  2018考博英语翻译练习:中国神话故事

  考博英语翻译题型多为汉译英,各博士招生院校大多都有此题型,考博英语复习初期阶段新东方在线考博频道为考博生们整理了一些考博英语翻译练习,供大家平日复习。

  中国神话故事

  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。

  译文:

  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.

  2018考博英语翻译练习:算盘

  考博英语翻译题型多为汉译英,各博士招生院校大多都有此题型,考博英语复习初期阶段新东方在线考博频道为考博生们整理了一些考博英语翻译练习,供大家平日复习。

  算盘(abacus)是中国古代的一项伟大发明。在古代,人们用小木棍进行计算随着社会的发展,需要计算的数目越来越大,用小木棍已无法宪成计算。于是,人们发明了更为高级的计算工具一一算盘。由于算盘操作方便、简单易学,因此在中国被广泛使用。在算盘的基础上,有人发展了珠心算(mental abacus),即把算盘的形象描绘在脑海中来计算数字。

  1.第1句由3个短句构成,第1个短句译成介词短语Withthesocial development或连词as引出的从句As the societydeveloped;第2个短句可处理为主句,当中的定语“需要计算的”可译为分词短语 needed to calculate,作后置定语;第3个短句则处理成用which引导的非限制性定语从句,套用make it impossible for sb./sth. to do sth.的结构,译成which made it impossible for the rods to fulfill the task,为了避免重复,把“完成计算”转译成了“完成任务”。

  2.第4句中破折号后的内容“算盘”是前面“更为高级的计算工具”的同位语,译文处也可用破折号引出。

  3.第5句中的“由于算盘操作方便、简单易学”可套用英语常用句式It is+ a. + to do sth.,译为Since it wasconvenient to use and easy to learn。虽然中文出现了“由于......因此......”,但译为英语时不能同时出现“Since... so...”。

  4.最后一句中的“有人发展了珠心算”如果逐字对译为someonehas developed...则显晦涩,且主语“有人”无需强调,故转换主语为“珠心算”,用there came句型,表存现状态。“即把算盘的形象……”是对“珠心算”的补充说明,可用介词短语 with the image of an abacus in mind to calculate the figures 来表达。

  参考译文:

  The abacus is a great invention in ancient China. Inthe old times, people used small rods to count, Withthe social development, numbers needed tocalculate were increasingly greater, which made itimpossible for the rods to fulfill the task. Thus,people invented a more advanced calculating devicethe abacus. Since it was convenient to use and easy to learn,the abacus was widely used inChina. On the basis of the abacus, there came the mental abacus with the image of anabacus in mind to calculate the figures.

  2018考博英语翻译练习:茉莉花

  考博英语翻译题型多为汉译英,各博士招生院校大多都有此题型,考博英语复习初期阶段新东方在线考博频道为考博生们整理了一些考博英语翻译练习,供大家平日复习。

  据说《茉莉花》(Jasmine Flower)是流传到海外的第一首中国民歌。许多国外学者在研究中国音乐史时都提到了《茉莉花》,不少外国人学唱中文歌时首选这首歌。2004年雅典奥运会(Athens Olympics)闭幕式上, 一位中国小姑娘唱起《茉莉花》,给所有观众留下了深刻的印象。2008年北京奥运会,《茉莉花》被选为颁奖典礼 (awarding ceremony)的音乐。这首歌带给我们美好艺术享受的同时也带给我们骄傲。

  1.第1句“据说《茉莉花》是……第一首中国民歌”可译为It issaid that Jasmine flower is the first...,但不如译文说的Jasmine Flower is said to be the first...来得简单。定语“流传到海外的”较长,故将其处理成后置定语,用表被动的过去分词短语introduced to foreign countries来表达。

  2.第2句中的“在研究中国音乐史时”为时间状语,处理成从句,英译时需增译出从句主语they,表达为whenthey study the history of Chinese music,置于主句之后。“不少外国人学唱中文歌时首选这首歌”可逐字对译为 many foreigners who would like to learn to sing Chinese songs would first choose thissong,但译文繁冗拗口。根据“汉语多用动词,英语多用名词”的表达差异,考虑将“首选这首歌”译为the firstchoice,用结构 it is the first choice for sb.译出。

  3.第3句中的“给所有现众留下了深刻的印象”可用并列结构and greatly impressed...,但不如将其处理成非限制性定语从句好,译作which greatly impressed all the audiences更能体现原文的逻辑关系。

  4.最后一句“这首歌带给我们……的同时也…”可套用句型sth brings sb. both... and...,故译为This songbrings us both great artistic enjoyment and pride。

  参考译文:

  Jasmine Flower is said to be the first Chinese folksong introduced to foreign countries. A lot ofscholars abroad have mentioned Jasmine Flowerwhen they study the history of Chinese music. It isthe first choice for many foreigners who would like tolearn to sing Chinese songs. In closing ceremony ofthe 2004 Athens Olympics, a Chinese girl sang this song, which greatly impressed all theaudiences. In 2008 Beijing Olympics, it was chosen as the music played in awarding ceremony.This song brings us both great artistic enjoyment and pride.

  2018考博英语翻译练习:景德镇

  考博英语翻译题型多为汉译英,各博士招生院校大多都有此题型,考博英语复习初期阶段新东方在线考博频道为考博生们整理了一些考博英语翻译练习,供大家平日复习。

  景德镇,原名昌南,位于江西省境内。景德镇历史悠久,是中国历的四大名镇之一。景德镇因其瓷器(chinaware)的生产而闻名,据记载,其瓷器生产可以追溯到汉代(the HanDynasty)。在明代 Ming Dynasty),大量景德镇瓷器销往国外,极大地推动了景德镇陶瓷的对外贸易,扩大了中国陶瓷的影响。由于制造历史久远、瓷器产品质地精良、对外销量大,景德镇获得了“瓷都”(capical of chinaware)的称号。

  1.第1句中将“原名昌南”处理为插入语,用分词短语formerlynamed Changnan来表达,也可处理为Whose 引导的非限制性定语从句,译作whose former name was Changnan。

  2.第2句中的“景德镇历史悠久,是中国……”,将“历史悠久”处理为“with+名词短语”作状语,将后半句作主句,译作 With a long history, Jingdezhen is...,表达简洁紧凑。

  3.第4句“在明代,大量景德镇瓷器销往国外,极大地推动了……,扩大了……”较长,注意分析各个分句之间的关系:“在明代”为时间状语置于句首,“大量景德镇瓷器销往国外”为原因,作主句,“极大地推动了……, 扩大了……”为结果,将其处理为结果状语,用现在分词短语来表达,整句译作In the Ming Dynasty, lots of Jingdezhen's chinaware was exported to foreign countries, greatly promoting...and extending... 。

  4.翻译最后一句“由于制瓷历史久远、瓷器产品质地精良、对外销量大,景德镇获得了‘瓷都’的称号”时,如果逐字对译为 because of its long history of chinaware production... Jingdezhen has earned the title of...,则会由于原因状语过长而使句子显得头重脚轻。宜将原因状语后置。此处的“由于”为褒义,用thanks to 表达更确切,故译为 Jingdezhen has earned the title of..., thanks to...。

  参考译文:

  Jingdezhen, formerly named Changnan, is located inJiangxi Province. With a long history, Jingdezhen isone of the four famous towns in Chinese history.Jingdezhen is famous for its production of chinaware.It is recorded that Jingdezhen's production ofchinaware can date back to the Han Dynasty.
