大学英语六级翻译练习和译文

　　It has been a common problem in large city residents' life that it's hard to take a taxi. The increase of urban population and diversification of social activities make the demand for taxi rise. As the traffic jam becomes worse in cities，to guarantee personal income, many taxi drivers refuse to drive on busy roads and main urban areas, which makes it difficult for many citizens to take a taxi near some transportation junctions, commercial centers and hospitals. City construction affects the efficiency of taxi. Being not standard in the taxi industry and taxi drivers' often refusing to take passengers are the human factors that make it difficult to take a taxi.

　　2.增加了对出租车的需求:可译为make the demand fortaxi rise。

　　3.为避免堵车影响收入:可灵活地译为to guaranteepersonal income。采用逆向译法，上下文反复出现“堵车”这个词，所以可以省略。

　　目前，我国大中型城市中，出台“公共场所禁止吸烟”规定的城市占45.7%。从不少制定禁止吸烟法规的城市实践来看，效果并不明显，大有“禁而难止”的迹象。有相当多的吸烟者视法规而不顾，面对着公共场所“请勿吸烟”、“禁止吸烟”的标示依然我行我素、吞云吐雾。当生存压力日益加大，如何在纷繁复杂的情况下实现“无烟环境”是我们每个人值得思索的问题。“全民禁烟”不仅是一场持久战(a protractedcampaign),更是一场人民保卫健康的战争，需要全民携手共同战斗。

　　1.制定禁止吸烟法规:可译为issue regulations toprohibit smoking in public。其中“禁止吸烟”实际指的是“禁止在公共场所吸烟”，故翻译为prohibit smoking inpublic。汉语的含义有时比较隐晦，需要在充分理解原文的基础上进行翻译。

　　2.视法规而不顾:可译为are indifferent toregulations。其中“视…而不顾”可以理解为“对…漠不关心”，故使用be indifferent to来表达。indifferent意为“不关心的，满不在乎的”。

　　3.依然我行我素、吞云吐雾:可意译为continue to smoke,既简单又能防止因错译、漏译而失分。
