  翻译详解:

  1.旗袍是独具中国特色的女性服饰,在高端时尚的国际世界中日益流行:“独具中国特色”可译为with distinctiveChinese features,与distinctive搭配的常用短语还有:distinctive features (独特特征)、distinctivesmell (独特气味)、 distinctive capabilities (特殊能力),“日益流行”可译为enjoy a growing popularity,这是英语中常用的短语;“高端时尚”可译为high fashion。

  2.上身容易,穿着舒适,旗袍特别适合中国女性的身材:“上身容易”和“穿着舒适”分别可译为easy to slipon和comfortable to wear,两个结构为对等结构,其中slip on就有“一下子穿上”的意思;"特别适合”可译为fit well, fit作动词,表示“适合,合身”fit作形容词可表示“健康的”,如:keep fit(保持健康);“中国女性的身材”可译为the female Chinese figure。

  3.它的好处在于可以使用多种材质,并以不同长度制作,因此在休闲和正式场合都可穿着:“它的好处在于”可翻译为The beauty of the cheongsam is that,后跟一个表语从句,在这里beauty表示“好处,优点”;表语从句中可以使用多种材质,并以不同长度制作”可用过去分词和介词短语来翻译,即made of differentmaterials and to varying lengths;提到“不同”,最常用的词无疑是different,但这里用varying更为合适,different强调的是“差异”,而varying强调的是“多样化”;“休闲场合”可译为casual occasions; “正式场合”可译为formal occasions。

  英语四级翻译模拟训练:景泰蓝

  请将下面这段话翻译成英文:

  景泰蓝(Cloisonne)是一种古老的装饰金属物品的工艺。采用这项工艺生产出的物品也可以称为景泰蓝。装饰效果是这样形成的:首先要通过焊接(solder)或粘贴工艺用银线或金线给金属物件勾边,以将其分隔为几个小块。这些金银线在成品上依然能看到,它们将瓷釉或镶嵌物(enamel or inlays)的不同部分分隔开来,通常这些瓷釉或镶嵌物会有多种颜色。这项工艺至今在中国仍然很常见。

  参考翻译:

  Cloisonne is an ancient technique for decoratingmetal objects.The resulting objects can also be calledcloisonne.The decoration is formed by first addingcompartments to the metal object by soldering orsticking silver or gold threads placed on theiredges.These gold or silver threads remain visible in the finished piece, separating the differentcompartments of the enamel or inlays, which are often of several colors.The technique remainscommon in China to the present day.

  翻译详解:

  1.装饰效果是这样形成的:首先要通过焊接或粘贴工艺用银线或金线給金属物件勾边,以将其分隔为几个小块:“将其分隔为几个小块”即“给金属物件添加几个分区”,译为addingcompartments to the metal object。“焊接或粘贴”可用solder or stick表达。

  2.这些金银线在成品上依然能看到,它们将瓷釉或镶嵌物的不同部分分隔开来,通常这些瓷釉或镶嵌物会有多种颜色:句中重复出现"瓷釉或镶嵌物”,因此可用which引导的定语从句修饰“瓷釉或镶嵌物”,即which are oftenof several colors...;“分隔”可译为separate,它常用于以下词组:separate from(分离;分开)、separate out (析出,分出)、separate ways (分别)、separate cover(分散掩蔽)、separateinto(把...分成、分离成)。
