題目14
請(qǐng)翻譯:
1月1日,我國(guó)針對(duì)長(zhǎng)江的重點(diǎn)水域開(kāi)啟為期10年的禁漁令,以保護(hù)這條國(guó)內(nèi)最長(zhǎng)河流的生物多樣性。自2020 年起,長(zhǎng)江流域332個(gè)保護(hù)區(qū)全面禁止生產(chǎn)性捕撈;最遲自2021年1月1日零時(shí)起,禁漁范圍將擴(kuò)大至所有長(zhǎng)江干流和重要支流天然水域。
解析:
1. “流域”可譯為basin,如“黃河流域”即the Yellow River basin。
2. 長(zhǎng)江流域332個(gè)保護(hù)區(qū)全面禁止生產(chǎn)性捕撈,這句話的主干是“保護(hù)區(qū)(主語(yǔ))禁止(謂語(yǔ))捕撈(賓語(yǔ))”,但在英文里,“保護(hù)區(qū)”不是“禁止”這一動(dòng)作的發(fā)出者,而是 “禁止捕撈”這件事的地點(diǎn)狀語(yǔ)。由于前文已經(jīng)提到fishing ban,那么“禁止捕撈”就不用再譯成fishing is banned,而可以直接用the ban來(lái)指代。
3. 這個(gè)時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)譯為“from no later than January 1, 2021”,這里from絕對(duì)不能省略,它表示禁漁范圍是從2021年1月1日開(kāi)始擴(kuò)大。如果省略from,意思就變成“禁漁范圍到2021年1月1日為止已經(jīng)擴(kuò)大完畢”。
參考譯文:
China began a 10-year fishing ban on key areas of the Yangtze River on January 1 to protect biodiversity in the country’s longest river. Starting from 2020, the ban will be observed in 332 conservation areas in the Yangtze River basin, which will be expanded to all natural water areas of the river and its major tributaries from no later than January 1, 2021.
題目15
請(qǐng)翻譯:
In 1908, the Metropolitan Museum of Art began to excavate late-antique sites in the Kharga Oasis, located in Egypt’s Western Desert. The Museum’s archaeologists uncovered two-story houses, painted tombs, and a church.
解析:
1. 第一句翻譯的重點(diǎn)技巧在于對(duì)地點(diǎn)的處理。英文行文的原則是從小到大,中文反之。
2. 第二句主語(yǔ)注意不要生硬地翻譯英文的復(fù)數(shù)形式,“博物館的考古學(xué)家們”會(huì)顯得不太正式。中文對(duì)名詞的復(fù)數(shù)處理通常比較模糊,即使是復(fù)數(shù),也習(xí)慣以單數(shù)指代。參考譯文處理為集合名詞性質(zhì)的“考古團(tuán)隊(duì)”,表達(dá)復(fù)數(shù)含義。
3. 原文的uncover一詞和discover雖然基本同義,但有細(xì)微區(qū)別。uncover指向性更強(qiáng),意為“揭去覆蓋物”,在原文的語(yǔ)境中,譯為“挖掘出”,指從沙漠下找到遺跡。
參考譯文:
大都會(huì)藝術(shù)博物館于1908年開(kāi)始在埃及西部沙漠的哈爾加綠洲(Kharga Oasis)發(fā)掘晚古時(shí)期遺址。博物館考古團(tuán)隊(duì)挖掘出了兩層的樓房、壁畫(huà)墓和一座教堂。

解析:
原文兩句都是無(wú)主句,譯文分別采用了以we為主語(yǔ)的句子和被動(dòng)句形式來(lái)翻譯。
參考譯文:

解析:
在本句中,developed into統(tǒng)領(lǐng)后面兩個(gè)賓語(yǔ)(giants和backbone),中文需要為它們分別找到搭配的動(dòng)詞。
參考譯文:
一個(gè)世紀(jì)前,中國(guó)品牌首次出現(xiàn)在1915年巴拿馬太平洋萬(wàn)國(guó)博覽會(huì)(Panama-Pacific International Exposition)上。眾多中國(guó)企業(yè)隨后走出國(guó)門(mén),贏得國(guó)際聲譽(yù)。經(jīng)過(guò)百年發(fā)展,這些企業(yè)發(fā)展為跨國(guó)巨頭,成為中國(guó)國(guó)民經(jīng)濟(jì)的中流砥柱。
