英语四级翻译模拟题带答案
1.第2句有三个分句,前两句讲述郑成功的父母,第3个分句则是讲郑成功本人的出生,故可将前两个分译为一句,第3个分句另译成一句。“他的父亲郑芝龙曾为海盗”一句中的“曾为……”使用句型used to be 来表达。“于1624年出生于日本”中既包含时间状语in 1624,也有地点状语in Japan,英译时,一般地点状语更靠近中心词,时间状语更远离中心词,故译为…born in Japan in 1624。
2.第3句“在清朝的军队…,…后,郑成功的父亲……”有明显的先后顺序,前一个分句可处理为after引导的时间状语从句,时态可用一般过去时或过去完成时,而主句则使用一般过去时。
3.翻译第4句的“郑成功却带领军队在中国东南沿海地区抗击清军”时可套用结构lead sb. to do sflt(带领某人做某事)。地点状语“在中国东南沿海地区”表达为in the coastal area of Southeast China,按英语表达习惯,置于句末。“成为……主要军事力量之一”表结果,故将其处理为结果状语,用现在分词短语 becomingone of the main military forces...,其中定语“抗击清军的”用现在分词短语 fighting against the Qingarmy 来表达。
4.最后一句中的“他赶走了荷兰殖民者,收复了台湾”作表语从句,用that引导,该句为并列结构,表达为hedrove away... and recovered...。

天安门广场(Tiananmen Square)位于北京市中心,是世界上最大的广场。整个广场东西宽500米,南北长880米。总面积达44万平方米。矗立在广场中央的人民英雄纪念碑(Monument to the People's Heroes)是新中国诞生后在广场修建的第一座建筑。天安门广场与其周围的建筑,被称为中国的心脏,是举行重大庆典的神圣之地。天安门广场还是著名的旅游景点,每天都有大量的中外游客到此参观旅游。
1.第1句中的“位于北京市中心”可处理为地点状语,用过去分词短语located at the center trf Bering City来表达,将第2个分句处理为句子的主干,使译文主次分明。
2.第2句中,将“总面积达44万平方米”处理为主干it covers a total area of...。“整个广场东西宽500米,南北长 880 米”表伴随状态,可译为分词短语 measuring 880 meters north to south, said... east towest,动词measure表“距离/长度/宽度为……”,用在此处生动形象。
3.第3句的主干是“人民英雄纪念碑是第一座建筑”,而“矗立在广场中央的”则为修饰“人民英雄纪念碑”的定语。该句可按原语序结构,把“矗立在广场中央的”译为定语从句,整句译为Monument to the People's Heroesthat stands... is the first architecture...;或可将“矗立在广场中央的”译为伴随状语,standing in thecenter of...;也可将“是新中国诞生后在广场修建的第一座建筑”处理为“人民英雄纪念碑”的同位语,表达为Monument to the People's Heroes, the first architecture built..., stands...。
4.第4句最后一个分句“是举行重大庆典的神圣之地”语义较独立,故考虑分译为一个独立的句子。定语“举行重大庆典的”较长,且含有动作,故译为定语从句,置于被修饰词holy place之后。
5.最后一句后半句的“每天都有大量的中外游客到此参观旅游”的逻辑主语与前半句中的主语“天安门广场” 不一致,翻译时可稍作处理,将其意思转换为“每天吸引大量的中外游客到此……”,译为attracting a largeamount of tourists...,表伴随状态。或可用介词短语witti a large amount of visitors...作后置定语,修饰tourist attraction。“到此参观旅游”承前的“旅游景点”可省略不译。
