解析
本题主要主要考查汉汉译英的能力,解题思路如下:
- 分析句子结构:对于每一个中文句子,首先要确定其基本的句子结构,比如主谓宾结构、主系表结构等,这有助于准确地将中文的语义转换为英文的语法结构。
- 词汇选择:根据中文句子的意思,选择合适的英文词汇。要注意词汇的准确性和恰当性,同时考虑词汇的搭配和用法。
- 时态运用:根据句子所表达的时间概念,选择正确的时态。例如,描述过去发生的动作要用一般过去时,描述现在的情况或趋势可以用现在进行时、一般现在时等。
- 固定表达:积累一些常见的固定表达,如“as soon as”“in surprise”“decide to do sth.”等,能使译文更加地道。
- 句子整合:将选择好的词汇按照英文的语法规则和表达习惯进行组合,形成完整的句子。
36. 中国的消费者用手机付款的趋势越来越普遍。
- 首先确定句子结构,这是一个主系表结构,“趋势”是主语,“越来越普遍”是表语。
- “中国的消费者”翻译为“Chinese consumers”;“用手机付款”是“consumers)umers paying with mobile phones”,这里用动名词短语作后置定语修饰“consumers”;“越来越普遍”是“more and more common”或“increasingly”修饰形容词“common”;“趋势”是“trend”。
- 可以有两种表达:
-
- “The trend of Chinese consumers paying with mobile phones is becoming more and more common.”
- “It is becoming increasingly common for Chinese consumers to make payments with their mobile phones.” 这里用了 “It is + 形容词 + for sb. to do sth.” 的结构。
-
37.孩子们一看见长城,就惊奇地大叫起来。
- 句子结构是“一……就……”,可以用 “as soon as 或 the moment 引导时间状语从句。
- “孩子们”是“the children”;“看见长城”是“saw the Great Wall”;“惊奇地大叫起来”是“shouted in surprise” 或 “cried out in amazement”。
- 所以译文可以翻译为 “As soon as the children saw the Great Wall, they shouted in surprise.” 或者 “The moment the children saw the Great Wall, they cried out in amazement.”
38.他们决定把这笔钱给那些最困难的人。
- 句子结构是主谓宾结构,“他们”是主语,“决定”是谓语,“把这笔钱给那些最困难的人”是宾语。
- “他们”是“they”;“决定做某事”是“decide to do sth.”;“把钱给某人”是“give the money to sb.”;“那些最困难的人”可以表达为“those in the greatest need” 或 “the people who are most in need”。
- 因此译文是 “They decided to give the money to those in the greatest need.” 或者 “They decided to give the money to the people who are most in need.”
39.我们的产品在过去几年中逐渐受到欢迎。
- 句子结构是主谓结构,“我们的产品是主语,受到欢迎是谓语。
- “我们的产品”是“Our products”;“逐渐”是“gradually”;“受到欢迎”是“become popular” 或 “gain popularity”;“在过去几年中”是“over the past few years” 或 “in the last few years”。
- 所以可以翻译为 “Our products have gradually become popular over the past few years.” 或者 “Our products have gained popularity gradually in the last few years.”
40.博物馆是孩子们接受教育和享受乐趣的好去处。
- 句子结构是主系表结构,“博物馆”是主语,“是”是系动词,“好去处”是表语。
- “博物馆”博物馆是“Museums”;“是……的好去处”是“a great place for...” 或 “an ideal place where...”;“孩子们是“children”;“接受教育”是“receive education” 或 “learn”;“享受乐趣”是“enjoy themselves” 或 “have fun”。
- 译文可以是 “Museums are a great place for children to receive education and enjoy themselves.” 或者 “MuseMuseums are an ideal place where children can learn and have fun.”
