一、复习建议:ﻫ 1、 加强历史、文化、经济以及社会发展相关热词得积累ﻫ 2、 广撒网,学习、揣摩这些话题相关得难点单句训练
做这些单句训练时,先阅读1遍整个段落,专门挑出自己觉得比较难翻得句子,然后重点练习这一句得翻译。难句会了,简单句自然不在话下。ﻫ 在做单句翻译时,先尝试自己翻,翻完以后,对照答案,瞧解析,总结与揣摩其中好得词汇与表达。下面请大家跟着教研君给出得常考单句示例,具体学习吧~
1、 对于大多数年轻人来说,结婚意味着独立组建家庭,然而物价得不断上涨使这一切变得越来越困难。ﻫ 参考译文:For most young people, marriage means setting up a family independently, which has bee increasingly difficult because of the constantly rising prices、ﻫ 词汇点评:
组建家庭:set up a family。有同学容易使用start a family。start a family表示begin to have children“开始生儿育女”。
越来越:一般瞧到“越来越”大家习惯译为more and more,比如“越来越多得人”more and more people,但译为a growing number of people可令人眼前为之一亮;而表达“变得越来越"得含义时,使用bee increasingly得译法更好。
物价得不断上涨:constantly rising prices,而不就是price rising.
表达点评:ﻫ 本句就是一个表转折关系得并列句,后半句中得“物价得不断上涨使这一切……”中得“这一切”指代前半句中提到得“结婚意味着独立组建家庭”,因此,用which引导得非限制性定语从句,让整个句子简洁明了。ﻫ 使字句得翻译:“物价得不断上涨”就是“这一切变得困难”得原因,因此处理为原因状语,用because of…来带出原因。
2、 过去十年中国房地产(real estate)行业高速发展.
参考译文:The past decade has witnessed a high—speed development in China's real estate、
词汇点评:
十年:decade
高速发展:develop rapidly; high-speed development
表达点评:
本句可直译为For the past decade, China’s real estate developed rapidly,但如果以“过去十年”作为主语,套用句型time + see / witness + sth、则表达更加生动形象,更易提分。see / witness意为“见证,证明",具体使用时注意时态应与语境一致.所以本句译为:The past decade has witnessed…更地道,注意这里使用现在完成时。ﻫ “过去十年”作主语时,注意动词短语“高速发展"要转换为名词短语。
3、 胡同(Hutong)就是北京得一大特色,有着与北京城一样久远得历史。ﻫ 参考译文:Hutong, with a history as long as that of Beijing city, is a major feature of Beijing、ﻫ 词汇点评:ﻫ 特色:feature; characteristicﻫ 与……一样:as … asﻫ 表达点评:
文化类段落翻译中经常考到“特色”一词得翻译,大家一定要牢记。ﻫ 前半句“胡同(Hutong)就是北京得一大特色”就是句子主干,后半句“有着与北京城一样久远得历史”可用介词短语with a history as long as that of Beijing city来表达,以插入语得形式置于主语之后,这样整个句子得中心更突出.
二、考场“强心针":
1、 问:翻译过程中,表达优美重要,还就是正确性重要?
答:正确性更重要。如果觉得自己不能翻得特别好,那就首先保证尽可能少得语法错误,意思表达到即可,抓到分就是关键。
2、 问:平时积累了不少词汇与表达,到了翻译段落时,突然不会了,最后翻得不就是太好?
答:这种情况分两种原因:1)太急着下笔,段落含义没有理解透彻.同学在做汉译英时,一定要首先认真把整个中文段落多读几遍,理顺其中隐含得逻辑关系与信息,确定用哪个词做主语、谓语、定语,然后再下笔真正开始翻译。2)同学得语法功底稍有欠缺,这种情况,尽量把汉语得长句子拆成短句子.同样就是要多读中文,才能先把中文拆分好,然后逐句、逐句去翻译。
3、 问:我翻译得时态总跟答案得时态有出入,怎么办?
答:举几个实例来跟同学讲解下。1)遇到“近年来……某种现象越来越……”得表达.首先揣摩该现象就是否有“正在进行而且将一直持续下去得趋势",如果符合该条件,使用现在进行时就可以把这个隐含意义完美表达出来。2)强调过去某一现象或从过去延续至今得动作对现在造成得影响,多用现在完成时态.比如“过去十年,中国得房地产业经历了前所未有得高速增长。”这句中就要使用现在完成时态而非一般过去时。
