英语段落翻译练习3参考答案

1. 随着中国日益成为韩国的重要贸易伙伴,两国的联系从外交和贸易延伸到了教育领域。中国是韩国最大的出口目的地,吸收了韩国约四分之一的出口产品,同时也吸引了韩国超过四分之一的留学生。虽然在美国留学的好处之一是可以练习英语(对找工作的人来说英语依然是最重要的语言),但韩国雇主对有中国经历的毕业生的需求越来越大。比如三星集团两年前说,具有中文语言能力的求职者会得到额外的加分。

【参考译文】With the increasing importance of China as a trade partner to South Korea, the connections between the countries are extending from diplomacy and trade to education. As South Korea’s b iggest export destination, China takes around a quarter of Korean exports and attracts more than a quarter of Korean students who are willing to study abroad. One of the benefits of studying in the U.S.A is the convenience of practicing spoken English, which is still viewed as the most important language for job seekers. But the demand for graduates with experience in China is getting increasingly greater. Samsung Group, for example, said two years ago that job applicants with Chinese language skills would get extra bonus points.

2. 中国是世界上最大的发展中国家,人口约占世界总人口的22%。在过去相当长的时期里,由于诸多原因,贫困一直困扰着中国。20世纪80年代中期,中国农村绝大多数地区凭借自身的发展优势,经济得到快速增长,但少数地区由于经济、社会、历史、自然等方面的制约,发展相对滞后。中国政府在致力于经济和社会全面发展的进程中,在全国范围内实施了以解决贫困人口温饱问题为主要目标的有计划、有组织的大规模扶贫开发,极大地缓解了贫困现象。

参考答案

China is the largest developing country in the world and its population accounts for about 22 percent of the world’s total. For a long period of its history, China has been plagued by poverty for various reasons. In the mid-1980s, the economy of an overwhelming majority of the rural areas in China grew dramatically by virtue of their own advantages, but a small number of areas still lagged behind because of the constraints of their economic, social, historical, and natural conditions. The Chinese government, while working on all-round economic and social development, has nationwide implemented a large-scale program for development-oriented poverty relief in a planned and organized way. With the main objective of helping poverty-stricken people solve the food and clothing problems. This program has gone a long way toward alleviating poverty.

难点精析

1.发展中国家:英语中对应的表达为developing country,该句结构简单,直译即可。::

2.人口约占世界总人口的……:此句紧接上文,和前面一个分句共享一个主语China,为了指代清楚并且避免重复,此处的“人口”可译为its population。表达“(数量、比例上)占”有一个常用的词组account for。“世界总人口”如果直译的话是the world’s total population或者the total population of the world,但是由于该分句的主语中已经出现了一次population,故此处可将total活用作名词,意为“总数”。

3.在过去相当长的时期里:该分句如果直译的话可译为for a long time in the past,但是根据语境,此处“相当长的时期”指的是“中国历史中的一个很长的时期”,又由于该分句所在句的主语随后紧接着出现,因:

而可以意译为for a long period of its history。 !

4.由于诸多原因:此处较为简单,可以有多种译法。“由于”可以用because of, due to, out of来表达,也可以用一个简洁的单词for。“诸多”的表达方式也有很多,如many, various, a lot of, lots of等。因而该分句可简洁地译为for various reasons。 : :

5.贫困一直困扰着……:表达“被贫困所困扰”较为常用的译法是be plagued by,由于此处表达的是过去已经发生并且其影响持续到现在的一种状态,因而注意时态要采用现在完成时。此处可译为…has been lagued by poverty。

6. 20世纪80年代中期……发展相对滞后:该句较长,翻译时要注意平衡句子的结构。“经济发展较快”中的: ;“经济”指的是“中国农村绝大多数地区的经济”,在翻译时可以照此调整一下句子的语序。“滞后”常用lag behind 来表达。

7.中国政府在致力于……缓解了贫困现象:该句内容较多,翻译时可以根据语义将该长句拆分成两个独立的句子,即:“中国政府在致力于经济和社会全面发展的进程中,在全国范围内实施了有计划、有组织的大规模扶贫开发。扶贫开发以解决贫困人口的溫饱问题为主要目标,极大地缓解了贫困现象。” “致力于”可以用短语work on来表达。“扶贫开发”实际上是一个项目,因而可灵活译为a program for development-oriented poverty relief。

