倍数及其他数量表示法的翻译

1.Likewise in agriculture, the number of farms in the United States tripled between 1860 and

1910.

农业方面也是如此,1910年美国的农场数目是1860年的3倍。(或:增加了2倍)2.By 1849 the wheat crop of Virginia was worth twice as much as the tobacco crop.

(J. Garraty) 到1849年,弗吉尼亚州的小麦产值比烟草产值高出了1倍。(或:是烟草的2倍)

4.Japan is already on the verge of becoming the world’s second greatest industrial power —

and China has nine times the population of Japan, and an incomparably greater wealth of natural resources. (R. Nixon) 日本即将成为世界第二经济大国,而中国人口则9倍于日本,并拥有无与伦比的自然资源和财富。(或:人口比日本多8倍)

5.In population, New York State, with 16,782,304 people (in 1960) has 74 times as many as

people in Alaska, with226,167.

就人口而论,纽约州在1960年有16 782 304人,相当于阿拉斯加的226 167人的74倍。

(或:比阿拉斯加多73倍)

6.Even if the husbands smoked only one to 19 cigarettes a day, non-smoking wives faced one

and one half times the normal threat of lung cancer. Non-smoking wives of farm workers who smoked more than 40 cigarettes a day were found to face a four and one half times greater than normal threat of lung cancer. (J. Huizenga) 即使丈夫每天只抽1-19支烟,不抽烟的妻子所面临的肺癌威也是一般人的一倍半。每天抽40支烟的农业工人的不抽烟的妻子所面临的肺癌威胁要比一般人高三倍半。(或:是……的四倍半)

7.In 1766 the English scientists Henry Cavendish had shown that hydrogen was seven time

lighter than air.

9.Since the roads do not spread out in search of nourishment, six times as many plants can be

raised in the same space needed for earth farming.

(或:比一般……多5倍)

10.Herman Miller, one of the best-known authorities on income statistics, has computed that the

white Southern college graduate receives l.85 times the compensation of his Negro counterparts, and in the North the white edge is l. 50. (M. Harrington) 在收入统计方面最负盛名的权威人士之一赫曼·米勒曾经计算过,在南方,一个白人大

学毕业生所获得的报酬为黑人大学毕业生的1. 85倍,在北方则为1.59倍。(或:相当于……的……倍)

或:白人大学毕业生与黑人大学毕业生所得报酬的比例为1.85比1。在北方,二者的比例则为1.59比1。

*注意:汉语一般不说“比……高0.85倍”,倍数必须大于一,小于一倍时用百分比,可以说“比……高85 %”;

11.In Mexico, English speaking secretaries can double their wages; in Egypt, their pay goes up

10 times.

在墨西哥,能说英语的秘书的薪金可以(比不能说英语的秘书的薪金)多1倍(或:可以加倍挣钱);在埃及,他们的工资比一般秘书高9倍。(或:则10倍于:为/是……

的10倍)

12.If this is true of the rich, it is ten times true of the poor. (M. Harrington)

如果说富人的情况是这样的话,那么穷人更10倍于这种情况了。

*注意:这种倍数属于比喻说法,不应依“比……减一倍”的翻译式。又如“你比他强十倍”这句汉语译成英语时也不能在倍数上加一。

It makes me feel fifty times better than when I’m cooped up in that dormitory with three hundred others. (A. Sillitoe) 我觉得这比和其他300人一起给关在宿舍里强50倍。

13.(In the Unites States), one of every 10 nonwhites 65 0r older has diabetes. A really fat man is

20 times more likely to get diabetes than a thin man is.

(在美国),每10个65岁以上的非白种人中就有一个患糖尿病。胖人比瘦人得糖尿病的可能性大20倍。

*注意:句中这种倍数按“比……倍”式翻译时也不必减一,目的是求其整数,比较自然。

实际上这类可能性的大倍数中的基数对总数来说意义不大。

14.A study in 21 countries shows that women using the pill for birth control are 5 times more

likely to die of heart disease or hypertension than nonusers. But a Harvard Medical School study says that pregnancy is 5 times as likely to kill a woman as is the pill.

