十二生肖第1页为了让人们更加好地记住年份，我们祖先用12只动物来代表年份，即“十二生肖”（Chinese Zodiac）。每一年由一个动物代表，每隔进行一个循环，从鼠开始，以猪为结尾。每一个动物还有其独特文化内涵（cultural connotation)。比如，牛年出生人听说“勤奋、冷静、可靠”，虎年出生人则“强大、勇敢、但又急躁”。十二生肖在亚洲其它国家，如韩国和日本也很流行。第2页1.为了让人们更加好地记住年份，我们祖先用12只动物来代表年份，即“十二生肖”（Chinese Zodiac）。In order to remember the years more easily,our ancestors used twelve animals to represent the years,which is called the“Chinese Zodiac”.第3页2.每一年由一个动物代表，每隔进行一个循环，从鼠开始，以猪为结尾。Every year is represented by an animal and every 12 years comes in a circle beginning with Rat and ending with Pig.第4页3.每一个动物还有其独特文化内涵（cultural connotation)。比如，牛年出生人听说“勤奋、冷静、可靠”，虎年出生人则“强大、勇敢、但又急躁”。Each animal has its unique cultural connotations.For example,a person born in the Year of Ox is said to be hard working,calm,and reliable,while the person born in the year of Tiger is powerful,brave,and impatient.第5页4.十二生肖在亚洲其它国家，如韩国和日本也很流行。The Chinese Zodiac remains popular as well in other Asian countries,such as Korea and Japan.第6页词汇难点祖先 ancestor 代表 represent循环 come in a circle 独特 unique牛年 the Year of Ox 勤奋 hard working可靠地 reliable 虎年 the year of Tiger强大powerful 急躁 impatient以开始 begin with 以结尾 end with第7页表示难点第1句中“为了让人们更加好地记住年份”，假如直译成in order to make people remember the years more easily,表示不够地道，有中国式英语感觉。“让人们”是汉语中约定俗成表示，可省译，此处即可译为 in order to remember。“即十二生肖”可紧跟上文，用which引导非限制性定语从句来表示。第8页第2句中“每隔进行一个循环”能够用every 12 year comes in a circle表示，主语every 12 years 为整体概念单数名词。“从鼠开始，以猪为结尾”用现在分词短语beginning with Rat and ending with Pig 来表示，作“循环”后置定语。第9页第4句中“牛年出生”处理成后置定语，用分词短语born in the Year of Ox来表示。翻译最终一句时，先译出主干（The Chinese Zodiac remains popular)。地点状语“在亚洲其它国家”用介词短语in other Asian countries来表示。第10页参考译文In order to remember the years more easily,our ancestors used twelve animals to represent the years,which is called the“Chinese Zodiac”.Every year is represented by an animal and every 12 years comes in a circle beginning with Rat and ending with Pig.Each animal has its unique cultural connotations.For example,a person born in the Year of Ox is said to be hard working,calm,and reliable,while the person born in the year of Tiger is powerful,brave,and impatient.The Chinese Zodiac remains popular as well in other Asian countries,such as Korea and Japan.第11页