3. 中欧经济贸易合作取得了可喜的成果。欧盟巳经成为中国的重要经贸伙伴,是中国最大的技术供应方、第三大贸易伙伴和第五大实际投资方。2001年,中欧贸易达到766亿美元,比上一年增长11%,尤其是中国从欧盟的进口增长了15.8%。我非常赞赏欧中贸协(Europe-China Business Association)与比中经贸理事会 (Belgium-Chinese Economic and Commercial Council)为发展中欧关系所做出的努力。中欧经济贸易合作具有广阔的前景。中欧经济具有很强的互补性,在贸易、投资、科技等领域具有很大的合作潜力。

1 All the world extended best wishes to Master Kenneth Brown of Philadelphia, who at the age of eight heard his Israeli Rhapsody played by the Philadelphia Orchestra and praised by musicians and critics. He has an excellent chance to become a successful and perhaps famous adult. 全世界的人给费城的Kenneth Brown大师送去最好的祝福,在他八岁的时候因为他的以色列狂想曲被众所周知,这个交响曲是被费城的交响乐团演奏的,受到了音乐家和评论家的称赞。他有一个极好的机会成为一个成功的也许是著名的成年人。 2 Through the ages child prodigies have been regarded by the “old wives” of tradition as unnaturally or diabolically gifted, apt to burn out young and land on the junk pile. The figures do not bear this out. Most exceptionally bright children grow into exceptionally bright adult. 古往今来的神童已经被传统的“老妇人”视为不自然的或恶魔般的天才,往往生出来有潜力的孩子生长在垃圾堆里。这些数字不足以证明这一点。也有很多特别聪明的孩子长成特别聪明的成年人。 3 For nearly forty years the Milwaukee Journal library has kept a “Child Prodigies” file. More than a hundred names are listed ---- boys and girls who broke into the news at ages three to twelve as poets, musicians, mathematics wizards, university students. More than 90 per cent of these names are forgotten by the world. Some of the cards, however, carry familiar names: Yehudi Menuhin, eight; Ruth Slenczynaska, six; Philippa Schuyler, three. They are now grown up, from their twenties into their forties and all have become noted musicians. 密尔沃基期刊库保持了“神童”的文件近四十年了。超过一百个名字被列出来了——名单里的上了新闻的男孩和女孩在3到12岁成为了诗人,音乐家,数学奇才,大学生。超过90%多的名字被世人遗忘。然而,一些名字众所周知:8岁的耶胡迪·梅纽因;6岁的露丝;3岁的菲利普。他们现在都长大了,从二十几岁到四十几岁,全部成为了著名的音乐家。 4 In a study of three hundred men and women of genius, Dr. Catherine M. Cox and her colleagues at Stanford University found that almost all of them had been unusually perceptive children, even though this fact had not always been recognized.The beloved author Oliver Goldsmith, for example, was pronounced b y his earliest teachers to be “dull, stupid, a heavy blockhead,little better than a fool whom everybody made fun of.” Actually, the teachers were too obtuse to understand the overly sensitive child; at home he was writing with surprising skill and astonishing his family. 在一个关于300多个天才男人和女人的研究中,Catherine M. Cox博士和她的斯坦福大学的同事发现:几乎所有的人都是非常有洞察力的孩子,尽管这一事实并不总是被认可。例如被人们爱戴的作家奥利弗·哥德史密斯,被他最早期的老师称为做“无聊、愚蠢的一个大笨蛋,仅仅比每个人都取笑的小傻瓜好一点”。事实上,这些老师过于迟钝去理解这些过于敏感的孩子;在家里他的超人的写作技巧震惊了他的家人。

