2015年12月英语四级翻译练习：互联网创业

　　2.第3句中的定语“桂林一所大学的”较长，故将其处理成后置定语，用介词短语from a university in Guilin来表达。“注册了一个微信送餐账号”中，“微信”是一个网络平台，表地点，译作on WeChat，置于中心词“账号”(account)后。定语“送餐”表目的，故用不定式短语来表达，译为to deliver meals.

　　3. 第4句“现在他们……，给同学……便利”有两个分句，仔细分析发现，后半句是前半句的结果，故可将后半句处理成结果状语，译为分词短语providing a lot of convenience to other students，结构清晰明了。“同学们的生活”中的“生活”可略去不译，只译出“同学们”，不影响译文的意思。

　　4.最后一句中的“更重要的是…可译成短语What is more important或More importantly，或套用句型 What's more important is that…。培养了实践能力”暗含动作已完成，故应该用现在完成时，译作they have cultivated their practical ability.

　　参考译文
