　　英语六级翻译练习真题：筷子

　　筷子(chopsticks)是中国传统的独具特色的进食工具(dining utensils)，至今已有数千年的历史。筷子在古代被称为“箸”，大约从明朝开始才有了“筷子”的称呼。筷子多为竹子制成，也有用木头、象牙(ivory)、金属或其他材料制作而成。它要么上方下圆，要么上下全圆而上粗下细。不管其形状如何，筷子必须是成对使用的，并且两只筷子的大小长短要相同。筷子是中国人日常生活的必备工具，它的发明充分反映了中国人民的智慧。

　　1.第一句的主干结构为“筷子是进食工具至今已有数千年的历史”可使用插入语的形式，进行补充说明，使用 with ahistory of...进行翻译。

　　2.第二句“筷子在古代…”中包含时间状语“在古代”，因此句子的时态应为过去时。

　　3.在“它要么上方下圆…上粗下细”一句中，“上下”主要指的是筷子的上半部分、下半部分，使用upper part和lower part来表达;“上方下圆”英译时可以分享系动词are，译作upper parts are square and lower parts round，避免重复;“上下全圆”可译作句子的主干，后跟介词短语with thicker upper parts and thinner lower parts说明“上粗下细”的形状。

　　4.“不管其形状如何”在翻译时使用“whatever+n.(their shapes)+be动词”结构，相当于状语从句nomatter what their shapes are;“大小长短要相同”没有直译成 be of the same size and height，而译为be identical to each other,后者的译法更加优美。

　　5.最后一句中“它的发明…”可使用which引导的非限制性定语从句结构，对前一句进行进一步的说明。
