翻译“每日一练”：考前巩固(一)catti专用

原文：

1、中国是一个地域辽阔、有着数千年悠久历史的多民族国家，有着秀丽的自然风光、众多的名声古迹和丰富多彩的灿烂文化。旅游资源十分丰富。

1. China is a multi-ethnic country with a vast territory and a long history covering thousands of years. It boasts of abundant tourist resources, with beautiful natural landscapes, numerous scenic spots and history sites, and a rich splendid culture.

这里中国是一个地域辽阔、有着数千年悠久历史的多民族国家是一个信息完整的句子，可在此断开。另外旅游资源十分丰富是对前面秀丽自然风光、众多名胜古迹等的总结。可以处理为主从复合句，以表现之间的逻辑关系。

2、改革开放以来，中国经济以年平均近10%的速度持续增长，各项事业蓬勃发展，人民生活水平显著提高，为旅游业的兴旺奠定了坚定的基础。中国政治稳定，经济发展，市场繁荣，中国政府坚持对外开放、积极发展与世界各国的关系，也未旅游业的发展创造了极为有利的条件。

China now enjoys political stability, economic development and a prosperous market. The Chinese government sticks to the reform and opening policy and vigorously develops relations with other countries. These have created favorable conditions for the development of tourism.

因为汉语的一句话有时比较长，句子界限不很清楚，含义较多，英语句子受形式逻辑支配，形式严谨，所以汉译英时，要断句。

流水句，是指一口气说几件事，中间似断似连，直到说完为止，才算有一个句号。英译时，因为原句较长，语意复杂，很难用一句表达清楚，往往需要分译成两句或多句。这可

以成为汉译英断句的一条原则：流水句英译时一般需要断句。断句时根据英语句子必须主

谓齐全的要求。

如这里中国政治稳定，经济发展，市场繁荣，中国政府坚持对外开放、积极发展与世界各国的关系，也未旅游业的发展创造了极为有利的条件。这里虽是一句，实际上可分为三个主谓齐全的句子，即中国政治稳定，经济发展，市场繁荣。中国坚持对外开放、积极发展与世界各国的关系。这些为旅游业的发展创造了极为有利的条件。

对汉语长句进行断句处理,是出于英语表达习惯的需要.断句是为了用英语对汉语原句的内容按逻辑重新组合,而不是任意改写.英译时必须完整地保留原句的意思,做到不增不减.

PS:

Shirleyma166 问我boast of 不是自吹自擂的意思吗，用在这里不太好吧，不如改为be rich in。我觉得可能其他童鞋也会有这方面的疑问，在此作出解答。大家有什么看法要踊跃拍砖啊，共同探讨才能进步嘛，(*^__^*) 嘻嘻……

boast的确是有夸耀、自吹自擂的意思

a: to puff oneself up in speech : speak vaingloriously;Talk with excessive pride and self-satisfaction about one's achievements, possessions, or abilities.（这时boast 是不及物动词，后常跟of/about）

eg: He continued to boast of his so-called carrer, yet we all knew that he had just gone bust.

He boasts about his beautiful and sexy wife.

boast 还有其他的意思哦。

作为及物动词时有如下二个意思：

b : to possess and often call attention to (something that is a source of pride)(有值得骄傲的东西)

eg: Our shool boasts a new stadium.

The museum boasts a collection of rare gems.

His garden boasts over 230 plant species, which is amazing.

c : have, contain （拥有、包含）

eg:a room boasting no more than a desk and a chair.

The squre boasts many pigeons and lovers.

This essay boasts many spelling mistakes and grammer misuse.

be rich in是富含的意思，和abundant（丰富）稍嫌语意重复。

It boasts of abundant tourist resources, with....这里作为不及物动词，可以理解为以······为耀，自豪的意思（take pride in/be proud of...），不过我个人觉得如果将of去掉更好。

类似还有：

China boast s rich natural resources.

China boasts breakthrough in nuclear technology.

China boasts world's second-fastest supercomputer.

China boasts biggest high-speed rail network.
