2018年12月英语六级翻译练习：故宫
六级翻译练习：故宫 故宫位于北京市中心，是明清两代24位皇帝的皇宫。1 故宫首建于明成祖年间，历时14 年竣工。2 没有皇帝特许，禁止任何人进宫，因此这里又叫“紫禁城”。故宫外观呈长方形，是世界上最大的宫殿群，占地约72万平方米，四面环绕着52米宽的护城河和10 米高的城墙。3 城墙四面各有一座城门，南北门相距961米， 东西门相隔753米。4 故宫分为两部分。南部又称外朝，是皇帝行使最高权力的地方；北部又称内廷，是皇帝和皇室生活的场所。5 由于黄色是皇族的标志，故翻译练习宫内以黄色为主。6 屋顶铺的是黄色琉璃瓦， 宫里的装饰品也被漆成黄色。 但是有一个例外，皇帝的书斋文渊阁是黑顶，原因是当时人们认为黑色代表水，可以灭火。7 故宫用作皇宫约有五百年历史，藏有大量奇珍古玩。8 1987年，故宫被联合国教科文组织列为世界文化遗产。现在，故宫已成为全世界最受欢迎的景点之一，对国内外游客开放。 参考译文： Lying at the center of Beijing, the Palace Museum was the imperial palace for 24 emperors during the Ming and Qing dynasties. It was built during the reign of Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty, taking 14 years to complete. It was forbidden to enter without special permission of the emperor. Hence it is also named the Forbidden City. Rectangular in shape, the Palace Museum is the world’s largest palace complex, covering an area of some 720,000 square meters, surrounded by a 52-meter-wide moat and 10-meter-high walls. The walls have a gate on each side. The distance between the south and north gates is 961 meters, while the distance between the east and west gates is 753 meters. The Palace Museum is divided into two parts. The southern section, or the Outer Court, was where the emperor exercised his supreme power over the nation. The northern section, or the Inner Court, was where the emperor lived with his royal family. Since yellow is the symbol of the royal family, it is the dominant color in the Palace Museum. Roofs are built with yellow glazed tiles, and decorations in the palace are also painted yellow. However, there is one exception. Wenyuange, the royal library, has a black roof. The reason is that it was believed black represented water and could extinguish fire. Having been the imperial palace for some 500 years, the Palace Museum houses numerous rare treasures and curiosities. In 1987, the Palace Museum was listed by UNESCO as a World Cultural Heritage Site. The Palace Museum is now one of the most popular tourist attractions worldwide, open to tourists from home and abroad. 翻译简析 1 将故宫的地理位置译为状语，符合英文表达习惯。“位于北京市中心”也可以译为 Located in the center of Beijing或Situated at the center of Beijing。 2 “明成祖年间”意即明成祖在位期间，故译作during the reign of Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty。遇到类似表达，可以套用。如“清康熙年间”可译为during the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty。 3 本句信息较多，原文结构较为松散，译文将“是世界上最大的宫殿群”作为主句，其他信息分别译为形容词短语或分词结构，自然紧凑。 4 本句用了分译法，使译文表意更清晰。 5 “又称”这里译作or，表达的意思比译为also called 更简洁。 6 本句重点讲故宫的颜色，所以译文以黄色为中心组织句子，译法灵活。“以黄色为主”， 意即黄色是故宫的主色调，故译作it is the dominant color。 7 原文中“皇帝的书斋”是“文渊阁”的同位语，译文中也处理为同位语。此外，本句分译为两句，以突出文渊阁的与众不同。 8 根据英语表达习惯，将表时间的概念译为分词结构，作状语。

2018年12月英语四级翻译练习：丝绸
请将下面这段话翻译成英文： 一想到中国，人们脑海中闪现的第一件事便是丝绸。中国是丝绸的发源地，今天仍在生产一些世界上最好的丝绸。在中国，探索丝绸奥妙最好的地方是苏州。正是在那里，诞生了第一批丝绣(silk embroidery)，如今苏州仍在生产中国最好的丝绸。丝绸可以用合成纤维(synthetic fibre)和人造纤维等制成，但最优质的丝绸是由桑蚕丝(mulberry silk)制成的。桑蚕(silkworm)纯粹以桑叶喂食。苏州丝绸可以制成很多产品，最常见的是衣服和围巾，但也能做成鞋、餐巾、玩具，甚至风筝。 参考翻译 When people think of China, [w=silk]silk[/w] is the first thing that pops into their mind. China is the [w=birthplace]birthplace[/w] of silk, and still produces some of the finest silk in the world. In China, the best place to discover the wonder of silk is the city of Suzhou. It was there that some of the first silk embroideries were born, and Suzhou is still producing the best silks in China. Silk can be produced from synthetic fibre and artificial fibre, etc., but the finest quality silk is made from [w=mulberry]mulberry[/w] silk. The [w=silkworm]silkworms[/w] are fed purely on mulberry leaves. Suzhou Silk can be made into a great many products, the most commonly being clothing and scarves, and it can be made into shoes, napkin, toys, and even kites as well. 翻译详解 1.想到:可译为think of。后半句的pops into mind也可表示“想到”，而think over则为“仔细考虑”的意思。 2.探索丝绸奥妙最好的地方:本句看似可以用定语从句来修饰主语，其翻译实用动词不定式作后置定语来翻译更为简洁。 3.正是在那里，诞生了第一批丝绣:本句可以用it is+that的强调句式来表达，即 It was there that some of the first silk embroideries were born.这会给整体的翻译增加得分点。

2018年12月英语四级翻译练习：刺绣
国有四大名绣：苏州的苏绣、广东的粤绣、湖南的湘绣以及四川的蜀绣。4 各种绣法不仅风格有差异，主题也各有不同。5 其中，苏州的苏绣最负盛名。 参考译文： China is home to silk, thereby having a variety of arts related to silk, one of which is embroidery. Embroidery, with at least two or three thousand years of history, is one of the traditional Chinese folk arts and crafts. Since most embroiderers are women, it is also called “women’s needlework”. Embroidery has been widely popular among the Chinese people. It can be used to decorate clothing and other articles of daily use. For example, clothes, quilts, pillowcases etc. can be embroidered with beautiful designs, or a piece of embroidery can be made for a special ornament. There are four most famous types of embroidery in China – respectively from Suzhou, Guangdong, Hunan, and Sichuan – each having its own style and different themes. Among the four, Suzhou embroidery has enjoyed the highest reputation. 翻译简析 1 本句的翻译需留意英文句子结构，用了thereby和one of which等连接词语，主次分明，结构严谨。“丝绸的故乡”译为home to silk，也可译为the home of silk。 2 “从事刺绣的”可直译为embroiderer。“女红”这个中国文化特色词无对应的英语词汇，此处意翻译练习译为women’s needlework。 3 本句采用了分译法，例子另译为一句，便于读者理解。 4 本句谈到四大名绣分别出自不同地区，译文用介词from，简洁明了。 5 本句与上一句语义联系紧密，合译为一句，结构自然紧凑。

2018英语专八翻译练习：生命的意义
一个人的生命究竟有多大意义，这有什么标准可以衡量吗?提出一个绝对的标准当然很困难;但是，大体上看一个人对待生命的态度是否严肃认真，看他对待劳动、工作等等的态度如何，也就不难对这个人的存在意义做出适当的估计了。 古来一切有成就的人，都很严肃地对待自己的生命，当他活着一天，总要尽量多劳动、多工作、多学习，不肯虚度年华，不让时间白白地浪费掉。我国历代的劳动人民及大政治家、大思想家等等都莫不如此。 参考译文： What is the significance of life? Is there any criterion for its measurement? Difficult
