  英語四級翻譯專項練習題講解

  1.第1句可直譯為 For the past decade, China's real estate developed rapidly,但如果以時間“過去十年”作為句子主語,套用句型time + see/witness + sth.則表達更加生動形象。此時see/witness表“經歷,以……為特點”之義。本句可譯為The past decade has witnessed...。

  2.第2句中的“買房卻不是一件容易的事情”可譯為buying a house is not an easy thing,但套用 it is + a. + to do sth.句型來翻譯“做某事是怎麼樣的”會更符合英文的表達習慣,故該句宜譯作it is quite difficult for many people to buy a house。

  3.在第4句中,“鑑於此種情況”既可直譯為In view of the situation,也可譯為Given this situation,或是根據上下文轉譯為For this reason。“來抑制房價球快增長目的,故用不定式短語作狀語,譯作to prevent the housing price from rising too fast;“包括整頓......”起補充說明的作用,可譯為 including regulating...。

  4.在翻譯最後一句時,應轉換主語為“初步成效”,用被動語態譯出更符合英文表達習慣,譯作preliminary effects have been achieved...。狀語“在部分城市”表達為in some cities,置於句末。

  隨著生活水平的提高,保健品***health care products***日益受到中國人的喜愛。人們花費大量金錢來購買能量飲料、維生素藥片和美容飲品。這些保健品宣稱含有抗氧化物***antioxidants***,能使人增強體質、延緩衰老。 然而,最近有研究表明抗氧化物可能只是一個醫學童話。幾乎沒有什麼資料可以證明抗氧化物可以預防疾病。 專家認為,要打抗氧化作用***oxidative stress***,就要多運動,多吃水果和蔬菜。

  英語四級翻譯專項練習題講解

  1.第1句中,“隨著生活水平的提高”是狀語,可語為狀語從句as the living standards improve,也可譯為介詞短語with the improvement of the living standards;“保健品H益受到中國人的喜愛”是句中的主體,翻譯時,可沿用漢語句中的表達結構,譯為health care products become increasingly popular withChinese people,也可將主語轉換為中國人***Chinese people***,將保健品轉換為賓語,譯為Chinese peopletend to welcome health care products。

  2.第2句中的謂賓結構“花費大量金錢來購買……”可套用英講常用表達spend time/money ***in*** doing sth.,譯為spend quite a large sum of money ***in*** buying。

  3.第3句“這些保健品宜稱古有抗氧化物,能使人......”中包含3個動詞,如果逐字對譯為These health careproducts claim that they contain... and make people...則稍顯生硬。分析該句可知,“能使人增強體質、延緩衰老”說的是抗氧化物***antioxidante***的作用,故在翻譯時,可將其轉譯成抗氧化物的定語從句。

  4.第5句的前半部分的“幾乎沒有什麼數椐”可處理成There be結構,“幾乎沒有”用little表達;可以證明抗氧化物可以預防疾病”是補充說明“數椐”的情況,可用分詞短語supporting...表達,其中的“抗氧化物可以......”說的是抗氧化物的作用,譯作名詞短語the use of antioxidants to...簡潔明瞭,“可以預防疾病”表目的,用不定式短語to protect against diseases 來表達。
