他因杰出的写诗才能,被赋予诗仙(Poetic Genius)的称号。

Most of his poems were produced in the rise and fall period of the Tang Dynasty. He is one of the greatest poets in the history of China. Li Bai lived a wandering life all his life. He hadtalent but no opportunity to use it. He was very disappointed and resentful. He had to attain fun by drinking wine andwriting poems.

这个城市不但以自然美闻名于世,而且有着传统的文化魅力。

到杭州旅游,既令人愉快,又能得到文化享受。

参考译文:Hangzhou,one of China's six ancient capital cities, has a history of more than 2,000 years. It is famous not only for its natural beauty but also for its charm of cultural traditions. Besides many poems and inscriptions by men of letters throguh the dynasties,it also boasts local delicacies and pretty handicrafts.Generallyspeaking,a two-day tour of West Lake and scenic spots around it is advisable for a tourist.

英文有“menof letters”与之对应。

“题咏”指为歌咏或纪念某一景物,书画或某一事件而题写的诗词。

故译为Besides many poemsand inscriptions by men of letters throguh the dynasties。

2020年英语四级考试翻译备考笔记(一)

2020年英语四级考试翻译备考笔记(一)翻译作为语言听、说、读、写、译五大水平之一,是历年四级考试题型之一。

四级考试在2006年6月24日实行了巨大的结构调整,翻译部分由以往的英译汉改为汉译英。

不过,事实上我们四级的翻译根本不是翻译,仅仅补全句子。

因为它的难度实在是太小了,只要你翻译半句话,不是让你翻译一段话,更不是让你把《红楼梦》翻译成英文,或者把莎士比亚的诗翻译成中文。

纵观多年来四级翻译题的考察重点,无非就是考察你两样东西。

,首先就是固定的短语,四级大纲中规定了一些常见的短语,这个绝对要考的。

第二个考一些常见的语法现象,比如说虚拟语气,倒装,比你发现这个句子前面是only in this way,后面是(我们才能成功),这样是倒装,这个点找好基本上这个分都能够得到,这个不是特别重要的一块。

浅析样题与真题一.考试形式:由原来英译汉变为汉译英来源:二.内容简单:名为翻译,实为补全句子来源:三.考核重点:特殊句型(倒状句,比较状语从句),核心语法(虚拟语气、分词、不定式),重点词组大纲样题 6月24日真题87题目不管是否加热找到去历史博物馆的路参考答案 whether (it is) heated or not finding the way to the history museum考点分析从句+被动语态动名词作补语88题目他向我收费过高为了挣钱供我上学参考答案 did he charge me too muchdid he overcharge me In order to support my university studies,To finance my college education,考点分析倒装句不定式作状语89题目与我的相比我们交研究报告参考答案 compared with minein comparison with mine we (should) hand in our research report(s)考点分析过去分词虚拟语气名词从句中的应用90题目一半的钱我愈糊涂参考答案 half as much (money) the more confused I am考点分析平级比较结构比较结构The more…, the more …91题目把孩子的成功归因于他被公司解雇了参考答案to attribute their children’s success toto have a belief that their children’s success to he was fired by the company.he was dismissed by the company.考点分析固定短语attribute to 连词though与but不兼容+被动语态对策一.看核心语法,重点看虚拟语气;比较状语从句;倒装句;现在分词;过去分词;不定式;动名词。

中国烹饪(Chinese cuisine)文化是中国文化中相关烹饪和休闲的重要组成部分。

中国悠久的历史、广袤的疆土、好客的习俗孕育了这个独特艺术。

中餐以其“色、香、味、形”俱全而著称。

它讲究原料的选配、食物的质地、佐料(seasonings)的调制、切菜的刀功、适时的烹调以及装盘艺术。

最负盛名的菜系有南方粤菜、北方鲁菜、东部淮扬菜和西部川菜,以“南淡北咸,东甜西辣”见称。

句1:中国烹饪(Chinese cuisine)文化是中国文化中相关烹饪和休闲的重要组成部分。

思路点拨:“…是…”结构的句子能够翻译成使用be动词的主系表结构本句中虽然给出的时“相关…”,但仔细揣摩其意思应该是“在…方面”,故译为in the aspect of.
Chinese cuisine culture is an important part of Chinese culture in the aspect of cooking and leisure.
句2:中国悠久的历史、广袤的疆土、好客的习俗孕育了这个独特艺术。

