  【翻译原文】

  尽管中国古代神话(mythology)没有十分完整的情节,神话人物也没有系统的家谱(genealogy),但它们却有着鲜明的东方文化特色,其中尤为显著的是它的尚德精神(the spirit of esteeming virtue)。这种尚德精神在与西方神话特别是希腊神话比较时,显得更加突出。在西方神话尤其是希腊神话中,对神的褒贬标准多以智慧、力量为准则,而中国古代神话对神的褒贬则多以道德为准绳。这种思维方式深植于中国的文化之中。几千年来,这种尚德精神影响着人们对历史人物的品评与现实人物的期望。

  【参考译文】

  Although ancient Chinese mythology does not haverelatively complete plot and mythological figuresdon't have systematic genealogy, they havedistinct features of oriental culture, among whichthe spirit of esteeming virtue is particularlysignificant.When compared with Western mythology, especially Greek mythology, this spirit ofesteeming virtue is even more prominent.In Western mythology, especially Greekmythology,the criteria for judging whether a god is good or not are mostly the god's wisdomand strength,while in ancient Chinese mythology, the criterion lies in morality. This way ofthinking is deeply rooted in Chinese culture.For thousands of years, this spirit of esteemingvirtue has affected people's comments on historical figures and expectations of real people.

  1.神话人物:可译为mythological figures。

  2.系统的家谱:可译为systematic genealogy。其中systematic意为系统的,是system的形容词形式。

  3.其中尤为显著的是它的尚德精神:将此句译为定语从句among which the spirit of esteeming virtue isparticularly significant,承接前一句,可以使译文结构更加紧凑,逻辑更加清晰。


 

  【翻译原文】

  一想到中国,人们脑海中闪现的第一件事便是丝绸。中国是丝绸的发源地,今天仍在生产一些世界上最好的丝绸。在中国,探索丝绸奥妙最好的地方是苏州。正是在那里,诞生了第一批丝绣(silk embroidery),如今苏州仍在生产中国最好的丝绸。丝绸可以用合成纤维(synthetic fibre)和人造纤维等制成,但最优质的丝绸是由桑蚕丝(mulberry silk)制成的。桑蚕(silkworm)纯粹以桑叶喂食。苏州丝绸可以制成很多产品,最常见的是衣服和围巾,但也能做成鞋、餐巾、玩具,甚至风筝。

  【参考译文】

  When people think of China, silk is the first thingthat pops into their mind. China is the birthplace ofsilk, and still produces some of the finest silk in theworld. In China, the best place to discover thewonder of silk is the city of Suzhou. It was therethat some of the first silk embroideries were born, and Suzhou is still producing the best silks inChina. Silk can be produced from synthetic fibre and artificial fibre, etc., but the finest qualitysilk is made from mulberry silk. The silkworms are fed purely on mulberry leaves. Suzhou Silkcan be made into a great many products, the most commonly being clothing and scarves, and itcan be made into shoes, napkin, toys, and even kites as well.

  1.想到:可译为think of。后半句的pops into mind也可表示“想到”,而think over则为“仔细考虑”的意思。

  2.探索丝绸奥妙最好的地方:本句看似可以用定语从句来修饰主语,其实用动词不定式作后置定语来翻译更为简洁。

  3.正是在那里,诞生了第一批丝绣:本句可以用it is+that的强调句式来表达,即 It was there that some of thefirst silk embroideries were born.这会给整体的翻译增加得分点。
