英语四级翻译的课堂笔记

  1._______________ (他们没有去游泳),they went to play football that day.

  2.There is no doubt that _____________ (需求的增长导致了价格的上涨).

  3.He can not win a good reputation,______________ (因为他多嘴多舌).

  4.We have reasons to believe that ______________ (一个更加光明美好的未来等着我们).

  5.There are plenty of opportunities for everyone in our society,______________ (但是只有那些做好充分准备并且高度称职的人)can make use of them to achieve purpose.

  答案与解析:

  1. Instead of going swimming

  原文中 没有 并不一定要对应成didnt,可以使用instead of,使译文简洁明了,合乎英语习惯。采用正译法,用英语不带否定词的表达来代替中文的 没有去 。从另一角度看,后半句英语没有出现表示转折含义的连接词(如but),因此They didnt go swimming也是不成立的,不符合句法规范。

  2. the increase in demand resulted in /caused the rise in prices

  要注意分清result from 和result in的区别。result from指be caused by(由 产生),是指原因;result in指cause,lead to(导致 ),是指结果。

  3. because he has a loose tongue

  多嘴多舌 显然有gossip的意思。答案because he has a loose tongue看起来与原文并不对应,但却形象地讲内涵表达了出来。其他类似的翻译还有:a bitter tongue(刻薄嘴);a long tongue(快嘴);a rough tongue(粗鲁话);a sharp tongue(言语尖刻);a silver tongue(流利的口才);a smooth tongue(油嘴滑舌)。
