2017年6月大學英語六級翻譯練習題附答案
2017年6月大學英語六級翻譯練習題(一):古代神話
盡管中國古代神話(mythology)沒有十分完整的情節,神話人物也沒有系統的家譜(genealogy),但它們卻有著鮮明的東方文化特色,其中尤為顯著的是它的尚德精神(the spirit of esteeming virtue)。這種尚德精神在與西方神話特別是希臘神話比較時,顯得更加突出。在西方神話尤其是希臘神話中,對神的褒貶標準多以智慧、力量為準則,而中國古代神話對神的褒貶則多以道德為準繩。這種思維方式深植于中國的文化之中。幾千年來,這種尚德精神影響著人們對歷史人物的品評與現實人物的期望。
參考譯文:
Although ancient Chinese mythology does not have relatively complete plot and mythological figures don't have systematic genealogy, they have distinct features of oriental culture, among which the spirit of esteeming virtue is particularly significant.When compared with Western mythology, especially Greek mythology, this spirit of esteeming virtue is even more prominent.In Western mythology, especially Greek mythology,the criteria for judging whether a god is good or not are mostly the god's wisdom and strength,while in ancient Chinese mythology, the criterion lies in morality. This way of thinking is deeply rooted in Chinese culture.For thousands of years, this spirit of esteeming virtue has affected people's comments on historical figures and expectations of real people.
詞句點撥
1.神話人物:可譯為mythological figures。
2.系統的家譜:可譯為systematic genealogy。其中systematic意為系統的,是system的形容詞形式。
3.其中尤為顯著的是它的尚德精神:將此句譯為定語從句among which the spirit of esteeming virtue is particularly significant,承接前一句,可以使譯文結構更加緊湊,邏輯更加清晰。
2017年6月大學英語六級翻譯練習題(二):思鄉
思鄉(homesickness)是中國人的一個永恒的話題。從古至今,無論男女,家是他們永久的港灣,思鄉是他們不老的情結(complex)。正是這樣的情結成為中國歷代文人重要的創作題材,并以各種方式,從各種角度加以體現。是故鄉,喚起了他們心靈深處最美好的回憶,在對故鄉的思念中,他們又仿佛回到了那單純無邪的童年時代,回到了母親的懷抱,身心的創傷得到了暫時的平復,精神的空虛得到了剎那的充實,故鄉成了他們終極的歸宿地(ultimate destination)。
參考譯文:
Homesickness is an eternal topic for Chinese people.Since ancient times, home has been a permanent harbor for both men and women, and homesickness is their ever-young complex.It is such kind of complex that becomes the important theme of Chinese literati in all dynasties; they expressed this theme in various ways and form various angles.It is home that arouses the best memories in their hearts.Thanks to those memories, they feel like going back to the pure and innocent childhood and returning to mothers arms.The wounds in body and mind will get healed temporarily and spiritual emptiness will be enriched for a while.Home has become their ultimate destination.
詞句點撥
1.思鄉:可譯為homesickness,其形容詞形式為homesick。
2.不老的情結:可譯為ever-young complex,其中“不老的”譯為ever-young,意為 “永遠年輕的”。
3.以各種方式,從各種角度加以體現:譯文以人作主語,把句式從被動變為主動,并用分號將兩個分句連在一起。文中翻譯為the they expressed this theme in various ways and from various angles。
4.是故鄉,喚起了…:此處可用It is...that...的強調句形式。“喚起”譯為arouse或bring out。
5.回到了…回到了…:可分別譯為go back to和return to,以避免重復,從而體現用詞的多樣性。
6.身心的創傷得到了暫時的平復:可譯為The wounds in body and mind will get healed temporarily。其中“身心的創傷”譯為 the wounds in body and mind, “得到平復”譯為get healed。
