land)，中國養活了世界1/5以上的人口。1.第2句為無被動標識詞的被動句，翻譯時要用被動語態，可譯作Crops

as

rice

and

wheat

werefirst

produced

in

China。2.第3句中的動作“拾分重視”、“不停加大”是“新中國成立後”持續發生的動作，故該句用目前完畢進行時態。仔細分析發現，“拾分重視……，不停加大……”為兩個并列的動作作謂語，而“加速了……”則表成果，可處理為成果狀語，故本句譯為

the

Boat

Race)。1.第3句中的定語“具有庇佑能力并能影響人們生活的”較長，可將其處理成後置定語，用介詞短語來表達；“具有......能力并能......”可合譯成a

power

to...and...；“動物”譯為creature(生物、發明物）比animal更確切，由于“龍”并不是真正存在。2.第4句中“象征著尊嚴和權利”是對“真龍天子”的補充闡明，可將其處理成同位語，譯為a

symbol

ofdignity

and

power。3.倒數第2句為無主語句，省略了主語“人們”，該主語不需要被強調闡明，故此句可譯為被動句式，即Manylegends

and

stories...

dragon表達。“在民間”為狀語，可譯作among

the

people，置于句末。4.最終一句中的“其中”一詞表達賽龍舟屬于前面提到的folk

activities，故“其中……賽龍舟”可處理成非限制性定語從句，用

among

來引導，譯為

Environment

Protection

Ministry)公布了今年上六個月空氣質量狀況匯報。匯報稱，除了拉薩(Lhasa)、海口、舟山和惠州四個都市，中國其他重要大都市的空氣質量均未達標。導致這一成果的原因有諸多，其中包括不停增長的機動車數量和工業品產量。空氣污染狀況的不停惡化嚴重威脅公眾的健康。一位官員表達，一份意在控制空氣污染的方案將在年內公布。1.第1句中的定語“今年上六個月空氣質量狀況”較長，故將其處理成後置定語，用介詞短語on

air

in

thefirst

half

of

this

year來表達，漢語中表達范圍的“狀況”一詞按英文表達習慣可以省譯。2.第2句中的“中國其他重要大都市的空氣質量均未達標”假如逐字對譯則語句生硬，表達效果平平。翻譯時，宜采用“否認前移”的措施，對主語“中國其他大都市”進行否認，謂語則變為肯定，譯為no

other

major

city...is

up

to...。3.第3句“導致這一成果的原因有諸多，其中包括……”可直譯為manyreasons

to

the

consequence,including...，但為了突出原文中的兩個原因，可將原因置于句首，譯作growing

motor

vehicles...areaamong...factors

Zodiac)。每一年由一種動物代表，每隔進行一種循環，從鼠開始，以豬為結尾。每一種動物尚有其獨特的文化內涵(cultural

connotation}。例如，牛年出生的人聽說“勤奮、冷靜、可靠”，虎年出生的人則“強大、勇敢、但又急躁”。拾二生肖在亞洲的其他國家，如韓國和曰本也很流行。1.第1句中的“為了讓人們更好地記住年份”，假如直譯成in

worker)是從農村到都市來尋找工作的農民。她們在建筑工地、工廠、飯店以及家政服務業尋求工作。這些農民工推進著中國經濟的迅速增長。據報道，去年中國有1.67億農民工。這個龐大的群體時常面臨著被拖欠工資(pay

arrears)、缺乏工傷賠償(workplace

workplace

injurycompensation)和醫療保障，以及子女上學難等諸多問題。近幾年，中國政府曰益改善農民工的權益。1.第1句中的定語“從農村到都市來尋找工作的”較長，故將其處理成後置定語，譯作from

countrysidelooking

for

jobs

in

the

cities。2.仔細分析後發現，第2句和第3句之間的關聯性較強，宜將第3句處理成主干（they

Qing

Dynasty)末年。自新中國成立後，中國的鐵路得到了飛速發展。目前中國擁有僅次于美國和俄羅斯的全球第三大鐵路網。在中國，鐵路是國家重要的基翅設施(infrastructure)、大眾化的交通工具。每逢寒暑假、節假曰，總會出現“一票難求”的現象。據報道，中國將優先發展西部地區，尤其是貧困地區的鐵路，引導當地人民走向致富之路。第2句“中國的鐵路得到了飛速發展”假如直譯為

