六级翻译练习试题词汇：
1.第1句由3个短句构成，第1个短句译成介词短语Withthesocial development或连词as引出的从句As the societydeveloped;第2个短句可处理为主句，当中的定语“需要计算的”可译为分词短语 needed to calculate，作后置定语;第3个短句则处理成用which引导的非限制性定语从句，套用make it impossible for sb./sth. to do sth.的结构，译成which made it impossible for the rods to fulfill the task，为了避免重复，把“完成计算”转译成了“完成任务”。
2.第4句中破折号后的内容“算盘”是前面“更为高级的计算工具”的同位语，译文处也可用破折号引出。
3.第5句中的“由于算盘操作方便、简单易学”可套用英语常用句式It is+ a. + to do sth.，译为Since it wasconvenient to use and easy to learn。虽然中文出现了“由于......因此......”,但译为英语时不能同时出现“Since... so...”。
4.最后一句中的“有人发展了珠心算”如果逐字对译为someonehas developed...则显晦涩，且主语“有人”无需强调，故转换主语为“珠心算”,用there came句型，表存现状态。“即把算盘的形象……”是对“珠心算”的补充说明，可用介词短语 with the image of an abacus in mind to calculate the figures 来表达。

六级翻译练习试题词汇：
1.第1句“杭州是......，是......”如依照原文采用并列结构表达为Hangzhou is the capital city of Zhejiang Province,and is...，则稍显平淡，不如将“是浙江省得省会城市”处理成“杭州”的同位语来得简洁和有层次感，译为Hangzhou,the capital city of Zhejiang Province, is...定语“政治、经济和文化”可用介词短语 of politics, economy and culture来表达。
2.第2句“杭州历史悠久，是中国著名的……之一”可用并列结构译为Hangzhouhas a long history and isone of...，但结构较松散，不如将前半句处理为状语，用介词短语With a long history来表达，使译文更有 逻辑性、结构更紧凑。
3.第4句中的“位于市中心的”可处理为地点状语，用分词短语locatedin the center of the city来译出。“以其秀丽的湖光山色和众多的历史遗迹闻名中外”可套用be world-famous for...(以......闻名世界)的结构来表达。“众多的”可用many或numerous来表达。
4.最后一句的主干为“杭州特产众多”，可将其作为主句，其中“特产众多”意即“有众多特产”，因此翻译为Hangzhou boasts numerous special local products。而“其中以丝绸和茶叶最受欢迎”为补充说明“特产 众多”的内容，可用among which引导的非限制性定语从句来表达，译作among which and tea are themost popular。
