明,译为lay outmany things such as books, ...,and toys,使表达更为清晰顺畅。

  5.最后一句“根据……预测……”是一个无主语句,但根据上下文可知,此处“预测”的施动者是孩子的家人,故翻译时应增译主语the families。“根据......东西”可套用短语According to...来表达;其中“东西”的定语“孩子抓的”可后置,用定语从句picks up来表达。“兴趣爱好”的定语“孩子可能存在的”可译为 the baby'spotential,因前半句已有baby—词,为避免重复,the baby's可用物主代词his来代替。

  英语四级翻译练习题(三):慈禧

  与后宫(the imperial harem)其他许多女人不同,慈禧(Empress Dowager Cixi) 因读写汉字的能力而受重视。这给她提供了充足的机会来协助生病的皇帝处理国家日常事务。咸丰帝(Xianfeng Emperor)曾多次让慈禧读奏折(palace memorials) 给他听,并让她按照他的意愿在奏折上写批复。因此,慈禧对国家大事十分熟悉,并且从生病的皇帝那儿学会了管理国家的艺术。国内外的历史学家普遍都把她描述成王朝没落的罪人(sinner)。
