Translation
1 Translate the sentences from the passage into Chinese.
1 While Mother Nature is unpredictable, several technologies promise to help with disaster forecasting and prevention, and allow us to act sooner rather than later.
2 AI can help technologists better interpret a growing amount of data and create forecasting models that can automatically alert authorities.
题目解答
答案
1. 虽然大自然变幻莫测(或:不可预测),但一些技术有望帮助进行灾害预测与预防,并使我们能够及早行动,而不是等到最后。(或:并让我们能够尽早采取行动。)
2. 人工智能可以帮助技术人员更好地解读越来越多的数据,并创建能够自动向有关部门发出警报的预测模型。(或:并创建可以自动向有关部门发出警报的预测模型。)
(注:第1句重点在于“Mother Nature”“unpredictable”“act sooner rather than later”的翻译,第2句需体现“a growing amount of data”及“automatically alert authorities”的含义。)
解析
本题考查英文句子的翻译能力。解题思路如下:
- 对于第一句 “While Mother Nature is unpredictable, several technologies promise to help with disaster forecasting and prevention, and allow us to act sooner rather than later.”
- 首先,“While” 引导让步状语从句,可译为 “虽然” 。
- “Mother Nature” 是固定表达,意为 “大自然” 。
- “unpredictable” 意思是 “不可预测的” 。
- “promise to do sth.” 表示 “有望做某事” 。
- “disaster forecasting and prevention” 即 “灾害预测与预防” 。
- “act sooner rather than later” 直译为 “行动得早一点而不是晚一点” ,意译为 “及早行动,而不是等到最后” 或者 “尽早采取行动” 。
- 综合起来,整句翻译为 “虽然大自然变幻莫测(或:不可预测),但一些技术有望帮助进行灾害预测与预防,并使我们能够及早行动,而不是等到最后。(或:并让我们能够尽早采取行动。)”
- 对于第二句 “AI can help technologists better interpret a growing amount of data and create forecasting models that can automatically alert authorities.”
- “AI” 是 “Artificial Intelligence” 的缩写,意为 “人工智能” 。
- “technologists” 指 “技术人员” 。
- “a growing amount of” 表示 “越来越多的” 。
- “interpret” 是 “解读” 的意思。
- “forecasting models” 是 “预测模型” 。
- “that can automatically alert authorities” 是定语从句,修饰 “forecasting models” ,可译为 “能够自动向有关部门发出警报的” 。
- 所以整句翻译为 “人工智能可以帮助技术人员更好地解读越来越多的数据,并创建能够自动向有关部门发出警报的预测模型。(或:并创建可以自动向有关部门发出警报的预测模型。)”
