英语四级翻译真题:中国银行

　　2.第3句中的“自......以来”译为since...， since是时态标识词，提示后面的主句需使用完成时态。“自成立以来”需加上物主代词its指代“中国银行的”才符合英语表达习惯，译作since its establishment, “扮演十分重要的角色”可用短语 play an important/a significantrole/part 来表达。

　　3.第4句中的“业务范围”可译为businesses，省略表范畴的“范围”不译。“中国银行的业务范围涵盖”可直译为the businesses of Bank of China cover，但顺承前一句的“中国银行”，此处可用its来代替，译为Itsbusinesses cover，使表达简洁明了。

　　4.最后一句可译为并列结构Bank of China has set up...and built up...。“在世界各大金融中心”和“在全球30多个国家和地区”均为地点状语，按英语表达习惯要后置，分别译为in different global financial centers和 in over 30 countries and regions in the world。