In the case of a resistor, the voltage-current relationship is given by Ohm’s law, which states that the voltage across the resistor is equal to the current through the resistor multiplied by the value of the resistance. 就电阻来说, 电压—电流的关系由欧姆定律决定。欧姆定律指出:电阻两端的 电压等于电阻上流过的电流乘以电阻值。 2]It may be that the inductor voltage rather than the current is the variable of interest in the circuit. 或许在电路中,人们感兴趣的变量是电感电压而不是电感电流。 Viewed in this light, it will be found that the analysis of three-phase circuits is little more difficult than that of single-phase circuits. 这样看来,三相电路的分析比单相电路的分析难不了多少。 At unity power factor, the power in a single-phase circuit is zero twice each cycle. 在功率因数为 1时,单相电路里的功率值每个周波有两次为零。 It should be noted that if the polarity of point Awith respect to N ( is assumed for the positive half-cycle, then when used in the same phasor diagram should be drawn opposite to, or 180? out of phase with, . 应该注意,如果把 A 点相对于 N 的极性(定为正半周,那么在用于同一相量图中时就应该画得同相反,即相位差为 180? One problem with electronic devices corresponding to the generalized amplifiers is that the gains, AU or AI, depend upon internal properties of the two-port system. 对应于像广义放大器这样的电子装置,一个问题就是增益 AU 或者 AI ,它们取决于两输入端系统的内部特性。

近年来基于2010中国国家血压参考文献的中国儿童和青少年高血压患病率研究 儿童高血压是一种严重的公共卫生问题在世界范围内,尤其是在中国。流行病学研究表明,儿童高血压可以追踪到成年。此外,儿童高血压与成年发病率和死亡率的增加是密切相关的。2010年以前,在中国没有共识定义儿童高血压,这阻碍了中国不同的地区高血压患病率的比较。2010年,Mi 等人通过研究112227名3-18岁儿童和青少年的血压,获得了血压(BP)参考年龄和性别使用的参考文献。根据这个国家的定义,童年高血压定义为收缩压(SBP)和/或舒张压(菲律宾) 年龄和性别的百分比95以上。在本研究中,我们目的是执行使用系统回顾描述2010年中国的不同地区儿童和青少年高血压的患病率的应用。 PubMed和Wanfang数据库寻找合格的文献。搜索条件是(“高血压”或“高血压”)和(“孩子”或“青少年”或“学生”)和(“中国”或“中国人”)。从2010年1月(2010年后出版的, Mi 等人研究的中国国家血压引用文献.[5]),到2014年4月出版的刊物,语言仅限于英语和汉语。入选标准是:(1) 3-18岁的中国儿童和青少年;(2)使用2010中国血压参考标准;(3)测量收缩压和舒张压值至少在同一情况下三次;(3)自2008年以来进行的调查;(4)如果出版包括在不同年份的调查,只包括最近的调查。文献检索后,共有11项研究,(参与者总数是444214)(1、2、6-14)都包含在本研究中。纳入研究的特点总结在表1。高血压患病率在中国不同的区域有显著的不同, (图1)。中国北方城市包括北京(18.2%)或山东高血压患病率(23.3%)高于南部城市包括上海、湖南长沙、和海南(从3.1%升至11.2%)和农村地区。高血压患病率的升高可能很大程度上归因于中国北方饮食盐摄入量。例如,在山东农村成年人的每日摄取食盐约13 g,高于世界卫生组织(少于5克/天)推荐的两倍。 此外,在中国北方高血压高发病率中,肥胖是另一个重要的危险因素。在山东,大约16%的男生和8%的女生肥胖[16],而在湖南省长沙市相应的数据分别是7%和3%。我们还发现,基于中国健康和营养调查的数据和中国全国学生体质与健康调查,整体的高血压患病率14%。我们的研究有两个优点,首先,所有研究包括之后研究都采用相同的标准,即中国国家高血压参考文献。第二,所有调查研究在相似的时期,即从2008年到2010年,因此,流行是最新的,具有可比性。然而,应该注意研究中几个限制。首先,所有高血压患病率的研究仅为同一情况,除了孟等人[6] 在三个不同的时期提供的变化患病率。因此, 我们现在报告中的发病会高估了中国儿童和青少年的高血压真正的发病率。孟等人[6]表明, 在中国北京,3-18岁儿童和青少年高血压的患病率分别是三次分别是18.2%,5.1%,和3.1%。第二, 虽然我们列举了中国几个有限地区对肥胖患病率和消费的盐摄入量,但是中国不同地区高血压发病率不同,我们没有数据表明流行的原因是什么。第三,我们只研究几个儿童高血压高发地区, 需要进一步全面研究中国其他地区高血压患病率。第四,我们只报道汉族中国儿童高血压的患病率,而他少数民族没有类似报告。中国是一个多民族的国家有56个民族,但汉族占中国人口总数的92%左右。目前的研究表明,调查儿童和青少年高血压患病率和区域分布是很重要的,应该建立特定的干预策略来对抗高血压流行。主要措施应该建议控制体重,减少盐的摄入量,特别是在中国北方,以降低中国不同地区儿童高血压患病率。