(M. Feinsilber and W. Mead) 根据21个国家的情况所作的一份调查报告表明:使用口服避孕的妇女因心脏病或高血压致死的可能性5倍于不使用这种避孕药的妇女。(或:比……大4倍,倍数较少,每一个基数的意义比较大)但哈佛大学医学院的一份研究报告则说,妇女因怀孕致死的可能性5倍于服口服避孕药致死的可能性。

15.The volume of western commerce over the Erie in 1851mounted to more than 20 times what it

had been in 1836, while the value of western goods reaching New Orleans in this period had increased only two-and-a-half times. (J. Garraty) 1851年时西部与伊利人的贸易总额已20倍于1836年的总数。(或:比……增长19倍)而在同一时期到达新奥尔良的西部货物的总值则比原来的总值仅仅增长了一倍半。(不用“两倍半于”,注意选择现代汉语中比较常用的表达法)。

16.Shaklee Corp., a food supplier, is up 372 percent-from$ 15.12 to around $ 71.

克利公司(美一家食品公司)的股票增长了372 %,从15.12美元上升到大约71美元。

*注意:用百分比表示增长在现代英语中似比倍数更为常见。因为这表达法比用倍数更简单明白。

17.He openly called on the President to trim his 1983 defense budget by 10 billion t0 15 billion

dollars before sending it to Capitol Hill.

他曾公开请求总统在将预算提交国会以前,将1983年度国防预算削减100亿至150亿美元。

*此处介词by引导增加或减少的数字(包括百分比)时,指净增或净减的数量(即增或减的幅度),不包括基数。如:Outputs of other crops increased by 15 t0 20 percent.其他谷物产量分别增加了一成半至二成。

18.U.S. imports of crude oil eventually would probably rise by a million bbl. a day or more. That

would about cut in half the shortfall of 2. 2 million bbl. a day now projected for the second and third quarters.

美国原油的输入最终可能每天增加100万桶或更多。这样就使目前预计将在第二和第三季度出现的每天220万桶的缺额减少一半左右。*注意减少的说法及译法。

19.There also were 47 per cent fewer heart attacks among the men who had changed to low

cholesterol foods. Men in the experimental group also cut their use of cigarettes by about47 percent.

在改食低胆固醇食物的男人中,心脏病突发率减少了74 %。实验小组中的男人的吸烟量也减少了47 %。

20.They expect their income from mineral production this year to drop to some 26 million dollars,

about 7 million less than in1982.

他们预计,他们今年的矿业生产收人将降低到大约2 600万美元,比1982年少大约700万美元。

21.Consumption of oil in the U.S. will rise by an average of 2percent yearly through the year

2000. Imports will be reduced by an average of l percent yearly during the same time.

到公元2000年为止,美国石油的消耗量将每年平均递增2%,石油进口量将每年平均递降1 %。

22.That (future job opportunities) may be one reason retail sales jumped l. 6 percent.

未来可能出现较多的就业机会也许是使零售额增加了1.6%的原因之一。

*在增、减幅度前也可以不用by,此句动词用的是jump,汉语一般还是用“增加了”(或“提高了”),减少或降低时相同。注意由净增(或净减)数量,所以不能译成增加(或减少)到(或到了)……

23.Prices are another bright spot: Over all, they eased again at the Producer level- down 0. 8

percent in April on an annual basis. The bad news: Food, up l.2 percent in April alone—a possible sign of hikes ahead.

物价是另一个令人颇为乐观的方面:总的说来,物价再次稳定在出厂价格水平,4月份在全年基础上下降了0.8%。但也有坏消息,食品仅在4月份即上涨了1. 2%,这是今后仍可能上涨的先兆。*同上句。不要译成“下降到、上涨到”,而是“下降了、上涨了”。

24.One of every 26 American wives is beaten by her husband, at least occasionally. So says the U.

S. Commission on Civil Rights.

据美国民权委员会披露,每26对美国夫妇中有一对中的丈夫是打老婆的,至少是偶尔为之。

*注意以下说法:one out of ten或one of every ten都是每10 个中即有1个,如指排列的物件,译成“每隔……”时则要减1;ne of every ten是每隔9个即有1个。

结语

一、翻译英语倍数时最紧要的问题与其说是对原文的理解,毋宁说是汉语的表达法。汉语如

何措辞、用哪种句式,关系极大。英语大体有以下五种表达法,请注意如何因使用不同的汉语措辞而改变译文中的倍数表示法:

