1、英语六级翻译训练每日一题英语六级翻译训练每日一题（新题型）第59期2013.11.01请将下面这段话翻译成英文：东方的文明的最大特色是知足。西洋的近代文明的最大特色是不知足。知足的东方人自安于简陋的生活，故不求物质享受的提高；自安于愚昧，自安于“不识不知”，故不注意真理的发现与技艺器械的发明；自安于现成的环境与命运，故不想征服自然。西方人大不然。他们说“不知足是神圣的”。物质上的不知足产生了今日钢铁世界，蒸汽机世界，电力世界。理智上的不知足产生了今日的科学世界。社会政治制度上的不知足产生了今日的民权世界。神圣的不知足是一切革新一切进化的动力。参考翻译The most significant f

2、eature of eastern civilization is contentment while the modern western civilization discontent.It is Orientals,who are content with their simple life,not after improvement of material lif;who are satisfied with ignorance,pay no attention to the discovery of truth and the invention of equipments;who

3、are self-content with their existing environment and destiny,have no desire to conquer the nature.Westerners are quite different.They say “Divine discontent”.Material discontent leads to todays world of steel,of automobile,and of electricity.Mental discontent contributes to todays world of science.S

4、ocio-political discontent gives rise to todays world of public rights.Divine discontent is the driver of all renovation and evolution.1.知足的东方人自安于简陋的生活，故不求物质享受的提高；自安于愚昧，自安于“不识不知”，故不注意真理的发现与技艺器械的发明；自安于现成的环境与命运，故不想征服自然。分析:中文为三个并列句，英文宜遵循此结构。为了在英文中表现中文所含气势，因此将这些并列句处理成“It is Orientals who”强调句结构。不识不知：没有多少知

5、识，意义上基本与“愚昧”一致，所以译为“ignorance”。2. 他们说“不知足是神圣的”。分析:原文“不知足是神圣的”不可根据其意思自行翻译，因为英文有其固定说法“Divine discontent”。此文节选自胡适的我们对于西洋近代文明的态度。文章对比东西方文明不同的思维模式，阐释了近代西方文明超越东方文明的内在原因。英语六级翻译训练每日一题（新题型）第58期2013.10.31请将下面这段话翻译成英文：有人说作为诗人的徐志摩是一个孩子。那是一个聪明伶俐的孩子，但这个孩子永远也长不大。他对周围的一切怀有难以满足的无穷的好奇，不分辨是清醒的还是梦幻之中的世界。他不懂得去憎恨任何人，也不相信

6、任何人真的会喜欢他。人生的经历并没有置他于不顾，却也未能使他改变。他与人间事物游戏，像孩子游戏手中的玩具。当然啦，志摩也只有自己的烦恼，或者说也有烦恼的时候。参考翻译Some people say that Hsu Tse-mo,the poet,is a child,a clever child.He can never grow old,and has an insatiable curiosity about all around him.He cant distinguish between the world of wake and the world of dream.Whats

7、more,he doesnt hate anyone,and doubts that if anyone really likes him.Although he has experienced so much in life,those experiences fail to change him.He plays with the things of life,just like a child playing with his toys.To be sure,he also has his own sorrows.To put it in another way,he also has

8、time of worries.1. 有人说作为诗人的徐志摩是一个孩子。那是一个聪明伶俐的孩子，但这个孩子永远也长不大。他对周围的一切怀有难以满足的无穷的好奇分析:采用拆分重组的翻译方法。原文中第二句为单独一句，于英文中显重复不合表达方式。因此将其处理成前句宾语“a child”的同位语。“但这个孩子永远也长不大”与后句组合为复合句。“难以满足的无穷的”可译为insatiable。2. 当然啦，志摩也只有自己的烦恼，或者说也有烦恼的时候。分析:主语译文于原散文风格的统一。原句当然可以按照原文处理成两个复合并列句，但为使句子风格与原文相符，读起来更轻快，因此译成两个单句。并使用口语化的表达方式“

9、To be sure”和“To put it in another way”。英语六级翻译训练每日一题（新题型）第57期2013.10.30请将下面这段话翻译成英文：一朵雪花的体态是轻盈的，宛如六枚小银针，千针万线，给南开大学校园绣出了合身的水晶外套。但是，正如童话世界也有缺陷一样，文史楼北墙边一株年轻的龙柏（cypress），由于一夜风雪吹压，已经倾侧成30度斜角了。远处走来几个身背照相机的年轻人。其中那位穿黑呢大衣的姑娘真美，一双亮晶晶杏核儿大眼，似湖？似星？谁也说不清，只惹得路人不时侧目朝她张望。这群市大学生摄影协会会员准备捕捉大自然恩赐的美妙镜头，心情舒畅地说笑着，渐渐地走近这棵倾斜的

