解析

本题考查英文句子的翻译能力，解题思路是逐句分析英文句子的结构和词汇含义，结合中文表达习惯进行准确翻译。

  1. “Peking Opera is a famous traditional performing art in China.”
    • “Peking Opera” 明确是 “京剧”；“a famous traditional performing art” 即 “一种著名的传统表演艺术”；“in China” 表示 “在中国”。所以此句翻译为 “京剧是中国著名的传统表演艺术”。
  2. “It started in the late 18th century and is known around the world.”
    • “It” 指代 “Peking Opera”；“started in the late 18th century” 是 “起源于18世纪末”；“is known around the world” 也就是 “享誉全球” 或 “闻名于世”。此句可译为 “它起源于18世纪末，享誉全球” 或 “它起源于18世纪末，闻名于世”。
  3. “It mixes music, singing, acting, dance, and acrobatics.”
    • “mixes” 是 “融合、混合” 的意思；“music, singing, acting, dance, and acrobatics” 分别是 “音乐、歌唱、表演、舞蹈和杂技”。所以此句翻译为 “它将音乐、歌唱、表演、舞蹈及杂技融为一体” 或 “京剧融合了音乐、歌唱、表演、舞蹈和杂技等元素”。
  4. “The opera tells legends and stories from Chinese history.”
    • “The opera” 还是指 “京剧”；“tells” 是 “讲述”；“legends and stories from Chinese history” 即 “中国历史中的传奇故事”。此句可译为 “它讲述中国历史中的传奇故事”。
  5. “Performers wear colourful costumes and make - up.”
    • “Performers” 是 “演员”；“wear” 是 “穿着、戴着”；“colourful costumes” 是 “五彩戏服”；“make - up” 是 “妆容”。所以此句翻译为 “演员身着五彩戏服，化着浓重妆容” 或 “演员们身着五彩缤纷的戏服，化着精致的妆容”。
  6. “Although Peking Opera is not as popular as before, some people still enjoy it for its beauty and cultural significance.”
    • “Although” 引导让步状语从句，“not as popular as before” 是 “不如从前流行”；“enjoy it” 是 “欣赏它”；“for its beauty and cultural significance” 是 “因其艺术之美与文化价值”。此句可译为 “尽管如今不如从前流行，但仍有人因其艺术之美与文化价值而欣赏它” 或 “尽管京剧不如从前受欢迎，但仍有人因其艺术之美和文化价值而欣赏它”。
  7. “To make it more modern and interesting for present - day audiences, efforts have been made to modernise it, such as adding popular elements from modern music and dance to it.”
    • “To make it more modern and interesting for present - day audiences” 是目的状语，“使它对现代观众更现代、更有趣”；“efforts have been made to modernise it” 是 “努力对其进行现代化改造”；“such as” 表示举例，“adding popular elements from modern music and dance to it” 是 “加入现代音乐和舞蹈的流行元素”。此句可译为 “为吸引现代观众，京剧正融入现代音乐与舞蹈元素，进行现代化改革” 或 “为了使京剧更现代化、更吸引现代观众，人们正在努力对其进行现代化改造，例如加入现代音乐和舞蹈的流行元素”。