(1) n times larger than

(a)比……大n-l倍(按原文减1倍)

(b)是……的n倍(照原文倍数)

(c) n倍于……(照原文倍数)c

(2) n times as large as

(a)高度是(为)……的n倍(照原文倍数)

(b)高度n倍于……(照原文倍数)

(c)比……高n-l倍(按原文减1倍)

(3) n times the...of (e.g.., five times the energy of)

(a)(能量)为……的n倍(照原文倍数)

(b) n倍于……的(能量)(照原文倍数)

(c)(能量)比……大n-l倍(按原文减1倍)

(4) increase n times (as against)

(a)比……增加了n-l倍(按原文减1倍)

(b)在……的基础上增加到原数的n倍(照原文倍数)

(5) double the output

(a)产量翻了一番

(b)产量比原数增长了1倍

二、英语中属于比喻的倍数,,无非是为了言其大、言其多等等,没有什么精确的数量意义,所以不必考虑“减1不减1”的问题。

三、整数有一种直观的整体感,比较悦目,所以不必拘泥于“减1不减1”的问题,如“200”比“199”看来悦目,特别是倍数特别大时,更不必改动原文倍数。

常用英语数字的翻译方法

常用英语数字的翻译方法 英语中的有些数词在汉译时可以等值翻译。但是,也有不少数词在汉译中不能等值翻译,或者完全不译出来。这种翻译处理方法是为了使汉译句子能符合汉语的表达习惯。以下分别举例说明。 (1)等值翻译: a drop in the ocean沧海一粟 within a stone…s throw一箭之遥 ki11 two birds with one stone一箭双雕 A fall into the pit, a gain in your wit.。吃一堑,长一智。(2)不等值翻译: at sixes and sevens乱七八糟 on second thoughts再三考虑 by ones and twos两两地,零零落落地 Two heads are better than one.三个臭皮匠胜过诸葛亮。 -Can you come down a little?-Sorry,it…s one price for all. 你能便宜一点卖吗?对不起,不二价。 He had one over the eight after be drank only half bottle of the wine. 他才喝了半瓶酒就醉得七歪八倒了。(3)不必译出 One man…s meat is another man?s poison.人各有所好。 I…ll love you three score and ten.我会一辈子爱你的。 Ten to one he has forgotten it.很可能他已经忘了。

His mark in math is second to none in the class. 他的数学分数在班上是名列前茅的。 She is a second Lei Feng.她是雷锋式的人物。 I always believe my sixth sense.我总相信我的直觉。 He talks about you nine times out of ten when we have a chitchat. 每次我们闲聊他几乎都谈及你。 The parson official1y pronounced that they became one.牧师正式宣告他们成婚。 I used to study in France in the year one. 我早年曾在法国学习。 不定冠词a的翻译特点 英语中不定冠词a(an)相当活跃,就连英美的作家有时对它也看法不一。现用实例来说明在翻译中常出现的一些非常规用法。 (1)a day or two(=one or two days)一两天 但前者作主语时,谓语动词用单数、复数均可;后者作主语时,谓语用复数形式。 (2)more than a year一年多的时间(即一年零几个月);比较more than one year不止一年的时间(即两年。三年……)。 (3)a ten years l0年 a dozen times l2次 用在基数词前表示一个数量单位。 (4)once upon a time从前