Fashion,which is as old as time and as new as tomorrow,is one of the most powerful forces in our lives .It influences what we wear,the way we talk,the foods we eat,the way we live,how and where we travel,what we travel,what we look at,and what we listen to.Fashion is what lead us todiscard a product that is still useful but is no longer ―in‖.It is also what makes us sometimes wear more clothes than we may actually need,and sometimes less than is needed to product us from the ccold or the sun. 流行是这样一种事物,是我们抛弃了还可以使用,但不再时髦的产品。有时候使我们穿比我们真正穿的衣服多,有时候比我们穿抵御严寒酷暑的少。 If there is one absolute constant pertaining to fashion,it is the fact that it is always changing-sometimes rapidly,sometimes slowly,but it is never static or dormant.This element of change is recognized in the definitions of fashion itself cited earlier,by the use of such words as ―prevailing‖or ―a given period of time.‖To ignore the element of change is like looking at a still photograph in place of a motion picture.The still tells you what is happening here and now ;the motion picture shows you what came before and what may lie ahead. 如果存在着一种符合流行的绝对永恒,那就是流行是永远变化着的这一事实,(这种变化)时快时慢,但绝不会固定下来或呈休止状态。 “Fashion is a social phenomenon which reflects the same continuing change that rides through any given age .‖Change in fashion ,he emphasized,‘correspond with the subtle and often hidden network of forces that operate on society……’ “流行是一种社会现象,它反映了任何特定年代同样都要经历的持续变化。‖他强调说:“流行变迁与那些作用于社会的影响力量所具有的微妙,而又常常是暗藏着的系统是一致的。”It is only in restrospect that fashion changes seem marked or sudden .Autually ,they come about as a result of a series of gradual shifts from one season to the next.For example ,when women’s skirts began inching up from midcalf in the 1960s,this gradual shortening was not particularly noticeable at first .It was only when skirts moved thigh-high,in the form of minis and micro-minis ,that people took notice of the approaching extreme.Similarly,when men begin to abandon ultrannarrow ties and suit lapels in favor of more and more width,the changs are not noticed at first. 只有当追溯过去的时候,流行的变迁才显得特别引人注目或突然,实际上,这些变迁的发生是从一个季节到另一个季节的一系列逐渐变化的结果。例如,女裙的逐渐变短的时候并没有被注意到,。 ………………………………………………………… Color can be the basis for a whole group or line .It is the first element to which consumers respond .People relate personally to color,usually either selecting or rejecting a garment beccause of its ccolor appeal.Therefore,designers must cconsider their customers and provide colors that are both appealing and flattering. 色彩是整个款式系列中的基本要素,它是能够引起顾客回应的第一要素。人们把色彩和个人联系起来,他们往往根据颜色来选择或拒绝一件衣服,因此设计师必须考虑他们的顾客,并且提供出令他们喜爱和满意的色彩,消费群体。 In clothing,neutrals such as beige,tan,brown,white ,gray,and black are even more popular than the ccolors just mentioned.The reason is probably that they present a pleasing background for the wearer without completing for attention. Neutrals are part of every season‖s fashion picture ,as either a strong fashion statement or a way to round out a color story. 在服装中,中色调例如灰中色,深褐,褐色,白灰和黑色,甚至还有比刚刚提到的更多的

The problem is that they lack the skills to exploit it effectively. Therefore, it makes more sense to aim for universal literacy than universal Internet access.
