  四级英语翻译训练原文

  清朝末期,雕刻精美、描绘华丽的折扇大量在中国广东生产,后被西方商人青睐。运往欧洲和美国后成为西方贵妇的重要时尚配件(accessories)。中国折扇的材质多为镂雕精巧的象牙、珍珠贝壳、漆木(lacquer)。扇面上描绘了众多清朝官员及夫人的形象。因为具有神秘的东方情调,当时西方中上层贵妇人手一把,以此来炫耀自己的财富和高贵。

  四级英语翻译训练译文

  During the late Qing Dynasty, a large number of Chinese fans exquisitely carved and gorgeously painted were produced in Canton (now called Guang dong). These fans later were in good graces of western merchants. After they were shipped to Europe and America, they became fashionable accessories for noblewomen. The materials used to make Chinese fans were mostly exquisitely carved ivory, pearls and shells and lacquer. These Chinese fans showed many figures of Mandarins and their consorts. Mysterious oriental sentiment as they presented, each lady in upper-middle class family at that time owned a Chinese fan to show off her wealth and nobility.

  四级英语翻译训练讲解

  1.雕刻精美、描绘华丽:“精美”可译为exquisitely; “华丽”可译为gorgeously;这两个词都不常用,也可以用beautifully一词表达。

  2.被…青睐:可译为 find favour in one's eyes 或 be in good graces of,属固定表达。

  3.运往:译此词时需注意到19世纪的主要运输工具是船运,所以最好用ship。

  4.成为西方贵妇的重要时尚配件:运往欧洲自然是提供给“西方”贵妇,英译时不必再译出western;配件为accessories,注意该词的拼写。

  5.清朝官员:可直译为Qin officials。但在英语中也可以用Mandarin来表示旧中国的官员。

  6.夫人:在书面语中表达“夫人”用consort比wife要更正式一些。

  7.情调:指“情感体验”,可译为sentiment或者sentimental tone。 

  四级英语翻译训练原文

  “功夫(Kungfu)”是对中国武术(martial art)的通俗叫法。中国功夫不是单纯的拳脚格斗,而是中华民族传统文化的体现,是独一无二的“武文化”。中国功夫因其悠久的历史、丰富的内涵(connotation)以及浓厚的神秘色彩而越来越为中外所瞩目。中国功夫在世界上的影响日渐广泛,不仅出现了大量中国功夫题材的中外影视作品,更有越来越多的外国人开始喜爱并学习中国功夫。

  四级英语翻译训练译文

  Kungfu is a common name for Chinese martial art. While Kungfu does not simply refer to fighting using hands and feet, it is the embodiment of the Chinese traditional culture and the unique “martial art culture”. Kungfu is drawing more and more attention at home and abroad for its long history, rich connotation and deep mysterious color. Kungfu's influence in the world is increasingly widespread. There are a large number of Chinese and foreign films on the theme of Kungfu, and more and more foreigners begin to love and learn Kungfu.

  四级英语翻译训练讲解

  1.通俗叫法:就是指“通常的或流行的叫法”,可译为common name或 popular name。

  2.中国功夫:很多考生可能会将其译为Chinese Kungfu,其实只用Kungfu 一词就足够了,因为功夫本就是中国所特有的,不必再用Chinese修饰。

  3.独一无二的“武文化”:“独一无二的”用unique表达最为恰当;“武文化” 指的是“武术文化”,因此翻译为martial art culture。

  4.越来越为中外所瞩目:即“在中国和国外受到了越来越多的重视”,这样转化后就更容易翻译了,可译为drawmore and more attention at home and abroad。

  5.丰富的内涵以及來厚的神秘色彩:可译为rich connotation and deep mysterious color,在翻译此类短语时要注意选择恰当的词语。