英语翻译中的数字表达

英语翻译中的数字表达 在汉英笔译和英语写作中,经常会遇到数字;哪些场合用单词表示,哪些场合用阿拉伯数字表示,往往使人难以确定,现行语法书中也极少涉及此类问题。 实际上,以英语为母语的国家,在书写数字时已形成几条约定俗成的规则,现总结如下供读者参考。 一. 英美等国的出版社在排版时遵循一条原则,即1至10用单词表示,10以上的数目用阿拉伯数字(也有的以100为界限),这条原则值得我们行文时借鉴。 Eg. That table measures ten feet by five. 那个工作台长10英尺,宽5英尺。Eg. The traditional pattern of classroom experience at the college level brings the professor and a group of 20 to 30 students together for a 45-to-50-minute class session two or three times a week. 由一个教授和十名学生每周会晤两三次,每次授课时间45到50分钟,是大学程度课堂教学的传统方式。 二. 人数用阿技伯数字表示显得更简洁明了,但不定数量、近似值用单词表示较恰当。 Eg. There are 203817 voters on the electoral rolls. 选举名单上有203817个投票人。 Eg. Nearly thirty thousand voters took part in this election. 近3万个投票人参加了这次选举。 三. 遇到日期、百分比、带单位的特殊数字,通常用阿拉伯数字。 Eg. Maximum swivel of table is l20. 工作台的最大回转角度是120度。 Eg. 3rd March l991或3 March l991; a discount of 5 percent(5%的折扣); Eg. purchased 7 yards of carpet(买7码地毯); Eg. ordered 2 pounds of minced steak (订购2磅剁碎的肉)。 如果涉及的数目和单位是不定数,可用单词表示。 Eg. about five miles per hour(每小时大约5英里) Eg. at least ten yards away(至少有10码远) Eg. hesitated for a moment or two(犹豫了片刻) Eg. I have warned you a hundred times(我已经警告你多少遍了)。 四. 在科技文章中,数字频繁出现,用阿拉伯数字比用单词陈述更有利。 Eg. The new engine has a capacity of 4.3 litres and a power out-put of 153 kilowatts at 4400 revolutions per minute. 这台新发动机的容积为4.3升,转速为每分钟4400转时输出功率是153千瓦。 Eg. We know that the weight of a cubic foot of air at 0oC and 76cm,pressure is 0.08l pound, or 12 cubic feet of air weigh a pound. 我们知道,1立方英尺的空气在0摄氏度和760毫米汞柱压力下,重量是0.81磅,也就是说12立方英尺空气的重量是1磅。 五. 句首不用阿拉伯数字,句末要尽量避免用阿拉伯数字。 Eg. 4th July is an important date in American history.

Only when we have mastered the different body languages can we communicate well with them. 2. This is what our life will be like in the future. 【解析】 【分析】 本大题为根据括号内的要求把汉语句子翻译成英语。翻译时尽可能地精确,按照要求翻译还要注意某些特殊的语法项目。如倒装句式等。 1.考查倒装句式。本大题要求用only+状语从句来翻译。Only+状语从句置于句首,主句要部分倒装。因此本句要翻译成部分倒装。同时要注意运用短语如肢体语言可译成“body languages”,与某人交流可译为“ communicate with”。因此本句可译为Only when we have mastered the different body languages can we communicate well with them。 2.考查由what引导的名词从句。分析句子可知,本句是一个表语从句,表语从句中的介词like缺少宾语,可用what引导。因此本句可译为:This is what our life will be like in the future. 2.高中英语翻译题:Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets. 1.熬夜大大影响健康。(affect) _________________________ 2.等他明年回来,这个体育馆就建好了。(by the time) _________________________ 3.从长远来看,你的知识面越广,就越有能力应付工作中的问题。(capable) _________________________ 4.据信,过分溺爱孩子会不知不觉地造成孩子的坏脾气,甚至缺乏自理能力。(It) _________________________ 【答案】 1.Staying up late affects one’s health greatly. 2.By the time he comes back next year, the stadium will have been set up. 3.In the long run, the wider range of knowledge you have, the more capable you are of dealing