Chinese

railway

has

developed

rapidly則顯平淡，此處可用see表達“（時代等）以…為特點，歷經……”的意義，將其譯為Chinese

railway

seen

rapiddevelopment，這樣譯文更生動地道。

2.第3句中的定語“僅次于美國和俄羅斯的”較長，故將其處理成後置定語，表達為only

second

to

the

UnitedStates

and

Russia.

3.第5句“總會出現‘一票難求’的現象”是漢語中的無主語句，其常見的處理方式有：增添主語；譯為被動語態；譯成there

be結抅；使用形式主語it。結合該句，可使用形式主語it，譯成it

is

difficult

to

get

a

find

to...,“一票難求”可用

find

to

4.最終一句中的“優先發展……”和“引導當地人民走向致富之路”在原文中是并列構造，但實際上後者表目的，故將其譯作目的狀語to

lead

to

for

local

people,“引導走向致富之路”用短語lead

to

比直譯為lead

always

fill...

with

red

things?！皝肀磉_祝愿和尊重”表目的，故將其譯作目的狀語to

expressblessings

and

respects。2.仔細分析可發現,第3句“這是由于中國人將紅色看作是幸福、成功和好運的象征”中的“這”指代前面—句的論述,故可以將此句和前一句合譯，用表原因的連詞for引出狀語從句for

they...?！凹t色”在翻譯時要增譯thecolor才符合英語“形合”的特點。定語“幸福、成功和好運的”較長，故將其處理成後置定語，用of引出，表達為of

haziness,

success,

and

good

luck。3.第5句中的主語“邀請親朋好友來參與婚禮”可用分詞短語Invitingrelatives

and

Mends

to

the

wedding

來表達。主謂人稱和數相一致的原則，此處主語是指一件事情，故謂語用第三人稱單數形式。4.最終一句“聲音一般很響，響到足以......”，假如逐字對譯為the

YuanDynasty)，如今大部分胡同是在明清時代(the

Ming

and

Dynasties)形成的。據專家考證，“胡同”一詞源干蒙古語(Mongolian)的“井”。自古以來胡同都是北京城裏一般市民生息的場所，可以說是北京平民文化的代表。但伴隨人口的增長，諸多古老的胡同已經消失，取而代之的是現代化的卻沒有特色的高樓大廈。1.第1句中的“有著與北京城同樣長遠的歷史”用介詞短語witha

history

as

long

as

that

of

Bering

city

來表達，以插入語形式置于主語之後，這樣整個句子的中心更突出。2.第2句“最早的胡同出目前……”翻譯時轉換成“胡同最早出目前……”(Hutong

first

appeared..)更符合英語的表達習慣?！昂窃诿?、清時代形成的”雖然形式上是積極的，但意義上卻表被動，故翻譯時轉換成被動講態，譯作

Hutongs

were

formed

during

the

Ming

and

Qing

Dynasties。3.第4句“自古以來胡同都是......”用完畢時態Hutong

has

always

been...與since

ancient

times搭配，很好地表達了這種狀態的延續性。4.最終一句中的“取而代之的是現代化的卻沒有特色的高樓大廈”假如逐字對譯為and

are

replaced

by

themodern

but

not

characterized

high-rise

buildings則顯生硬，不如選用意為“給......讓出地方”的短語tomake

for來作前一種分句的目的狀語，這樣譯文更生動流暢。Hutong,

of

+...”的所有格形式，表所屬。2.第3句分句較多，信息較零碎，但仔細分析可發現到達人與環境友好，并使人得益于環境”是目的，而“通過調整建筑的設計與擺設”是方式，故翻譯本句時宜變化句子的語序，把表達目的內容作為句子的主干,而“通過調整”則譯成through引導的方式狀語置後。3.第4句“風水也有迷信的一面”，可譯成“be
