參考譯文
Xi'an is the capital of 13 ancient Chinese dynasties. It is no doubt the perfect representative of Chinese histoiy and culture. With the longest history of being a capital and the greatest influence in China's history, it tops all the Chinese ancient capitals. It is the starting point of the Silk Road as well as the birthplace of Chinese culture. Filled with amazing historic wonders, Xi'an is attracting a large number of tourists from home and abroad. It boasts the oldest and most spectacular museums and temples in China, among which the most famous is the 2000-year-old Terracotta Warriors Museum.
表達難點
1.第2句中的狀語“毫無疑問”修飾整句話時,可譯為it is no doubt that+從句,也可將no doubt置于系動詞is和名詞之間,譯作it is no doubt the perfect representative…。這樣的表述更簡潔。
2.第3句“西安居于‘中國古都’之首,在中國歷建都時間最長,影響力”中,可以將“建都時間最長,影響力”看作是“居于‘中國古都’之首”的伴隨狀語,用介詞短語with the longest history…and the greatest influence 來表達。
3.第5句中的“到處都是令人驚嘆的歷史奇觀”是后一分句“吸引……游客”的原因所在,這里可以用as或for 引導原因狀語從句來表達,也可用一個簡單的分詞短語filled with…來表狀態(tài),語義表達簡潔明了。
4.最后一句中的“那里有著”可以直譯為there be句型,但過于平淡,宜譯作It boasts…,boast取“自豪地擁有”之義,表達較為生動!捌渲小边@個分句可用among which引導非限制性定語從句來表達,使得句子結構緊湊,表達流暢。
【篇三】2021年12月大學英語四級翻譯練習題
英語四級翻譯練習題:漢語橋“漢語橋”世界大學生中文比賽(the "Chinese Bridge" Chinese Proficiency Competition for Foreign College Students)是由國家漢辦(the Office of Chinese Language Council International)主辦的大規(guī)模國際性比賽。到目前為止,這個一年一度的比賽已經(jīng)成功舉辦了12屆。今年的決賽共有來自77個不同國家的123名選手(contestant)參加。該賽旨在激發(fā)各國學生學習漢語的興趣及加強世界對漢語和中國文化的了解。 同時,這個比賽也建立起中國年輕大學生和其他國家學生之間溝通的橋梁。
參考譯文
The "Chinese Bridge" Chinese Proficiency Competition for Foreign College Students is a large-scale international competition sponsored by the Office of Chinese Language Council International So far this yearly event has been successfully held for 12 times. A total of 123 contestants from 77 different countries participated in the finals this year. The "Chinese Bridge" Competition aims to arouse the interest of students in various countries in learning Chinese and strengthen the world's understanding of Chinese language and culture. It also builds a communication bridge between young college students of China and other countries.
表達難點
1.第1句中的定語“由國家漢辦主辦的”較長,故將其處理成后置定語,用過去分詞短語sponsored by…引出,表被動。
2.第2句中的“已經(jīng)成功舉辦了12屆”形式上為主動句,其含義卻表被動,譯成英文時要采用被動語態(tài),故譯作has been successful held for 12 times.
3.第3句“今年的決賽共有來自77個不同國家的123名選手參加”如果直譯成the finals of this year had 123 contestants…,不符合英文表達習慣:翻譯時,先確定好主要結構(a total of 123 contestants participated in the finals)。“來自77個不同國家的”作主語的后置定語,用介詞短語from 77 different countries來表達。時間狀語“今年”置于句末。
4.最后一句中的“建立起中國年輕大學生和其他國家學生之間溝通的橋梁”如果逐字對譯為builds a communication bridge between Chinese young college students and students in other countries則顯重復啰嗦。故“省譯”兩個“學生”中的一個,把“中國”和“其他國家”處理成后置定語,表達為between young college students of China and other countries.

英語四級翻譯練習題:白色隨著中國的改革開放,如今很多年輕人都喜歡舉行西式婚禮。新娘在婚禮上穿著白色婚紗,因為白色被認為是純潔的象征。然而,在中國傳統(tǒng)文化中,白色經(jīng)常是葬禮上使用的顏色。因此務必記住,白花一定不要用作祝人康復的禮物,尤其不要送給老年人或危重病人。同樣,禮金也不能裝在白色信封里,而要裝在紅色信封里。
參考譯文:
With China’s reform and opening up, many young people tend to hold Western-style weddings these days. The bride wears a white wedding dress at the wedding, because white is considered as a symbol of purity. However, in traditional Chinese culture, white is often used in funerals, so be sure to remember that white flowers must not be used as a gift to the patient, especially not to the seniors or patients in critical conditions. Similarly, the cash gift cannot be packed in a white envelope, but in a red envelope.