广告翻译课后练习

Passage 1: 1. Flowers by Interflora speaks from the heart. (Interflora花店) 2. A deal with us means a good deal to you. (某贸易公司) 3. Spoil yourself and not your figure. (Weight-Watcher牌冰淇淋) 4. A Mars a day keeps you work, rest and play. (Mars牌巧克力) 5. The driver is safer when the road is dry; The road is safer when the driver is dry. (交通宣传广告语) 6. Hi-fi, Hi-fun, Hi-fashion, only for Sony. (索尼音响) 7. FedEx: We live to deliver. (联邦快递) 8. Empowered by Innovation. (NEC公司) 9. We take no pride in prejudice. (《泰晤士报》广告语) 10. Wherever you are. Whatever you do. The Allianz Group is always on your side. (安联集团) 提示: 1.Interflora是一家花店的名字。广告语中使用了拟人的手法,突出鲜花代表的甜蜜和温馨。这种感情必须在译文中体现出来。 2.这里的a good deal有双重意思,即“一笔好买卖”和“许多”。翻译时要想办法把这两层意思都体现出来。 3.这条广告除了简短和口语化之外,还突出了spoil这个词的语义双关的特点:You can spoil yourself by eating a lot of our ice cream, but you don’t have to worry about spoiling your body figure. 怎样译才能把spoil的两层意思译出来呢? 4.很显然,这条广告的特点是day和play之间的押韵,它是模仿An apple a day keeps the doctor away写的,这种手法叫做仿拟。 5.这两个句子除了整齐对称之外,还有一个特点就是突出了road, driver, safer, dry这四个词,而且dry这个词是语义双关。前半句的dry是指没水,后半句的dry是指不饮酒。翻译时应考虑这些因素。6.Hi-fi是high fidelity的缩写形式。这条广告的特点是:Hi重复了三次,并且fi, fun, fashion三个词的首字母都是f。但在翻译时,这第二个特点恐怕是很难表现出来的,只有将它舍弃。 7.动词deliver有两层意思:一是字面上的递送之意,二是暗含的承诺(commitment)之意;live to 是身体力行的意思。 8.有人把它翻译成“创新科技,随你而动”,你觉得准确吗?广告翻译时也必须要准确地理解原文的意思,不能随心所欲。Empowered by Innovation是用创新推动技术进步和企业前进的意思。怎么译更合适呢?9.看到这条广告我们自然会想到名著《傲慢与偏见》,实际上它也正是使用了仿拟的手法。那么对于一个报社来说pride和prejudice会指什么呢? 10.这里我们是否需要把每个字都译出来呢?适当的省略可以吗?

综合英语课文翻译练习及答案

Lesson One: The Time Message Elwood N, Chapman 新的学习任务开始之际,千头万绪,最重要的是安排好时间,做时间的主人。本文作者提出了7点具体建议,或许对你有所启迪。 1 Time is tricky. It is difficult to control and easy to waste. When you look ahead, you think you have more time than you need. For Example,at the beginning of a semester, you may feel that you have plenty of time on your hands, but toward the end of the term you may suddenly find that time is running out. You don't have enough time to cover all your duties (duty), so you get worried. What is the answer? Control!译:时间真是不好对付,既难以控制好,又很容易浪费掉,当你向前看时,你觉得你的时间用不完。例如,在一个学期的开始,你或许觉得你有许多时间,但到学期快要结束时,你会突然发现时间快用光了,你甚至找不出时间把所有你必须干的事情干完,这样你就紧张了。答案是什么呢?控制。 2 Time is dangerous. If you don't control it, it will control you.I f you don't make it work fo r you, it will work against you. So you must become the master of time, not its servant. As a first-year college student, time management will be your number one Problem. 译:时间是危险的,如果你控制不了时间,时间就会控制你,如果你不能让时间为你服务,它就会起反作用。所以,你必须成为时间的主人,而不是它的奴仆,作为刚入学的大学生,妥善安排时间是你的头等大事。 3 Time is valuable. Wasting time is a bad habit. It is like a drug. The more time you waste,the easier it is to go on wasting time. If seriously wish to get the most out of college, you must put the time message into practice. 译:时间是珍贵的,浪费时间是个坏习惯,这就像毒品一样,你越浪费时间,就越容易继续浪费下去,如果你真的想充分利用上大学的机会,你就应该把利用时间的要旨付诸实践。Message1. Control time from the beginning. 4 Time is today, not tomorrow or next week. Start your plan at the Beginning of the term. 译:抓紧时间就是抓紧当前的时间,不要把事情推到明天或是下周,在学期开始就开始计划。Message2. Get the notebook habit. 5 Go and buy a notebook today, Use it to plan your study time each day. Once a weekly study plan is prepared, follow the same pattern every week with small changes. Sunday is a good day to make the Plan for the following week. 译:要旨二、养成用笔记本的习惯。 马上去买个笔记本,用它来计划你每一天的时间,一旦订好下每周的学习计划,每周就要这么做,但容许有些小的变动,星期日是制订下周计划的好时间。 Message3. Be realistic. 6 Often you know from experience how long it takes you to write a short essay, to study for a quiz, or to review for a final exam. When you plan time for these things, be realistic.Allow for unexpected things. Otherwise you entire plan may be upset.译:要旨三、要现实些。 你由经验可知道写一篇短文,准备小考或为期术考试复习需要多长的时间,当你为这些事情计划时间时,要现实些,要留有余地,要预计发生意外的事情,否则你的整个计划就会被