思路点拨:本句的主语是三个并列的偏正短语,如果按照原有的语序翻译成英文。

则主语太长,不符合英语的表达习惯。

所以,本句翻译时应该将主语和宾语互换,同时将“孕育了”意译为owe…to…(将…归因于,将…归功于),三个并列的短语作介词to的宾语。

This unique art owes itself to the long history, vast territory and hospitable tradition of China.
句3:中餐以其“色、香、味、形”俱全而著称。

思路点拨:本句中“以…而著称”用be famous for来表示;“形”不是“形状”,而是“外观”,应译为appearance; “俱全”译为perfect combination of.
Chinese food is famous for its perfect combination of “color, aroma, taste and appearance”.
句4:它讲究原料的选配、食物的质地、佐料(seasonings)的调制、切菜的刀功、适时的烹调以及装盘艺术。

思路点拨:本句中“讲究”即是“注重”,故译为gives emphasis to; “质地”不是“质量”,不可译为quality, 应译为texture. “佐料的调制”、“切菜的刀功”、“适时的烹调”和“装
盘艺术”依次译为the blending of seasonings、slicing techniques、the perfect timing of cooking和the art of laying out the food on the plate.
It gives emphasis to the selection of raw materials, the texture of food, the blending of seasonings, slicing techniques, the perfect timing of cooking and the art of
laying out the food on the plate.
句5:最负盛名的菜系有南方粤菜、北方鲁菜、东部淮扬菜和西部川菜,以“南淡北咸,东甜西辣”见称。

思路点拨:本句可用介词Among置于句首的倒装句型,表示众多
最负盛名的菜系“有…”;后半句是对前半句内容的补充说明,能够用
过去分词短语noted as…(以…著称)这种非谓语动词来取消句子的独
立性,同时也增加了句子的节奏感。

“菜系”即是“派别”,用school较为合适,不能够译为其他词汇。

原文中虽没有“味道”二字,但稍微注意一下便可得知“南淡北咸,东甜西辣”说的就是“味道”,所以翻译时应把“味道”(flavor)翻译出来。

Among the best-known schools of cuisine are the Cantonese cuisine of the south, the Shandong cuisine of the north, the Huai-Yang cuisine of the east and the Sichuan cuisine of the west, noted as “the light flavor of the south, the salty flavor of the north, the sweet flavor of the east and the spicy-hot flavo r of the west”.
练习2
筷子(chopsticks)是最能反映中国饮食文化特色和传统的重要象
征之一。

筷子有着悠久的历史,相关筷子的记载能够追溯到3000多年以前。

无论到何时何地,中国人吃饭都很难离开筷子。

此外,筷子还
能够作为礼仪(etiquette)、馈赠、寄情、收藏的特殊工艺品和礼品。

如今,筷子已经出现在全世界很多国家的餐桌上,西方还流行起了
“为了您的健康,请您拿起筷子来”的时潮。

句1:筷子(chopsticks)是最能反映中国饮食文化特色和传统的重要象征之一。

思路点拨:本句的句子主干为“筷子是…之一”,译为chopsticks are one of…; “最能反映中国饮食文化特色和传统”可处理成定语从句,来修饰“重要象征”,译为that can most reflect the characteristics and traditions of Chinese food culture。

“象征”译为symbol.
译:Chopsticks are one of the important symbols that can most reflect the characteristics and traditions of Chinese food culture.
句2:筷子有着悠久的历史,相关筷子的记载能够追溯到3000多年以前。
