2017年12月大学英语六级翻译练习题(一):茉莉花
1.第1句“据说《茉莉花》是……第一首中国民歌”可译为It issaid that Jasmine flower is the first...,但不如译文说的Jasmine Flower is said to be the first...来得简单。定语“流传到海外的”较长,故将其处理成后置定语,用表被动的过去分词短语introduced to foreign countries来表达。
2.第2句中的“在研究中国音乐史时”为时间状语,处理成从句,英译时需增译出从句主语they,表达为whenthey study the history of Chinese music,置于主句之后。“不少外国人学唱中文歌时首选这首歌”可逐字对译为 many foreigners who would like to learn to sing Chinese songs would first choose thissong,但译文繁冗拗口。根据“汉语多用动词,英语多用名词”的表达差异,考虑将“首选这首歌”译为the firstchoice,用结构 it is the first choice for sb.译出。
3.第3句中的“给所有现众留下了深刻的印象”可用并列结构and greatly impressed...,但不如将其处理成非限制性定语从句好,译作which greatly impressed all the audiences更能体现原文的逻辑关系。
4.最后一句“这首歌带给我们……的同时也…”可套用句型sth brings sb. both... and...,故译为This songbrings us both great artistic enjoyment and pride。
参考译文:
Jasmine Flower is said to be the first Chinese folksong introduced to foreign countries. A lot ofscholars abroad have mentioned Jasmine Flowerwhen they study the history of Chinese music. It isthe first choice for many foreigners who would like tolearn to sing Chinese songs. In closing ceremony ofthe 2004 Athens Olympics, a Chinese girl sang this song, which greatly impressed all theaudiences.

2017年12月大学英语六级翻译练习题(二):丽江古城
丽江古城位于云南省西北部,是纳西族聚居的地方。它建于宋代(the Song Dynasty),距今已有800年的历史,其原貌得以保存完整。自古以来,古城就是远近闻名的集市。它是中国历史文化名城中唯一没有城墙的古城。古城里的建筑深受纳西、白、藏(Tibetan)、汉四个民族建筑艺术的影响,充满了浓厚的中华文化气息。1997年,丽江被列入世界文化遗产名录(World Heritage Sites)。
1.第1句“面江古城位于……,是……的地方”可用并列结构译为the ancient town of Lijiang is located in... and ishome to...,但这样处理稍显生硬,不如将前半句处理成地点状语,用过去分词短语located in...来表达,主句为theancient town of Lijiang is home to...,译文主次分明、结构紧凑。
2.第2句中有3个动词“建于”、“距今有”和“得以保存”,可按原文结构译出:it was built in... and has ahistory of.., and its original look has been kept intact。但仔细分析可发现,第1、2分句关系较紧密,可以用介词in将这两个分句连接起来,译作It was built 800 years ago in the Song Dynasty。第3个分句用并列结构and its original look...来表达。
3.第4句中的“中国历史文化名城中”是地点状语,翻译“在……中唯一……”这种句式时,一般会把状语“在 ……中”放于句首,表达为Among..., it is the only...。定语“没有城墙的”后置,可用定语从句which has nowalls来表达,亦可用介词短语without walls来表达,但都不如译文中增译built—词好,增译built更能确切地表达“建城时就没有城墙”的意义。
4.在翻译倒数第2句中的纳西、白、藏、汉四个民族”时,先译出其总括词four nationalities,再用namely或i.e.引出具体内容。
参考译文:
Located in the northwest of Yunnan Province, theancient town of Lijiang is home to the Naxi ethnicminority. It was built 800 years ago in the SongDynasty and its original look has been kept intact.It has been a very well-known market since theancient times.
