　　六級翻譯練習題：茉莉花

　　據說《茉莉花》(Jasmine Flower)是流傳到海外的第一首中國民歌。許多國外學者在研究中國音樂史時都提到了《茉莉花》，不少外國人學唱中文歌時首選這首歌。2004年雅典奧運會(Athens Olympics)閉幕式上, 一位中國小姑娘唱起《茉莉花》，給所有觀眾留下了深刻的印象。2008年北京奧運會，《茉莉花》被選為頒獎典禮 (awarding ceremony)的音樂。這首歌帶給我們美好藝術享受的同時也帶給我們驕傲。

　　六級翻譯詞匯：

　　1.第1句“據說《茉莉花》是……第一首中國民歌”可譯為It issaid that Jasmine flower is the first...，但不如譯文說的Jasmine Flower is said to be the first...來得簡單。定語“流傳到海外的”較長，故將其處理成后置定語，用表被動的過去分詞短語introduced to foreign countries來表達。

　　2.第2句中的“在研究中國音樂史時”為時間狀語，處理成從句，英譯時需增譯出從句主語they，表達為whenthey study the history of Chinese music，置于主句之后。“不少外國人學唱中文歌時首選這首歌”可逐字對譯為 many foreigners who would like to learn to sing Chinese songs would first choose thissong，但譯文繁冗拗口。根據“漢語多用動詞，英語多用名詞”的表達差異，考慮將“首選這首歌”譯為the firstchoice，用結構 it is the first choice for sb.譯出。

　　3.第3句中的“給所有現眾留下了深刻的印象”可用并列結構and greatly impressed...，但不如將其處理成非限制性定語從句好，譯作which greatly impressed all the audiences更能體現原文的邏輯關系。

　　4.最后一句“這首歌帶給我們……的同時也…”可套用句型sth brings sb. both... and...，故譯為This songbrings us both great artistic enjoyment and pride。