13、南开大学校园绣出了合身的水晶外套。分析:“千针万线，给南开大学校园绣出了合身的水晶外套。”用了拟人手法，译文中用they worked together to weave a well-fitted caystal outfit for the campus of Nankai University即可传达原文的神韵。2. 远处走来几个身背照相机的年轻人。分析;本句采用“主谓+伴随状语”结构,译为: Several students carne from a distance, each carrying a camera.英语六级翻译训练每日一题（新题型）第56期2013.10.29请将下面

23、羿，王母娘娘赐给后羿一种长生不老药，但是王母警告他必须正当使用。然而后羿没有理会王母娘娘的警告，他被名利冲昏了头脑，变成了一个暴君。后羿美丽的妻子嫦娥对他的暴行再也不能袖手旁观，于是她偷走了后羿的长生不老药，飞到月亮上逃避后羿的狂怒。从此就有了关于月宫仙子嫦娥，这个月亮上的美丽女人的传说。关于吃月饼这个传统的来历有两个传说。There are two legends which claim to explain the tradition of eating mooncakes.我们在翻译“关于.”的时候，最常用的就是about，而本句翻译用了which引导定语从句claim to expla

24、in.，换一种表达方式，可以让句式更新颖。大家可以记住这个用法哦。一个是唐朝的神话故事，说的是当时地球被10个太阳包围着。One Tang Dynasty myth holds that the Earth once had 10 suns circling it.hold在这里用的很地道，汉语的两个半句，翻译成英文，用一个that就给衔接上了，可见翻译时，不必拘泥于原汉语句子的结构，如果自己能把意思表达很到位，而且句式很清晰，就可以尝试。注意“被包围”本句中的翻译用了had 10 suns circling it。有一天10个太阳同时出现在天空中，巨大的热量几乎把地球烤焦了。One day

25、all 10 suns appeared at once, scorching the planet with their heat.“有一天”翻译为one day，其实并没有什么奇特之处。“同时出现”appeared at once，这个at once还可以表示“同时”，大家切记哦。其实汉语的两个半句，翻译过来可以用两个完整的英语句子来表示，但这里的翻译退而求其次，用了现在分词scorching引导的伴随状语，表示一种结果，不失为很好的翻译方式哈。多亏一位名叫后羿的神箭手射下了9个太阳，地球才被保住。It was thanks to a skillful archer named Hou Y

26、i that the Earth was saved. He shot down all but one of the suns.注意“多亏”的翻译是It was thanks to。这的翻译大家看下英语的后半句，汉语里有“9”这个数字，但翻译过来，却只有一个数字one，但表示的意思却相同-剩下了一个太阳。翻译有时候就是这么奇特，没有特定的标准。为了奖励后羿，王母娘娘赐给后羿一种长生不老药，但是王母警告他必须正当使用。As his reward, the Heavenly Queen Mother gave Hou Yi the Elixir of Immortality, but she w

27、arned him that he must use it wisely.本句翻译很简单，中英翻译比较平衡。注意几个专有名词。“王母娘娘” the Heavenly Queen Mother “长生不老药”Elixir of Immortalityuse sth wisely：正当使用某物然而后羿没有理会王母娘娘的警告，他被名利冲昏了头脑，变成了一个暴君。Hou Yi ignored her advice and, corrupted by fame and fortune, became a tyrannical leader.翻译这个句子时，首先要考虑到用何种句式，能够使自己的翻译看起来清

28、晰明了而不繁琐。这里用了and，连接两个动词过去式引导的分句。没有理会也就是忽视，ignore。名利：fame and fortune暴君： a tyrannical leader后羿美丽的妻子嫦娥对他的暴行再也不能袖手旁观，于是她偷走了后羿的长生不老药，飞到月亮上逃避后羿的狂怒。Chang-Er, his beautiful wife, could no longer stand by and watch him abuse his power so she stole his Elixir and fled to the moon to escape his angry wrath.本句翻

29、译中用了两个and，来衔接句意，英语就是这么注重前后的衔接。袖手旁观：stand by从此就有了关于月宫仙子嫦娥，这个月亮上的美丽女人的传说。And thus began the legend of the beautiful woman in the moon, the Moon Fairy.and thus began这个句首大家可以多用用。英语六级翻译训练每日一题（新题型）第53期2013.10.30请将下面这段话翻译成英文：和平稳定是发展的前提和基础。上个世纪，人类经历了两次世界大战，生灵涂炭， 经济社会发展遭受严重挫折。第二次世界大战结束以来，世界经济能够快速增长，主要 得益于相对和
